I always thought that edict was a bit of an overkill.The last thing the hobbits needed was a deeper isolationist streak-maybe they had faerie anscestors after all? And no man of bree for instance who had heard tale of the Mallorn would be allowed in? hen again he probably would not have been allowed in Lorien prior to the passing of the rings either!
Then again that Law saved the High King and Queen of Arnor and Gondor from having to visit Bag End , the Great Smials and Buckhall,every time they were in his old neighborhood, now he could just swing by the brige!<img src=smile.gif ALT="
