Plate
Plate, of gold and silver. The duties were repealed by the (English) Customs and Inland Revenue Act, 1890, s. 10. The hall-marking of foreign plate is prescribed by ss. 59, 60 of the (English) Customs Act, 1842, as amended by the Hall-marking of Foreign Plate Act, 1904 (4 Edw. 7, c. 6), which directs that foreign plate when brought to be assayed and stamped, as it has to be by revenue law, must be marked so as to distinguish it as foreign, and that every person bringing it to an assay office, unless it be in charge of a revenue officer, must state in writing whether it was bought in England, Scotland, or Ireland, or was imported from foreign parts. Watch-cases imported from foreign parts before 1st June, 1907, are exempted from assay by the Assay of Imported Watch-Cases (Existing Stocks Exemption) Act, 1907. As to the meaning of 'plate' in ss. 2, 6 of the Plate (Offences) Act, 1738, and other statutes, see Faberge v. Goldsmiths' Co., (1911) 1 Ch 286. Gold watches which are jewelled and...
Simony
Simony, ['payment for things spiritual'] the corrupt presentation of, or the corrupt agreement to present any one to an ecclesiastical benefice for reward. It is derived from Simon Magus, who offered money to the Apostles for the power to work miracles (Acts viii. 18-24). It is an offence by statute 31 Eliz. c. 6, which by s. 5, 'for the avoiding of simony,' directs that the corrupt presentation shall be void, and the presentation shall go to the Crown, and the Clerical Subscription Act, 1865 (28 & 29 Vict. c. 122), required a declaration against simony to be subscribed by every person about to be instituted or collated to any benefice or to be licensed to any perpetual curacy, lectureship, or preachership. This declaration, which was only to the effect that the declarant had not been party to any contract to the best of his knowledge simoaniacal, is now superseded by a far more effective and specific declaration scheduled to the Benefices Act, 1898 (61 & 62 Vict. c. 48), which declara...
Right of suit and right of appeal
Right of suit and right of appeal, there is an inherent right in every person to bring a suit of a civil nature and unless the suit is barred by statute one may, at one's peril, bring a suit of one's choice. It is no answer to a suit, howsoever frivolous to claim, that the law confers no such right to sue. A suit for its maintainability requires no authority of law and it is enough that no statute bars the suit. But the position in regard to appeals is quite the opposite. The right of appeal inheres in no one and therefore an appeal for its maintainability must have the clear authority of law. That explains why the right of appeal is described as a creature of statute, Ganga Bai v. Vijay Kumar, AIR 1974 SC 1126: (1974) 2 SCC 393: (1974) 3 SCR 882....
