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 s. 61 of the Act of 1910 was repealed by the Licensing Act, 1921.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...

Period of not less than
Period of not less than, on the plain reading of the proviso to Rule 1(v), Second Schedule to the Act it is clear that in order to claim benefit of the said provision the borrowed money has to be repaid during the period of more than seven years. The only interpretation which can be given to the expression 'during a period of not less than seven years' is that the said period should go beyond seven years. The reasoning is simple. The period of seven years would not complete till the last 'minute' or even the last 'second' of the said period are counted. In other words till the last minute of the seven years period is completed the period remains less than seven years, C.I.T. v. Braithwaite & Co. Ltd., (1993) 2 SCC 262: (1993) 2 SCR 187....

Shiv Rani, AIR 1981 SC 1284 (1291): (1981) 2 SCC 535....
More or less
More or less (sive plus siveminus). These words in a contract, which rests in fieri, will only excuse a very small deficiency in the quantity of an estate; for if there be a considerable deficiency, the purchaser will be entitled to an abatement; see Crossv. Eglin, (1831) 2 B. & Ad. 106. The words are inconstant use in describing the parcels in a conveyance, but the cases do not seem to define their precise effect....
Magna Carta
Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed. It is generally regarded as one of the great common-law documents and as the foundation of constitution liberties. The other three great charters of English Liberty are the Petition of Right (3 Car. (1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property.
