Unfortunately back in March the members of the Lewisham council and the nature reserve at the top of Devonshire Road decided to trash my greenhouse without due consultation to me. They just smashed it up and skipped it. After various responses they admitted to it but claimed it was theirs because it was on their land. I asked them to resolve this issue but they could only deeply apologise. They even tried to claim afterward that it was dangerous because there were missing panels. Admittedly this was true because during transportation the greenhouse was damaged. But it was still a safe structure. In fact, the nature group had lost contact with the one project leader who helped me construct it. She had resigned from her activities because of the general out-of-touch attitude of the committee there. They did not want to replace it so I refused to pay the council tax on the basis that I am not a legal entity (corporate body) but rather a human being. I quoted Common Law and told them it was a violation of private property, and that they have broken the law. It went to court but I issued a Notice to the courts (opposite) stating my position as a human being. The council were uncomfortable with the idea and tried to deter me from asking for a hearing. They suggested that I should just pay up with an additional fine. I advised them that they have not resolved the issue of the greenhouse, and that as an Officer of the Peace they had rejected my own resolution. So I looked the judge in the eye and said that I was sovereign here, that I did not have to use the courts to resolve this case of the unpaid council tax, that I was not a corporate body, i.e. a legal entity, and that I am setting a precedent. I went under the commonly known name of Merlyn Peter, not Mr. Merlyn Peter. So she asked me what would I have them do. I said that as one corporate body to another (from the courts to the council) they should enforce the council to resolve the issue of the greenhouse first before I could even be considered a legal entity. They discussed it for a while and then ordered Mr. Merlyn Peter to pay the outstanding amount of council tax from May this year. I walked out saying politely thanks very much, telling them I did not need to be here anymore. They also thanked me for my time. “The Magistrates are purely there for issuing summary judgement for profit.” No letter from the courts was forthcoming. Instead I have received a letter from the bailiffs telling me to pay the outstanding balance and fine. They are now knocking on my door. This is a violation of my peace. I don't vote/am not on the electoral role. I claim no monies from the government. I don't pay taxes. I don't earn enough to pay off my debts (my rent is £5,000 a year). I want nothing to do with the system - I am a freeman. I have a right to protect myself.

My suggested course of action is to form a militia to protect the natural rights of the common man and hand a Notice of Intent to bailiffs Whyte & Co. based in Swanley, Kent stating that it is gross negligence to not know the difference between Common Law and Statutory Law. That as Freeman we have a right to be left alone in peace without violation to our property and selves. Who will join me?

NOTICE
Dated 6th September 2011
Issued to:
Bromley Magistrates Court
Bromley, Kent BR1 1RA

Let me state firstly that I am not acting in “person”, as a corporate body. I am Merlyn Peter, a human being exercising my sovereign rights. This includes the application of the Common Law as distinct from Statutory Law or corporate law. I do not consent to being governed under the legal system and as such have not “contracted” with either yourselves or any other legal corporate entity concerning the matter of council tax payments. I am Merlyn Peter, an identity I choose to represent my true human self and not given to me at birth. When you address me in court it is in this capacity that you must proceed. To uphold the Common Law and to be protected by your ‘oath-spoken’ or ‘juris-diction’, a power invested by the community, you should give clear evidence of your conviction here.

Now, in clarification of the outstanding issue, the reason for the withdrawal of my council tax payments is due to the violation of the Common Law by the claiming party, in this case Lewisham Council. I have given, I believe, ample reason indicated in the communications between myself and the said corporate body. The destruction of my property by Lewisham Council and the offer of a peace settlement was rejected or not simply accommodated by them. I have written to the Mayor and other heads of their departments and notified them of my actions. The enforcement of a liability order against me contravenes any peaceful resolution under Common Law. Under these conditions I will not legally contract to pay any further instalments unless the offending said body seeks to grant me compensation for the loss, and acknowledge the power of Common Law. A conditional acceptance to their demands must first deal with the said lawful issue of the destruction of the greenhouse before any legal issues regarding council tax payments can be finalised. Likewise, I set a precedent here, that all corporate bodies wanting to exact my consent under legislative law should prove my own corporate liability as well as theirs. And also, that any further court appearances or legal afflictions upon myself, a human being, is subject to retributive costs of one sorts or another.

I hereby witness the existence of this document.
