CHATTELS, property. A term which includes all kinds of property, except the
freehold or things which are parcel of it. It is a more extensive term than
goods or effects. Debtors taken in execution, captives, apprentices, are
accounted chattels....
   Chattels are personal or real. Personal, are such as belong immediately to
the person of a man; chattels real, are such as either appertain not immediately
to the person, but to something by way of dependency, as a box with the title
deeds of lands; or such as are issuing out of some real estate, as a lease of
lands, or term of years, which pass like personally to the executor of the
owner....
