Factor
Factor [fr. facteur, Fr.], a substitute in mercantile affairs; an agent employed to sell goods or merchandise consigned or delivered to him by or for his principal, for a compensation commonly called factorage or commission. Hence he is often called a commission-merchant or consignee; and the goods received by him for sale are called a consignment. He is a home factor when he resides in the same state or country with his principal, and a foreign factor when he resides in a different state or country. He differs from a broker in this, and he may buy and sell in his own name, and is entrusted with the possession and disposal of the goods, and has a special property in, and a lien on, them; yet neither can delegate his authority, unless conferred by usages of trade or the assent of his principal. Factors have no incidental authority to barter goods, or to pledge them for advances made to them on their own account, or debts due by themselves; but they may pledge them for advances made on a...

Maritime law
Maritime law, the law relating to harbours, ships, and seamen. An important branch of the commercial law of maritime nations; divided into a variety of departments, such as those about harbours, property of ships, duties and rights of masters and seamen, contracts of affreightment, average salvage, etc. No system or code of maritime law has ever been issued by authority in Great Britain. The laws and practices that now obtain amongst us have been founded on the practice of merchants, the principles of the Civil Law, the laws of Oleron and Wisby the works of juris-consults, the judicial decisions of our own and foreign countries, etc. though still susceptible of amendment, our system corresponds more nearly than any other system of maritime law with those universally recognised principles of justice and general convenience on which merchants and navigators should act.The decisions of Lord Mansfield did much to fix the principles and to improve and perfect the maritime law of England. It...
Navigation acts
Navigation acts, restricting the import or export of goods except in British bottoms, i.e., in ships the owners of which and the large proportion of the crews of which were British, were various enactments passed for the protection of British shipping and commerce as against foreign countries. The first 'Navigation Act' was passed during the Commonwealth, in 1651, to restrain the competition of the Dutch marine, and its restrictions were repeated in 1660 by 12 Car. 2, c. 18, sometimes styled the 'Charta Maritima,' but earlier Acts of the same nature (see, e.g., 5 Rich. 2, stat. 1, c. 3) had been passed in the reigns of Richard the Second, Henry the Seventh, and Elizabeth. All the Navigation Acts were repealed in 1849. See Pulling's Shipping Code....
Sanctuary
Sanctuary, privilege of, existed in England from a period commencing soon after the conversion of the Saxons to Christianity. Its effect was that a person accused of any crime except treason or sacrilege might by flying to any church or churchyard, or even to certain other places in Westminster, Wells, Norwich, or York, or in London to Whitefriars or the Savoy, within forty days, on confession and taking oath of abjuration of the realm (see ABJURATION), escape to a foreign country, under the disability of not being able to return without the royal licence. If arrested during the forty days, he might put in the plea of Sanctuary. The privilege extended to civil as well as criminal process, but was attended by attainder of blood and forfeiture of goods.Sanctuary and abjuration were abolished in 1625 by 21 Jac.1, c. 21, after having been restricted by 26 Hen. 8, c. 13, 27 Hen. 8, c. 19, and 39 Hen. 8, c. 12.Means an area declared as a sanctuary by notification under the provisions of Chap...
