FREEHOLD

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 76 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREEHOLD , in the English law of real property, an estate in land, not being less than an estate for life. An estate for a term of years, no matter how long, was considered inferior in dignity to an estate for life, and unworthy of a freeman (see ESTATE). " Some time before the reign of
Henry
  II., but apparently not so early as Domesday, the expression liberum tenementum was introduced to designate land held by a freeman by a free
tenure
 . Thus freehold
tenure
  is the sum of the rights and duties which
constitute the relation of a free
tenant
  to his lord."2 In this
' Her maiden name was Mary Ludwig. " Molly Pitcher " was a nickname given to her by the soldiers in reference to her carrying water to soldiers overcome by heat in the battle of Monmouth. She married Hays in 1769; Hays died soon after the war, and later she married one George McCauley. She lived for more than
forty
  years at
Carlisle
 , Penn., where a monument was erected to her memory in 1876.
2 Digby's History of the Law of Real Property.sense freehold is distinguished from copyhold, which is a tenure having its origin in the relation of lord and villein (see COPYHOLD). Freehold is also distinguished from leasehold, which is an estate for a fixed number of years only. By analogy the
interest
  of a person who holds an office for life is sometimes said to be a freehold
interest
 . The term customary freeholds is applied to a kind of copyhold tenure in the north of England, viz. tenure by copy of court-roll, but not, as in other cases, expressed to be at the will of the lord.
