Present
A gift, or wore properly the thing given. It is provided by the constitution of the United States, that "no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, [the United States] shall, without the consent of congress, accept of any present, emolument, or office, or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."
Intention
A design, resolve, or determination of the mind.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Holding company
A company may own one or more other companies which are its subsidiaries. The relationship between parent and subsidiary depends on majority control of the voting rights of shares or the ability to appoint the majority of directors.
Holding over
The act of keeping possession by the tenant, without the consent of the landlord of premises which the latter, or those under whom he claims, had leased to the former, after the term has expired.
Holograph
What is written by one's own hand. The same as Olograph.
Holograph will
A will written entirely in the testator's handwriting and not witnessed. Some states recognize holograph wills, other do not. Still other states will recognize a will as "holograph" if only part of it is in the testator's handwriting (the other part being type-written).
Homage
English law. An acknowledgment made by the vassal in the presence of his lord, that he is his man, that is, his subject or vassal. The form in law French was, Jeo deveigne vostre home.
Home
Home port
The port where the owner of a ship resides; this is a relative term.
Home port doctrine
A principle of the general maritime law whereby a maritime lien existed for the supply of necessaries (infra)to a vessel only if the necessaries were supplied away from the vessel's home port. The home port doctrine is still enshrined in French maritime law in respect of necessaries and master's disbursements (infra), but has been repealed by statute in the modern maritime law of most common law jurisdictions.
Homestall
The mansion-house.
Homestead
The place of the house or home place. Homestead farm does not necessarily include all the parcels of land owned by the grantor, though lying and occupied together. This depends upon the intention of the parties when the term is mentioned in a deed, and is to be gathered from the context.
Homicide
Criminal law. According to Blackstone, it is the killing of any human creature. This is the most extensive sense of this word, in which the intention is not considered. But in a more limited sense, it is always understood that the killing is by human agency, and Hawkins defines it to be the killing of a man by a man.Homicide may perhaps be described to be the destruction of the life of one human being, either by himself, or by the act, procurement, or culpable omission of another. When the death has been intentionally caused by the deceased himself, the offender is called felo de se; when it is caused by another, it is justifiable, excusable, or felonious. The person killed must have been born; the killing before birth is balled foeticide.
