Actual

Real, in opposition to constructive or speculative, something "existing in act;" State v. Wells, 31 Conn. 213; real as opposed to nominal; Astor v. Merritt, 111 U. S. 202, 4 Sup. Ct 413, 28 L Ed. 401.

Wearing apparel "in actual use" is not confined to what is worn at the time or what has been worn, but includes what is set apart to be used as a part of one's wardrobe; id., where the phrase is carefully examined and defined. It is used as a legal term in contradistinction to virtual or constructive as of possession or occupation; Cleveland v. Crawford, 7 Hun (N. Y.) 616; or an actual settler, which implies actual residence; Mclntyre v. seizure, since there was no fiction of constructive seizure before the act; L. R. 6 Exch. 203. Actually is opposed to seemingly, pretendedly, or feignedly, as actually engaged in farming means really, truly, in fact; In re Strawbridge & Mays, 39 Ala. 367.
