Equity of redemption. Before 1926 the equitable estate or interest left in a person after he had mortgaged his property. Now the right to call for a reconveyance of a legal estate or of an equitable interest in property from the mortgagee on payment of principal, interest and costs. A mort-gagee, although he has become absolute owner of a legal estate in the mortgaged property, on account of the breach of the condition for repayment of the loan within the strict time, is nevertheless compelled to reconvey the legal estate to the mortgagor, who applies to redeem it, on payment of the principal, interest, and costs, Equity treating the breach of the condition as a penalty, and the retention for the mortgagee's own benefit of that which was intended simply as a pledge, as contrary to substantial justice.The right or equity of redemption is an essential attribute of a mortgage; it is inherent in the thing itself, and any provision inserted in the mortgage to defeat the right is void as a '...

Hague conference
Hague conference. A conference of representatives of different States to consider the question of international peace and kindred subjects. So called because the place of meeting has been The Hague in South Holland (Netherlands). The first Hague Conference was the outcome of a circular letter of the Czar of Russia handed to all the foreign representatives accredited to the Court of St. Petersburg on the 24th August, 1898, and as a result the first Peace Conference met on 18th May, 1899. This conference brought about the creation of a Permanent Court of Arbitration, and each of the Powers signing the Hague Arbitration Convention could appoint four persons, who constituted a panel or general list of arbitrators from which as occasion arises selection can be made. The Hague Arbitration Court has dealt with complicated international disputes. A second Peace Conference met at the Hague on 18th June, 1907.

Park
Park [fr. parcus, Lat., fr. parco, to spare], a place of privilege for wild beasts of venery, and other wild beasts of the forest and chase; who are to have a firm place and protection there, so that no man may hurt or chase them without licence of the owner. A park differs from a forest, in that, as Compton observes, a subject may hold a park by prescription or royal grant. It differs from a chase because a park must be enclosed; if it lie open, it is a good cause of seizing it into the sovereign's hands, as a free chase may be if it lie enclosed. To a park three things are required-1st, a grant thereof; 2nd, enclosure by pale, wall, or hedge; 3rd, beasts of a park, such as buck, does, etc.; see Sir Charles Howard's case, 1626 Cro Car 59; Pease v. Courtney, (1904) 2 Ch 509. The word 'park,' as used in the (English) Settled Land Acts, is not confined to an ancient legal park but includes an ordinary private park (Pease v. Courtney).Royal Parks.-As to the management of the royal parks s...
