RELEASE
(bouvier) | RELEASE, estates. The "conveyance of a man's interest or right, which he
hath unto a thing, to another that hath the possession thereof, or some
estate therein." Touch. 320.
2. The words generally used in such conveyance, are, "remised,
released, and forever quit claimed." Litt. sec, 445.
3. Releases of land are, in respect of their operation, divided into
four sorts. 1. Releases that enure by way of passing the estate, or mitter
l'estate. (q.v.) 2. Releases that enure by way of passing the right, or
mitter le droit. 3. Releases that enure by enlargement of the estate; and
4. Releases that enure by way of extinguishment. Vide 4 Cruise, 71; Co.
Lit. 264; 3 Marsh. Decis. 185; Gilb. Ten. 82; 2 Sumn. R. 487; 10 Pick. R.

RELEASE
(bouvier) | RELEASE. Releases are of two kinds. 1. Such as give up, discharge, or
abandon a right of action. 2. Such as convey a man's interest or right to
another, who has possession of it, or some estate in the same. Touch. 320;
Litt. sec. 444; Nels. Ab. h.t.; Bac. Ab. h.t.; Vin. Ab. h.t.; Rolle's Ab.
h.t.; Com. Dig. h.t.
|
RELEASE
(bouvier) | RELEASE, contracts. A release is the giving or discharging of a right of
action which a man has or may claim against another, or that which is his.
Touch. 320 Bac. Ab. h.t.; Co. Litt. 264 a.
2. This kind of a release is different from that which is used for the
purpose of convoying real estate. Here a mere right is surrendered; in the
other case not only a right is given up, but an interest in the estate is
conveyed, and becomes vested in the release.
3. Releases may be considered, as to their form, their different kinds,
and their effect. Sec. 1. The operative words of a release are remise,
release, quitclaim, discharge and acquit; but other words will answer the
purpose. Sid. 265; Cro. Jac. 696; 9 Co. 52; Show. 331.
4.-Sec. 2. Releases are either express, or releases in deed; or those
arising by operation of law. An express release is one which is distinctly
made in the deed; a release by operation of law, is one which, though not
expressly made, the law presumes in consequence of some act of, the
releasor; for instance, when, one of several joint obligors is expressly
released, the others are also released by operation of law. 3 Salk. 298.
Hob. 10; Id. 66; Noy, 62; 4 Mod. 380; 7 Johns. Rep. 207.
5. A release may also be implied; as, if a creditor voluntarily deliver
to his debtor the bond, note, or other evidence of his claim. And when the
debtor is in possession of such security, it will be presumed that it has
been delivered to him. Poth. Obl. n. 608, 609.
6.-Sec. 3. As to their effect, releases 1st, acquit the releasee: and
2dly, enable him to be examined as a witness.
7.-1st. Littleton says a release of all demands is the best and
strongest release. Sect. 508. Lord Coke, on the contrary, says claims is a
stronger word. Co. Litt. 291 b.
8. In general the words of a release will he restrained by the
particular occasion of giving it. 3 Lev. 273; 1 Show. 151: 2 Mod. 108, n.; 2
Show. 47; T. Raym. 399 3 Mod. 277; Palm. 218; 1 Lev. 235.
9. The reader is referred to the following cases where a construction
has been given to the expressions mentioned. A release of "all actions,
suits and demands," 3 Mod. 277: "all actions, debts, duties, and demands,"
Ibid. 1 and 64; 3 Mod. 185; 8 Co. 150 b; 2 Saund. 6 a; all demands," 5 Co.
70, b; 2 Mod. 281; 3 Mod 278; 1 Lev. 99; Salk. 578; 2 Rolle's Rep. 12 Mod.
465; 2 Conn. Rep. 120; "all actions, quarrels, trespasses" Dy. 2171 pl. 2;
Cro. Jac. 487; "all errors, and all actions, suits, and writs of error
whatsoever," T. Ray. 3 99 all suits," 8 Co. 150 of covenants," 5 Co. 70 b.
10.-2d. A release by a witness where he has an interest in the matter
which is the subject of the suit or release by the party on whose side he is
interested, renders him competent. 1 Phil. Ev. 102, and the cases cited in
n. a. Vide 2 Chitt. It. 329; 1 D. & R. 361; Harr. Dig. h.t.; Bouv. Inst.

LEASE AND RELEASE
(bouvier) | LEASE AND RELEASE. A species of conveyance, invented by Serjeant Moore, soon
after the enactment of the statute of uses. It is thus contrived; a lease,
or rather bargain and sale, upon some pecuniary consideration, for one year,
is made by the tenant of the freehold to the lessee or bargainee. This,
without any enrollment, makes the bargainor stand seised to the use of the
bargainee, and vests in the bargainee the use of the term for one year, and
then the statute immediately annexes the possession. Being thus in
possession, he is capable of receiving a release of the freehold and
reversion, which must be made to the tenant in possession; and, accordingly,
the next day a release is granted to him.
2. The lease and release, when used as a conveyance of the fee, have
the joint operation of a single conveyance. 2 Bl. Com. 339; 4 Kent, Com.
482; Co. Litt. 207; Cruise, Dig. tit. 32, c. 11.

4. Releases that enure by way of extinguishment. Vide 4 Cruise, 71; Co.
Lit. 264; 3 Marsh. Decis. 185; Gilb. Ten. 82; 2 Sumn. R. 487; 10 Pick. R.
195; 10 John. R. 456; 7 Mass. R. 381; 8 Pick. R. 143; 5 Har. & John. 158; N.
H. Rep. 402; Paige's R. 299.
RELEASE. Releases are of two kinds. 1. Such as give up, discharge, or
abandon a right of action. 2. Such as convey a man's interest or right to
another, who has possession of it, or some estate in the same. Touch. 320;
Litt. sec. 444; Nels. Ab. h.t.; Bac. Ab. h.t.; Vin. Ab. h.t.; Rolle's Ab.
h.t.; Com. Dig. h.t.
RELEASE, contracts. A release is the giving or discharging of a right of
action which a man has or may claim against another, or that which is his.
Touch. 320 Bac. Ab. h.t.; Co. Litt. 264 a.
2. This kind of a release is different from that which is used for the
purpose of convoying real estate. Here a mere right is surrendered; in the
other case not only a right is given up, but an interest in the estate is
conveyed, and becomes vested in the release.
3. Releases may be considered, as to their form, their different kinds,
and their effect. Sec. 1. The operative words of a release are remise,
release, quitclaim, discharge and acquit; but other words will answer the
purpose. Sid. 265; Cro. Jac. 696; 9 Co. 52; Show. 331.
4.-Sec. 2. Releases are either express, or releases in deed; or those
arising by operation of law. An express release is one which is distinctly
made in the deed; a release by operation of law, is one which, though not
expressly made, the law presumes in consequence of some act of, the
releasor; for instance, when, one of several joint obligors is expressly
released, the others are also released by operation of law. 3 Salk. 298.
Hob. 10; Id. 66; Noy, 62; 4 Mod. 380; 7 Johns. Rep. 207.
5. A release may also be implied; as, if a creditor voluntarily deliver
to his debtor the bond, note, or other evidence of his claim. And when the
debtor is in possession of such security, it will be presumed that it has
been delivered to him. Poth. Obl. n. 608, 609.
6.-Sec. 3. As to their effect, releases 1st, acquit the releasee: and
2dly, enable him to be examined as a witness.
7.-1st. Littleton says a release of all demands is the best and
strongest release. Sect. 508. Lord Coke, on the contrary, says claims is a
stronger word. Co. Litt. 291 b.
8. In general the words of a release will he restrained by the
particular occasion of giving it. 3 Lev. 273; 1 Show. 151: 2 Mod. 108, n.; 2
Show. 47; T. Raym. 399 3 Mod. 277; Palm. 218; 1 Lev. 235.
9. The reader is referred to the following cases where a construction
has been given to the expressions mentioned. A release of "all actions,
suits and demands," 3 Mod. 277: "all actions, debts, duties, and demands,"
Ibid. 1 and 64; 3 Mod. 185; 8 Co. 150 b; 2 Saund. 6 a; all demands," 5 Co.
70, b; 2 Mod. 281; 3 Mod 278; 1 Lev. 99; Salk. 578; 2 Rolle's Rep. 12 Mod.
465; 2 Conn. Rep. 120; "all actions, quarrels, trespasses" Dy. 2171 pl. 2;
Cro. Jac. 487; "all errors, and all actions, suits, and writs of error
whatsoever," T. Ray. 3 99 all suits," 8 Co. 150 of covenants," 5 Co. 70 b.
10.-2d. A release by a witness where he has an interest in the matter
which is the subject of the suit or release by the party on whose side he is
interested, renders him competent. 1 Phil. Ev. 102, and the cases cited in
n. a. Vide 2 Chitt. It. 329; 1 D. & R. 361; Harr. Dig. h.t.; Bouv. Inst.
