Ally McBeal–Cadence Cornell Flashcards — Fish, Fishponds & Garum
| Cues Who? Where? Duty? |
Notes (comic-legal cadence) Steward — yes, the steward (the named officer): keep fishponds on our estates where they existed; enlarge them where possible. Steward shall sell the fish from our fishponds when we do not visit the estates, and then steward shall get profit for our benefit. Replenish the ponds so there is always a supply. (Clause 21 & 65.) |
| Summary: Steward = guardian of fishponds on our estates; sell when ruler is away; keep supply up. | |
| Cues What item? Who? How? |
Notes (comic-legal cadence) Garum — declared by text and treated like other prepared goods: the steward (and those under his care) must see that garum on our estates is made with the greatest attention to cleanliness. (Clause 34.) |
| Summary: Steward → clean garum on our estates; hygiene is law. | |
| Cues When? What? Who receives? |
Notes (comic-legal cadence) Lent (Lenten food) — two thirds of Lenten food, including fish, shall be sent each year for our use (the royal household / palace). Stewards are the actors responsible to send and to inform us by letter about leftovers. (Clause 44.) |
| Summary: During Lent, stewards send fish to the royal household and report what remains. | |
| Cues Who to keep nearby? Where? |
Notes (comic-legal cadence) Every steward shall have in his district good fishermen and net-makers. Fishermen supply fish; net-makers supply nets for fishing (and fowling). The district is the steward's responsibility for keeping those skills at hand. (Clause 45.) |
| Summary: Steward must keep fishermen and net-makers in his district to secure fish supply. | |
| Cues What to list? Who reports? When? |
Notes (comic-legal cadence) Fishponds & Fishermen — the steward must itemize income from fishponds and from the fishermen, set it under separate headings, and send the information to us (the ruler) at Christmas time as part of the estate accounts. (Clause 62.) |
| Summary: Stewards report fishpond and fishermen income to the royal household at Christmas. | |
