עמוד 61 - It is so especially where the change of domicile is into a foreign country. ' You may much more easily suppose that a person having originally been living in Scotland, a Scotchman, means permanently to quit it and come to England, or vice versa, than that he is quitting the United Kingdom in order to make his permanent home where he must for ever be a foreigner, and...

עמוד 203 - The abolition of all usury laws by 17 and 18 Viet- c. 90, deprives this question of much of its importance as regards this country. The rule in the text was never adopted by British courts, ' for the moderation or exorbitance of interest depends on local circumstances, and the refusal to enforce such contracts would put a stop to all foreign trade.
עמוד 28 - Being entertained in an English court, it must be adjudicated according to the principles of English law applicable to such a case. But the only principle applicable to such a case by the law of England is, that the validity of...
