base property

base property
An older concept of the common law, which has been changed to a great extent, if not entirely, by statute or evolution in the common law, that certain things, such as dogs and cats, were property of an inferior nature, so that they were not subjects of larceny. 32 Am J1st Larc § 79. The inferior nature of the property in such animals did not prevent the maintenance of an action for their conversion. Columbus Railroad Co. v Woolfolk, 128 Ga 631, 58 SE 152; Commonwealth v Flynn, 285 Mass 136, 188 NE 627, 92 ALR 206. See base fee.
