Labourer
Labourer, according to the dictionary meaning, this indicates a person who is engaged in the performance of unskilled labour, generally speaking. A person who is called upon to do some work which requires some amount of skill, however little that may be, is not to be regarded as a labourer, G. Venkatachalam Pillai v. Labour and Co. (Pte.) Ltd., AIR 1961 Mad 358 (359). [Limitation Act, 1908, Art. 7]Means servants in husbandry or manufactures, not living intra m'nia. Various repealed Acts of (English) Parliament (see, e.g., 5 Eliz. c. 4) have vested in the justices of the peace the power of com-pelling persons not having any visible livelihood to go out to service in husbandry, or in certain specific trades, for the promotion of honest industry. A 'labourer' is a man who digs and does other work of that kind with his hands (per Brett, M.R., Morgan v. London General Omnibus Co., (1884) 53 LJQB 352); but a farmer is not a labourer within the Sunday Observance Act, 1677 (29 Car. 2, c. 7) [R...
Magna Carta
Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed. It is generally regarded as one of the great common-law documents and as the foundation of constitution liberties. The other three great charters of English Liberty are the Petition of Right (3 Car. (1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property. The barons assembled at St.Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, in the later part of the year 1214, and there solemnly swore upon the high alter to withdraw their allegiance from the Crown, and openly rebel, unless King John confirmed by a formal charter the ancient li...

Milk for meat
Milk for meat, i.e., that the agister of cows should take their milk in exchange for their pasturage. See London and Yorkshire Bank v. Belton, (1885) 15 QBD 457, where it was held that under such an agreement the farmer is taking a 'fair price' for the grass within s. 45 of the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1883 (s. 35 of the Act of 1883), by which live stock taken in to be fed 'at a fair price' are exempted from distress for rent....
Quo minus
Quo minus, a writ which lay for him who had a grant of house-bote and hay-bote in another's woods against the grantor making such waste whereby the grantee could the less enjoy his grant, Old N.B. 148.It also lay for the King's accountant in the Exchequer against any person against whom he had a right of action, and was called a quo minus because in it the plaintiff suggested that he was the King' farmer or debtor, and that the defendant had done himthe injury or damage complained of; quo minus sufficiens existit, by which he is less able to pay the King his debt or rent; see 3 Bl. Com. 45. Afterwards this suggestion of being debtor to the King was allowed to be inserted by any plaintiff who wished to proceed in that Court against any defendant, as a mere matter of form, and in this way the Court of Exchequer obtained a jurisdiction co-extensive with that of the Common Pleas in actions personal. The writ of quo minus was abolished by 2 Wm. 4, c. 39....
