Excerpt from Select Cases and Other Authorities on the Law of Property, Vol. 1 This Collection of Cases is prepared for the convenience of students in the Law School of Harvard University. The head-notes are always, and the arguments generally, omitted. As one of the main objects in the study of cases is to acquire skill and confidence in extracting the ratio decidendi, the omission of head-notes from a collection like this is an essential part of the Scheme. To thrust before the eyes of a student of law the answer to the problem contained in a case is like telling a stu dent in arithmetic the answer to his sum before he does it, with the additional disadvantage that the answer in the head-note is often wrong. On the other hand, the omission of the arguments is an evil, but a necessary one. To have retained them would either have compelled the exclusion of many valuable cases, or else have swollen the size and expense of volumes already larger and more costly than I could wish. With the exception of the head-notes and arguments, and of a few passages the omission of which is duly noted, the cases are reprinted literally from the reports but I have striven after some consistency in the use of capitals and italics, and where a citation was obviously wrong, I have corrected it.

Excerpt from Select Cases and Other Authorities on the Law of Property, Vol. 5 Lit. 325. Estates which men have in lands or tenements upon condition are of two sorts, viz., either they have estate upon condition in deed, or upon condition in law, &c. Upon condition m deed is, as if a man by deed indented enfeoffs another in fee simple, reserving to him and his heirs yearly a certain rent payable at one feast or divers feasts per annum, on condition that if the rent be behind, &c., that it shall be lawful for the feoffor and his heirs into the same lands or tenements to enter, &c. And if it happen the rent to be behind by a week after any day of payment of it, or by a month after any day of payment of it, or by half a year, &c., that then it shall be lawful to the feoffor and his heirs to enter, &c. In these cases if the rent be not paid at such time, or before such time limited and specified within the condition comprised in the indenture, then may the feoffor or his heirs enter into such lands or tenements, and them in his former estate to have and hold, and the feoffee quite to oust thereof. And it is called an estate upon condition, because that the state of the feoffee is defeasible, if the condition be not performed, &c. Lit. 326. In the same manner it is if lands be given in tail, or let for term of life or of years, upon condition, &c.
