Beset
Beset. S. 7 of the (English) Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 86), makes it an offence to beset the house or place where another resides or works with a view to compel him to abstain from doing or to do any act which he has a legal right to do or abstain from doing. The effect of this section in the case of a trade dispute has been mitigated by s. 2 of the (English) Trade Disputes Act, 1906 (6 Edw. 7, c. 47), which legalizes 'peaceful picketing,' but by the (English) Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Act, 1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5. C. 22), s. 3, attending in such numbers or manner as is declared to be unlawful by the Act shall be deemed to be a watching or besetting within s. 7 of the 1875 Act....
