Novell'
Novell', those constitutions of the Civil law which were made after the publication of the Theodosian code; but sometimes the Julian edition only is meant.Novell', or Novell' Constitutiones, from a part of the Corpus Juris. Most of them were published in Greek, and their Greek title is Avtokpatopos' Invotiviavov Auyovotov nepai Siataeves. Some of them were published in Latin, and some in both languages.The first of these Novell' of Justinian belongs to the year A.D. 535 (Nov. 1), and the latest on the year A.D. 565 (Nov. 137), but most of them were published between the years 535 and 539. These Constitutiones were published after the completion of the second edition of the Code, for the purpose of supplying what was deficient in that work. Indeed, it appears that on the completion of his second edition of the new Code, the emperor designed to form many new constitutions which he might publish into a body by themselves, so as to render a third revision of the Code unnecessary, and that ...
Oath
Oath [fr. ath, Sax.], an appeal to God to witness the truth of a statement. It is called a corporal oath, where a witness, when he swears, places his right hand on the Holy Evangelists.The Christian religion, though it prohibits swearing, excepts oaths required by legal authority (Art. Ch. of Engl. xxxix.). All who believe in a God, the avenger of falsehood, have always been admitted to give evidence, but the old rule was, that all witnesses must take an oath of some kind. Very gradually, however, the legislature has relaxed this rule, and the privilege of affirming (see AFFIRMATION) instead of taking an oath has now been universally granted by the (English) Oaths Act, 1888, by which--Every person upon objection to being sworn, and stating, as the ground of such objection, either that he has no religious belief, or that the taking of an oath is contrary to his religious belief, shall be permitted to make his solemn affirmation instead of taking an oath in all places and for all purpose...

Migrated
Migrated, The word 'migrated' is capable both of a narrower meaning as well as of a wider meaning. In its narrower connotation it means going from one place to another with the intention of residing permanently in the latter place; in its wider connotation it simply means going from one place to another whether or not with any intention of permanent residence in the latter place. In Webster's dictionary (Second Edition, 1937), the word 'migrate' means 'to go from one place to another; especially to move from one country, region or place of abode or sojourn to another, with a view to residence; to move.' Corpus Juris Secundum published in 1948 gives the same meaning except that it adds one more meaning namely, 'to change one's place of residence', Kulathil Mammu v. State of Kerala, AIR 1966 SC 1614 (1616): (1966) 3 SCR 706. [Constitution of India, Art. 7]The word 'migrated' was capable of two meanings.

Merger
Merger [fr. mergo, Lat., to sink], an annihilation, by act of law, of a particular in an expectant estate consequent upon their union in the same person without an intervening estate in another person--thus accelerating into possession the expectant which swallows up the particular estate. It is the drowning of one estate in another, and differs from suspension, which is but a partial extinguishment for a time; while extinguishment, properly so termed, is the destruction of a collateral thing in the subject itself out of which it is derived. 'In order that there may be a merger, the two estates which are supposed to coalesce must be vested in the same person at the same time and in the same right' [Re Radcliffe, (1892) 1 Ch 231, per Lindley, LJ]. An estate tail, however is an exception to the rule; for a man may have in his own right both an estate tail and a reversion in fee; and the estate tail, though a less estate, will not merge in the fee, 2 Bl. Com. 177.The doctrine of merger pr...
