Hundred LAW AND LEGAL

Definition:

Under the Saxon orgauiza-tion of England, each county or shire corn-prised an indefinite number of hundreds, each hundred containing ten titMngs, or groups of ten families of freeholders or frank-pledges. The hundred was governed by a high constable, and had its own conrt; but its most remarkable feature was the corporate responsibility of the whole for the crimes or defaults of the Individual members. The introduction of this plan of or-ganization into England is commonly ascrib-ed to Alfred, but the idea, as well of the collective liability as of the division, was prob-ably known to the ancient German peoples, as we find the 6ame thing established in the Frankish kingdom under Clothaire, and in Denmark. See 1 BL Comm. 115; 4 BL Comm. 411

A fellow finds himself in front of the Pearly Gates. St. Peter explains that its not so easy to get in heaven. There are some criteria before entry is allowed.For example, was the man religious in life? Attend church? No? St. Peter told him that's bad.Was he generous? give money to the poor? Charities? No? St. Peter told him that that too was bad.Did he do any good deeds? Help his neighbor? Anything? No? St. Peter was becoming concerned.Exasperated, Peter says, "Look, everybody does something nice sometime. Work with me, I'm trying to help. Now think!" The man says, "There was this old lady. I came out of a store and found her surrounded by a dozen Hell's Angels. They had taken her purse and were shoving her around, taunting and abusing her.I got so mad I threw my bags down, fought through the crowd, and got her purse back. I then helped her to her feet. I t hen went up to the biggest, baddest biker and told him how despicable, cowardly and mean he was and then spat in his face". "Wow", said Peter, "That's impressive. When did this happen"? "Oh, about 10 minutes ago", replied the man.
