Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
WITHOUT IMPEACHMENT OF WASTE. When a tenant for life holds the land without
impeachment of waste, he is of course dispunishable for waste whether wilful
or otherwise. But still this right must not be wantonly abused so as to
destroy the estate, and he will be enjoined from committing malicious waste.
