If the parent alledged
no reason, or a bad, or
false one [for disinherison]
the child might set
the will aside, tanquam
testamentum inofficiosum,
a testament contrary to
the natural duty of the
parent....by suggesting
that the parent lost the
use of his reason, when
he made the inofficious
testament. I436
The duties of children
to their parents arise from
a principle of natural
justice and retribution.
I461.
When [a set of persons]
are consolidated and
united into a corperation,
they and their successors
are then considered as
one person in law: as
one person they have
but one will....I656.
all the individual members
that have existed
from the foundation to
the present time, or that
shall ever hereafter exist,
are but one person in
law, a person that
never dies. I656
The king is a sole
corperation; so is a bishop.
&c.
The law...has wisely
ordained, that the parson,
quatinus parson, shall
never die any more
than the king; by making
him and his successors
a corperation ...
for the present incumbent,
and his predecessor
who lived seven centuries
ago, are in law one &
the same person. I458
Common law...nothing
else but custom
arising from the universal
agreement of the
whole community. I460.
---page break---
Of the king...bishops,
parsons, vicars, churchwardens,
....we cannot
frame a complete legal
idea...but we must
also have an idea of a
corporation. I460
When a corporation is
erected, a name must
be given it ... and ...
such name is the very
being of its constitution.
I462
A corperation, being
an invisible body, cannot
manifest its intentions
by any personal act or
oral discourse: it therefore
acts and speaks only by
its common seal. I463.
