Sivu 48 - ... the matters in dispute, to a Court of competent jurisdiction to try the demand, and shall assign satisfactory reasons to the Court why he did not proceed in the suit, or shall prove that either from minority or other good and sufficient cause, he had been precluded from obtaining redress.
Sivu 515 - Appeal to be governed by — that an objection, which, if taken, might have been cured, and which has not been taken in the Court below, shall not be taken in the Court of Appeal.
Sivu 537 - The case then stands by itself, and affords no general precedent, although even if it did it would relate only to. the rights claimable by an adopted son after adoption made. Upon the general argument, we do not propose to follow the discussions which have been raised before us into the different points of speculative doubt and nicety that have been referred to, as to the possibility of the existence of rights, present or...
Sivu 537 - ... as to the possibility of the existence of rights, present or contingent, in a child from the moment of its conception in the womb, — as to what is the precise time of vital conception...

The respondent's pleader has produced as a precedent in support of his case, the Report at page 175 of the Sudder Decisions for 1845, wherein it was • Ante pugs 44.
Sivu 361 - It is hereby certified that the said application is granted on the following grounds.
Sivu 542 - The truth is, that the supposition of a positive and actual right, vested in an embryo, which may never come into full existence, is one which must almost be rejected on the mere statement of it. It is particularly repugnant to common reason in the case of a possible adoption, which may be made after the lapse of many years, or may never be made at all. If the supposition were to be admitted and acted upon, the effect would be to alter the whole course of natural inheritance ; for there would be...
Sivu 540 - Now, upon the authorities, there can be no doubt that that is the result of an act of adoption, because the property is in the widow from the death of the husband till the power of adoption is exercised. Then that adoption divests it from the widow and vests it in the adopted son.
