Children
Children. The word child in legal documents means a legitimate child unless otherwise declared by statute. See Morris v. Britannic Assurance Co., 1931 (2) KB 125. 'Child' is defined by the (English) Children and Young Persons Act, 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5, c. 12), s. 107, as meaning, for the purposes of the Act, a person under fourteen years of age.

Ale-house
Ale-house, a place where ale with other intoxicating liquors as deemed proper by the keeper, is sold by retail to be drunk on the premises where sold. Such a house, commonly called also a public-house, has for a long time, by a series of Acts consolidated in 1828 by 9 Geo. 4, c. 61 (styled 'The (English) Alehouse Act, 1828,' by the Short Titles Act, 1896, but [and more correctly 'The (English) Intoxicating Liquors Licensing Act, 1828,' by the Licensing Act, 1872], required a license from justices of the peace as well as an excise license; whereas the houses called beer-houses, first established in 1830 by 11 Geo. 4 & 1 Wm. 4, c. 64, required an excise license only until the passing of the Wine and Beerhouse Act, 1869. See INTOXICATING LIQUORS....
Traveller
Traveller. Under the (English) Licensing (Con-solidation) Act, 1910, s. 61 (see INTOXICATING LIQUORS), intoxicating liquors were not to be sold at certain hours except to 'bon' fide travellers,' and by s. 61 (3) a person was not to be deemed a 'bona fide traveller unless the place where he lodged during the preceding night is at least three miles distant from the place where he demands to be supplied with liquor'; but although a man was not a bon' fide traveller unless he had travelled the three miles, he did not necessarily become so by merely having travelled the three miles. The expression bon' fide, which appears to owe its origin to the Scottish Forbes-Mackenzie Act (16 & 17 Vict. c. 67), seems merely intended to point the distinction between those who travel to drink, and those who drink to travel. s. 61 of the Act of 1910 was repealed by the Licensing Act, 1921. Consult Paterson's Licensing Acts.For obligation of innkeepers to entertain travellers, but travellers only, see INNKE...
