Innocent conveyances
Innocent conveyances, a covenant to stand seized; a bargain and sale; and release; so called because, since they convey the actual possession by construction of law only, they do not confer a larger estate in property than the person conveying possesses, and therefore, if a greater interest be conveyed by these deeds than a person has, they are only void, pro tanto, for the excess. But a feoffment of such larger estate was a tortious conveyance, and therefore, under such circumstances, would have been void altogether, and produced a forfeiture. But by the 4th section of the Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), a feoffment made after October 1st, 1845, shall not have any tortuous operation. It is, therefore, an innocent conveyance....
Opening biddings
Opening biddings. Before 1867, where estates were sold, under the decree of a Court of Equity, the Court considered itself to have a greater power over the contract than if the contract were made between party and party; and as the aim of the Court was to obtain as great a price as possible for the estate, it would open the biddings after the estate was sold, and put up the estate for sale again.But the Sale of (English) Land by Auction Act, 1867, has, by s. 7, abolished this inconvenient practice (under which biddings were opened even more than once), with an exception for cases of fraud or improper management of a sale, in which upon the application of any person interested in the land, 'the Court may either open the biddings, holding such bidder bound by his bidding, or discharge him from being the purchaser, and order the land to be resold', see Delves v. Delves, (1875) LR 20 Eq 77....
Originating summons
Originating summons, a summons without writ, returnable in the chambers of a judge of the High Court. summonses of this description are very frequently issued in the Chancery Division for the determination of particular questions arising in the administration of an estate or trust, without the administration of the whole estate or trust; for settling questions between vendors and purchasers (see VENDOR AND PURCHASER SUMMONS); for foreclosure or redemption of mortgages; for determining questions of construction of a written instrument, and for numerous other purposes; see R.S.C. 1883, Ords. LIV. LIVA., LIVB., LIVC., and LV. Et seq. If the question raised is one requiring argument it is generally adjourned into Court; if it is a simple matter the judge will determine it in Chambers. The summons may be taken out by any person interested, and is served on the persons whose rights are sought to be affected. This procedure was first established in 1883 by the Rules of that year, and has been...
Locality
Locality, the question of notifying the locality might probably arise when all the lands in a village are sought to be acquired. Otherwise the word 'locality' is a word of such indefinite import that it is difficult to conceive of any locality in any particular village being notified for acquisition. Therefore when a locality in the sense of a village or perhaps a group of villages is notified for acquisition any person interested in any land in that locality would be entitled to be heard under s. 5A, Navneet Ram Batra v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1975 SC 2144 (2146): (1975) 2 SCC 727: (1976) 1 SCR 826. [Land Acquisition Act (10 of 1894), s. 5A]...

To found an action the death must have resulted from the act, neglect, or default of the defendant against whom an action founded on such act, neglect, or default would have lain at the suit of the deceased had he not succumbed to his injuries.

The action, which is to compensate the wife, husband, parent, or child of the deceased, may be commenced by the executor or administrator, but if not instituted within six months, then any person interested may commence the proceedings.
