Uses
Uses (History). A use is the intention or purpose, express or implied, upon which property is to be held. The Common Law treated the actual possessor for all purposes as the owner of the property. It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...

Act
Act, Something done or performed especially voluntarily; a deed, Black's law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 24.Is used with reference to an offence or a civil wrong, shall include a series of acts, and words which refer to act done extend also to illegal omissions. [General Clauses Act, 1897 (10 of 1897), s. 3 (2)]The term act is one of the ambiguous import, being used in various senses of different degrees of generation. When it is said, however, that an act is one of the essential conditions of liability. We use the term in the widest sense of which it is capable. We mean by it any event which is subject to the control of the human will. Such a definition is, indeed, not ultimate, but it is sufficient for the purpose of the law. John Salmond, Jurisprudence 367; Glanville L. Williams, 10th Edn. 1947.Act does not mean depose, Janki Vashdeo Bhojwani v. Indusind Bank Ltd., AIR 2005 SC 439.In view of the provisions of the General Clauses Act, the expression 'act also includes illegal omissions,...
Actor
Actor, a doer, generally a plaintiff or complainant. In a civil or private action the plaintiff was called by the Romans petitor; in a public action (causa publica) he was called accusator. (Cic. Ad. Att. 1. 16.) The defendant was called reus, both in private and public causes; this term, however, according to Cicero (de Orat. Ii. 43), might signify either party, as indeed we might conclude from the word itself. In a private action the defendant was often called adversarius, but either party might be called so with respect to the other. Also a proctor or advocate in civil Courts or causes. Actor dominicus, a term often used for the lord's bailiff or attorney. Actor ecclesi' was sometimes the forensic term for the advocate or pleading patron of a church. Actor vill' was the steward or head bailiff of a town or village, Cowel.Actor is one who acts; a person whose conduct is in question, Black Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 35....
Arable land
Arable land. The Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923 (13 & 14 Geo. 5, c. 9), s. 30, allows freedom of cropping of arable land, which expression 'shall not include land in grass, which by the terms of any contract of tenancy is to be retained in the same condition throughout the tenancy.''Arable land' is meant not only land capable of cultivation but also actually cultivated. It is not arable not because it is cultivated but because it is something else such as waste, pasture, ancient meadow etc. Indeed the fact that the land is actually cultivated demonstrates its nature as arable-land, Ishvarlal Girdharilal Jushi v. State of Gujarat, AIR 1968 SC 870 (880): (1968) 2 SCR 267. [Land Acquisition Act, 1894, s. 17(1)]According to the Oxford Dictionary 'arable land' is 'land which is capable of being ploughed or fit for village'. In the context of s. 17(1) of the Act the expression must be construed to mean 'lands which are mainly used for ploughing and for raising crops', Raja Anand Brahmo Slah...
Brehon Law
Brehon Law, the law by which Ireland was governed at the time of its conquest by Henry II.; 'a rule of right, unwritten but delivered by tradition from one to another, in which often times there appeared great show of equity in determining the right between party and party, but in many things repugnant quite, both to God's laws and man's.' This law was formally abolished by 40 Edw. 3, it being unanimously declared to be indeed no law, but a lewd custom crept in of later times. See 1 Bl. Com. 100; Edm. Spenser's State of Ireland, 1513, edit. Hughes; Hale's Hist. 217....
Broken rice
Broken rice, it includes 'broken rice as part of rice'. But, to hold that this meant that 'broken rice' must include whole rice is to accept that part includes the whole. If the whole includes a part, it necessarily means that the part cannot possibly be equated with the whole. The natural, and, indeed, the only reasonably open logic would be: if the whole includes a part, nothing which is merely a part of the whole could be equated with the whole, State of Andhra Pradesh v. Bathu Prakasa Rao, (1976) 3 SCC 301 (307): AIR 1976 SC 1845: 1976 Supp SCR 608....
