Average
Average, a medium, a mean proportion used in various senses:-(1) A service which a tenant owes to his lord by doing work with his avers.(2) A shipping or insurance term. (a) Average, or more fully general average, is where any damage or loss has been properly and voluntarily incurred in respect of a ship or cargo for its safety, e.g., goods thrown overboard in a storm to lighten the ship.

(1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property. The barons assembled at St.Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, in the later part of the year 1214, and there solemnly swore upon the high alter to withdraw their allegiance from the Crown, and openly rebel, unless King John confirmed by a formal charter the ancient li...
