estates .
This homely term is used figuratively to signify the blending and mixing property belonging to different persons ,
in order to divide it equally among those entitled to it .
For example ,
if a man seised of thirty acres of land ,
and having two children ,
should ,
on the marriage of one of them ,
give him ten acres of it ,
and then die intestate seised of the remaining twenty ;
now ,
in order to obtain his portion of the latter ,
the married child ,
must bring back the ten acres he received ,
and add it to his father '
s estate ,
when an equal division of the whole will take place ,
and each be entitled to fifteen acres .
