Page 1 - ... in a hundred in which that proof would be attainable : it is very rarely indeed that the parties are surprised in the direct fact of adultery. In every case almost the fact is inferred from circumstances that lead to it by fair inference as a necessary conclusion^ and unless this were the case, and and unless this were so held, no protection whatever could be given to marital rights.
Page 263 - ... qui ea vera ac rata esse negant, quique falso affirmant, matrimonia a filiis familias sine consensu parentum contracta irrita esse, et parentes ea rata vel irrita faceré posse: nihilominus sancta Dei ecclesia ex iustissimis causis illa semper detestata est atque prohibuit.

Consensus non concubitus facit matrimonium*, the maxim of the Roman civil law, is, in truth, the maxim of all law upon the subject...

(Cic. de Off. 1. 17).- — In civil society it becomes a civil contract, regulated and prescribed by law, and endowed with civil consequences.
Page 328 - If these positions be true, it certainly follows that the question of comparative duration sinks into utter insignificance. " In support of them, it seems to be assumed that the tenant himself is imperishable; for surely there can be no inextinguishable title, no perpetuity of possession, belonging to a subject which itself is perishable — but the fact is, that 'man,' and 'for ever,' are terms quite incompatible in any state of his existence, dead or living, in this world.
