Child-bearing
Child-bearing. The English law admits of no presumption as to the time when a woman ceases to bear children, though this enters into most other codes, and the practice of the Courts in treating women of a certain age as past child-bearing is not a rule of law but is a mere rule of convenience in the administration fo estates; there is no legal impossibility in a woman 100 years old bearing a child; see Farwell on Powers, p. 295 and cases there referred to; Co. Litt. 40 b. The possibility of bearing a child after the age of fifty-four was recognized by the Court of Appeal in Corxton v. May, (1878) 9 Ch D 388, in a case where the woman had been married only three years....
Fairs
Fairs [fr. foire, Fr.; forum nundin', Lat.]. these institutions are very closely allied to markets. A fair is a greater species of market, recurring at more distant intervals. No fair can be held without a grant from the Crown, or a prescription which supposes such grant. Before a patent is granted it is usual to have a writ of ad quod damnum executed and returned, that it may not be issued to the prejudice of another fair or market already existing. The grant usually contains a clause that it shall not be to the hurt of another fair or market; but this clause, if omitted, would be implied; for if the franchise occasion damage, either to the Crown or a subject, in any respect, it will be revoked; and a person whose ancient title is prejudiced is entitled to have a scire facias in the King's name to repeal the letters-patent. If His Majesty grant power to hold a fair or market in a particular place, the lieges can resort to no other, even though it be inconvenient. But if no place be ap...
Irish and Scots Courts' Judgments
Irish and Scots Courts' Judgments. As regards Northern Ireland and Scottish judgments, a judg-ment of a Superior Court of Northern Ireland or Scotland is enforceable after registration of a certificate thereof by the High Court of Justice in England, under the Judgments Extension Act, 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 54 (preserved by Judic. Act, 1925, s. 224); and a judgment of an inferior Court is similarly enforceable by an English county Court, under the Inferior Courts Judgments Extension Act, 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 31). Irish Free State judgments of the Courts may not be so enforced under the Judgments Extension Act, 1868, since references to 'Ireland' in any enactment passed before the establishment of the Irish Free State to the United Kingdom or to Ireland are in the application of that enactment in Great Britain or Northern Ireland to be construed as exclusive of the Irish Free State (see Stat. R. & O. 1923, No. 405, Art. 2). The Act of 1868 applies only to debt, damages and costs, but ...
