Uses
Uses (History). A use is the intention or purpose, express or implied, upon which property is to be held. The Common Law treated the actual possessor for all purposes as the owner of the property. It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...

Week, in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (Third Edition), the word 'week' has been described as meaning 'the cycle of seven days, recognized in the calendar of the Jews and thence adopted in the calendar of Christian, Moham-medan and various other peoples. A space of seven days, irrespective of the time from which it is reckoned. Seven days as a term for periodical payments (of wages, rent, or the like), or as a unit of reckoning for time of work or service'. In Webster's New World Dictionary (1962 Edition), the meaning of the word 'week' is given as 'a period of seven days, especially one beginning with Sunday and ending with Saturday; the hours or days of work in a seven-day period'. In Stroud's Judicial Dictionary (Third Edition), it is stated that '(1) though a week usually means any consecutive seven days, it will sometimes be interpreted to mean the ordinary notion of a week reckoning from Sunday to Sunday and (2) probably, a week usually means seven clear days'. A 'week' a...
