Allegiance
Allegiance [fr. ligo, Lat.], the natural, lawful, and faithful obedience which every subject owes to the supreme magistrate who oversteps not his prerogatives. It is either natural or perpetual, where one is a subject born, or has been naturalized; or local and temporary, where one is merely a resident in the British dominions, Co. Litt. 129 a. it is also either implied, so soon as the relationship of sovereign and subject is created; or express, which is the formal declaration of it. An alien resident within British territory owes allegiance to the Crown and maybe indicted for high treason, though not a subject, De Jager v. A. G. of natal, 1907 AC 326. It seems that the subject of a friendly state residing within the realm who violates the local allegiance which he owes to the Crown does not lose the rights of an alien amy until the Crown withdraws its protection, Johnstone v. Pedlar, 1921 AC 262. See Broom's Const. Law, Calvin's Case....

Baron
Baron [fr. beorn, Sax., noble], the fifth and lowest degree of nobility, next to a viscount, and above that of a knight or baronet. In the Salic Law it signifies free-born. The present barons are-(1) By prescription; for that they and their ancestors have immemorially sat in the Upper House.(2) Barons by patent, having obtained a patent of this dignity to them and their heirs, male or otherwise. (3) Barons by tenure, holding the title as annexed to land; it is said that it is the possession of their ancient landed territories which imparts the barony to the bishops, there by giving them a place in the Upper House, although they hold by succession, not by inheritance; but it is rather thought that they sit in the Upper House by immemorial usage....
Access
Access, approach, or the means of approaching. The presumption of a child's legitimacy is rebutted, if it be shown by strong, distinct, satisfactory, and conclusive evidence, see Atchley v. Sprigg, (1864) 33 LJ Ch 345, that the husband-whether before or after marriage-had not access to his wife within such a period of time before the birth, as admits of his having been the father. 'If a husband have access, although others, at the same time, are carrying on a criminal intimacy with his wife, a child born under such circumstances is still legitimate': per Alderson, J., in Cope v. Cope, (1833) 5 C&P 604. Neither husband nor wife is admissible as a witness to prove non-access, Goodright v. Moss, (1777) 2 Cowp p. 594. See also Poulett Peerage Case, 1903 AC 395, and Russell v. Russell, 1924 AC 687 see PATERNITY.An owner of land adjoining a highway has a right of access to it where the land adjoins for any kind of traffic required for the reasonable enjoyment of his property, Lyon v.

Average
Average, a medium, a mean proportion used in various senses:-(1) A service which a tenant owes to his lord by doing work with his avers.(2) A shipping or insurance term. (a) Average, or more fully general average, is where any damage or loss has been properly and voluntarily incurred in respect of a ship or cargo for its safety, e.g., goods thrown overboard in a storm to lighten the ship. Such loss by maritime law is shared proportionately between the shipowners and the owners of the cargo, according to value. This risk is almost always covered by insurance. An Average Bond is a bond entered into by the consignees of a cargo with the shipowners, when a general average loss has been sustained by the ship, binding the former to pay their proportion as soon as ascertained. (b) Particular average is damage, or loss to a ship, or cargo, other than a general average loss. Such a loss rests where it falls, that is to say, is borne by the owner of the thing lost or damaged, or by his insurer, ...
