Free-board, or freebord

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. Cowel (Law Dict.) has the following: 'Free-board, Francbordus, in some places they claim as a Free-bord, more or less ground beyond or without the fence. In Mon. Angl. 2 par. Fol. 241, it is said to contain two foot and a half.' He then quotes the passage from Dugdale, but inaccurately, the correct reading being as follows: Et totum boscum quod vocatur Brendewode, cum frankbordo duorum pedum et dimidium, per circuitum illius bosci, etc.; see Dugd. Mon., Edn. Caley Ellis & Bandinel, vol. vi. P. 375. Du Cange simply says, 'Francbordus A...

Free-bench

Free-bench [sedes libera, Lat.], a widow's dower out of copyholds to which she was entitled by the custom of some manors. It is regarded as an excrescence growing out of the husband's interest, and is indeed a continuance of his estate.The term free-bench is equally applicable to the estate which, by the custom of some manors, a husband takes in his wife's copyhold lands after her death, and anciently it was indiscriminately applied to that and to the widow's dower, but now the estate of the husband is called his curtesy, while the term free-bench is confined to the widow.Since free-bench is only claimable by special custom, the estate which a widow is to take, both as to its quantity, quality, and duration, must be such as the custom prescribes. It is generally a third for her life, as at Common Law, but it is sometimes a fourth part only, and sometimes but a portion of the rent. In many manors the wife takes the whole for her life, in others she takes the inheritance.Frequently the c...
