PRINCIPLES OF CONVEYANCING.

INTRODUCTION.

work.

THE object of this work is, first, to present to the Object of the student an elementary view of the various forms of ownership of land which exist at the present day, with their rights and incidents; and, next, to examine the simpler forms of instruments used in transferring land from one person to another.

Land acquired, from an early date, the name of Land known as Real Property. Real Property. For, since it is immovable, the owner of it could always recover the thing (res) itself from any person who had wrongfully deprived him of it; whilst in respect of movable property, such as furniture or money, his only remedy was to bring an action for damages against the person (persona) who had done him the wrong, and such property was, accordingly, distinguished as personal property.

Land, again, and many kinds of property connected Hereditawith land, are said in legal phrase to consist of here- ments. ditaments, because when an owner of them dies without having disposed of them by his will, the law transfers his ownership to a person, selected in accordance with certain fixed rules, who is known as the heir (heres) of the deceased. Hereditaments are of two kinds, Corporeal and Incorporeal. Corporeal Corporeal hereditaments have been defined as those which affect

incorporeal, as those which are not the object of sen-
sation, can neither be seen nor handled, are creatures
of the mind, and exist only in contemplation (a). In
other words, corporeal hereditaments comprise land,
and tangible property annexed to and forming part
of land; whilst incorporeal hereditaments consist of
rights derived from the ownership of land; such, for
example, as the right of presentation to an ecclesias-
tical benefice, a right of way, and many others. Of
these incorporeal hereditaments some will be con-
sidered, incidentally, in various parts of this work;
but we do not propose, except to that extent, to treat
of this particular subject. And since the special way
in which a man owns corporeal hereditaments is
called (for a reason which will be explained hereafter)
his estate in them, it follows that estates in corporeal
hereditaments and modes of assurance relating to them
are alone to be the direct object of our attention.

There is one form of estate in land which does not in the event of its owner's intestacy go to his heir. This is the limited ownership which arises when a person is entitled to the use of land for a term of years, and which is considered by the law as personal, and not as real, property. Such property is, however, so closely connected with land, that it may be appropriately included amongst the subjects of a work which does not otherwise deal with personal property.

A knowledge of the law relating to estates in land acquaintance would be insufficient unless accompanied by a slight tenures of land. acquaintance with the causes which brought about a gradual change in their characteristics. These causes can only be ascertained by studying the history of the ownership of land, and of the modifications which from time to time took place in it. The system
