  WASTE. A spoil or destruction houses, gardens, trees, or other corporeal 
  hereditaments, to the disherison of him that hath the remainder or reversion 
  in fee simple or fee tail 2 Bl. Comm. 281. 
       2. The doctrine of waste is somewhat different in this country from 
  what it is in England. It is adapted to our circumstances. 3 Yeates, R. 261; 
  4 Kent, Com. 76; Walk. Intr. 278; 7 John. Rep. 227; 2 Hayw. R. 339; 2 Hayw. 
  R. 110; 6 Munf. R. 134; 1 Rand. Rep. 258; 6 Yerg. Rep. 334. Waste is either 
  voluntary or permissive. 
       3.-Sec. 1. Voluntary waste. A voluntary waste is an act of commission, 
  as tearing down a house. This kind of waste is committed in houses, in 
  timber, and in land. It is committed in houses by removing wainscots, 
  floors, benches, furnaces, window-glass, windows, doors, shelves, and other 
  things once fixed to the freehold, although they may have been erected by 
  the lessee himself, unless they were erected for the purposes of trade. See 
  Fixtures; Bac. Ab. Waste, C 6. And this kind of waste may take place not 
  only in pulling down houses, or parts of them, but also in changing their 
  forms; as, if the tenant pull down a house and erect a new one in the place, 
  whether it be larger or smaller than the first; 2 Roll. Ab. 815, 1. 33; or 
  convert a parlor into a stable; or a grist-mill into a fulling-mill; 2 Roll. 
  Abr. 814, 815; or turn two rooms into one. 2 Roll. Ab. 815, 1. 37. The 
  building of a house where there was none before is said to be a waste; Co. 
  Litt. 53, a; and taking it down after it is built, is a waste. Com. Dig. 
  Waste, D 2. It is a general rule that when a lessee has annexed anything to 
  the freehold during the term, and afterwards takes it away, it is waste. 3 
  East, 51. This principle is established in the French law. Lois des Bit. 
  part. 2, 
       3, art. 1; 18 Toull. n. 457. 
       4. But at a very early period several exceptions were attempted to be 
  made to this rule, which were at last effectually engrafted upon it in favor 
  of trade, and of those vessels and utensils, which are immediately 
  subservient to the purposes of trade. Ibid. 
       5. This relaxation of the old rule has taken place between two 
  descriptions of persons; that is, between the landlord and tenant, and 
  between the tenant for life or tenant in tail and the remainder-man or 
  reversioner. 
       6. As between the landlord and tenant it is now the law, that if the 
  lessee annex any chattel to the house for the purpose of his trade, he may 
  disunite it during the continuance of his interest, 1 H. B. 258. But this 
  relation extends only to erections for the purposes of trade. 
       7. It has been decided that a tenant for years may remove cider-mills, 
  ornamental marble chimney pieces, wainscots fixed only by screws, and such 
  like. 2 Bl. Com. 281, note by Chitty. A tenant of a farm cannot remove 
  buildings which he has erected for the purposes of husbandry, and the better 
  enjoyment of the profits of the land, though he thereby leaves the premises 
  the same as when he entered. 2 East, 88; 3 East, 51; 6 Johns., Rep. 5; 7 
  Mass. Rep. 433. 
       8. Voluntary waste may be committed on timber, and in the country from 
  which we have borrowed our laws, the law is very strict. In Pennsylvania, 
  however, and many of the other states, the law has applied itself to our 
  situation, and those acts which in England would amount to waste, are not so 
  accounted here. Stark. Ev. part 4, p. 1667, n.; 3 Yeates, 251. Where wild 
  and uncultivated land, wholly covered with wood and timber, is leased, the 
  lessee may fell a part of the wood and timber, so as to fit the land for 
  cultivation, without being liable to waste, but he cannot cut down the whole 
  so as permanently to injure the inheritance. And to what extent the wood and 
  timber on such land may be cut down without waste, is a question of fact for 
  the jury under the direction of the court. 7 Johns. R. 227. The tenant may 
  cut down trees for the reparation of the houses, fences, hedges, stiles, 
  gates, and the like; Co. Litt. 53, b; and for mixing and repairing all 
  instruments of husbandry, as ploughs, carts, harrows, rakes, forks, &c. 
  Wood's Inst. 344. The tenant may, when he is unrestrained by the terms of 
  his lease, out down timber, if there  be not enough dead timber. Com. Dig 
  Waste, D 5; F. N. B. 59 M. Where the tenant, by the conditions of his lease, 
  is entitled to cut down timber, he is restrained nevertheless from cutting 
  down ornamental trees, or those planted for shelter; 6 Ves. 419; or to 
  exclude objects from sight. 16 Ves. 375. 
       9. Windfalls are the property of the landlord, for whatever is severed 
  by inevitable necessity, as by a tempest, or by a trespasser, and by wrong, 
  belongs to him who has the inheritance. 3 P. Wms. 268; 11 Rep. 81, Bac. Abr. 
  Waste, D 2. 
       10. Waste is frequently committed on cultivated fields, orchards, 
  gardens, meadows, and the like. It is proper here to remark that there is an 
  implied covenant or agreement on the part of the lessee to use a farm in a 
  husbandman-like manner, and not to exhaust the soil by neglectful or 
  improper tillage. 5 T. R. 373. See 6 Ves. 328. It is therefore waste to 
  convert arable to woodland and the contrary, or meadow to arable; or meadow 
  to orchard. Co. Lit. 53, b. Cutting down fruit trees; 2 Roll. Abr. 817, l. 
  30; although planted by the tenant himself, is waste; and it was held to be 
  waste for an outgoing tenant of garden ground to plough up strawberry beds 
  which be had bought of a former tenant when he entered. i Camp. 227. 
       11. It is a general rule that when lands are leased on which there are 
  open mines of metal or coal or pits of gravel, lime, clay, brick, earth, 
  stone, and the like, the tenant may dig out of such mines, or pits. Com. 
  Dig. Waste, D 4. But he cannot open any new mines or pits without being 
  guilty of waste Co. Lit. 53 b; and carrying away the soil, is waste. Com. 
  Dig. Waste, D 4. 
       12.-Sec. 2. Permissive waste. Permissive waste in houses is punishable 
  where the tenant is expressly bound to repair, or where he is so bound on an 
  implied covenant. See 2 Esp. R. 590; 1 Esp. Rep. 277; Bac. Abr. Covenant, F. 
  It is waste if the tenant suffer a house leased to him to remain uncovered 
  so long that the rafters or other timbers of the house become rotten, unless 
  the house was uncovered when the tenant took possession. Com. Dig. Waste, D 
  2. 
       13.-Sec. 3. Of remedies for waste. The ancient writ of waste has been 
  superseded. It is usual to bring case in the nature of waste instead of the 
  action of waste, as well for permissive as voluntary waste. 
       14. Some decisions have made it doubtful whether an action on the case 
  for permissive waste can be maintained against any tenant for years. See 1 
  New Rep. 290; 4 Taunt. 764; 7 Taunt. 392; S. C. 1 Moore, 100; 1 Saund. 323, 
  a, n. i. Even where the lessee covenants not to do waste, the lessor has his 
  election to bring either an action on the case, or of, covenant, against the 
  lessee for waste done by him during the term. 2 Bl. Rep. 1111; 2 Saund. 252, 
  c. n. In an action on the case in the nature of waste, the plaintiff 
  recovers only damages for the waste. 
       15. The latter action has this advantage over an action of waste, that 
  it may be brought by him in reversion or remainder for life or years, as 
  well as in fee or in tail; and the plaintiff is entitled to costs in this 
  action, which he cannot have in an action of waste., 2 Saund. 252, n. See, 
  on the subject in general, Woodf. Landl. & T. 217, ch. 9, s. 1; Bac. Abr. 
  Waste; Vin. Abr. Waste; Com. Dig. Waste; Supp. to Ves. jr. 50, 325, 441; 1 
  Vern. R. 23, n.; 2 Saund. 252, a, n. 7, 259, n. 11; Arch. Civ. Pl. 495; 2 
  Sell. Pr. 234; 3 Bl. Com. 180, note by Chitty; Amer. Dig. Waste; Whart. Dig. 
  Waste; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t. 
       As to remedies against waste by injunction, see 1 Vern. R. 23, n.; 5 P. 
  Wms. 268, n. F; 1 Eq. Cas. Ab. 400; 6 Ves. 787, 107, 419; 8 Ves. 70; 16 Ves. 
  375; 2 Swanst. 251; 3 Madd. 498; Jacob's R. 70; Drew. on Inj. part 2, c. 1, 
  p. 134. As between tenants in common, 5 Taunt. 24; 19 Ves. 159; 16 Ves. 132; 
  3 Bro. C. C. 622; 2 Dick. 667; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.; and the article 
  Injunction. As to remedy by writ of estrepement to prevent waste, see 
  Estrepement; Woodf Landl. & T. 447; 2 Yeates, 281; 4 Smith's Laws of Penn. 
  89; 3 Bl. Com. 226.  As to remedies in cases of fraud in committing waste,
