Consent
Consent, an act of reason accompanied with delib-erations, the mind weighing, as in a balance, the good or evil on either side. Consent supposes three things-a physical power, a mental power, and a free and serious use of them. Hence it is that if consent be obtained by intimidation, force, meditated impositions, circumvention, surprise, or undue influence, it is to be treated as a delusion, and not as a deliberate and free act of the mind. In relation to Criminal Law, see (English) Criminal Law Amendment Acts, 1885-1922, and see AGE; ABDUCTION.The word 'consent' as used in s. 30(2) of the Sale of Goods Act means 'agreeing on the same thing in the same sense' as defined in s. 13 of the Indian Contract Act.

Education
Education. Mr. Forster's Elementary Education Act, 1870 (English) (33 & 34 Vict. c. 75), is the starting point in the history of the provision by legislation of a general system of education. Before this date education had been dealt with either as a series of individual problems in respect of which provisions were made for the education of special classes of persons, or by executive, as opposed to legislative methods, as, for example, by a system of grants in aid. This Act was followed by a series of Acts, known collectively as the Education Acts, 1870 to 1919, which together established a system of free and compulsory elementary education of a non-denominational character. The initial Act established 'school boards' with powers of building and maintaining elementary schools and of regulating the attendance of school children between the ages of 5 and 13. The El. Ed. Act, 1876, declared 'the duty of the parent of every child to cause such child to receive efficient elementary educatio...
