INFANTS' PROPERTY ACT 1830 - SECT 2

Rules for the interpretation of this Act.

2. And inasmuch as, in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, certain words
are used in this Act as describing subjects some of which, according to their
usual sense, such words would not embrace: For the understanding of the sense
attached to them in this Act, be it further enacted, that the provisions of
this Act shall extend and be understood to extend to and include the several
other estates, persons, matters, and things herein-after mentioned; (that is
to say,) those relating to land, to any manor, messuage, tenement,
hereditament, or real property of whatsoever tenure, and to property of every
description transferable otherwise than in books kept by any company or
society, or any share thereof or charge thereon, or estate or interest
therein; those relating to stock, to any fund, annuity, or security
transferable in books kept by any company or society, or to any money payable
for the discharge or redemption thereof, or any share or interest therein;
those relating to dividends, to interest or other annual produce; those
relating to the Bank of England, to ... any other company or society
established or to be established; those relating to a conveyance, to any
release, surrender, assignment, or other assurance, including all acts, deeds,
and things necessary for making and perfecting the same; those relating to a
transfer, to any assignment, payment, or other disposition; ... unless there
be something in the subject or context repugnant to such construction; and
whenever this Act, in describing or referring to any person, or any land,
stock, conveyance, lease, recovery, matter, or thing, uses the word importing
the singular number or the masculine gender only, the same shall be understood
to include, and shall be applied to several persons as well as one person, and
females as well as males, and bodies corporate as well as individuals, and
several lands, stocks, conveyances, leases, recoveries, matters, or things, as
well as one land, stock, conveyance, lease, recovery, matter, or thing
