Braxfield. The landlord's hypothec must be used with discretion. The
landlord cannot sequestrate while the tenant is going on in business; for how can a tenant pay his rent, if he be not allowed the use of his crop? The case is different when a tenant becomes lapsus. If the landlord be entitled to sequestrate, he may roup, for otherwise the subject may be dilapidated. Cattle must be rouped, for otherwise they will eat up their own value.
