Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, "Demijohn" to "Destructors" - Volume 8, Slice 2

DEMIJOHN, a glass bottle or jar with a large round body and narrow neck, encased in wicker-work and provided with handles. The word is also used of an erthenware jar, similarly covered with wicker. The capacity of a demijohn varies from two to twelve gallons, but the common size contains five gallons. According to the New English Dictionary the word is an adaptation of a French Dame Jeanne, or Dame Jane, an application of a personal name to an object which is not uncommon; cf. the use of Toby for a particular form of jug and the many uses of the name Jack. DEMISE, an Anglo-French legal term (from the Fr. dmettre, Lat. dimittere, to send away) for a transfer of an estate, especially by lease. The word has an operative effect in a lease implying a covenant for quiet enjoyment (see Landlord and Tenant). The phrase demise of the crown is used in English law to signify the immediate transfer of the sovereignty, with all its attributes and prerogatives, to the successor without any interregnum in accordance with the maxim the king never dies. At common law the death of the sovereign eo facto dissolved parliament, but this was abolished by the Representation of the People Act 1867, 51. Similarly the common law doctrine that all offices held under the crown determined at its demise has been negatived by the Demise of the Crown Act 1901. Demise is thus often used loosely for death or decease. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
