FORFEITURE
(bouvier)
FORFEITURE, punishment, torts. Forfeiture is a punishment annexed by law to
some illegal act, or negligence, in the owner of lands, tenements, or
hereditaments, whereby he loses all his interest therein, and they become
vested in the party injured, as a recompense for the wrong which he alone,
or the Public together with himself, hath sustained. 2 Bl. Com. 267.
2. Lands, tenements and hereditaments, may be forfeited by various
means: 1. By the commission of crimes and misdemeanors. 2. By alienation
contrary to law. 3. By the non-performance of conditions. 4. By waste.
3. - 1. Forfeiture for crimes. By the Constitution of the United
States, art. 3, s. 3, it is declared that no attainder of treason shall work
corruption of blood, or forfeiture, except during the life of the person
attainted. And by the Act of April 30, 1790, s. 24, 1 Story's Laws U. S. 88,
it is enacted, that no conviction or judgment for any of the offences
aforesaid, shall work corruption of blood, or any forfeiture of estate. As
the offences punished by this act are of the blackest dye, including cases
of treason, the punishment of forfeiture may be considered as being
abolished. The forfeiture of the estate for crime is very much reduced in
practice in this country, and when it occurs, the stater takes the title the
party had, and no more. 4 Mason's R. 174; Dalrymple on Feudal Property, c.
4, p. 145-154; Fost. C. L. 95.
4. - 2. Forfeiture by alienation. By the English law, estates less than
a fee may be forfeited to the party entitled to the residuary interest by a
breach of duty in the owner of the particular estate. When a tenant for life
or years, therefore, by feoffment, fine, or recovery, conveys a greater
estate than he is by law entitled to do, he forfeits his estate to the
person next entitled in remainder or reversion. 2 Bl. Com. 274. In this
country, such forfeitures are almost unknown, and the more just principle
prevails, that the conveyance by the tenant operates only on the interest
which he possessed, and does not affect the remainder-man or reversioner. 4
Kent, Com. 81, 82, 424; 1 Hill. Ab. c. 4, s. 25 to 34; 3 Dall. Rep. 486; 5
Ohio, R. 30.
5. - 3. Forfeiture by non-performance of conditions. An estate may be
forfeited by a breach, or non-performance of a condition annexed to the
estate, either expressed in the deed at its original creation, or impliedly
by law, from a principle of natural reason. 2 Bl. Com. 281; and see Ad
Eject. 140 to 173. Vide article Reentry; 12 Serg. & Rawle, 190.
6. - 4. Forfeiture by waste. Waste is also a cause of forfeiture. 2 Bl.
Com. 283. Vide article Waste.
7. By forfeiture is also understood the neglect of an obligor to fulfill

his obligation in proper time: as, when one has entered into a bond for a
penal sum, upon condition to pay a smaller at a particular day, and he fails
to do it, there is then said to be a forfeiture. Again, when a party becomes
bound in a certain sum by a recognizance to pay a certain sum, with a
condition that he will appear at court to answer or prosecute a crime, and
he fails to do it, there is a forfeiture of the recognizance. Courts of
equity, and now courts, of law, will relieve from the forfeiture of a bond;
and upon a proper case shown, criminal courts will in general relieve from
the forfeiture of a recognizance to appear. See 3 Yeates, 93; 2 Wash. C. C.

FORFEITURE OF MARRIAGE
(bouvier)
FORFEITURE OF MARRIAGE, Old law. The name of a penalty formerly incurred by
a ward in chivalry, when he or she married contrary to the wishes of his or
her guardian in chivalry. The latter, who was the ward's lord, had an
interest in controlling the marriage of his female wards, and he could exact
a price for his consent and, at length, it became customary to sell the
marriage of wards of both sexes. 2 Bl. Com. 70.
2. When a male ward refused an equal match provided by his guardian, he
was obliged, on coming of age, to pay him the value of the marriage; that
is, as much as he had been bona fide offered for it; or, if the guardian
chose, as much as a jury would assess, taking into consideration all the
real and personal property of the ward; and the guardian could claim this
value, although he might have made no tender of the marriage. Co. Litt. 82
a; 2 Inst. 92 5 Co: 126 b; 6 Co. 70 b.
3. When a male ward between his age of fourteen and twenty-one years,
refused to accept an offer of an equal match, and during that period formed
an alliance elsewhere, without his permission, he incurred forfeiture of
marriage; that is, he became liable to pay double the value of, the,
marriage. Co. Litt. 78 b, 82 b.
