tithe of agistment

Read a random definition: legit vel non

A quick definition of tithe of agistment:

Tithe of Agistment: A long time ago, churches used to charge people who let their animals graze on certain lands. This charge was called the tithe of agistment. The person who owned the land didn't have to pay, but the person who let their animals eat the grass did. It was like a tax on the animals. Agistment is also when someone pays to let their animals graze on someone else's land. Sometimes, people had to pay a charge on their land to keep the sea from coming in. This was called agistment of sea-banks.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tithe of agistment is a historical church-levied charge on grazing land. It was paid by the occupier of the land rather than the person whose cattle grazed on the land.

Example: In medieval England, the church would collect a tithe of agistment from farmers who allowed their livestock to graze on church-owned land. For example, if a farmer had ten cows grazing on church land, they would have to pay a tithe of one cow to the church.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the tithe of agistment worked in practice. The farmer who owned the cows had to pay the tithe, even though the cows were grazing on church land. This was a way for the church to collect revenue from the use of its land.

Agistment, on the other hand, is a type of bailment where a person allows animals to graze on their pasture for a fee. It can also refer to a charge levied upon the owner or occupier of land. For example, a farmer might charge a fee for allowing their neighbor's cows to graze on their land.

Example: A rancher in Montana charges $2 per head per day for agistment of cattle on his land.

Explanation: This example shows how agistment works in a modern context. The rancher is allowing other people's cattle to graze on his land for a fee. The fee is based on a per-head, per-day rate.

Agistment of sea-banks is a historical charge on land used to pay for the upkeep of dikes that prevent the encroachment of the sea.

Example: In the Netherlands, landowners paid an agistment of sea-banks to maintain the dikes that protected their land from flooding.

Explanation: This example shows how agistment of sea-banks worked in practice. Landowners paid a fee to maintain the dikes that protected their land from the sea. This was a way to ensure that their land remained productive and safe from flooding.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

soapy

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.
soapy

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy

Or another essay?
