Meaning of Domain

Dominion; territory governed; possession; estate; land about the mansionhouse of a lord; the right to dispose at our pleasure of what belongs to us. A distinction has been , made between “property” and “domain. The former is said to be that quality which is conceived to be in the thing itself, considered as belonging to such or such person, exclusively of all others. By the latter is understood that right which the owner has of disposing of the thing. Hence, domain and property are said to be correlative terms; the one is the active right to.dispose of the other a passive quality which follows the thing, and places it at the disposition of the owner. 3 Toullier, Dr. Civ , note 83 But this distinction is too subtle for prkctical use. Puffendorff, Law Nat. ib. 1 c 4 §2. See 1 Bl. Comm. 105, 106; 1 Bouv. Inst, note 456; Clef des Lois Rom.; Domat, Civ. Law; 1 Hilhard, Real Prop. 24; 2 Hill, Abr. 237.
