Home Dictionary Name: femaleIn the son or daughter of such a female
In the son or daughter of such a female, even in the absence of the words which were inserted by the Amendment Act of 1964 in s. 15(2)(b) the only possible interpretation and meaning of the words 'in the son or daughter of such female' could have reference to and cover the son or daughter of the husband of the female. The entire scheme of sub-s. (2) of s. 15 is that the right of pre-emption has been confined to the issues of the last male holder from whom the property which has been sold came by inheritance. Looking at clause (a) of sub-s. (2) where the property which has been sold has come to the female from her father or brother by succession the right of pre-emption has been given to her brother or brother's son. If the son or daughter of the female who has sold the property could refer to her son or daughter from a husband other than the one from whom the property devolved on her, it would be contrary to the scheme and purpose of sub-s. (2) which essentially is to vest the right of...

Inheritance
Inheritance, or hereditary succession, is the title whereby a man, on the death of his ancestor, acquires his estate by right of representation as his heir t law.The 'canons of inheritance' are the rules directing the descent of real property throughout the lineal and collateral consanguinity of the owner dying intestate.These rules have been abolished in the case of deaths after January 1st, 1926, with a few exceptions (see HEIR), by the (English) Administration of Estates Act, 1925, s. 51, but they still affect the devolution before 1926 of all titles to estates of inheritance.Inheritance Act.--The Inheritance Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 106), materially altered the old canons of real property descent, but because the Act does not extend to any descent which took place on the death of any person who died before the 1st of January, 1834, it is deemed expedient to give both old and new:-Old Canons.--The old Canons, which obtain in cases of ancestors dying before the 1st of January, 1834...

Age
Age, the criminal responsibility of males and females, and their power to do certain acts, depends upon their age. A child under 7 cannot commit any offence; between the ages of 7 and 14 is presumed to be doli incapax, but this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of the infant's capacity to discern good from evil (malitia supplet 'tatem-malice supplies age). The old rule in criminal matters was that a person of the age of 14 might be capitally punished for any capital offence, but under the age of 7 he could not. A male under the age of 14 years is presumed impotent as well as doli incapax, and since the presumption of impotence cannot be rebutted, R. v. Phillips, 8 C& P 736, he cannot be convicted of an offence involving carnal knowledge, except as a principal in the second degree in a rape, or the like, where if he has a mischievous discretion, the presumption of impotence will not excuse him from aiding and assisting in the commission of the offence. He may, it seems, be convict...
