Before the (English) Bankruptcy Act,1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. 134), 'traders' only were liable to be made bankrupts, other insolvent debtors being dealt with by a succession of Relief of Insolvent Debtors Acts.

Possession
Possession, correctly understood, means effective physical control or occupation. The word 'possession' is sometimes used inaccurately as synonymous with the right to possess, Gurucharan Singh v. Kamla Singh, (1976) 2 SCC 152.Possession, does not imply mere acts of the user, or of occupation alone, but the occupation must be with the intention of exercising some claim or right in respect of the property occupied. A person who has no claim to the property but succeeds by show of force in acquiring physical control over the same cannot be treated to be in its possession, notwith-standing his physical control over it, Ram Krishna v. Bhagwan Baksh Singh, (1961) All LJ 301.Possession, implies dominion and control and the consciousness in the mind of the person having dominion that he has it and can exercise it, Chhedi Ram v. Mahngoo Tiwari, 1969 All WR (HC) 230.Possession, in common parlance denoted to occupy, to have or hold as owner, to obtain, to maintain, Krishna Prasad Jaiswal v. Kanti...

Simpson, (1835) 1 CM&R 384, the stamp to be affixed to an unstamped document to render it admissible in evidence was not the stamp in accordance with the law at the time of affixing it, but the stamp in accordance with the law in force at the time when the document was first executed.Very important alterations in the law of stamps were effected by the Customs and Inland Revenue Act, 1888. Prior to that Act it was no offence not ...

Beer, a liquor, compounded of malt and hops. The selling of it by retail is regulated by various Acts. The (English) Licensing Act of 1828, which did not allow the sale of beer by retail except in 'alehouses,' etc., requiring a licence from justices of the peace-grantable or refusable in their absolute discretion-not being considered to afford sufficient facilities for supplying the public with beer, the (English) Beer Act of 1830 (11 Geo. 4 & 1 Wm. 4, c. 64), was passed to allow any person to retail beer upon taking out an excise licence only.This Act was amended in 1834 by 4 & 5 Wm. 4, c. 85, which drew a distinction between houses for the retail of beer to be drunk on the premises where sold-commonly called beerhouses-and houses for the retail of beer not to be drunk on the premises where sold-commonly called beershops, by requiring that the keeper of a beerhouse should obtain as a condition precedent to his excise license a certificate of good character, signed by six rate payers n...
