feoffee

Except in the cases, comparatively rare before the statute Quia Emptores, in which the feoffee is to hold of the feoffors lord.

Only those who were privies in estate with the original feoffee to uses, were bound by the use.

After the death of the feoffee the grant reverted to the State; and the governor thereupon disposed of it anew.

John Hand was a feoffee for many years, and during his time executed, as was usual, the office of collector or treasurer.
