MATTER OF RECORD

116

MAXIM

MATTER or RECORD. Those facts which may be proved by the production of a record. It differs from matter in deed, which oonsists of facts which may be proved by specialty.

MATl1RITT. The time .when a bill or note becomes due. In order to bind the indorsers, such note or bill must be protested, when not paid, on the last day of grace. See DAYS OF GRACE.

MAXIM. An established principle or proposition. A principle of law universally admitted, as being just and consonant with reason.

2. Maxims in law are somewhat like axioms in geometry. 1 Blackstone, Comm. 68. They are principles and authorities, and part of the general customs or common law of the land, and are of the same strength as acts of parliament, when the judges have determined what is a maxim; which belongs to the judges and not the jury. Tennes de la Ley; Doct. & Stud. Dial. 1, 0.8. Maxims of the law are holden for law, and all other cases that may be applied to them shall be taken for granted. Coke, Litt. 11, 67 i 4 €oke. See Plowd. 27 b.

3. The application of the maxim to the case before the court is generally the only difficulty. The true method of making the application is to ascertain how the maxim arose, and to consider whether the case to which it is applied is of the same character, or whether it is an exception to an apparently geneml rule.

4. The alterations of any of the maxims of the common law are dangerons. Coke, 2d Inst.210.

The following are some of the more important maxims:

A com"",ni ob.~",anl'"/Z non e.' recedend .. ",. There should be no departure from common obeervlUlce (or usage). Coke, Litt.186 i Wingate, Max. 2031 2 Coke, 74.
