Black's Law Dictionary

Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910

This is the least and lowest estate which can subsist in realty. It is in strictness not an estate, but a mere possession only. It arises when a person, after his right to the occupation. under a lawful title, is at an end, continues (having no title at all) in possession of the land, without the agreement or disagreement of the person in whom the right of possession resides. 2 Bl. Comm. 150.
