The present paper discusses the regulations (Ordynacja) issued on the 6th of June 1759 and governing the jurydyka Wygoda, the jurydyka being an enclave subjected to the authorities other than those of the city in which jurydyka  was located. The paper discusses the content of the regulations and the innovations that they introduced in the jurydyka’s organization.

The regulations governing the jurydykas, despite their resemblance to similar acts issued for villages, had their own specificacy. The latter referred to the problems that they regulated, modus procedendi applied for their adoption as well as the influence that the jurydyka’s community might have on the content of the regulations.

The analysed regulations are designed to introduce some order into the situation prevalent in the jurydyka. Therefore the regulations reactivate the office of the commune head and the benchers. They try to improve their functioning and restore the weakened prestige of the owners of jurydyka. They try to oppose the interference in the jurydyka’s affairs as made by the external authorities.

The author of the paper emphasizes the significance of those provisions of the regulations that provide for the principles along which the contracts referring to the jurydykas’ real estates should be formulated, there being formed a larger control over such transactions. The regulations tried to simplify and improve the organization and functioning of the commune head and the benchers. Likewise, they tried to prevent the abuse of law. The study of the regulations enlarges our knowledge about the functioning of the old-time jurydykas in Cracow.
