Children

Children. The word child in legal documents means a legitimate child unless otherwise declared by statute. See Morris v. Britannic Assurance Co., 1931 (2) KB 125. 'Child' is defined by the (English) Children and Young Persons Act, 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5, c. 12), s. 107, as meaning, for the purposes of the Act, a person under fourteen years of age. The (English) Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act, 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5, c. 47), makes provisions for Scotland similar to those of the corresponding English Act.Registration of Birth, and Vaccination.--It is the duty, by s. 1 of the (English) Births and Deaths Registration act, 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 88), of the father and mother of very child born alive, and in their default of other persons (see BIRTHS), to give information to the registrar within forty two days; the (English) Public Health Act, 1936, ss. 2 and 3, provides for compulsory notification of births to the Medical Officer of Health (see BIRTHS), and the child must be vaccinat...

But not thereafter

But not thereafter, As far as the language of s. 34 of the 1996 Act is concerned, the crucial words are 'but not thereafter' used in the proviso to sub-s. (3). This phrase would amount to an express exclusion within the meaning of s. 29(2) of the Limitation Act, and would therefore bar the application of s. 5 of that Act. To hold that the court could entertain an application to set aside the award beyond the extended period under the proviso, would render the phrase 'but not thereafter' wholly otiose, Union of India v. Popular Construction, (2001) 8 SCC 470. [Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, s. 34(3)]...

Traveller

Traveller. Under the (English) Licensing (Con-solidation) Act, 1910, s. 61 (see INTOXICATING LIQUORS), intoxicating liquors were not to be sold at certain hours except to 'bon' fide travellers,' and by s. 61 (3) a person was not to be deemed a 'bona fide traveller unless the place where he lodged during the preceding night is at least three miles distant from the place where he demands to be supplied with liquor'; but although a man was not a bon' fide traveller unless he had travelled the three miles, he did not necessarily become so by merely having travelled the three miles. The expression bon' fide, which appears to owe its origin to the Scottish Forbes-Mackenzie Act (16 & 17 Vict. c. 67), seems merely intended to point the distinction between those who travel to drink, and those who drink to travel. s. 61 of the Act of 1910 was repealed by the Licensing Act, 1921. Consult Paterson's Licensing Acts.For obligation of innkeepers to entertain travellers, but travellers only, see INNKE...
