Hypothecation
Hypothecation [fr. hypotheca, Civ. Law, a pledge in which the pledges retained possession of the thing pledged, as distinguished from pignus, where the possession was transferred to the pledge. See Sand. Just; Sith's dict. of Antiq., tit. 'Pignus'], the act of pledging a thing as security for a debt or demand without parting with the possession. There are few cases, if any, in our law where an hypothecation in the strict sense of the Roman Law exists. The nearest approaches, perhaps, are the cases of holders of bottomry bonds, and of seamen to whom wages are due in the merchant service, who have a claim against the ship in rem. But these are rather cases of liens or privileges than strict hypo-thecations. There are also cases where mortgages of chattels are held valid, without any actual possession by the mortgage, but they stand upon very peculiar grounds, and may be deemed exceptions to the general rule.It means a charge in or upon any movable property, existing or future, created by...
