Piracy
Piracy [fr. pirata, Lat.], the commission of those acts of robbery and violence upon the sea, which if committed upon land wold amount to felony. Pirates hold no commission or delegated authority from any sovereign or State, empowering them to attack others. They can, therefore, be only regarded in the light of robbers. They are, as Cicero has truly stated, the common enemies of all (communes hostes omnium); and the law of nations gives to every one the right to pursue and exterminate them without any previous declaration of war (see Piracy Jure Gentium, 1934, AC 586, where a frustrated attempt was held to be piracy by that law); but it is not allowed to kill them without trial, except in battle.

By the ancient Common Law of England, piracy, if committed by a subject, was held to be a species of treason, being contrary to his natural allegiance; if by an alien, to ...
Trust for sale
Trust for sale. Trusts for sale of land were commonly crated in settlements and well-drawn wills.

Smithson, (1780) 1 Bro CC 503. Another and more practical consequence was that the whole estate was vested as a rule in the trustees so that with or without consent of any other person as directed by the donor or testator they could vest the whole estate in a purchaser without his seeing to the application of the purchase money (Trustee Act, 1893, s. 14), and without participation of beneficiaries whose consent was not required, thus providing an expedient, which, together with the Settled Land Acts and other statutes giving analogous powers to mortgagees, personal representatives ...
