Copyhold
Copyhold. Tenure in copyhold has been abolished under the (English) L.P. Acts, 1922 and 1925, and the Amending Acts of 1924 and 1926, but the greater part of the former title on this subject has been retained verbatim in view of the importance of the subject in examining titles. 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...

Manor
Manor [fr. manerium, Lat.; manoir, Fr., habitation, or manendo, of abiding there, because the lord usually resided there], an estate in fee-simple in a tract of land granted by the sovereign to a subject (usually of power and consequence) in consideration of certain services to be performed. The tenementales were granted out; the dominicales (whence the ter demesne) were reserved to the lord; the barren lands which remained formed the 'wastes'; the whole fee was termed a lordship or barony; and the Court appendant to the manor the Court baron. Every manor (with some doubtful and unimportant exceptions) is of a date prior to the statute of Quia Emptores (18 Edw. 1, c. 1).'A manor,' says Mr. Joshua Williams, 'was made by the owner of an estate in fee carving out other estates in fee to be held by other freeholders as his tenants. A manor consists of demesnes and services: of demesnes, that is, of lands of which the freeholder, now become lord of a manor, is seised in his demesne as of fe...
Notice of accident
Notice of accident. The (English) Notice of Accidents Act, 1906, requires annual returns and notices of accidents in mines and quarries to be given, and in the case of accidents in factories and workshops notice must be sent to the district inspector, and also in certain events to the certifying surgeon of the district. In the case of mines, however, provision for notice is now made by the (English) Coal Mines Act, 1911, Part IV. see CERTIFYING SURGEON; COAL MINES. Notice of accident must be in writing when given under s. 4 of the Employers Liability Act, 1880 [Keen v. Millwall Dock Co., (1882) 8 QBD 482]; or under s. 2 (1) of the (English) Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906 [see now (English) Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925, s. 14] [Hughes v. Coed Talon Co., (1909) 1 KB 957]; or under the (English) Coal Mines Act, 1911; notice of road accident by motor vehicle, see (English) Road Traffic Act, 1930, s. 22.
