Bill of exceptions
Bill of exceptions. Prior to the Judicature Acts, if a judge, at the trial of a cause at Nisi Prius, mistook the law, either in directing a judgment of nonsuit or in refusing or admitting evidence or challenges, and other matters, the counsel for the party dissatisfied with the ruling of the judge might tender a bill of exceptions at any time before verdict, and require the judge to seal it.By the Judicature Act, 1875, Ord. LVIII., r. 1, bills of exception are abolished. But it is provided by s. 22, 'that nothing in the said Act, nor in any rule, etc., shall prejudice the right of any party to any action to have the issues for trial by jury submitted and left by the judge to the jury, etc.: Provided also, that the said right may be enforced either by motion in the High Court of Justice or by motion in the Court of Appeal, founded upon an exception entered upon or annexed to the record.' It is believed that this section has never been acted upon. The present mode of proceeding is by mot...
Attendant term
Attendant term. Terms for years in real property are created for many purposes, e.g., to furnish money for the payment of debts, to secure rent charges or jointures, to raise portions for younger children, daughters, etc. Now, although the purpose for which the term was originally created has been satisfied or has failed, yet, not being surrendered, it continued to exit, the legal interest remaining in the trustees, to whom it was at its creation limited, or, if deceased, in their personal representatives; but the person entitled to the inheritance then became, according to equitable principle, entitled to the beneficial interest in such term, and the term or was held to be such person's trustee. This beneficial interest was subordinate to and merely attendant upon the higher estate possessed by the owner of the inheritance, and yet completely consolidated with it, following the inheritance in all the various modifications and changes to which it might be subjected by act of law or arr...
Proviso for redemption
Proviso for redemption. The condition in a conveyance upon mortgage whereby if the mortgagor pays to the mortgagee the principal, interest, and any other moneys secured by the mortgage on a specified day, the mortgagee becomes bound to reconvey the mortgaged property to the mortgagor at any time at his request and cost. By the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 115, a receipt of the person entitled to give a receipt (see statutory form) for the moneys secured by the mortgage endorsed on or written at the foot if, or annexed to the mortgage operates as a surrender or release of the mortgagee's term or as a reconveyance of all the mortgaged interest or property, and in either case a discharge of all the moneys secured by the mortgage without any other reconveyance, surrender or release. See MORTGAGE....

Option of purchase in a lease
Option of purchase in a lease. A clause giving the lessee the option of purchasing the reversion for a fixed sum within a limited number of years, or at anytime during the term, is sometimes inserted in leases. A clause giving an option of purchase at any time during a ninety-nine years' lease offends against the law of perpetuities (see that title) and cannot be specifically enforced, Woodall v. Clifton, (1905) 2 Ch 257; Worthing Corporation v. Heather, (1906) 2 Ch 532. For statement of opinion that the clause 'to be completely valid must be so expressed that the option must necessarily be exercised (if at all) within the limits of the time allowed by the rule against perpetuities,' so that probably not more than twenty one years could be allowed in a lease independent of life, see article by Mr. T. Cyprian Williams in the Solicitors' Journal for July 9, 1898; and for cases on option of purchase generally, see Woodfall, L. & T....
Escape
Escape [fr. echapper, Fr., to fly from], a violent or private evasion out of some lawful restraint; as where a man is arrested or imprisoned, and gets away before he is delivered by due course of law. Escapes are either in civil or criminal cases.(1) Civil. The abolition of imprisonment for debt has rendered this all but obsolete, and the sheriff is expressly discharged from any liability by s. 31 of the Prison Act, 1877, repealed and re-enacted by s. 16, sub-s. 2, and s. 39 of the (English) Sheriffs Act, 1887. Escapes are either voluntary, by the express consent of the keeper, after which he never can take his prisoner again (though the plaintiff may retake him at any time), but the sheriff had to answer for the debt, and he had no remedy over against the person escaping; or, negligent, where a prisoner escapes without his keeper's knowledge or consent, and then upon fresh pursuit the defendant may be retaken, even on a Sunday, and the sheriff was excused, if he had him again, before ...
Local land charges
Local land charges. Charges on land acquired at anytime by any local authority, including county, borough or rural district councils under the Public Health Metropolis Management or Private Street Works Act, or under any similar statute (public, general or local or private) passed at any time, must be registered in the local land-charge registry (see (English) Local Land Charges Rules,1927, S.R. & O., 1927, 869/L, 33), as provided by the Land Charges Act, 1925, s. 15, as amended by (English) Law of Property (Amendment) Act, 1926, or they will be void as against a purchaser for money or money's worth of a legal estate in the land affected. The following are included: town planning schemes and resolutions, and restrictions created after 1925 on user of land or buildings, imposed or enforceable by a local authority with some exceptions [see s. 15 (7) (b), ibid.], and this applies to local land charges affecting both registered and unregistered land. As to searches and official certificate...
