Description of parcels when lands of differ

ent tenures are intermixed.

(e) It is a matter of constant occurrence, especially in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, that lands of freehold and customary tenure become so blended together that the freehold cannot be distinguished from the customary lands. (See ante, Vol. 1, pp. 78, 220; and supra, p. 67). In this case some such mode of description must be resorted to as that employed in the text. One plan in very common use is to grant and release "All such and so many, and such part and parts as are of freehold tenure of the lands and hereditaments hereinafter particularly mentioned, (that is to say), All that, &c. :" using the modern general description alone or adding the ancient freehold description, as circumstances seem to require. The covenant to surrender then runs, "That he, the said [surrenderor], or his heirs, shall and will, at or before the next court to be holden in and for the said manor of - at the costs &c., sur

render, &c., (supra, p. 308), All such and so many, and such part and
parts of the said lands and hereditaments hereinbefore particularly men-
tioned, as are of customary tenure and holden of the said manor of
and shall and will, &c." [Repeating the same form for every manor of
which any of the hereditaments are understood to be held, and adding
general words]. "To the use of the said [surrenderee], his heirs and
assigns, to be holden according to the custom of the said several manors,
of which the same premises are respectively holden, and under the suits,
services, rents, fines, and heriots, therefore respectively due and of right
accustomed."

Of course, if it should happen that leaseholds have become undistinguishably intermixed with freeholds or copyholds, a similar device will be adopted for the description in the conveyance.
