transfer, cont. the act by which the owner of a thing delivers it to another 
person, with the intent of passing the rights which he has in it to the

     2. it is a rule founded on the plainest dictates of common sense, 
adopted in all systems of law, that no one can transfer a right to another 
which he has not himself: nemo plus juris ad alienum transfers potest quam 
ipse habet. dig. 50, 17, 54 10 pet. 161, 175; co. litt. 305. 
     3. to transfer means to change; for example, one may transfer a legacy, 
either, 1st. by the change of the person of the legatee, as, i bequeath to

states instead of my copy of the life of washington. 3d. by the change of 
the person who was bound to pay the legacy, as, i direct that the sun of 
one hundred dollars, which i directed should be charged upon my house which 
i gave to quartus, shall be paid by my executors.
