PLEDGE
(bouvier) | PLEDGE or PAWN, contracts. These words seem indifferently used to convey the
same idea. Story on Bailm. Sec. 286.
2. In the civil code of Louisiana, however, they appear not to have
exactly the same meaning. It is there said that pledges are of two kinds,
namely, the pawn, and the antichresis. Louis'. Code, art. 3101.
3. Sir William Jones defines a pledge to be a bailment of goods by a
debtor to his creditor, to be kept till the debt is discharged. Jones'
Bailm. 117; Id. 36. Chancellor Kent, 2 Kent's Com. 449, follows the same
definition, and see 1 Dane's Abr. c. 17, art. 4. Pothier, De Nantissement,
art. prelim. 1, defines it to be a contract by which a debtor gives to his
creditor a thing to detain as security for his debt. The code Napoleon has
adopted this definition, Code Civ. art. 2071, and the Civil Code of
Louisiana has followed it. Louis. Code, 3100. Lord Holt's definition is,
when goods or chattels are delivered to another as a pawn, to be security
for money borrowed of him by the bailor and this, he adds, is called in
Latin vadium, and in English, a pawn or pledge. Ld. Raym. 909, 913.
4. The foregoing definitions are sufficiently descriptive of the nature
of a pawn or pledge but they are in terms limited to cues where a thing is
given as a security for a debt; but a pawn may well be made as security for
any other engagement. 2 Bulst. 306; Pothier, De Nantissement, n. 11. The
definition of Domat is, therefore, more accurate, because it is more
comprehensive, namely, that it is an appropriation of the thing given for
the security of an engagement. Domat, B. 3, tit. 1, Sec. 1, n. 1. And,
according to Judge Story, it may be defined to be a bailment of personal
property, as security for some debt or engagement. Story on Bailm. Sec. 286.
5. The term pledge or pawn is confined to personal property; and where
real or personal property is transferred by a conveyance of the title, as a
security, it is commonly denominated a mortgage.
6. A mortgage of goods is, in the common law, distinguishable from a
mere pawn. By a grant or a conveyance of goods in gage or mortgage, the
whole legal title passes conditionally to the mortgagee; and if not redeemed
at the time stipulated, the title becomes absolute at law, though equity
will interfere to compel a redemption. But in a pledge a special property
only passes to the pledges, the general property remaining in the pledger. 1
Atk. 167; 6 East, 25; 2 Caines' C. Err. 200; 1 Pick. 889; 1 Pet. S. C. B.
449 2 Pick. R. 610; 5 Pick. R. 60; 8. Pick. R. 236; 9 Greenl. R. 82; 2 N. H.
Rep. 13; 5 N. H. Rep. 545; 5 John. R. 258; 8 John. R. 97; 10 John. R. 471; 2
Hall, R. 63; 6 Mass. R. 425; 15 Mass. R. 480. A mortgage may be without
possession, but a pledge cannot be without possession. 5 Pick. 59, 60; and
see 2 Pick. 607.
7. Things which are the subject of pledge or pawn are ordinarily goods
and chattels; but money, negotiable instruments, choses in action, and
indeed any other valuable thing of a personal nature, such as patent-rights
and manuscripts, may, by the common law, be delivered in pledge. 10 Johns.
R. 471, 475; 12 Johns. R. 146; 10 Johns. R. 389; 2 Blackf. R. 198; 7 Greenl.

Err. 200; 1 Dane's Abr. ch. 17, art. 4, Sec. ii. See Louis. Code, art.
3121.
8. It is of the essence of the contract, that there should be an actual
delivery of the thing. 6 Mass. 422; 15 Mass. 477 14 Mass. 352; 2 Caines' C.
Err. 200; 2 Kent's Com. 452; Bac. Abr. Bailment, B; 2 Rolle R. 439; 6 Pick.
R. 59, 60; Pothier, De Nantissement, n. 8, 9; Louis. Code, 3129. What will
amount to a delivery, is matter of law. See Delivery.
9. It is essential that the thing should be delivered as a security for
some debt or engagement. Story on Bailm. Sec. 300. And see 3 Cranch, 73; 7
Cranch, 34; 2 John. Ch. R. 309; 1 Atk. 236; Prec. in Ch. 419; 2 Vern. 691;
Gilb. Eq. R. 104; 6 Mass. 339; Pothier, Nantissement, n. 12; Civ. Code of
Lo. art. 3119; Code Civ. art. 2076.
10. In virtue of the pawn the pawnee acquires, by the common law, a
special property in the thing, and is entitled to the possession of it
exclusively, during the time and for the objects for which it is pledged. 2
Bl. Com. 396; Jones' Bailm. 80; Owen R. 123, 124; 1 Bulst. 29; Yelv. 178
Cro. Jac. 244; 2 Ld. Raym. 909, 916; Bac. Abr. Bailment, B; 1 Dane's Abr.
ch. 17, art. 4, SSSS 1, 6; Code Civ. art. 2082; Civ. Code of Lo. art. 3131.
And he has a right to sell the pledge, when there has been a default in the
pledger in complying with his engagement. Such a default does not divest the
general property of the pawner, but still leaves him a right of redemption.
But if the, pledge is not redeemed within the stipulated time, by a due
performance of the contract for which it is a security, the pawnee has then
a right to sell it, in order to have his debt or indemnity. And if there is
no stipulated time for the payment of the debt, but the pledge is for an
indefinite period, the pawnee has a right, upon request, to a prompt
fulfillment of the agreement; and if the pawner refuses to comply, the
pawnee may, upon demand and notice to the pawner, require the pawn to be
sold. 2 Kent's Com. 452; Story on Bailm. 308.
11. The pawnee is bound to use ordinary diligence in keeping the pawn,
and consequently is liable for ordinary neglect in keeping it. Jones' Bailm.
75; 2 Kent's Com. 451; 1 Dane's Abr. ch. 17, art. 12; 2 Ld. Raym, 909, 916;
Domat B 1, tit. 1, Sec. 4, n. 1.
12. The pawner has the right of redemption. If the pledge is conveyed by
way of mortgage, and thus passes the legal title, unless he redeems the
pledge at a stipulated time, the title of the pledge becomes absolute at
law; and the pledger has no remedy at law, but only a remedy in equity to
redeem. 2 Ves. Jr. 378; 2 Caines' C. Err. 200. If, however, the transaction
is not a transfer of ownership, but a mere pledge, as the pledger has never
parted with the general title, he may, at law, redeem, notwithstanding he
has not strictly complied with the condition of his contract. Com. Dig.
Mortgage, B; 1 Pow. on Mortg. by Coventry & Land. 401, and notes, ibid. See
further, as to the pawner's right of redemption, Story on Bailm. Sec. 345 to
349.
13. By the act of pawning, the pawner enters into an implied agreement
or warranty that he is the owner of the property pawned, and that he has a
good right to pass the title. Story on Bailm. Sec. 354.
14. As to the manner of extinguishing the contract of pledge or mortgage
of personal property, see Story on Bailm. 359 to 366.

DEAD-PLEDGE
(bouvier) | DEAD-PLEDGE. A mortgage of lands or goods - mortuum vadium.
|
PLEDGE
(bouvier) | PLEDGE or PAWN, contracts. These words seem indifferently used to convey the
same idea. Story on Bailm. Sec. 286.
2. In the civil code of Louisiana, however, they appear not to have
exactly the same meaning. It is there said that pledges are of two kinds,
namely, the pawn, and the antichresis. Louis'. Code, art. 3101.
3. Sir William Jones defines a pledge to be a bailment of goods by a
debtor to his creditor, to be kept till the debt is discharged. Jones'
Bailm. 117; Id. 36. Chancellor Kent, 2 Kent's Com. 449, follows the same
definition, and see 1 Dane's Abr. c. 17, art. 4. Pothier, De Nantissement,
art. prelim. 1, defines it to be a contract by which a debtor gives to his
creditor a thing to detain as security for his debt. The code Napoleon has
adopted this definition, Code Civ. art. 2071, and the Civil Code of
Louisiana has followed it. Louis. Code, 3100. Lord Holt's definition is,
when goods or chattels are delivered to another as a pawn, to be security
for money borrowed of him by the bailor and this, he adds, is called in
Latin vadium, and in English, a pawn or pledge. Ld. Raym. 909, 913.
4. The foregoing definitions are sufficiently descriptive of the nature
of a pawn or pledge but they are in terms limited to cues where a thing is
given as a security for a debt; but a pawn may well be made as security for
any other engagement. 2 Bulst. 306; Pothier, De Nantissement, n. 11. The
definition of Domat is, therefore, more accurate, because it is more
comprehensive, namely, that it is an appropriation of the thing given for
the security of an engagement. Domat, B. 3, tit. 1, Sec. 1, n. 1. And,
according to Judge Story, it may be defined to be a bailment of personal
property, as security for some debt or engagement. Story on Bailm. Sec. 286.
5. The term pledge or pawn is confined to personal property; and where
real or personal property is transferred by a conveyance of the title, as a
security, it is commonly denominated a mortgage.
6. A mortgage of goods is, in the common law, distinguishable from a
mere pawn. By a grant or a conveyance of goods in gage or mortgage, the
whole legal title passes conditionally to the mortgagee; and if not redeemed
at the time stipulated, the title becomes absolute at law, though equity
will interfere to compel a redemption. But in a pledge a special property
only passes to the pledges, the general property remaining in the pledger. 1

Hall, R. 63; 6 Mass. R. 425; 15 Mass. R. 480. A mortgage may be without
possession, but a pledge cannot be without possession. 5 Pick. 59, 60; and
see 2 Pick. 607.
7. Things which are the subject of pledge or pawn are ordinarily goods
and chattels; but money, negotiable instruments, choses in action, and
indeed any other valuable thing of a personal nature, such as patent-rights
and manuscripts, may, by the common law, be delivered in pledge. 10 Johns.

delivery of the thing. 6 Mass. 422; 15 Mass. 477 14 Mass. 352; 2 Caines' C.

R. 59, 60; Pothier, De Nantissement, n. 8, 9; Louis. Code, 3129. What will
amount to a delivery, is matter of law. See Delivery.
9. It is essential that the thing should be delivered as a security for
some debt or engagement. Story on Bailm. Sec. 300. And see 3 Cranch, 73; 7
Cranch, 34; 2 John. Ch. R. 309; 1 Atk. 236; Prec. in Ch. 419; 2 Vern. 691;
Gilb. Eq. R. 104; 6 Mass. 339; Pothier, Nantissement, n. 12; Civ. Code of
Lo. art. 3119; Code Civ. art. 2076.
10. In virtue of the pawn the pawnee acquires, by the common law, a
special property in the thing, and is entitled to the possession of it
exclusively, during the time and for the objects for which it is pledged. 2
Bl. Com. 396; Jones' Bailm. 80; Owen R. 123, 124; 1 Bulst. 29; Yelv. 178
Cro. Jac. 244; 2 Ld. Raym. 909, 916; Bac. Abr. Bailment, B; 1 Dane's Abr.
ch. 17, art. 4, SSSS 1, 6; Code Civ. art. 2082; Civ. Code of Lo. art. 3131.
And he has a right to sell the pledge, when there has been a default in the
pledger in complying with his engagement. Such a default does not divest the
general property of the pawner, but still leaves him a right of redemption.
But if the, pledge is not redeemed within the stipulated time, by a due
performance of the contract for which it is a security, the pawnee has then
a right to sell it, in order to have his debt or indemnity. And if there is
no stipulated time for the payment of the debt, but the pledge is for an
indefinite period, the pawnee has a right, upon request, to a prompt
fulfillment of the agreement; and if the pawner refuses to comply, the
pawnee may, upon demand and notice to the pawner, require the pawn to be
sold. 2 Kent's Com. 452; Story on Bailm. 308.
11. The pawnee is bound to use ordinary diligence in keeping the pawn,
and consequently is liable for ordinary neglect in keeping it. Jones' Bailm.
75; 2 Kent's Com. 451; 1 Dane's Abr. ch. 17, art. 12; 2 Ld. Raym, 909, 916;
Domat B 1, tit. 1, Sec. 4, n. 1.
12. The pawner has the right of redemption. If the pledge is conveyed by
way of mortgage, and thus passes the legal title, unless he redeems the
pledge at a stipulated time, the title of the pledge becomes absolute at
law; and the pledger has no remedy at law, but only a remedy in equity to
redeem. 2 Ves. Jr. 378; 2 Caines' C. Err. 200. If, however, the transaction
is not a transfer of ownership, but a mere pledge, as the pledger has never
parted with the general title, he may, at law, redeem, notwithstanding he
has not strictly complied with the condition of his contract. Com. Dig.
Mortgage, B; 1 Pow. on Mortg. by Coventry & Land. 401, and notes, ibid. See
further, as to the pawner's right of redemption, Story on Bailm. Sec. 345 to
349.
13. By the act of pawning, the pawner enters into an implied agreement
or warranty that he is the owner of the property pawned, and that he has a
good right to pass the title. Story on Bailm. Sec. 354.
14. As to the manner of extinguishing the contract of pledge or mortgage
of personal property, see Story on Bailm. 359 to 366.

every one who becomes bail for another is a pledge. 4 Inst. 180 Com. Dig. B.
