Public health. The first (English) Public Health Act was passed in 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. 63); this was an adoptive Act not applying to London, and forms the foundation of modern sanitary legislation. It was followed by some twenty nine amending Acts which were repealed and consolidated by the Public Health Act, 1875 (the Local Government Act, 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5, c. 51), repeals certain sections of this Act, re-enacting them with amendments), which thus formed a sanitary code for England outside the metropolis. This Act has been since amended and extended by subsequent statutes. The latest is the Public Health Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5 and 1 Edw. 8, c. 49), which, as from 1st October, 1937, consolidates many of the provisions of earlier legislation, without, however, repealing parts of the Public Health Acts of 1875, 1890, 1907 and 1925. The Act repeals and replaces among other enact-ments and as from various dates respectively provided by the Act: the whole of the Baths and Wash-houses A...
Re-entry
Re-entry, the resuming or retaking that possession which one has lately foregone. A clause of this nature, called a 'proviso for re-entry,' is inserted in every properly drawn lease, empowering the lessor to re-enter upon the demised premises if the rent is in arrear for a certain period, e.g., twenty-one days, or if there shall be any breach of the lessee's covenants. A proviso for re-entry, strictly speaking, is only applicable to corporeal hereditaments; see Sitwell v. Londesborough (Earl of), (1905) 1 Ch 465. A proviso for re-entry for breach of covenant has been denounced by a judge of the greatest eminence as 'a most odious stipulation', Hodgkinson v. Crowe, (1875) LR 10 Ch 626, per Sir Wm. James, L.J., but in practice is certainly common enough. A proviso confined to the case of non-payment of rent is a 'usual' stipulation: see Re Anderton, (1890) 45 Ch D 476. A lease under the Settled Land Act, 1882, must contain a condition of re-entry on the rent not being paid within a speci...

Requires
Requires, the word 'requires' in s. 13(1)(g) of the Bombay Rents Hotel and Lodging House Rates (Control) Act, 1947 means that there must be an element of need before a landlord can be said to 'require' premises for his own use and occupation. It is not enough that the landlord should merely desire to use and occupy the premises. What is necessary is that he should need them for his own use and occupation, Phiroze Bamanji Desai v. Chandarkant M. Patel, AIR 1974 SC 1059 (1063): (1974) 1 SCC 661: (1974) 3 SCR 267.The word 'require' in s. 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 implies compulsion, Mohammed Hasnuddin v.

Syllogism
Syllogism, the full logical from of a single argument. to a legitimate syllogism it is essential that there should be three, and no more than three, pro-positions-namely, the conclusion, or proposition to be proved, and two other propositions which together prove it, and which are called the premises. There must be three terms, viz., the subject and predicate of the conclusion, and another called the middle term, which must be found in both premises, since it is by means of it that the other two terms are to be connected together, e.g., all men are mortal; John is a man; therefore John is mortal.

To which s. 54 does not apply
To which s. 54 does not apply, the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, the Slum Areas (Improvement & Clearance) Act, 1956 and the Delhi (Tenants Temporary Protection) Act, 1956 and the Delhi Tenants (Temporary Protection) Act, 1956, all deal with premises and property and therefore the phrase 'to which s. 54 does not apply' is connected with the word 'premises'. The proviso did not apply and the matter had to be governed by the old Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952, which had been repealed, Jai Narain v. Kishanchand, AIR 1969 SC 1165: (1969) 1 SCC 724: (1969) 3 SCR 854....
