QUIDAM, French law. Some, one; somebody. This Latin word is used to express an unknown person, or one who cannot be named.

3. A warrant directing the officer to arrest the "associates" of persons named, without naming them, is void. 3 Munf. 458.

QUIET ENJOYMENT³. In leases there are frequently covenants⁵ by which the lessor agrees that the lessee⁶ shall peaceably enjoy the premises⁷ leased; this is called a covenant⁴ for quiet enjoyment. This covenant goes to the possession and not to the title. 3 John. 471; 5 John. 120; 2 Dev. R. 388; 3 Dev. R. 200. A covenant for quiet enjoyment does not extend as far as a covenant of warranty⁸. 1 Aik. 233.

2. The covenant for quiet enjoyment is broken only by an entry, or lawful⁹ expulsion from, or some actual disturbance¹⁰ in, the possession. 3 John. 471; 15 John. 483; 8 John. 198; 7 Wend. 281; 2 Hill, 105; 2 App. R. 251; 9 Metc. 63; 4 Whart. 86; 4 Cowen, 340.

QUIT CLAIM, conveyancing. By the laws of Connecticut, it is the common practice there for the owner of land to execute a quit claim deed to a purchaser who has neither possession nor pretence¹⁷ of claim, and as by the laws of that state the delivery of the deed amounts to the delivery of possession, this operates as a conveyance¹⁸ without warranty. It is, however, essential that the land should not, at the time of the conveyance, be in the possession of a stranger, holding adversely¹⁹ to the title of the grantor. l Swift's Dig. 133; 2 N. H. R. 402; 1 Cowen, 613; and vide Release.
