Sed To Uses

is a species of conveyance which derives its effect from the statute of uses, and operates without transmutation of possession.; By this conveyance, a person scised of lands, covenants that he will stand seised of them to-the use of another. On executing the covenant, the other party becomes seised of the use of the land, according to the terms of the use; and the statute immediately annexes the possession tothe use. This conveyance has the same force and effect as a common deed of bargain and sale; the great distinction between them is, that the former can anly be made use of among near domestic relations, for it must be founded on the consideration of blood or marriage. 2 BI.
