Goods found adrift at sea. See LiGAN. When mariners in danger of shipwreck cast goods out of the ship, and fasten a buoy to them, that they may find them again, these goods are called lagan. And lagan is used to denote that right which the chief lord of the fee had to take goods cast on shore by the violence of the sea, &c. Jacob.
