Chattels Personal

otherwise called THINGS PERSONAL, comprise all sorts of things moveable, as goods, plate, money, jewels, implements of war, garments, animals and 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.

Besides things moveable, they include also certain incorporeal rights or interests, growing out of, or incident to them, such as patent rights and copyrights, to which Mr. Stephen nas given the name of incorporeal chattels.

There are, however, many chattels, which, though they be even of a moveable nature, yet being necessarily attached to the freehold, and contributing to its value and enjoyment, go along with it, in the same path of descent or alienation. This is the case with the deeds and other papers which con* stitute the muniments of title to the inheritance, and so with heir looms.

2 Kent's Com. 343.

A box of charters or deeds was always classed with chattels real.
