Constable [fr. Comes stabuli, Lat., in the eastern empire a superintendent of the imperial stables, or the emperor's master of the horse, who at length obtained the command of the army], an officer to whom our law commits the duty of maintaining the peace, and bringing to justice those by whom it is infringed.Provision is made for the abolition of the office of High Constable by the (English) High Constables Act, 1869 (32 & 33 Vict. c. 67), and of that of Parish Constable by the Parish Constables Act, 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 92), which Act, however, still allows of their appointment in exceptional cases.By the (English) Municipal Corporations Act, 1882, s. 191, in all boroughs to which that Act applies, 'borough constables' are appointed by the Watch Committee, but the (English) Local Government Act,1888, has, in the case of boroughs having a population of less than 10,000 transferred the appointments to the county councils.In counties constables were appointed by the justices of the pe...

Droits of admiralty
Droits of admiralty, the perquisites attached to the office of Admiral of England (or Lord High Admiral). Prince George of Denmark, the husband of Queen Anne and Lord High Admiral, resigned the rights to these droits to the Crown for a salary, as Lord High Admiral, of 7,000l. a year. When the office was vacant, they belonged to the Crown. Of these perquisites, the most valuable is the right to the property of an enemy seized on the breaking out of hostilities. In the arrangement of the Civil List during the recent reigns, it was settled that whatever droits of Admiralty accrued were to be paid into the Exchequer for the use of the public. The Lord High Admiral's right to the tenth part of the property captured on the seas has been relinquished in favour of the captors. Droits of Admiralty also included all unclaimed wreck, flotsam, jetsam, ligan and derelict, which are now dealt with by the (English) Receiver of Wreck for the District, Merchant Shipping Act, 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. 60),...

Emblements
Emblements [fr. emblavance de bled, O. Fr. corn sprung or put above ground], the growing crops of those vegetable productions of the soil which are annually produced by the labour of the cultivator. They are deemed personal property, and pass as such to the executor or administrator of the occu-pier, whether he were the owner in fee, or for life, or for years, if he die before he has actually cut, reaped, or gathered the same; and this, although being affixed to the soil, they might for some purposes be considered, whilst growing, as part of the realty.The growing crop annually produced by labour, as opposed to a crop naturally, Black Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 540.If a tenant for life or pur autre vie die, his executor or administrator is entitled to emblements', for the estate was determined by the act of God; and it is a maxim in the law that actus Dei nemini facit injuriam. The advantages of emblements are extended to parochial clergy by 28 Hen. 8, c. 11, but a person who resigns...

Amotion
Amotion, a putting away, a removing, deprivation or ouster of possession. In municipal borough, a removal from his office of a councillor by his fellow-councillors, frequently exercised before the (English) Municipal Corporation Act, 1835, and not expressly abolished either by that Act or by the (English) Municipal Corporation Act, 1882. The power of amotion is implied or may be conferred by charter. Under the old law it has been said that offences justifying amotion must either be committed in the official character, infamous, or indictable (Kyd on Corporations); but habitual drunkenness was held a sufficient cause in Reg. v. Taylor, (1694) 3 Salk 231, where also a bye-law giving power to amove for just cause was held good; nor does there seem to be any means except amotion of getting rid of a clearly unfit councillor who refuses to resign. See Halsbury's L. of E., 2nd ed., Vol. 8, pp. 38 et seq....
