As to the present character of the Militia, see that title. The Reserve is further strengthened by the Territorial Army Reserve, consisting of a reserve division, and also by a body composed of owners of motor cars who are liable to military service in an emergency, and the Act has been applied to an Air Force Reserve and Auxiliary Air Force Reserve under 7 & 8 Geo. 5, c. 51, and 14 & 15 Geo. 5, c. 15, and S.R. & O. 1924 (Nos. 1212 and 1213) and 1934 (No. 592).

It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...
