Land Gabel

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Land-gabel, a tax or rent issuing out of land. Spelman says it was originally a penny for every house. This land-gabel, or land-gavel, in the Register of Domesday, was a quit-rent for the site of a house, or the land whereon it stood; the same as what we now call ground-rent.
