A gift of single escheat extending only to moveables belonging to the rebel at the date of the gift, being granted in August, was found only to comprehend the half of that year's rent, except for such part of the lands as was in the rebel's own hands in mansing, of which the whole crop was found to be carried by the gift, even as it would have belonged to the rebel's executors, if he had died at that time.
Durie.
*** This case is No. 9. p. 5074. voce Gift of Escheat.
