Satisfaction
Satisfaction, legal compensation; the recompense for an injury done, or the payment of money due and owing. See ACCORD.The giving of something with the intention, express or implied, that it is to extinguish some existing legal or moral obligation, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1343.The doctrine of satisfaction of legacies, portions, and debts means the gift of a thing with the intention, either expressed or implied, that it is to be taken either wholly or partly in extinguishment of some prior claim or demand. Of course, it is open to a donor expressly to provide that his subsequent gift shall be a satisfaction of a prior demand, so as to prevent such donee from claiming both. With regard to implied or presumable satisfactions, they have been divided in to the three following classes:-(1) The satisfaction of legacies by portions, otherwise called the ademption of legacies. Upon this subject Lord Eldon laid down in Ex parte Pye, (1811) 18 Ves. 140; 2 W. & T.L.C., that 'where a p...
Copyhold
Copyhold. Tenure in copyhold has been abolished under the (English) L.P. Acts, 1922 and 1925, and the Amending Acts of 1924 and 1926, but the greater part of the former title on this subject has been retained verbatim in view of the importance of the subject in examining titles. In the previous edition of this work, copyhold was described as a base tenure founded upon immemorial custom and usage; its origin is undiscoverable, but it is said to be the ancient villeinage modified and changed by the commutation of base services into specified rents, either in money or money's worth.A copyhold estate is a parcel of the demesnes of a manor held at the lord's will, and according to the custom of such manor. The tenant may have the same quantities of interest in this tenure as he may enjoy in freeholds, as an estate in fee-simple or (by particular custom) fee-tail, or for life, and he may have only a chattel interest of an estate for years in it. By the custom of some manors, the estate devol...
Welsh mortgage
Welsh mortgage (now rare), a conveyance of an estate redeemable at anytime by the mortgagor, on payment of the loan; the rents and profits of the estate being received in the meantime by the mortgagee, in satisfaction of interest subject, however, to an account in Chancery. There is no covenant for the repayment of the loan, and the mortgagee cannot compel either redemption or foreclosure. A Welsh mortgage differs from a vivum vadium or vifgage, which is a conveyance of property to the creditor and his heirs, until out of the rents and profits of the estate he has satisfied the debt with interests; it was so called because either debt nor estate was lost. The distinction between these securities is, that in the vifgage the profits are applied in the periodical reduction of the debt, while in the Welsh mortgage they are applied in satisfaction of the interest, the principal remaining undiminished. In neither, however, is the estate ever forfeited. See 2 Br. & Had. Com. 299, and consult ...
Letters of marque
Letters of marque, commissions for extraordinary reprisals for reparation to merchants taken and despoiled by strangers at sea, grantable by the Secretaries of State, with the approbation of the Sovereign and Council; and usually in time of war, etc., ex Merc. 173. The words marque and reprisal are used as synonymous terms, although the latter is, strictly, taking in return; the former passing the frontiers in order to such taking, Du Cange, tit. 'Marcha.'These letters are grantable by the law of nations, wherever the subjects of one state are oppressed and injured by those of another, and justice is denied by that state to which the oppressor belongs. In this case letters of marque and reprisal may be obtained in order to seize the bodies or goods of the subjects of the offending state, until satisfaction be made, wherever they happen to be found; and, in fact, this custom seems dictated by nature. The necessity, however, is obvious of calling in the sovereign power to determine when ...

Advancement
Advancement, promotion; additional price. An advancement clause in a settlement or will is a provision authorizing the trustees, with the consent of the tenant for life, to pay by anticipation a limited portion of the share to which a remainderman will ultimately be entitled for his benefit or advancement in life.In equity the presumption of advancement is an important exception to the doctrine of resulting trusts that a conveyance to a stranger without a consideration is merely a nominal one, and no intention on the face of it of conferring the beneficial interests will result to the grantor. The presumption of advancement generally arises where a person advances money for the purchase of any property or right in the name of another for whom the purchaser is under a legal or even in some cases a moral obligation to provide. It will arise in favour of a wife, legitimate children, and in some cases in regard to persons to whom the purchaser stands in loco parentis, but it has been held ...
