Exception

In conveyancing. A clause in a deed whereby the grantor, lessor, <&c,, excepts something out of that which he has before granted, (as ground out of a manor, a room out of a house, i&c.,) by which means it is severed from the things granted, and does not pass by the deed.* Co, Litt, 47 a.

Shep. Touch, 77.

The apt words of exception in Latin, were excepiis, salvo, prater, and the Uke. The distinction between an exception and a reservation is, that an exception is always of part of the thing granted, and of a thing in esse; a reservation is always of a thing not in esse^ but newly created or reserved out of the land or tenement demised.
