Home Dictionary Name: claimableDemurrage
Demurrage, a term used in commercial navigation, signifying on allowance made to the owners of a ship by the freighter, for detaining her in port longer than the period agreed upon for her sailing. It is usually stipulated in charter-parties and bills of lading, that a certain number of days, called running or working or lay days, shall be allowed for receiving or discharging the cargo, and that the freighter may detain the vessel for a further specified time, or as long as he pleases, on payment of so much per diem for such overtime. When the contract of affreightment expressly stipulates that so many days shall be allowed for discharging or receiving the cargo, and so many more for overtime or demurrage days, such limitation is interpreted as an express stipulation on the part of the freighter that the vessel shall in no event be detained longer; if detained the charterer, is liable for damages for breach of contract for which the rate of demurrage is generally the measure.

Free-bench
Free-bench [sedes libera, Lat.], a widow's dower out of copyholds to which she was entitled by the custom of some manors. It is regarded as an excrescence growing out of the husband's interest, and is indeed a continuance of his estate.The term free-bench is equally applicable to the estate which, by the custom of some manors, a husband takes in his wife's copyhold lands after her death, and anciently it was indiscriminately applied to that and to the widow's dower, but now the estate of the husband is called his curtesy, while the term free-bench is confined to the widow.Since free-bench is only claimable by special custom, the estate which a widow is to take, both as to its quantity, quality, and duration, must be such as the custom prescribes. It is generally a third for her life, as at Common Law, but it is sometimes a fourth part only, and sometimes but a portion of the rent. In many manors the wife takes the whole for her life, in others she takes the inheritance.Frequently the c...

Prescription
Prescription [fr. pr'scribo, Lat.], title produced and authorised by long usage. It is known in the Roman Law as usucapio.Title by prescription arises from a long-continued and uninterrupted possession of property, and is thus defined by Sir Edward Coke (Co. Litt. 113 b), Pr'scriptio est titulus ex usu et tempore substantiam capiens ab authoritatelegis. (Prescription is a title taking his substance of use and time allowed by the law.)Every species of prescription, by which property is acquired or lost, is founded on the presumption that he who has had a quiet and uninterrupted possession of anything for a long period of years is supposed to have a just right, without which he would not have been suffered to continue in the enjoyment of it. For a long possession may be considered as a better title than can commonly be produced, as it supposes an acquiescence in all other claimants; and that acquiescence also supposes some reason for which the claim was foreborne, 1 Cruise's Dig., tit. X...
