Mortmain
Mortmain [fr. mort, Fr., dead, and main hand], such a state of possession of land as makes it inalienable; whence it is said to be in dead hand--in a hand that cannot shift away the property. It takes place upon alienation to any corporation, sole or aggregate, ecclesiastical or temporal, 2 Bl. Com. 268.By several old statutes, alienation of lands and tenements in mortmain, i.e., to religious and other corporations, which were supposed to hold them in a dead or unserviceable hand, were prohibited under pain of forfeiture to the lord, the fruits of whose feudal seigniory (the great hinge of government in those days) were thus impaired. But either with or without the consent of the immediate lords (for this is doubtful), this forfeiture might be dispensed with by a licence in mortmain from the Crown, which licence was made sufficient without any such consent by 7 & 8 Wm. 3, c. 37, repealed and reenacted by the consolidating mortmain and (English) Charitable Uses Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. ...

Game
Game [fr. gaman, Sax.], all sorts of birds and beasts that are objects of the chase. The term is defined by the Game Act, 1831 (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 32), as including for the purposes of that Act 'hares, pheasants, partridges, grouse, heath or moor-game, black game, and bustards'; but some of its provisions are directed to trespass in pursuit of woodcocks, snipes, quails, land rails, and coneys.At Common Law game belongs to a tenant and not to a landlord, but leases frequently contain a reservation of the game to the landlord, and before the Game Act, 1831, the right to kill game was restricted to freeholders having 100l. a year freehold, or leaseholders having a 99 years' leasehold of 150l. a year, etc. This Act repeals the (English) Qualification Act of 22 & 23 Car. 2, c. 25, and (after giving the game to landlords in the case of leases made before the Act for less than 21 years-a provision now expired) protects reservations of game by penal provisions. The Act also requires all persons k...
