BREACH
(bouvier) | BREACH, contract, torts. The violation of an obligation, engagement or duty;
as a breach of covenant is the non-performance or violation of a covenant;
the breach of a promise is non-performance of a promise; the breach of a
duty, is the refusal or neglect to execute an office or public trust,
according to law.
2. Breaches of a contract are single or continuing breaches. The former
are those which are committed at one single time. Skin. 367; Carth. 289. A
continuing breach is one committed at different times, as, if a covenant to
repair be broken at one time, and the same covenant be again broken, it is a
continuing breach. Moore, 242; 1 Leon. 62; 1 Salk. 141; Holt, 178; Lord
Raym. 1125. When a covenant running with the land is assigned after a single
breach, the right of action for such breach does not pass to the assignee
but if it be assigned after the commencement of a continuing breach, the
right of action then vests in such assignee. Cro. Eliz. 863; 8 Taunt. 227;,
2 Moore, 164; 1 Leon. 62.
3. In general the remedy for breaches of contracts, or quasi contracts,
is by a civil action.
|
BREACH
(bouvier) | BREACH. pleading. That part of the declaration in which the violation of the
defendant's contract is stated.
2. It is usual in assumpsit to introduce the statement of the
particular breach, with the allegation that the defendant, contriving and
fraudulently intending craftily and subtilely to deceive and defraud the
plaintiff, neglected and refused to perform, or performed the particular act
contrary to the previous stipulation. ?
3. In debt, the breach or cause of action. complained of must proceed
only for the non-payment of money previously alleged to be payable; and such
breach is nearly similar, whether the action be in debt on simple contract,
specially, record or statute, and is usually of the following form: " Yet
the said defendant, although often requested so to, do, hath not as yet paid
the said sum of ____ dollars, above demanded, nor any part thereof, to the
said plaintiff, but bath hitherto wholly neglected and refused so to do, to
the damage of the said plaintiff _________ dollars, and therefore he brings
suit," &c.
4. The breach must obviously be governed by the nature of the
stipulation; it ought to be assigned in the words of the contract, either
negatively or affirmatively, or in words which are co-extensive with its
import and effect. Com. Dig. Pleader, C 45 to 49; 2 Saund. 181, b, c; 6
Cranch, 127; and see 5 John. R. 168; 8 John. R. 111; 7 John. R. 376; 4 Dall.
436; 2 Hen. & Munf. 446.
5. When the contract is in the disjunctive, as, on a promise to deliver
a horse by a particular day, or pay a sum of money, the breach ought to be
assigned that the defendant did not do the one act nor the other. 1 Sid.
440; Hardr. 320; Com. Dig. Pleader, C.

a private law; and hence, it denotes some peculiar
benefit or advantage, some right or immunity, not
enjoyed by the world at large. Prerogative, among the
Romans, was the right of voting first; and, hence, it
denotes a right of precedence, or of doing certain
acts, or enjoying certain privileges, to the exclusion
of others. It is the privilege of a member of Congress
not to be called in question elsewhere for words
uttered in debate. It is the prerogative of the
president to nominate judges and executive officers.

BREACH
(bouvier) | BREACH, contract, torts. The violation of an obligation, engagement or duty;
as a breach of covenant is the non-performance or violation of a covenant;
the breach of a promise is non-performance of a promise; the breach of a
duty, is the refusal or neglect to execute an office or public trust,
according to law.
2. Breaches of a contract are single or continuing breaches. The former
are those which are committed at one single time. Skin. 367; Carth. 289. A
continuing breach is one committed at different times, as, if a covenant to
repair be broken at one time, and the same covenant be again broken, it is a
continuing breach. Moore, 242; 1 Leon. 62; 1 Salk. 141; Holt, 178; Lord
Raym. 1125. When a covenant running with the land is assigned after a single
breach, the right of action for such breach does not pass to the assignee
but if it be assigned after the commencement of a continuing breach, the
right of action then vests in such assignee. Cro. Eliz. 863; 8 Taunt. 227;,
2 Moore, 164; 1 Leon. 62.
3. In general the remedy for breaches of contracts, or quasi contracts,
is by a civil action.
BREACH. pleading. That part of the declaration in which the violation of the
defendant's contract is stated.
2. It is usual in assumpsit to introduce the statement of the
particular breach, with the allegation that the defendant, contriving and
fraudulently intending craftily and subtilely to deceive and defraud the
plaintiff, neglected and refused to perform, or performed the particular act
contrary to the previous stipulation. ?
3. In debt, the breach or cause of action. complained of must proceed
only for the non-payment of money previously alleged to be payable; and such
breach is nearly similar, whether the action be in debt on simple contract,
specially, record or statute, and is usually of the following form: " Yet
the said defendant, although often requested so to, do, hath not as yet paid
the said sum of ____ dollars, above demanded, nor any part thereof, to the
said plaintiff, but bath hitherto wholly neglected and refused so to do, to
the damage of the said plaintiff _________ dollars, and therefore he brings
suit," &c.
4. The breach must obviously be governed by the nature of the
stipulation; it ought to be assigned in the words of the contract, either
negatively or affirmatively, or in words which are co-extensive with its
import and effect. Com. Dig. Pleader, C 45 to 49; 2 Saund. 181, b, c; 6
Cranch, 127; and see 5 John. R. 168; 8 John. R. 111; 7 John. R. 376; 4 Dall.
436; 2 Hen. & Munf. 446.
5. When the contract is in the disjunctive, as, on a promise to deliver
a horse by a particular day, or pay a sum of money, the breach ought to be
assigned that the defendant did not do the one act nor the other. 1 Sid.
440; Hardr. 320; Com. Dig. Pleader, C.
|
BREACH OF PRISON
(bouvier) | BREACH OF PRISON. An unlawful escape out of prison. This is of itself a
misdemeanor. 1 Russ. Cr. 378; 4 Bl. Com. 129 2 Hawk. P. C. c. 18, s. 1 7
Conn. 752. The remedy for this offence is by indictment. See Escape.
|
BREACH OF THE PEACE
(bouvier) | BREACH OF THE PEACE. A violation of public order; the offence of disturbing
the public peace. One guilty of this offence may be held to bail for his
good behaviour. An act of public indecorum is also a breach of the peace.
The remedy for this offence is by indictment. Vide Pace,
|
BREACH OF TRUST
(bouvier) | BREACH OF TRUST. The willful misappropriation, by a trustee, of a thing which
had been lawfully delivered to him in confidence.
2. The distinction between larceny and a breach of trust is to be found
chiefly in the terms or way in which the thing was taken originally into the
party's possession; and the rule seems to be, that whenever the article is
obtained upon a fair contract, not for a mere temporary purpose, or by one
who is in the. employment of the deliverer, then the subsequent
misappropriation is to be considered as an act of breach of trust. This rule
is, however, subject to many nice distinctions. 15 S. & R. 93, 97. It has
been adjudged that when the owner of goods parts with the possession for a
particular purpose, and the person who receives them avowedly for that
purpose, has at the time a fraudulent intention to make use of the
possession as the weans of converting the goods to his own use, and does so
convert them, it is larceny; but if the owner part with the property,
although fraudulent means have been used to obtain it, the, act of
conversion is not larceny. Id. Alis. Princ. c. 12, p. 354.
3. In the Year Book, 21 H. VII. 14, the distinction is thus stated:
Pigot. If I deliver a jewel or money to my servant to keep, and he flees or
goes from me with the jewel, is it felony ? Cutler said, Yes : for so long
as he is with me or in my house, that which I have delivered to him is
adjudged to be in my possession; as my butler, who has my plate in keeping,
if he flees with it, it is felony. Same law; if he who keeps my horse goes
away with, him: The reason is, they are always in my possession. But if I
deliver a horse to my servant to ride to market or the fair and he flee with
him, it is no felony; for e comes lawfully to the possession of the horse by
delivery. And so it is, if I give him a jewel to carry to London, or to pay
one, or to buy a thing, and he flee with it, it is not felony : for it is
out of my possession, and he comes lawfully to it. Pigot. It can well be:
for the master in these cases has an action against him, viz., Detinue, or
Account. See this point fully discussed in Stamf. P. C. lib. 1; Larceny, c.
15, p. 25. Also, 13 Ed. IV. fo. 9; 52 H. III. 7; 21 H. VII. 15.
