Parish Boundaries
Parish Boundaries, see 1 Vict. c. 69, s. 2; 2 & 3Vict. c. 62, ss. 34-6; 3 & 4 Vict. c. 15, s. 28; 8 & 9 Vict. c. 118, ss. 39-45; and 12 & 13 Vict. c. 83, ss. 1, 9. See also 38 & 39 Vict. c. 55, s. 278; and as to the better arrangement of divided parishes, see 39 & 40 Vict. c. 61. In order to perpetuate the memory of parish boundaries it was anciently the custom for the parishioners to walk round or perambulate the parish generally during Rogation Week. This was called 'beating the bounds.' Although the fixing of parish boundaries by Act of Parliament and the more general use of maps has done away with this necessity, perambulations still take place in many parishes. As to alteration of parish boundaries, see (English) Local Government Act, 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5, c. 51), s. 141....

Boundaries
Boundaries are the lines marking the division between two adjacent territories. The boundary may be (a) physical, or (b) national and supported by documentary or other evidence. (a) may consist of walls, fences, hedges or ditches, and the presumption is that the outer line along the top line of the ditch bank furthest from the hedge marks the boundary of the land on which the hedge, if any, is erected, because the owner of the soil would be presumed to throw up the soil on the his own land for the hedge, but this presumption may be rebutted. Simple fences or ditches and walls frequently belong to the owners of both properties in common, see PARTY WALL.Physical boundaries may also be roads or non-tidal streams, see Ad medium fil', or the sea or tidal rives, in which case the high-water mark of medium tides is presumed to be the boundary. Williams Real Property, 23rd Edn., p. 463. (b) Unmarked or imaginary boundaries are generally ascertained by reference to maps or plans, or by descript...
Confusion of boundaries
Confusion of boundaries, was a jurisdiction of equity, concurrent with the Common Law. The Civil Law was far more provident than ours upon the subject of boundaries. It considered that there was a tacit agreement or duty between adjacent proprietors to keep up and preserve the boundaries between their respective estates, and it enabled all persons having an interest to bring a suit to have the boundaries between them settled; and this, whether they were tenants for years, usufructuar-ies, mortgagees, or proprietors. The action was called actio finium regundorum; and if the possession were also in dispute, that might be ascertained and fixed in the same suit, and indeed was incident to it. Equity adopts this general rule, not to entertain jurisdiction in cases of confusion of boundaries upon the ground that the boundaries are in controversy, but to require that there should be some equity super induced by the act of the parties; such as some particular circumstances of fraud, or some co...

Whoever legally bound by an oath or by an express provisions of law to state the truth
Whoever legally bound by an oath or by an express provisions of law to state the truth, The opening words of s. 191 'whoever being legally bound by an oath or by an express provision of law to state the truth........' do not support the submission that a man who is not bound under the law to make an affidavit, can if he does make one, deliberately retrain from stating truthfully the facts which are within his knowledge. The meaning of these words is that whenever in a court of law a person binds himself on oath to state the truth he is bound to state the truth and he cannot be heard to say that he should not have gone into the witness box or should not have made an affidavit and therefore the submission that any false statement which he had made after taking the oath is not covered by the words of s. 191, IPC is not supportable. Whenever a man makes a statement in court on oath he is bound to state the truth and if he does not, he makes himself liable under the provisions of s. 193. It...
