UPPER HOSE [4 records]

Record 1 2022-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Clothing
  • Military Dress
CONT

Stockings(or hose) or hose tops were... worn on the lower leg. The hose tops were a derivation of the knitted stockings which emerged not from tradition but convenience. When the toes and heels of a soldier's stockings wore away he would cut them back until eventually he would be left with a saddle where the sole of his stocking once was. When this too wore away he was left with nothing but the upper portion of his stocking, preserved today as hose tops, an item of dress still issued to highland soldiers in the modern Australian army.

OBS

hose top: designation usually used in the plural.

[T] hose parts of the earth which are capable of being got from underneath the surface for the purpose of profit. The term therefore includes coal, metal ores of all kinds, stone, slate, and coprolites, but not the common clay, sand, or gravel found in the upper soil. It includes all substances of commercial value which can be got from beneath the earth, either by mining or quarrying, except common clay or sandstone.(Jowitt, 2nd ed. 1977, pp. 1184-1185).

CONT

Unless there is something in the context or in the nature of the transaction itself which would induce a court to give it a more limited meaning, the word "minerals" includes oil and gas. (Di Castri, Law of Vendor and Purchaser, 3rd ed., 1988, p. 12-40).
