[Latin "ejectment of farm"] Hist.

"A writ then of ejectione firmae, or action of trespass in ejectment, lieth, where lands or tenements are let for a term of years; and afterwards the lessor, reversioner, remainder-man, or any stranger, doth eject or oust the lessee of his term. In this case he shall have his writ of ejection, to call the defendant to answer for entering on the lands so demised to the plaintiff for a term that is not yet expired, and ejecting him. And by this writ the plaintiff shall recover back his term, or the remainder of it, with damages." 3 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 199 (1768).
