Odger's English Common Law

D RIGHTS.
(v.) A right attaching to an office, and personal to the
present holder of that office and to him alone. Thus a
judge, sheriff, mayor or policeman has rights which a
private citizen does not possess.
(vi.) A right arising out of family or other relationship.
Thus parent and child, husband and wife, guardian and
ward, have mutual rights, which are discussed under the
Law of Persons. 1
