Landlord's or superior's right of distress. The superior's is for the amount of the feu-duty, and has priority over the landlord's. The landlord's hypothec extends over the crop for the rent of the year in which it was grown, and over the stock on the farm for the current year's rent. (See Sequestration for Rent.) In the case of houses, &c., the landlord has a hypothec on the invecta et illata, i.e., the household furniture of his tenant. The law agent's hypothec is a solicitor's lien over title-deeds.
