Dealing with this grant of a monopoly of school keeping to Eton College, Mr. Leach remarks "The remarkable invasion of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, to which alone the grants and still more the enforcement of the monopoly of endowed schools belonged," etc. _Schs. Med. Eng._, p. 259. Mr. Leach is in error here. The grant of the monopoly of school keeping was a civil matter.

[291] The text of the "Gloucester School Case" is to be found in the Year Book of the eleventh year of Henry IV., p. 47. It is reprinted as an appendix to de Montmorency, _State Intervention_, pp. 241-242. Mr. de Montmorency would seem to be in error in his interpretation of the decision.
