Movables

Things movable; movable or personal chattels, which may be annexed to or attendant on the person of the owner, and carried about with him from one part of the world to another.

2 Bl. Comm. 387.

Movables consist—First, of inanimate things, as goods, plate, money, jewels, implements of war, garments, and the like or vegetable productions, as the fruit or other parts of a plant when severed from the body of it or the whole plant itself when severed from the ground; secondly, of animals, which have in themselves a principle and power of motion.

2 Steph. Comm. 67.

In the civil law. Movables (mobilia,) properly denoted inanimate things; animals being distinguished as moventia, things moving.

Calvin.

In Scotch law

"Movables" are opposed to "heritage." So that every species of property, and every right a man can hold, is by that law either heritable or movable.
