CONTINGENT ESTATE.-See CONTINGENCY, 21. these contingent or springing uses (for they have been called by both epithets, and without any great inconsistency, although it creates difficulty in regard to their distinctive classification,) differ from executory devises, which latter do not require any particular estate to support them; that by them a fee-simple or other less estate may be limited after a fee-simple, and that a remainder may be limited of a chattel interest after a particular estate for life created in the same. The following is an example of a contingent CONTINGENT ESTATE, (defined). 4 Abb. use: A use to the first unborn son of A., (N. Y.) App. Dec. 218. after a previous limitation to A. for life or for years, determinable on his life; for this does not answer to the notion of either a Cui jurisdictio data est, ea quoque concessa esse videntur, sine quibus jurisdictio explicari non potest (Dig. 2,1,2): To whomsoever a jurisdiction is given, those things also are supposed to be granted, without which the jurisdiction cannot be exercised. Cui jus est donandi, eidem et vendendi et concedendi jus est (Dig. 50, 17, 163): He who has the right of giving has also the right of selling and granting. Cui licet quod majus (or magnus) non debet quod minus est non licere (4 Co. 23): He who has authority to do the more important act shall not be debarted from doing that of less importance. Cuicunque aliquis quid concedit concedere videtur et id, sine quo res ipsa esse non potuit (11 Co. 52): Whoever grants anything to another is supposed to grant that also without which the thing itself would be of no effect. Cuilibet in sua arte perito est credendum: Each one skilled in his own art is to be believed. Thus, medical men and other skilled witnesses may give their opinion in evidence as to the state or condition of a patient, or thing at any particular time. Cuilibet licet juri pro se introducto renunciare: Any one may waive or renounce the benefit of a principle or rule of law that exists only for his protection; e. g. an ambassador may waive his extra-territoriality or exemption from the jurisdiction of the local courts, a wit ness may waive his privilege, and generally a party may waive any relief to which he is entiiled when successful in an action, e. g. his right to costs out of the other or defeated party. to dispose; or, as Broom says, "The bestower of a gift has a right to regulate its disposal." This rule is a general one, and is considerably curtailed and qualified at the present time, especially so by the acts which restrict and regulate the tying up of real estate, and accumulation of personal property beyond specified periods. Cujus est divisio alterius est electio (Co. Litt. 166): When one has the division, the other has the choice. Cujus est instituere ejus est abrogare (Broom Max.

Litt. 4): Whose is the soil, his it is even to heaven and to the middle of the earth. Thus, upon a conveyance of land, simpliciter, buildings and timber being thereon will also pass, as also the mines thereunder, "donec probeter in contrarium" (i. e. until the contrary is proved). Property, however, must be so used and enjoyed as not to injure or prejudice the rights of adjoining owners, as by overhanging buildings. Cujus juris (i. e. jurisdictionis) est principale, ejusdem juris erit accessorium (2 Inst. 493): An accessory matter is subject to the same jurisdiction as its principal. Cujus per errorem dati repetitio est, ejus consulto dati donatio est (Dig. 50, 17, 53): He who gives a thing by mistake, has a right to recover it back; but if he gives designedly, it is a gift. Cujusque rei potissima pars est principium (Dig. 1, 2, 1; 10 Co. 49a): The chiefest part of everything is the beginning. See, also, DAYS OF GRACE; WITHOUT DAY.) In the definition of burglary, however, night generally means the time between 9 P. M. and 6 A. M. of the day are set down.
