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...

Material resources
Material resources, 'Material resources' is enshrined in art. 39(b) are wide enough to cover not only natural or physical resources but also movable or immovable properties. The mere fact that the resources are material will make no difference in the concept of the word 'resources'. Black's Law Dictionary defined the word recourses thus: Money or any property that can be converted to meet needs; means of raising money or supplies; capabilities of raising wealth or to supply necessary wants. The mere fact that the resources are material will make no difference in the concept of the word recourse. In Stroud's Judicial Dictionary (Vol. 3) at page, 1634, the word material is defined thus: Materials tools or implements, to be used by such artificer in this trade or occupation, if such artificer be employed in mining; wooden props or 'sprags' though neither 'tools or implements' were 'materials' within these words. 'Material' includes a painter's bucket of distemper and brush. In Webster's T...

Workmen's Compensation Act
Workmen's Compensation Act. (English) The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, introduced the principle of compulsory insurance of workmen by employers in a restricted number of trades. The gist of a right to compensation under the Acts is 'accident arising out of and in the course of the employment' causing personal injury to a workman (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925 [15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 84), s. 1 (1)] The compensation is not damages for negligence or any other tort at common law or by statute (see COMPBELL (LORD) ACTS (Fatal Accidents Acts, 1846-1908) and Employers Liability Act, 1880, sub tit. MASTER AND SERVANT), and an employer is not liable both for damages and compensation; but the workman or his representatives may elect between the remedies, and in an unsuccessful action for damages the Court may assess or refer the question of compensation to the proper tribunal, subject to an equitable order for costs (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925, s. 25). Compensation is not payable for a...
