Breach of trust
Breach of trust, a violation of duty by a trustee, executor, or other person in a fiduciary position.In some cases a breach of trust may be a comparatively venial offence, arising from the trustee having honestly misconstrued the deed or will creating the trust either as to the persons entitled, or as to his powers of investment of or dealing with the trust property, or having otherwise erred in the discharge of his strict duty; in other cases he may have been guilty of negligence or carelessness involving at least some degree of moral blame; or, in other cases again, he may have committed some gross fraud. But in all these cases alike the trustee is personally responsible at the suit of the beneficiaries for any loss which may have resulted, and the rules of equity on the subject were extremely strict and were enforced with great severity by the Court of Chancery.

Mere annoyance or insult is not enough; thus at common law a householder could not give a man into custody for violently and persistently ringing his door-bell. It is the particular duty of a Magistrate or Police Officer to preserve the peace unbroken, hence if he has reasonable cause to believe that a breach of the peace is imminent he may be justified in committing an assault or effecting an arrest; R.F.V. Heuston, Salmond on the Law of Torts, 131 (17th Edn., 1977).Means a disturbance of public peace order, Webster's Dictionary of Law, Indian Edn.
