JOINTURE.-See DOWER. JOURNEY.-See CONCEALED WEAPONS; TRAVEL. JOURNEYS ACCOUNTS.-A new writ which the plaintiff was permitted to sue out within a reasonable time after the abatement, without his fault, of the first writ.1 J. P.-Abbreviation for Justice of the Peace.2 1. Spencer's Case, 6 Co. 10; Kinsey v. Heyward, 1 Ld. Raym. 432; Davies v. Lowndes, 7 M. & G. 762; Richards v. Maryland Ins. Co., 8' Cr. (U. S.) 84; Bouv. L. Dict. It is a continuance of the former writ, and must be in the same court, between the same parties, or where one of the plaintiffs has died, or one of the defendants. Spencer's Case, 6 Co. 10. "The word dieta signifies a day's journey, and the best account of the word is given by Selden, that the chancery being a movable court and following the king's court, the party who purchased the second writ ought to have applied to the king's court as hastily as the distance of the place would allow, accounting twenty miles for every day's journey." Kinsey v. Heyward, 1 Ld. Raym. 432. 2. "Two justices then were authorized to take bail in the present case. The persons approving of the recognizance respectively affixed to their signatures the letters, J. P. These charac12 C. of L.-I 1 ters are understood to be an abbreviation of the term justice of the peace, one in common use and clearly indicating that that office is intended. It sufficiently appears that the bond was entered into before and approved by two justices." Shattuck v. People, 5 Ill. 477. 3. Jubilee cannot be registered as a trade mark under the English statutes on the subject. "It is not, obviously, meaningless or not descriptive with reference to note paper, because it may be note paper which is produced in the jubilee year. I have said the jubilee year. Mr. Ashton argued at some little length that the word 'jubilee' was not a good English word; but it is plain that it is a common English word, and used without reference to the term year. The term 'jubilee' is used by several writers of authority, not of the present day, but of times past, such as Dryden and Sir Walter Scott, and I could give many others." Towgood v. Pirie, 56 L. T., N. S. 305; s. c., 35 W. R. 729. |
