As a result, the Scottish Estates acquiesced to the Act of Union 1707, under which England and Scotland were united into a single Kingdom of Great Britain, with succession to be determined under the rules prescribed by the Act of Settlement.

 UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1951 Issue 1 - 004
The 1937 report states that for a population of 3,110,694 males between twenty and fifty-nine years of age the hashish consumers can be estimated at 11,552 for 1934, 10,503 for 1935, 6,075 for 1936 and 6,524 for 1937.
In 1937, 31 kilogrammes 369 grammes of hashish were seized on these small sailing boats, and 23 kilogrammes 577 grammes on steamers.
It may therefore be hoped that the "Marihuana Tax Act" of 1937 will suffice to ensure control over cannabis traffic, and to prevent the abuse of the plant and its derivatives.

The Act of Union 1800 merged the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain (itself a merger of England and Wales and Scotland under the Act of Union 1707) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 January 1801.
Prior to this act the two kingdoms had been in personal union with each other since 1541, when the Irish Parliament proclaimed King Henry VIII of England King of Ireland.
The final passage of the Act in the Irish Parliament was achieved with substantial majorities, achieved in part according to contemporary documents through bribery, namely the awarding of peerages and honours to critics to get their votes.

 The Iraq coup of Raschid Ali in 1941, the Mufti Husseini and the Farhud (Farhoud)
He is reputed to have met Adolf Eichmann in Palestine, when Eichmann had traveled there (in September or October of 1937) with another SS officer, Herbert Hagen, to investigate the possibility of deporting German Jews to Palestine.
At the same time there were many acts of kindness by Muslims who protected and sheltered Jews, and Muslim doctors who took the lead in giving aid to Jewish casualties.
According to one source (http://www.remember.org/eichmann/timeline.htm), Eichmann only arrived in Palestine in November of 1937, which was most likely after the Mufti had fled.

It is clear that the committee is regarded in the Act as a judicial body or court, though all it can do is to report or recommend to His Majesty in Council, by who the Order in Council which is made to give effect to the report of the Committee is made.
Thus the courts have come to recognise that the Crown can and does act in distinct and separable manners in each of the jurisdictions of the former Empire; and the recognition in case law of these different legal personalities was largely based upon the actual practices of government which had evolved across the Empire.
  Kennedy wrote in 1937 that, "in the final test of sovereignty - that of war - Canada is not a sovereign state...and it remains as true in 1937 as it was in 1914 that when the Crown is at war, Canada is legally at war".

After proving the premises is untenable, the tenant must also show that it abandoned the premises within a reasonable time after the landlord’s wrongful act, or discovery of the act.
Many leases make the tenant’s filing of bankruptcy itself an act of default entitling the landlord to possession, but such provisions are in violation of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. v. Pacific Rent-All, Inc.
Pacific asserted that, because Hebert and Marn were corporate officers of HBIF and, as such, were authorized to act on its behalf in all matters concerning the corporation, HBIF, Hebert, and Marn relinquished all rights arising from the fire and that, accordingly, the complaint must be dismissed.
Regarding Marn's implied authority to act on behalf of HBIF, the record is likewise devoid of any representations, either by word or conduct, by HBIF or Marn to Pacific or Grimmer-Schmidt that Marn was HBIF's agent in any regard.
It is well settled that, "[w]here the facts pertaining to the existence or nonexistence of an agency are conflicting or conflicting inferences may be drawn from the evidence, those are questions of fact for the determination of the jury.

On 29 July 1937, the young King Farouk reached the age of majority and as though in an early attempt to assert his independence, demanded a coronation ceremony different from the one his Wafdist regents had planned for him.
By the end of 1937, the Wafd's overbearingness would bring the defection of two of the party's key members -- Ahmed Maher and Mahmoud Fahmi -- and the collapse of El-Nahhas's government.
In the face of attacks in both the Egyptian and British press, Wafd leaders began to feel they had to act in the face of the youth groups that were causing them such embarrassment.

 Jack Johnson, Rebel of the Progessive era - The Interactive Message Board of kwabs.com
The Mann Act was part of this social reforming zeal, an attempt to stem the tide of prostitution among working class and immigrant women that was plaguing the country, by prohibiting the transport of women across state lines for immoral purposes.
The government was already trying to put together a case against him under the Mann Act with a woman named Lucille Cameron, a white prostitute who had consorted with Johnson.
The fact that she was white and that he had clearly been having an affair with her while his first wife was alive made it seem as Johnson was simply thumbing his nose at the moral and racial conventions of his society.

She would have been allowed to reign in her own right or act as a regent to her father on her 18th birthday; however, she could not act in the Council of State until she was 21.
There were plans to change the law so as to allow someone further down the succession to act as Counsellor of State, but the King died before the issue came up and the Regency Act 1953 did not make this rule.

 Appointment of a Deputy Regent
The 1937 law, with my retirement or death in view, provided that I could deposit a sealed letter with the two Keepers of the Crown in which I could nominate three candidates for the Regency, though Parliament would not be limited to my nominations.
The powers of the Deputy Regent were to be formulated in detail by the Regent in consultation with the Prime Minister; the law itself merely decreed that in the absence, illness or other incapacity of the Regent, the Deputy Regent should be empowered to act with the full powers of the Regent.
However, the element of danger that such a dualism entailed would be minimal in the appointment of a man so closely in accord with me as was my elder son.

The reference to the Government of India in section 2(2) of the 1937 Act is there because India did not fall within the term "dominions" as defined by section 1 of the Statute of Westminster 1931.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Augustus
Since the property of the proscribed was forfeited, the main motive of the triumvirs in instigating the terror appears to have been financial, as many of their most implacable enemies were not in Rome or Italy at all but with Brutus and Cassius in the East.
In a burst of dynastic activity in June of AD 4, Tiberius was rehabilitated and adopted by Augustus, as was Agrippa Postumus (the youngest child of Julia and Agrippa); Tiberius was constrained to adopt his nephew Germanicus.
Such cult centers therefore acted not only to promote unity in the previously barbarous western provinces and to direct loyalties accordingly, but they also facilitated the assimilation of local populations into a Roman way of life.
