Movables

Such subjects of property as attend a man's person wherever he goes, in contradistinction to things immovable. Things movable by their nature are such as may be carried from one place to another, whether they move themselves, as cattle, or cannot be removed without an extraneous power, as inanimate things. So in the civil law mobilia; but this term did not properly include living movables, which were termed moventia. Calv. Lex. But these words, m.obilia and moventia, are also used synonymously, and in the general sense of "movables." Id. Movables are further distinguished into such as are in possession, or which are in the power of the owner, as a horse in actual use, a piece of furniture in a man's own house, or such as are in possession of another, and can only be recovered by action, which are therefore said to be in action, as a debt.

Things movable; movable or personal chattels, which may be annexed to or attendant on the person of the owner, and carried about with him from one part of the world to another. 2 Bl. Comm. 387. Movables consist—First, of inanimate things, as goods, plate, money, jewels, implements of war, garments, and the like or 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; secondly, of animals, which have in themselves a principle and power of motion. 2 Steph. Comm. 67.

In the civil law. Movables (mobilia,) properly denoted inanimate things; animals being distinguished as moventia, things moving. Calvin.

In Scotch law. "Movables" are opposed to "heritage." So that every species of property, and every right a man can hold, is by that law either heritable or movable. Bell.
