18, n. (n).—Perhaps, however, a contract to pay within the time fixed by

the law of the land, where the contract is made, may be valid. See judgment of Cockburn, C. J., Harris v. Quine, 17 W. R.

soil, may be claimed by prescription; Co. Litt. 114 b.; or, as in the case of a several fishery, when the franchise includes the soil, and the soil can be considered as a mere adjunct. A grant of such a franchise sometimes includes, sometimes excludes, the soil. See Rice v. Wiseman, 3 Bulstr. 82; Co. Litt. 5 b.; Shep. Touch.

362. 151, n. (2).— There is, however, great difference between an aisle and a

seat in an aisle. The seat may be since the foundation of the

church. Keb. 370. 177.-It would seem that a several fishery in a tidal river is not lost or

extinguished by mere non-user, and open to the public again. Mayor of Carlisle v. Graham, Exch., Trin. Vac. 1869, not yet

reported. 179, n. ().-So a grant of free warren of a particular kind, as conies,

would not include the soil. Earl Beauchamp v. Winn, 17 W. R.

866. 190.—The grant of “The A- Fishery” is not for any particular sort of

fish, and is equivocal. The fishery may be a free fishery or a common of fishery, or a several fishery; and by extraneous evidence before a proper tribunal the nature of it may be satisfactorily determined; but until that is done, is an undefined right; and the owner, whenever the occasion arises, must ascertain the specific character of the fishery. See Gore v. M Dermott, Ir. Rep.,

1 C. L. 348; Re Acheson's Estate, ib.; 3 Eq. Ca. 105. 191, n. (u).- On this case, see Gore v. M*Dermott, 1 Ir. Rep., C. L. 359,

360. 195.-When a tidal river, wherein is a several fishery, changes its course,

passing through the land of a subject, and not that of the Crown, the fishery is not transferred into the new channel. Mayor of

Carlisle v. Graham, sup. 328, n. (t).-See ADD, to p. 150, sup: 362, n. (a).-In the case of The Mayor of Carlisle v. Graham, sup.,

Bramwell, B., expressed an opinion that the several fishery in

question was not within any Statute of Limitation. 369, n. (9).-But although a pew must be attached to a house, yet a chapel

on the soil and freehold of the owner need not. Sid. 88; Chap

man v. Jones, 17 W. R. 920; 20 L. T. R., N. S. 811, S. C. 447, n. (g).-Smith v. Stocks, 20 L. T. R., N. S. 740. 462, n. (t).-But see Re Phæne's Trusts, 17 W. R. 1078.

Civil society, however, being constituted, in however rude a form, the institution of property arises, and whatever may be the design or end of such society, order is essential to its very existence. For establishing and preserving this order the rights and duties of the individual members of such society require to be distinctly defined, and effectually maintained. In particular, the protection of those rights which arise from, or are connected with, the institution of property and the possession and the enjoyment of those things which are the objects of that institution, is a consideration of the first importance.
