Bote
Bote [fr. bot, A.S.; beton, to repair, synonymous with estovers, Fr.; esroffer, to furnish], necessaries for the maintenance and carrying on of husbandry.

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. It is also incidentally distinguished by its fruits...
Defenso
Defenso. That part of any open field or place that was allotted for corn or hay, and upon which there was no common or feeding, was anciently said to be in defenso; so of any meadow ground that was laid in for hay only.
