CADUCA BONA,

Escheats, Goods which are forfeited to the Kings Treasury, by the Laws of Escheats which were made in the Time of Augustus, to encrease the Treasure, which was exhausted by the civil Wars. These Laws were contained in seve∣ral Articles.

1. That all Persons who lived a single Life, should enjoy no Legacy, if they did not marry within the time limited by that Law, and if they did not, whatever they had bequeathed to them by Will, should be paid into the Treasury.

2. That those who had no Children should lose one Moyety of what was left them by Will, and this is that which the civil Law calls, Poena orbitatis.

3. All that was given by Will to any Person, who died in the Life of the Testa∣tor, or after his Decease before the Will was opened, was an Escheat, and belonged to the Treasury.

4. Every Heir, who was negligent in re∣venging of the Death of him, whose Estate he inherited was deprived of his Inheritance, and it came to the Treasury. In a Word, Caducum, in the sense of the civil Law is meant of any Legacy, or Gift of Inheritance, which is void, There is a Title in the Civil Law, de caducis tollendis.
