But if waste be done only in one end of a wood (or perhaps in one room of a house) if that can be conveniently separated from the rest, that part only is the locus oastatus, or thing wasted, and that only shall be forfeited to the reversioner." 2 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 283-84 (1766).
