A Dictionary of Law

William C. Anderson · 1889

A consideration issuing from or furnished by a party is said to " move" from him. 3 See also Motion. Movable. That which can be changed in place, or carried from place to place. Movables. Such things in themselves considered. Oijposed to immovable, immovables. The law attaches no technical meaning to "movable property," used in a will. "Movable," applied to property, ordinarily signifies capable of being put out of one place into another; that the property is susceptible of locomotion or change of place. But this is predicable of that only which is corporeal or tangible. Obviously, a judgment is not of this character.* "Movables," standing alone, comprehends personal property generally.'' See Fixture; Mobilia; Personalty. MR.; MRS. See Name, 1.
