Negligence, acting carelessly, a question of law or fact or of mixed fact and law, depending entirely upon the nature of a duty, which the person charged with negligence has failed to comply with or perform in the particular circumstance of each case. A very convenient classification has been formulated corresponding to the degree of negligence entailing liability measured by the degree of care undertaken or required in each case, i.e., (1) ordinary, which is the want of ordinary diligence; (2) slight, the want of great diligence; and (3) gross, the want of slight diligence. A smaller degree of negligence will render a person liable for injury to infants than in the case of adults, see Cooke v. Midland Great Western Railway, 1909 AC 229; and Glasgow Corporation v. Taylor, (1922) 1 AC 44. There is also a peculiar duty to take precaution in the case of dangerous Articles, see Dominion Natural Gas Co. v. Collins, 1909 AC 640. This case should be distinguished from the principle in Fletche...
Tobacco
Tobacco. The growth of tobacco was formerly prohibited in any part of the United Kingdom, and any person growing it was liable to a penalty of 10l. for every rood grown, recoverable by penal action. See 12 Car. 2, c. 34 (the preamble of which shows the origin of the prohibition to have been the protection and maintenance of the colonies and plantations in America, and of the commerce of this country with them); 15 Car. 2, c. 7; and the (English) Tobacco Cultivation Act, 1831 (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 13). As to Ireland the Irish Tobacco Act, 1907 (7 Edw. 7, c. 3), largely removed the restrictions as to growth, etc., and similar provision is now made for Scotland and England by the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910, which repeals the two Acts of Charles II. and the Act of 1831, and by s. 83 (5) entirely removes all prohibition or restraint on the growth, making, or curing of tobacco in England and Scotland, and to the same time imposes [s. 83 (2)] an excise duty of 5s. for a licence to grow, cultivate...

Date of such conviction
Date of such conviction, The phrase 'date of such conviction' occurring in sub-s. (2) of s. 8 of the Representation of People Act,1950 means the date of the initial conviction and not the date of the final conviction. If this phrase was construed to mean the date of the final and ultimate conviction on termination of the entire judicial process in the hierarchy of courts, sub-s. (3) would be redundant. Sub-s. (3) applies to a special category of person mentioned therein, and its language makes it clear that in their case, conviction will not operate as a disqualification unless it becomes final in the course of judicial process, Vidya Charan Shukla v. Purshottam Lal Kaushik, (1981) 2 SCC 84: AIR 1981 SC 547 (550): (1981) 2 SCR 637....
