Packed parcels, the name for a consignment of goods, consisting of one large parcel made up of several small ones (each bearing a different address) collected from different persons by the immediate consignor (a carrier), who unites them into one for his own profit at the expense of the railway by which they are sent, since the railway company would have been paid more for the carriage of the parcels singly than together.

Horse-racing
Horse-racing, a lawful pastime. By 13 Geo. 2, c. 19, no plates or matches at horse-races under 50l. value could be run, under penalty of 200l. to be paid by the owner of the horse or horses, and 100l. by the advertiser of the plate. This was repealed by 3 & 4 Vict. c. 5. Formerly wagers of not more than 10l. on a legal horse-race could be recovered by action, but now all wagers are void by the Gaming Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 109), and 'no better illustration can be given of a wagering contract than a bet on a horse-race', Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co., (1892) 2 QB 490, per Hawkins, J. See also RAE COURSE and GAMING.The horse-racing is a sport which primarily depends on the special ability acquired by training. It is speed and stamina of the horse, acquired by training, which matters. Jockeys are experts in the art of riding. Between two equally fast horses, a better trained jockey can touch the winning post. K.R. Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu, AIR 1996 SC 1153: (1996) 2 SCC 2...
