Bastard
Bastard [fornication], one born not of lawful marriage. [(English) Age of Marriage Act, 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. 5, c. 36)]The civil and canon laws did not allow a child to remain a bastard if the parents afterwards intermarried, but a proposal by the bishops to assimilate the law of England to the canon law in this respect was rejected by Parliament in 1235. See MERTON, STATUTE OF. The law of England remained thus for nearly 700 years, until the Legitimacy Act, 1926 (16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 60), legitimated a child born out of wedlock upon the subsequent marriage of parents if they were domiciled in England or Wales at the date of marriage. See LEGITIMATION. In Scotland, however, and in most other Christian countries, including most, if not all, of the British Dominions, and most, if not all, of the United States of America, legitimation of the children has always followed the intermarriage of the parents.The mother of a bastard cannot validly contract with another person for the transfer to tha...

Debt
Debt [fr. debitum, Lat.], a sum of money due from one person to another. An action of debt lay where a person claimed the recovery of a liquidated or certain sum of money affirmed to be due to him; and it was generally founded on some contract alleged to have taken place between the parties, or on some matter of fact from which the law would imply a contract between them. This was debt in the debet, which was the principal and only common form. There is another species mentioned in the books, called debt in the detinet, which lay for the specific recovery of goods, under a contract to deliver them. An action of debt as a technical term is now obsolete. See PLEADINGS.

Funeral expenses, which in the case of an insolvent estate must be strictly reasonable and necessary only, the executor or administrator being personally liabl...

Emphyteusis
Emphyteusis, the jus emphyteuticarium, or as it is more generally called, emphyteusis, was the right of enjoying all the fruits, and disposing at pleasure of the property of another, subject to the payment of a yearly rent (pensio or canon) to the owner. Formerly the lands of the Roman municipalities, or of the college of priests, used to be let for different terms of years, sometimes for a short term, such as five years, sometimes for a term amounting almost to a perpetuity, under the name of agri vectigales (Gai. iii. 145). Afterwards the lands of private individuals were let in a similar manner, and were also comprehended under the term agri vectigales. The emperors let their patrimonial lands in a similar way, and these lands so let were termed emphyteuticarii (C. xi. 58, 61), a name arising from there being a new ownership, or what almost amounted to an ownership, engrafted on the real dominion. Either shortly before or in the time of Justinian, the two rights, that of the ager ve...
