Army (UK)
Army (UK) [fr. armee, Fr.], the military force of a country. From1689 to 1879, the army was regulated by Annual Mutiny Acts usually expiring in April, and by the 'Articles of War' which those Acts empowered the sovereign to make. In 1879 the Army Discipline Act (42 & 43 Vict. c. 33) consolidated the provisions of the Mutiny Act with the Articles of War. This Act having been amended by the Army Discipline and Regulation Annual Act, 1881, which substituted 'summary' for corporal punishment, and also by the Regulation of the Forces Act, 1881, a fairly complete military code is now contained in the 'Army Act, 1881' (44 & 45 Vict. c. 58), now styled the 'Army Act' simply, by virtue of s. 4 of the Army (Annual) Act, 1890.The Army Act requires to be annually renewed by an Act passed for that purpose called the 'Army (Annual) Act.' Such annual Act follows the precedent of the Mutiny Acts is reciting the illegality of a standing army in time of peace without consent of Parliament (as declared b...
Nuncupative Will
Nuncupative Will, a verbal testament depending merely upon oral evidence, being declared by the testator in extremis before a sufficient number of witnesses and after wards reduced to writing, 2 Bl. Com. 500.The (English) Statute of Frauds, 29, Car. 2, c. 3, restricted nuncupative wills, except when made by mariners at sea, and soldiers in actual service. Nuncupative wills are abolished by the (English) Wills Act, 1837, s. 9, but with a proviso by s. 11 that any soldier being in actual military service, or any marine or seaman being at sea, may dispose of his personal estate, as he might have done before the making of this Act. A will made by a soldier under s. 11 accordingly requires no attestation, and s. 15, avoiding gifts to attesting witnesses, has no application to such a will [Re Limond, (1915) 2 Ch 240]. The Wills (Soldiers and Sailors) Act, 1918, slightly enlarges the class of persons to whom s. 11 applies (s. 2), and extends the right to make wills, without the formalities re...
