The Form of the Summons Under the Recent Michigan Judicature Act - It would be rather remarkable if in revising such a large portion of the statutes as was undertaken by the Commission on Revision and Consolidation of Statutes of the State of Michigan, appointed in 1913, which reported to the legislature the recently enacted Judicature Act (Public Acts of Michigan, 915, § 314), some ambiguity or uncertainty were not to appear in the revision. The Judicature Act is no exception to the general rule, as the lawyer who attempts to begin suit by summons under it will discover at …

Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Michigan Law Review
From the earliest period of our history it has been recognized that corporate existence and capacity is desirable if not indispensable in order to carry on the affairs of the various church societies in the most efficient manner. Accordingly various forms of religious corporations have been developed. Of these the earliest, namely the territorial parish and the corporation sole, grew out of the then existing union of church and state. They were public municipal corporations and passed away with the system which had given them birth. Their place was taken by other church corporations of which there are three principal …

Powers Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
Religious corporations in the United States have assumed various shapes. The original two forms, (corporation sole and territorial parish) being unsuited to our conditions, have completely passed away. In their stead have grown up four other classes, the aggregate corporation, the trustee corporation, the modern form of the corporation sole, and the Roman Catholic Church in our insular possessions. These four kinds of corporations, however diverse they may be in their history and otherwise, have a number of important qualities in common. None of them are ecclesiastical corporations in the European sense of the word. All of them owe their …

The Completion of a Contract by Posting of Acceptance - In the recent case of Kennedy Mcrcantile Co. v. Western Union Telegraph Co., the court says, "It is well settled law in this state that,where an offer is submitted by letter, an acceptance is conclusive and binding when a letter is deposited in the post-office accepting the same. The delivery to the one making the offer is not the test; for when the offer is submitted in that way it is equivalent to an invitation to accept by the same means, and when the acceptance is delivered to the agency …

Conveyancing In The Province Of Quebec, Howard S. Ross
Conveyancing In The Province Of Quebec, Howard S. Ross
Michigan Law Review
A solicitor who has had experience as a conveyancer in any of the other Canadian provinces is at first disappointed when he finds on coming to Quebec to practice that in Quebec the bulk of the conveyancing is done by Notaries who, as is well known, belong to a distinct profession founded on the French Notarial system. An Advocate may not be a Notary or a Notary an Advocate, at one and the same time. In a few cases young men take the examinations and qualify as Advocates and Notaries and then elect. Occasionally after practicing a number of years …

Revocability of Licenses - The Rule of Wood v. Leadbitter - That a mere license purporting to create in the licensee a new right or privilege is revocable at law at the will of the licensor seems to have been definitely settled in England by Wood v. Leadbitter. It was there held that the plaintiff who had entered the close of the defendant's master after the purchase of a proper ticket could be -forcibly ousted, notice having been first given that he should leave. The only remedy open to the ousted ticket holder-in law at least-no excessive violence having been …

Early History Of Equity, W S. Holdsworth
Early History Of Equity, W S. Holdsworth
Michigan Law Review
Mr W. T. BARBOUR'S Essay on the History of Contract in early English Equity, which has been published this year in Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, is one of the most, if not the most, valuable of the contributions to English Legal History which has yet appeared in that series. Mr. BARBOUR is to be congratulated on his first appearance in a field in which the harvest, though somewhat difficult to collect, is very abundant,-- in a field in which the labourers are all too few. I think too that the Essay is important not only because it …
