Dentist
Dentist. The (English) Medical Act, 1858 (21 & 22 Vict. c. 90), s. 48, enabled Her Majesty, by charter, to grant to the Royal College of Surgeons of England power to institute examinations, etc., for dentists, and the Dentists Act, 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. c. 33), provides for the registration of dentists. The (English) Dentists Act, 1921 (11 & 12 Geo. 5, c. 21), provides that no person, unless registered under the Act of 1878, shall practise or hold himself out, whether directly or by implication, as practising or as being prepared to practise dentistry under a penalty not exceeding 100l. Certain persons are, however, allowed to make extractions where no registered person is available. The Act establishes a Dental Board, who may admit, in addition to those admissible under s. 6 of the principal Act, any person of good character over 23 years of age on 28th July, 1921, who (1) had for any five years since July, 1914, been practising dentistry in the United Kingdom, or, if a chemist, was in ...

Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English)
Increase of Rent and Mortgage (Restrictions) Acts (English). A series of statutes, each of a temporary character, curtailing the contractual rights, in respect of certain classes of property, of landlords and mortgagees. This legislation was rendered necessary, in the first instance, by the conditions caused by the outbreak of the Great War. The continuance of the protection to tenants and mortgagees of dwelling-houses afforded by the later Acts was made necessary by the housing shortage, caused principally by the economic effects of the war. The Courts (Emergency Powers) Act,1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 78), was the first of such Acts: it restricted the right to levy distress or resume possession of property by landlords and of mortgagees to foreclose or realize their security. This Act was followed by a series of complicated statutes which imposed restrictions on increasing the rent and mortgage interest on properties falling within their scope. the obscure and ambiguous drafting of these ...
