Agent
Agent, a person acting for another, whether by his express or implied authority, the general rule being, that whatever a person may do himself, that he may, as 'principal,' authorize another to do for him, and in accordance with the maxim, qui facit per alium facit per se, to fix him with the same liability in contract or tort as if he had done it himself.

During the pleasure
During the pleasure, the rule that a civil servant holds office at the pleasure of the Crown has its original in the Latin phrase 'durante bene placito' ('during pleasure') meaning that'the tenure of office of a civil servant, except where it is otherwise provide by statute, can be terminated at any time without cause assigned. The True scope and effect of this expression is that even if a special contract has been made with the civil servants the Crown is not bound thereby. In other words, civil servants are liable to dismissal without notice and there is no right of action for wrongful dismissal, that is , that they cannot claim damages for premature termination of their services, State of Bihar v. Abdul Majid, AIR 1954 SC 245 (250): 1954 SCR 786. [Constitution of India, Art. 310(1)]See also Pratap Singh v. State of Punjab, AIR 1964 SC 72....
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...
