From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  TRANSITUS. The act of going, or of removing goods, from one place to 
  another. The transitus of goods from a seller commences the moment he has 
  delivered them to an agent for the purpose of being carried to another 
  place, and ends when the delivery is complete, which delivery may be by 
  putting the purchaser into actual possession of the goods, or by making him 
  a symbolical delivery. 2 Hill, S. C. 587; 5 John. 335; 2 Pick. 599; 11
