The Disposition To Be Made Of Property The Subject Of A Power If The Power Is Not Exercised, John R. Rood
Articles
The object sought in this article is to collect and classify the cases in which the courts have passed on the question as to what shall be done with property over which a power of appointment has been given; when it finally turns out for some reason that the power has not been exercised. It is not the object to establish any particular thesis, but rather to ascertain how the adjudicated cases stand.
Options And The Rule Against Perpetuities, John R. Rood
Options And The Rule Against Perpetuities, John R. Rood
Articles
"The question to be discussed in this article is whether an option to buy property is void by reason of the fact that it may be exercised at a period more remote from the time of its creation than the law of the state permits contingent interest to vest."

Reletting On Abandonment By Tenant As Surrender By Operation Of Law, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Among the very many difficult problems arising under the STATUTE OF FRAUDS not the least troublesome has been that of surrender of estates by "operation of law." The Statute (29 Car. II, c.3,§3,) provided that "no leases * * * shall * * * be assigned, granted, or surrendered, unless it be by deed or note in writing, * * * or by act and operation of law." Under a number of varying situations it has been held that a surrender by operation of law had been accomplished. See 2 TIFFANY, LANDLORD AND TENANT, §190. In Lyon v. Reed, 13 …
Rights In Percolating Waters, Ralph W. Aigler
Rights In Percolating Waters, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Almost without exception the courts approve of Acton v. Blundell, 12 M. & W. 324, to the extent of its actual decision,-that where as a result of improvement or enjoyment of one's own land one conducts operations which draw off percolating waters from a neighbor's land, even to the extent of drying up a well or spring, such inconvenience is to be deemed damnum absque injuria. The doctrine of the court "that the person who owns the surface may dig therein, and apply all that is there found to his own purposes at his free will and pleasure," if intended …

The Right Of Fishing, Ralph W. Aigler
The Right Of Fishing, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
While the man engaged in fishing is ordinarily more concerned with the supply of fish and their susceptibility than with his right to be doing what he is, not infrequently the latter question is thrust upon his attention. Popular notions on this matter are not to be relied upon. "In country life a multitude of acts are habitually committed that are technically trespasses.
