Exchange, Deed of
Exchange, Deed of [fr. excambium, Lat.], an original Common Law conveyance, for the reciprocal transfer of interests ejusdem generis, as fee simple for fee simple, legal estate for legal estate, copyhold for copyhold of the same manor, and the like the one in consideration of the other. It takes place between two distinct contracting parties only, although several persons may compose each party.

Act, 1925, s. 59, replacing Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 4]. An actual entry upon the pro-perty exchanged by the parties themselves to the deed was essential.

Act, 1925, s....
