Forfeiture is a punishment annexed by law to some illegal act ,
or negligence ,
in the owner of lands ,
tenements ,
or hereditaments ,
whereby he loses all his interest therein ,
and they become vested in the party injured ,
as a recompense for the wrong which he alone ,
or the Public together with himself ,
hath sustained .

it is enacted ,
that no conviction or judgment for any of the offences aforesaid ,
shall work corruption of blood ,
or any forfeiture of estate .
As the offences punished by this act are of the blackest dye ,
including cases of treason ,
the punishment of forfeiture may be considered as being abolished .
The forfeiture of the estate for crime is very much reduced in practice in this country ,
and when it occurs ,
the stater takes the title the party had ,
and no more .

Forfeiture by alienation .
By the English law ,
estates less than a fee may be forfeited to the party entitled to the residuary interest by a breach of duty in the owner of the particular estate .
When a tenant for life or years ,
therefore ,
by feoffment ,
fine ,
or recovery ,
conveys a greater estate than he is by law entitled to do ,
he forfeits his estate to the person next entitled in remainder or reversion .

In this country ,
such forfeitures are almost unknown ,
and the more just principle prevails ,
that the conveyance by the tenant operates only on the interest which he possessed ,
and does not affect the remainder -
man or reversioner .

By forfeiture is also understood the neglect of an obligor to fulfill his obligation in proper time :
as ,
when one has entered into a bond for a penal sum ,
upon condition to pay a smaller at a particular day ,
and he fails to do it ,
there is then said to be a forfeiture .
Again ,
when a party becomes bound in a certain sum by a recognizance to pay a certain sum ,
with a condition that he will appear at court to answer or prosecute a crime ,
and he fails to do it ,
there is a forfeiture of the recognizance .
Courts of equity ,
and now courts ,
of law ,
will relieve from the forfeiture of a bond ;
and upon a proper case shown ,
criminal courts will in general relieve from the forfeiture of a recognizance to appear .
