Blackstone's Commentaries - Book the Second - Chapter the Twenty-Seventh : Of Title by Perogative, and Forfeiture (2797 words) |
 | A SECOND method of acquiring property in perfonal chattels is by the king's prerogative: whereby a right may accrue either to the crown itfelf, or to fuch as claim under the title of the crown, as by grant or by prefcription. |
| SUCH in the firft place are all tributes, taxes, and cuftoms; whether conftitutionally inherent in the crown, as flowers of the prerogative and branches of the cenfus regalis or antient royal revenue, or whether they be occafionally created by authority of parliament; of both which fpecies of revenue we treated largely in the former volume. |
| In thefe the king acquires and the fubject lofes a property the inftant they become due: if paid, they are a chofe in poffeffion; if unpaid, a chofe in action. |
