MERGER
This needs to be merged into Prize law, which is a thorough and accurate discussion of the subject. This article duplicates some of what is already there -- and where it departs it is neither thorough nor accurate. FrederickFolger &#9875; (talk) 15:26, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * There being no objection in the last month, I will proceed with the merger. FrederickFolger &#9875; (talk) 14:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
