The Propination Rights in Galicia. An Outline

Summary/Abstract: The propination rights provided for the exclusive right to produce and sell alcoholic beverages. In the 19th century, however, these rights, together with the serfdom, became a relic of a bygone era, having no place in the existing social and legal system, which ultimately led to its abolition.The article presents research problems related to the propination rights in Galicia. The first part of the article presents the definition and nature of propination in Poland, its connection to the feudal system and the phenomenon of forced propination. The second part of the article discusses the propina- tion rights in Galicia during the first half of the 19th century, taking into account social, political and legal factors. It presents the issue of propination during the period of Galician autonomy in the second half of the 19th century as well. This part includes also issues of competent authorities and the ultimate abolition of these rights on the basis of the Act of December 30, 1875, and the Act of April 22, 1889.
