It is quite possible honestly to regret the time when Edinburgh possessed the most intellectual society to be found in Great Britain or Ireland . " / 1 / So it was said by Lord Ellenborough , in a case where a lessor and his heirs were entitled to terminate a lease on notice , that a devisee of the land as heres factus would be understood to have the same right . This argument may best be put in its full strength if it be placed , as it often is , in the form of a question : Was it reasonable that Florence Nightingale should not have possessed the right to vote for a member of Parliament when even in her day her footman or her coachman , if he had happened to be a ten-pound householder , or a forty-shilling freeholder , might have exercised a right denied to a lady who , as appears from her biography , possessed many statesmanlike qualities , who did in fact in some lines of action exert more political power than most M.P.s , and who always exercised power disinterestedly , and generally exercised it with admitted benefit to the country ? But neither parliamentary government nor any form of constitution , either which has been invented or may be discovered , will ever of itself remove all or half the sufferings of human beings . The change can be validated by running Glance and examining the memory regions of the server ( s ) to make sure that they show a non-trivial fraction of the text segment being locked . Our civil servants , indeed , are as yet not in any serious degree put beyond the control of the law Courts , but in certain instances , and notably with regard to many questions arising under the National Insurance Act , 1911 , something very like judicial powers have been given to officials closely connected with the Government.55 And it may not be an exaggeration to say that in some directions the law of England is being " officialised , " if the expression may be allowed , by statutes passed under the influence of socialistic ideas . It could not then possibly have been presented to the King for his assent till June 9 , 1914 ; it was not so presented to the King till September 18 , 1914 . Hansard.21 The gist of the decision in that case is that a libellous document did not cease to be a libel because it was published by the order of the House of Commons , or because the House subsequently resolved that the power of publishing the report which contained it , was an essential incident to the constitutional functions of Parliament . The present owner was allowed to vouch directly those who otherwise would have been indirectly bound to defend his title , but no others . Take a few of the inquiries to which sanguine reformers , who talk with easy confidence of federalism being the solution of all the most pressing constitutional problems , must find a reply . / 3 / Yet escheat meant the extinction of the fee of which the lease and rent were parts , and although Bracton regarded the lord as coming in under the tenant 's title pro herede , in privity , it was soon correctly settled that he did not , but came in paramount . The book was based on lectures delivered by me as Vinerian Professor of English Law . Again , the fact is clear that the assign got the benefit of the warranty to the first grantee , not of a new one to himself , as has been shown , and Bracton 's explanation of how this was worked out falls in with what has been seen of the course of the German and Anglo-Saxon law , and with the pervading thought of the Roman law . And of the party which the parliamentary majority supports , the Premier has become at once the legal head and , if he is a man of ability , the real leader.116 This gradual development of the power of the Cabinet and of the Premier is a change in the working of the English constitution . If it should be suggested that Bracton 's language is only a piece of mediaeval scholasticism , there are several answers . Literal text is presented in the default font , while argument-types for which substitution is necessary are emphasized . The same word was used in alleging a right by prescription , " that he and those whose estate he hath have for time whereof memory runneth not to the contrary , " & c .; and it will be remembered that the word corresponds to the same requirement of succession there . The referendum futher will promote or tend to promote among the electors a kind of intellectual honesty which , as our constitution now works , is being rapidly destroyed . Yet this power of a Premier conscious of his own popularity , to destroy the House of Commons which put him in office , and to appeal from the House to the nation , has been treated by Bagehot as one of the features in which the constitution of England excels the constitution of the United States . ( Previously three configuration files were used . But wills of land were only exceptionally allowed by custom until the reign of Henry VIII ., and as the main doctrines of conveyancing had been settled long before that time , we must look further back and to other sources for their explanation . All that can be said is , that the metaphors and similes employed naturally led to the rule which has prevailed , [ 385 ] and that , as this rule was just as good as any other , or at least was unobjectionable , it was drawn from the figures of speech without attracting attention , and before any one had seen that they were only figures , which proved nothing and justified no conclusion . For side by side with the personal warranty which has been discussed hitherto , there was another warranty which has not yet been mentioned [ 395 ] by which particular land alone was bound . They could be possessed even by wrong , and possessory remedies were given for them .
