Process and processing
Process and processing, the natural meaning of the word 'process' is a mode of treatment of certain materials in order to produce a good result, a species of activity performed on the subject matter in order to transform or reduce it to a certain stage. According to Oxford Dictionary one of the mean-ings of the word 'process' is 'a continuous and regular action or succession of actions taking place or carried on in a definite manner and leading to the accomplishment of some result.' The activity contemplated by the definition is perfectly general requiring only the continuous or quick succession. It is not one of the requisites that the activity should involve some operation on some material in order to effect its conversion to some particular stage.

For similar reasons equitable interests were after the statute revived under the form of trusts. as such, they continued to flourish, notwithstanding the singular amelioration effected at a later period in the law of tenure, because the legal ownership was attended with some peculiar inconveniences. For, in order to guard against the forfeiture of a legal estate for life passive trusts, by settlements, were resorted to, and hence, trusts to preserve contingent remainders; and passive trusts were created in order to prevent dower.Where an active trust was created, without defining the quantity of the estate to be taken by the trustee, the court...
