emblements

EMBLEMENTS, rights. By this term is understood the crops growing upon the 
land. By crops is here meant the products of the earth which grow yearly and 
are raised by annual expense and labor, or "great manurance and industry," 
such as grain; but not fruits which grow on trees which are not to be 
planted yearly, or grass, and the like, though they are annual. Co. Litt. 
55, b; Com. Dig. Biens, G; Ham. Part. 183, 184. 
     2. It is a general rule, that when the estate is terminated by the act 
of God in any other way than by the death of the tenant for life, or by act 
of the law, the tenant is entitled to the enablements; and when he dies 
before harvest time, his executors shall have the emblements, as a return 
for the labor and expense of the deceased in tilling the ground. 9 Johns. R.
