Parcels
Parcels, the technical term for the description of the property dealt with by a conveyance mortgage, or other assurance. The description may be express and independent, or by reference to the recitals in the deed, or to the subsequent parts of the instru-ment, or to some other instrument (Dav. Prec. Conv., vol. i.). In modern practice a description of the property is often set out in a schedule to the deed coupled with a reference to a plan drawn on the deed. If a plan is used, great care should be taken (which it very often is not) to ensure that the plan is accurate. As to a purchaser's right to have the property conveyed to him by reference to a plan, see Re Sansom, (1910) 1 Ch 741; Re Sparrow, (1910) 2 Ch 60. See also REGISTRATION OF TITLE TO LAND....

In the previous edition of this work, copyhold was described as a base tenure founded upon immemorial custom and usage; its origin is undiscoverable, but it is said to be the ancient villeinage modified and changed by the commutation of base services into specified rents, either in money or money's worth.A copyhold estate is a parcel of the demesnes of a manor held at the lord's will, and according to the custom of such manor. The tenant may have the same quantities of interest in this tenure as he may enjoy in freeholds, as an estate in fee-simple or (by particular custom) fee-tail, or for life, and he may have only a chattel interest of an estate for years in it. By the custom of some manors, the estate devol...
