livery in deed
(gcide) | Livery \Liv"er*y\, n.; pl. Liveries. [OE. livere, F.
livr['e]e, formerly, a gift of clothes made by the master to
his servants, prop., a thing delivered, fr. livrer to
deliver, L. liberare to set free, in LL., to deliver up. See
Liberate.]
1. (Eng. Law)
(a) The act of delivering possession of lands or
tenements.
(b) The writ by which possession is obtained.
[1913 Webster]
Note: It is usual to say, livery of seizin, which is a
feudal investiture, made by the delivery of a turf, of
a rod, a twig, or a key from the feoffor to the feoffee
as a symbol of delivery of the whole property. There
was a distinction of livery in deed when this
ceremony was performed on the property being
transferred, and livery in law when performed in
sight of the property, but not on it. In the United
States, and now in Great Britain, no such ceremony is
necessary, the delivery of a deed being sufficient as a
livery of seizin, regardless of where performed.
--Black's 4th Ed.
[1913 Webster +PJC]

[1913 Webster]

(c) Hence, also, the peculiar dress or garb appropriated
by any association or body of persons to their own
use; as, the livery of the London tradesmen, of a
priest, of a charity school, etc.; also, the whole
body or company of persons wearing such a garb, and
entitled to the privileges of the association; as, the
whole livery of London.

Of a solempne and a gret fraternite. --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

well enough, namely, that is, allowance of horse
meat, as to keep horses at livery, the which
word, I guess, is derived of livering or

the ration or stated portion of food delivered
