It is the word body that makes the intail: there must be a body in the tail, devised to heirs male or female, otherwise it is a fee-simple, because it is not limited of what body.

Thus a corporation cannot be seized in tail.

For example, here is a young woman--What is your name, my dear ?" "Dolly," answered the daughter, with a curtsey.

"Here's Dolly--I seize Dolly in tail--Dolly, I seize you in tail"-- "Sha't then," cried Dolly, pouting.

"I am seized of land in fee--I settle on Dolly in tail." Dolly, who did not comprehend the nature of the illustration, understood him in a literal sense, and, in a whimpering tone, exclaimed, "Sha't then, I tell thee, cursed tuoad!" Tom, however, was so transported with his subject, that he took no notice of poor Dolly's mistake, but proceeded in his harangue upon the different kinds of tails, remainders, and seisins, when he was interrupted by a noise that alarmed the whole company.
