Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
REVERSIONER, estates. One entitled to a reversion.
2. Although not in actual possession, the reversioner having a vested
interest in the reversion, is entitled to his action for an injury done to
the inheritance. 4 Burr. 2141. The reversioner is entitled to the rent, and
this important incident passes with a grant or assignment of the reversion.
It is not inseparable from it, and may be severed and excepted out of the
grant by special words. Co. Litt. 143, a, 151, a, b Cruise, Digest, t. 17,
s. 19.
