Confusion, property by
Confusion, property by. Where goods of two persons are so intermixed that the several portions can no longer be distinguished; if the intermixture be by consent, it is supposed that the proprietors have an interest in common, in proportion to their respective shares; but if one wilfully intermix his money, corn, or hay, with that of another man, without his approbation or knowledge, or cast gold in like manner into another's melting-pot or crucible, our law allows no remedy in such a case, but gives the entire property without any account to him whose original dominion or property is invaded, and endeavoured to be rendered uncertain without his consent, 2 Bl. Com. 405. See also Vin. Abr. Justification (B) and Instit. of Justin. 1.

Mutual account
Mutual account, a 'mutual account' means not merely where one of the parties has received money and paid it on account of the other, but where each of the two parties has received and paid on the other's account. Transactions creating obligations on one side, those on the other being merely complete or partial discharges thereof, are not enough to constitute mutual account. The account is not rendered 'mutual' by the mere shifting of the balance on same occasions....

Pawn or Pledge
Pawn or Pledge [fr. pignus, Lat.], a bailment of goods by a debtor to his creditor, to be kept till the debt is discharged.A mortgage of goods is in the Common Law distinguishable from a mere pledge or pawn. By a mortgage the whole legal title passes conditionally to the mortgagee; and if the goods be not redeemed at the stipulated time, the title becomes absolute at law although equity allows a redemption. But in a pledge, a special property only passes to the pledgee, the general property remaining in the pledgor. Also, in the case of a pledge, the right of a pledgee is not consummated, except by possession; and, ordinarily, when that possession is relinquished, the right of the pledgee is extinguished or waived. But, in the case of a mortgage of personal property the right of property passes by the conveyance to the mortgagee, and the possession is not or may not be essential to create or support the title.As to things which may be the subject of pawn: These are, ordinarily, goods a...

Churchwardens
Churchwardens, anciently styled Church Reeves or Ecclesi' Guardiani, the guardians or keepers of the church, and representatives of the body of the parish; but though in some sort ecclesiastical officers, they are always lay persons. They are a quasi corporation for certain purpose, Withnell v. Gartham, (1795) 6 TR 388 (396), and in the City of London they are a corporation for the purpose of holding lands; but beyond that they are only annual officers, Fell v. Official Trustee of Charity Lands, 1898 (2) Ch 59. They are sometimes appointed by the minister, sometimes by the Vestry and Parochial Church Meeting sitting together (see 11 & 12 Geo. 5 No. 1, s. 13), sometimes by the minister and the meeting together, sometimes one by the minister and another by the meeting, as custom directs. Where there is no custom the election must be according to Canon 89 and s. 13 above, under which they must be chosen by the joint consent of the minister and the meeting, and if they cannot agree, then t...

Mandate
Mandate [fr. mandatum, Lat.], a judicial command, charge, commission.Also, a bailment of goods, without reward, to be carried from place to place, or to have some act performed about them. The person employing is called in the Civil Law mandans or mandator, and the person employed mandatarius or mandatory. The distinction between a mandate and a deposit is that in the latter the principal object of the parties is the custody of the thing; and the service and labour are merely accessorial. In the former, the labour and service are the principal objects of the parties, and the thing is merely accessorial. Three things are necessary to create a mandate: (1) that there should exist something which should be the subject of the contract, or some act or business to be done; (2) that it should be done gratuitously; (3) that the parties should voluntarily intend to enter into the contract. A mandatary incurs three obligations: (1) to do the act which is the object of the mandate, and with which...
