Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia
An officer of the English crown, who had the management of the mines and quarries in the Forest of Dean and Hundred of St. Briavels, subject, in some respects, to the control of commissioners of woods and forests. He granted gales to free miners in their proper order, accepted surrenders of gales, and kept the registers required by the acts. There was a deputy-gaveller who appears to have exercised most of the gaveller’s functions.
