Marriage
Marriage. Marriage as understood in Christendom is the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others, Hyde v. Hyde, 1866 LR 1 P&D 130. Where a marriage in a foreign country complies with these requirements it is immaterial that under the local law dissolution can be obtained by mutual consent or at the will of either party with merely formal conditions of official registration, and it constitutes a valid marriage according to English law, Nachimson v. Nachimson, 1930, P. 217. Previous to 1753 the validity of marriage was regulated by ecclesiastical law, not touched by any statutory nullity but modified by the Common law Courts, which sometimes interfered with the Ecclesiastical Courts, by prohibition, sometimes themselves decide on the validity of a marriage, presuming a marriage in fact as opposed to lawful marriage. A religious ceremony by an ordained clergyman was essential to a lawful marriage, at all events for dower and heirship; but if in an i...
Intoxicating liquor
Intoxicating liquor, the word 'intoxicating liquor' is not confined to potable liquor alone but would include all liquor which contain alcohol. Liquor should not only cover alcoholic liquor which is generally used for beverage purposes wand produce intoxication but would also include liquids containing alcohol, State of U.P. v. Synthetics and Chemicals Ltd., AIR 1980 SC 614: (1980) 2 SCR 531: (1980) 2 SCC 441. [Constitution of India, List II, 7th Sch., Entry 8]See also Synthetics and Chemicals Ltd. v. State of Uttar Pradesh, (1990) 1 SCC 109.Intoxicating liquors. The sale of intoxicating liquors by retail in England and Wales is now mainly regulated by the Licensing (Consolidation) Act, 1910 (10 Edw. 7 & 1 Geo. 5, c. 24), which repealed (see Sched. VII.) the whole or part of thirteen earlier Acts. The effect of this statute is shortly as follows:-1. Grant of Licence.--Defining 'intoxicating liquor' as meaning 'spirits, wine, beer, porter, cider, perry, and sweets, and any fermented, di...
Defeasance (defeasance)
Defeasance (defeasance) [fr. defaire, Fr., to undo], a collateral deed accompanying another, providing that upon the performance of certain matters an estate or interest created by such other deed shall be defeated and determined.A defeasance should recite the deed to be defeated and its date, and must be made between the same parties as are interested in the recited deed or their representatives, and with the same formalities as the deed which created the estate to be defeated; it must be of a thing defeasible, and all the conditions must be strictly performed before the defeazance can be consummated.So long as it was the law that a condition in a lease not to alien without license was determined by the first license granted [Dumpor's case, (1603) 1 Sm. L. C.], a defeazane was frequently adopted in order to revive the condition, and so virtually to limit the license to the particular assignment, but the (English) Law of Property Amendment Act, 1859 (22 & 23 Vict. c. 35), replaced by t...
Beer
Beer, a liquor, compounded of malt and hops. The selling of it by retail is regulated by various Acts. The (English) Licensing Act of 1828, which did not allow the sale of beer by retail except in 'alehouses,' etc., requiring a licence from justices of the peace-grantable or refusable in their absolute discretion-not being considered to afford sufficient facilities for supplying the public with beer, the (English) Beer Act of 1830 (11 Geo. 4 & 1 Wm. 4, c. 64), was passed to allow any person to retail beer upon taking out an excise licence only.This Act was amended in 1834 by 4 & 5 Wm. 4, c. 85, which drew a distinction between houses for the retail of beer to be drunk on the premises where sold-commonly called beerhouses-and houses for the retail of beer not to be drunk on the premises where sold-commonly called beershops, by requiring that the keeper of a beerhouse should obtain as a condition precedent to his excise license a certificate of good character, signed by six rate payers n...
Sessions of the peace
Sessions of the peace, sittings of justices of the peace for the execution of those powers which are confided to them by their commission, or by charter, and by numerous statutes. They are of three descriptions:-I. Petty Sessions.--Metropolitan Police magistrates can act alone (see that title), with that exception, every meeting of two or more justices in the same place, for the execution of some power vested in them by law, whether had on their own mere motion, or on the requisition of any party entitled to require their attendance in discharge of some duty, is a petty or petit session. The occasions for holding petty sessions are very numerous, amongst the most important of which is the bailing persons accused of felony, which may be done after a full hearing of evidence on both sides, where the presumption of guilt shall either be weak in itself, or weakened by the proofs adduced on behalf of the prisoner. See PETTY SESSIONS.As to right of the public to attend petty sessions, see OP...
Populous place
Populous place, was defined by s. 32 of the (English) Licensing Act, 1874, as 'any area with a population of not less than 1,000 which by reason of the density of such population the county licensing committee may by order determine to be a populous place.' By s. 3 of this Act the closing hours were made different in towns and 'populous places' from those (1) in London and (2) elsewhere that in London or in towns and populous places. The above definition was repealed and substantially re-enacted by (English) Licensing (Consolidation) Act, 1910, but was repealed by the Licensing Act, 1921. A 'populous place' no longer exists in licensing law....
