From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  EXPIRATION. Cessation; end. As, the expiration of, a lease, of a contract, 
  or statute. 
       2. In general, the expiration of a contract puts an end to all the 
  engagements of the parties, except to those which arise from the non-
  fulfillment of obligations created during its existence. For example, the 
  expiration of a partnership so dissolves it, that the parties cannot in 
  general create any new liability, but it still subsists, to enable the 
  parties to fulfill engagements in which the partners have engaged, or to 
  compel others to perform their obligations towards them. See Dissolution; 
  Contracts. 
       3. When a statute is limited as to time, it expires by mere lapse of 
  time, and then it has no force whatever; and, if such a statute repealed or 
  supplied a former statute, the first statute is, i so facto, revived by the 
  expiration of the repealing statute; 6 Whart. 294; 1 Bland, R. 664 unless it 
  appear that such was not the intention of the legislature. 3 East, 212 Bac. 
  Ab. Statute, D.
