The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

or THINGS REAL. In common law. Such things as are permanent, fixed, and immovable, which cannot be carried out of their place; as lands and tenements.

2 Bl. Comm. 15.

Things substantial and immovable, and the rights and profits annexed to or issuing out of them.

1 Steph. Comm. 156.

This expression is in strictness clearly pleonastic, the sense of thing (res) being already implied in the word "real," as will at once appear by giving it a Latin form, res reales.
