Bastard
Bastard [fornication], one born not of lawful marriage. [(English) Age of Marriage Act, 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. 5, c. 36)]The civil and canon laws did not allow a child to remain a bastard if the parents afterwards intermarried, but a proposal by the bishops to assimilate the law of England to the canon law in this respect was rejected by Parliament in 1235. See MERTON, STATUTE OF. The law of England remained thus for nearly 700 years, until the Legitimacy Act, 1926 (16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 60), legitimated a child born out of wedlock upon the subsequent marriage of parents if they were domiciled in England or Wales at the date of marriage. See LEGITIMATION. In Scotland, however, and in most other Christian countries, including most, if not all, of the British Dominions, and most, if not all, of the United States of America, legitimation of the children has always followed the intermarriage of the parents.The mother of a bastard cannot validly contract with another person for the transfer to tha...
Inheritance
Inheritance, or hereditary succession, is the title whereby a man, on the death of his ancestor, acquires his estate by right of representation as his heir t law.The 'canons of inheritance' are the rules directing the descent of real property throughout the lineal and collateral consanguinity of the owner dying intestate.These rules have been abolished in the case of deaths after January 1st, 1926, with a few exceptions (see HEIR), by the (English) Administration of Estates Act, 1925, s. 51, but they still affect the devolution before 1926 of all titles to estates of inheritance.Inheritance Act.--The Inheritance Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 106), materially altered the old canons of real property descent, but because the Act does not extend to any descent which took place on the death of any person who died before the 1st of January, 1834, it is deemed expedient to give both old and new:-Old Canons.--The old Canons, which obtain in cases of ancestors dying before the 1st of January, 1834...
Salic, or Salique
Salic, or Salique [lex salica, Lat.], an ancient and fundamental law of the kingdom of France, usually supposed to have been made by Pharamond, or at least by Clovis, in virtue of which males only are to reign.It is a popular error to suppose that the Salic law was established purely on account of the succession of the Crown, since it extended to private persons as much as to the royal family.The Salic law had not in view a preference of one sex to the other, much less had it a regard to the perpetuity of a family, a name, or the succession of land. It was purely a law of economy which gave the house, and the land dependent on the house, to the males who should dwell in it, and to whom it consequently was of more service.In proof of this, the title of allodial lands of the Salic law may be thus stated:-(1) If a man die without issue, his father or mother shall succeed him.(2) If he have neither father nor mother, his brother or sister.(3) If he have neither brother nor sister, the sist...
C'sarian operation
C'sarian operation [fr. C'sar, or rather C'so, the first of that name, who was cut out of his mother's womb], a surgical operation whereby the f'tus is taken from the mother, with a view to save the lives of both or either of them. Consult Tayl. Med. Jur.If this operation be performed after the mother's death, the husband cannot be tenant by the curtesy; since his right begins from the birth of the issue, and is consummated by the death of the wife; but if mother and child are saved, then the husband would be entitled after her death....

Derivative settlement
Derivative settlement, in Poor Law that settlement (see SETTLEMENT) which a poor person may acquire from his parent's settlement. The (English) Poor Law Act, 1930 (20 Geo. 5, c. 17), s. 85, enacts:-(1) Until a person acquires a settlement of his own or derives a settlement from a husband, that person-(a) if a legitimate child, shall take and follow, up to the age of sixteen, the settlement of his father, or if and so long as his father has no settlement, the settlement which his mother had immediately before her marriage to his father, but if after the death of the father the mother acquires a settlement (not being a derivative settlement) shall take and follow, up to the age of sixteen, that settlement;(b) if an illegitimate child, shall take and follow, up to the age of sixteen, the settlement of his mother;and shall in either case retain that settlement which under the forgoing provisions of the section he had at the age of sixteen.(2) Deals with the settlement of a married woman.(3...
