TIMBER SEVERED BEFORE CONTRACT EXPIRES 153 



plished within the period of time known as a logging season 

 in other localities. l 



118. The Title to Timber Cut but not Removed 

 before the Expiration of the Limited Time. In most 



American jurisdictions timber cut down within the period 

 allowed for removal, but not removed, will be held to be per- 

 sonalty belonging to the purchaser, 2 and he will be per- 

 mitted to remove the same, but in some jurisdictions the 

 land owner will be given damages for the trespass involved 

 in the entrance of the premises to take the timber cut or for 

 the use of the land during the time of such removal. 3 In 

 other jurisdictions it has been held that the mere severance 

 of the trees prior to the expiration of the time for removal 

 will not operate to defeat the reversion to the land owner. 4
