Broker
Broker [fr. broceur, Fr., a person who breaks into small pieces], (1) an agent employed to make bargains and contracts between other persons in matters of trade, commerce and navigation, by explaining the intentions of both parties, and negotiating in such a manner as to put those who employ him in a condition to treat together personally; (2) and, more commonly, an agent employed by one party only to make a binding contract with another.There are various sorts of brokers now employed in commercial affairs, whose transactions form, or may form, a distinct and independent business. Thus, for example, there are exchange and money-brokers, stock-brokers, ship-brokers, and insurance-brokers, who are respectively employed in buying and selling bills of exchange, or promissory notes, railway scrip, goods, stocks, ships, or cargoes; or in procuring freights or charter-parties.

Unbounded sugarcane
Unbounded sugarcane, it must be stated however, that neither the expression 'bonded sugarcane' nor 'unbonded sugarcane' has been defined either in the statue or in the U.P. Sugarcane Supply and Purchase Order, 1954 and, therefore, regard must be had to the ordinary dictionary meaning of the said expressions. In shorter Oxford English Dictionary the legal and technical meaning of the expression 'bond' is given as 'a deed by which the obligor binds himself, his heirs, executors, or assigns to pay a certain sum to the oblige.' In stroud's judicial Dictionary (4th Edn.) the expression 'bond' is explained as: an obligation by deed'. It will thus be clear that the expression 'bonded sugarcane' must mean sugarcane secured by a bond or deed. Under the Notification of the Cane Commissioner dated June 1, 1955 certain deductions from the minimum price per maund of cane fixed for the season 1954-55 had been notified in respect of the 'Unbonded sugarcane' crushed on or after May 1, 1955 In other wo...

Articles, Marriage, An agreement made in consideration of marriage, generally to secure a provision by conveyance or settlement for the spouses or one of them and the children of the marriage, must, under the Statute of Frauds, 29 Car. 2, c. 3, s. 4, be in writing and will not be enforced unless evidenced in writing, see Montacute v. Maxwell, 1 P Wms 618, and Butterfield v. Heath, (1852) 15 Beav 408. In equity the Articles are considered as minutes of agreement and to create executory trusts, and the Court will give effect to the intention accordingly without strict or any regard to an improper or informal use of words, see Stamford v. Hobart, (1710) 3 Br PC (Tomk. Ed) 31, and Blandford v. Marlborough, (1743) 2 Atk. 542, and therefore the rule in Shelley's Case (now abolished in regard to instruments coming into operation after 1925, see Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 131) was not applied in construing or executing the Articles. See Norton on Deeds....
