Bond

Bond [fr. binda, band, bunden, A. S., to bind], a written acknowledgement or binding of a debt under seal. See DEED. No technical form of words is necessary to constitute a bond; see Gerrard v. Clowes, (1892) 2 QB 11; Strickland v. Williams, (1899) 1 QB 382. The person giving the bond is called the obligor, and he to whom it is given the obligee. A bond is called single (simplex obligatio) when it is without a penalty, but there is generally a condition added, that, if the obligor does or forbears from some act, the obligation shall be void, or else shall remain in full force, and the bond is then called a double or conditional one; see Dav. Prec. Vol. V., pt. Ii., p. 268. When a bond contains a penalty, which is generally double the amount of the principal sum secured, only the sum actually owing, with interest, can be recovered, and in no case can this exceed the amount appearing on the face of the bond. See 8 & 9 Wm. 3, c. 11, s. 8; Re Dixon, (1900) 2 Ch 561.Although it is unnecessa...

Tontine

Tontine, a life-annuity, or a loan raised on life-annuities, with benefit of survivorship. The term originated from the circumstance that Lorenzo Tonti, an Italian, invented this kind of security in the seventeenth century, when the Governments of Europe had some difficulty in raising money in consequence of the wars of Louis XIV, who first adopted the plan in France. a loan was obtained from several individuals on the grant of an annuity to each of them, on the understanding that, as deaths occurred, the annuity should continue payable to the survivors, and that the last survivor should take the whole. This mode of raising money has more than once been adopted by the English Government (see, e.g., 29 Geo. 3, c. 41, amended by 30 Geo. 3, c. 45), and also for the purpose of private speculations, but it has almost entirely fallen into disuse....
