Free-board, or freebord. The precise nature of free-board is not very clear, but it may be described as denoting certain rights enjoyed by the owner of an ancient park over a strip of ground, varying in width indifferent cases, running along the outside of the boundary fence. The right seems to be ofthe nature of a negative easement, its essence apparently consisting in the right of the owner of the park to have the strip kept free, open and unbuilt upon.

It is called an incorporeal right, which lies in grant, as if originally commencing in some agreement between lords and tenants, for some valuable consideration which, by lapse of time, being formed into a prescription, continues, although there be no deed or instrument in writing which proves the original contract or agreement. It differs from a rent, principally in freedom of enjoyment on the one hand, and in freedom from obligation on the other; which the law expresses by the quaint antithesis that it lies not in render but in prender.
