Halifax Gibbet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not too sure about this being a stupid law but its an ancient one from where i live

There were however a couple of methods of escape from this punitive judgement. In one, it depended much, I fear, on chance slightly delaying the drop of the axe, at which point if the prisoner was quick enough, he could make a run for it. This assumes that there was no means of securing the prisoner’s head to the block, as was not the case with the later French guillotine.
Provided the prisoner was able to escape from the dropping block, he then had to make a dash for the boundary of the liberty, which in the case of the north, it was but a distance of 600 paces, while that to the south it was about a mile, on the west about 10 miles, and once a prisoner had crossed the boundary, there was no legal means by which he could be brought back. If however, during his lifetime, he dared to venture back into the liberty, and if recognised, he could be taken once more, and put to the gibbet, as in the case of one John Lacy. He spent seven years outside of the liberty before making a return, but he was apprehended, and subsequently executed, on the original verdict, in the year 1623. The other method of escaping the gibbet it seems, was simply to refuse to confess, and provided the goods were not found in the possession of the alleged felon, then by the Law, he had to be acquitted. Having said that, the act of committing perjury was more of a sin than the prospect of death was frightening, for perjury was then a sin against God, and God was the ultimate judge on a man’s fate, whether he was destined for Heaven or Hell, which might account for why so many climbed the stone steps to the block.


The way i see it if he was fast enough to get his head out in time he woulda been fast enough to outrun anybody to the town border

They are funny. In Canada too there are so many weird Laws that are still in the books and not been deleted/erased. Many crazy things like mentioned above. Where you can or cannot tie up your horse etc. Its sometimes quite interesting though to try to understand why some of these strange laws were ever put into effect in the first place??
