Argument

Argument, in reasoning, Locke observes that men ordinarily use four sorts of arguments. The first is to allege the opinions of men, whose parts and learning, eminency, power, or some other cause, have gained a name, and settled their reputation in the common esteem, with some kind of authority; this may be called argumentum ad verecundiam. The second is to require the adversary to admit what they allege as a proof, or to require a better; this he calls argumentum ad ignorantiam. The third is to press a man with consequences drawn from his own principles, concessions, or actions; this is known by the name of argumentum ad hominem. The fourth the using proofs drawn from any of the foundations of knowledge or probability; this he calls argumentum ad judicium, and he observes that it is the only one of all the four that brings true instruction with it, and advances us in our way to knowledge.Means a statement that attempts to persuade, especially, the remarks of counsel in analysing and po...


Contract, breach of, inducement of

Contract, breach of, inducement of. In the case of seamen it is by s. 236 of the (English) Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, an offence to persuade or attempt to persuade seamen or apprentices to desert or absent themselves from duty. As to whether such inducement can, apart from any statutory provision, be an actionable wrong, see Lumley v. Gye, (1853) 2 E&B 216, and Temperton v. Russell, (1893) 1 QB 715; but the principles laid down in these cases were commented on in Allen v. Flood, 1898 AC 1. An Act done by a person in contemplation or furtherance of a 'trade dispute,' q.v. as defined by the (English) Trades Disputes and Trade Unions Act,1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5, c. 22), is not actionable on the ground only that it induces some other person to break a contract of employment.

Induce

Induce, The dictionary meaning of the word 'induce' is to 'prevail on, persuade'. The gratifi-cation must have some connection or reflection, direct or indirect, in persuading the voter to vote or refrain from voting at an election. If the inducement to the voter is not caused by the pay-ment of the gratification to a third person but by the persuasion or influence (not undue influence) of such third person it will not be possible to say that the gratification had any indirect inducement to the voter. Payment of any gratification to any person to work or canvass at an election is outside the ambit of the definition. It will make little difference if the worker or the canvasser on payment of gratification promises or indulges in tall-talk of securing or procuring some votes for a particular candidate, Kalya Singh v. Genda Lal,AIR 1975 SC 1634: (1976) 1 SCC 304: (1975) 3SCR 783. [Representation of the People Act, 1951,s. 123(1)(a)]...
