IV INTRODUCTORY.<br />

" antecedent-" rights in personam. Such rights, according<br />

to Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Holland (Jurisprudence, 9th ed. 231),<br />

are divisible, according to the investitive fact to which<br />

they owe their origin, into two great classes. They<br />

arise, or do not arise, out <strong>of</strong> a contract. In the former<br />

case they are described as rights " ex contractu" In the<br />

latter case, since they arise from facts <strong>of</strong> various kinds<br />

to which it pleases the law to affix similar results, he<br />

describes as rights " ex lege" The latter he subdivides<br />

into four classes which he distinguishes as—i. Domestic;<br />

ii. Fiduciary; iii. Meritorious; and iv. Official; treating<br />

<strong>of</strong> trusts under the second <strong>of</strong> these subdivisions.
