Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Pleading and Practice, Vol. 8: Under the Codes and Practice Acts, at Common Law, in Equity and in Criminal Cases
Though an alien may purchase land or take it by devise, yet he is exposed to the danger of being divested of the fee and of having his lands forfeited to the state upon an inquest of office found; and if he dies before any such proceeding be had, we have seen that the inheritance cannot descend, but escheats of course. 2 Kent's Com. 61.
