I'm amused (and appalled) at women and children being legally treated
the same as livestock, so 9 gets my vote. And with a private land
definition, why not add on the common land counterpart,, number 7 (at
least they only turn out pigs, and not woman and children to forage.)

None of them seem really credible (including mine). The idea of 7 appeals to me, and 2 sort of sounds right.
