186. lappuse - A base, or qualified fee, is such a one as hath a qualification subjoined thereto, and which must be determined whenever the qualification annexed to it is at an end. As, in the case of a grant to A. and his heirs, tenants of the manor of Dale; in this instance, whenever the heirs of A. cease to be tenants of that manor, the grant is entirely defeated.

242. lappuse - I have seen the walls of Balclutha, but they were desolate. The fire had resounded in the halls: and the voice of the people is heard no more. The stream of Clutha was removed from its place, by the fall of the walls. The thistle shook there its lonely head: the moss whistled to the wind.

186. lappuse - This estate is a fee, because by possibility, it may endure for ever in a man and his heirs ; yet as that duration depends upon the concurrence of collateral circumstances which qualify and debase the purity of the donation, it is therefore a qualified or base fee.
198. lappuse - So that upon the whole the only adequate definition of felony seems to be that which is before laid down; viz. an offence which occasions a total forfeiture of either lands, or goods, or both, at the common law; and to which capital or other punishment may be superadded, according to the degree of guilt.
33. lappuse - He was also an excellent classical scholar, and could repeat the jEneid of Virgil from the beginning to the end, and indicate the first and last line of every page of the edition he used.
342. lappuse - ... vested in the crown; and also the profits of all lands and tenements, which he had in his own right for life or years, so long...
176. lappuse - On the 15th of August, 1643, as I stood at my window, I was surprised with a most wonderful, delectable vision. The sea that washes the Sicilian shore swelled up, and became, for ten miles in length, like a chain of dark mountains ; while the waters near our Calabrian coast grew quite smooth, and in an instant appeared as one clear polished mirror, reclining against the aforesaid ridge.
185. lappuse - This is likewise always the case of a parson of a church, who hath only an estate therein for the term of his life ; and the inheritance remains in abeyance.
