Caffey““The word ‘premises’ when used to describe an estate in land almost invariably refers to land and the tenements or appurtenances thereto. 33 Words and Phrases, pp. 354-358 (1940). In Black’s Law Dictionary (4th ed. 1957) at 1344 premises is defined as: ‘Lands and tenements; an estate; land and buildings thereon;’. It is particularly clear here that the word premises was used in the warrant to include and to authorize a search of buildings standing upon the land, since many of the items sought ... would in all likelihood be found only within the confines of a building.” 417 F.2d at 1023 .”
