(k) The power of distress is now by statute incident to rent-charges; (3 Cru. Dig. by White, p. 285); but it is, nevertheless, usual expressly to limit a power of distress to the grantee of a rent-charge. The right of entry arises only when expressly granted, and in settlements is usually given by the operation of the Statute of Uses, as in the text. (See 3 Cru. Dig. by White, pp. 286, 287). It gives the party a chattel interest determinable on satisfaction of his arrears and costs. (Burton's Law of Real Property, Art. 867). In addition to these powers and remedies, a term of years is nearly always limited (as in the text) to trustees upon trust by sale or mortgage, or other reasonable means, to secure the payment of the jointure. It is, however, very seldom that the jointress is obliged to have recourse to her powers, as the reversioner usually pays the jointure in due course to save himself annoyance; and the remedy under the term is so very seldom called into action, that there will be no impropriety in dispensing with that additional security when brevity is an object.
