The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
Michigan Law Review
The modern street is not a simple roadway, but a complicated three-story structure in the use of which the general public, the city government, the abutting property owner and the licensed corporation are interested. Not often are streets so limited in capacity as the one in Frankfort, Kentucky, which was so narrow that the passage of a railroad train would have all but filled it, a condition which led the court to enjoin the construction of a track, though duly authorized. Generally there is room for all, and the use of the streets has been granted with the greatest liberality. …

Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
In an article in Vol. 22 of the Law Quarterly Review, Professor Albert M. Kales presents a reclassification of future interests in land, the salient feature of which is an attempt to overthrow the conventional conception of a contingent remainder as a future estate given, not presently, but on condition precedent, and to substitute an entirely new conception of his own. This effort, by its boldness and novelty commands something more than a mere passing mention. It is my purpose, first to present as briefly as is consistent with clearness what I conceive to be the common law theory of …

Is One Claiming Title Under A Quitclaim Deed A Bona Fide Purchaser, L. W. Carr
Is One Claiming Title Under A Quitclaim Deed A Bona Fide Purchaser, L. W. Carr
Michigan Law Review
In considering this question two primary considerations are presented at the outset, (I) what is meant by a quitclaim deed, and (2) what constitutes a bona fide purchaser. The quitclaim, as used in the law of conveyancing in the United States, is ordinarily treated as analogous to the old English deed of release, but the latter could operate only when the vendee was already the owner of an estate in the land, while the former is recognized as an original conveyance. The usual operative words are "remise, release, and forever quit claim." Frequently a covenant against incumbrances by the grantor …

Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Michigan Law Review
Should the title or lien of a foreign mortgagee be protected against the claims of creditors and innocent purchasers in the state to which the mortgaged property is removed? It is sometimes said that the chattel mortgage creates a mere lien by the law of the state where made, which is not entitled to recognition in any other state. The weight of authority is otherwise. It is a transfer of the, property itself as a security for the debt. There are some states in which a mortgage of personal property creates no title in the mortgagee, but a mere lien; …
