in Law (from the verb feoffare or infere dare, to give one a fief), the gift or grant of any corporeal hereditament to another, by delivery of the possession of the hereditament conveyed and evidenced by an instrument in writing, without which, since the 29th Car. II., cap. 3, there can be no valid feoffment. This mode of conveyance is now seldom resorted to; the 8th and 9th Vict., cap. 106, sec. 2, having enacted that all corporeal hereditaments lie in grant as well as in livery of seisin, which was previously required to perfect the conveyance by feoffment, and a "grant" or concessio is now substituted.
