Note 178 — Book VI.

Feodum. This word, which has frequently occurred in our progress through Glanville, has given the name to a system. The reader has no doubt perused Mr. Justice Blackstone’s account of it, (2 Comm. 44.) and the luminous Annotation which Mr. Butler has subjoined to Co. Litt. (Note to 199. a.) It may not be amiss briefly to mention the leading divisions of Feuds, as the Reader in the course of these pages will find some of these divisions mentioned, and others alluded to. 1. In proprium et Improprium. 2. In francum et non francum. 3. In masculinum et femininum. 4. In reale et personale. 5. In laicum et ecclesiasticum. 6. In antiquum et novum. 7. In nobile et ignobile. 8. In ligium et non ligium. 9. In simplex et conditionatum. 10. In divisibile et Indivisibile. (Craig de Jur. Feud. sparsim.)
