WASSAIL (0. Eng. woes hal, " be whole," " be well ")

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 361 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WASSAIL (0. Eng. woes hal, " be whole," " be well ") , primarily I gr
is waste chaln or eat r, and he may use the p profits a alvahrerum lsubstantia (to use the
language of Roman law, from which the English law of waste is in
great
  measure derived). For instance, he may cut timber in a husband-like manner and open mines; but he may not commit what is called equitable waste, that is, pull down or deface the
mansion
  or destroy timber planted or left for ornament or shelter (Weld-Blundell v. Wolseley, 1903, 2 Ch. 664). Acts of equitable waste were, before 1875, not cognizable in courts of common law, but by the Judicature Act 1873, S. 25 (3), in the absence of
special
  provisions to that effect an estate for life without
impeachment
  of waste does not confer upon the
tenant
  for life any legal light to commit equitable waste. A copy-holder may not commit waste unless allowed to do so by the custom of the manor. The penalty for waste is forfeiture of the copyhold; Galbraith v. Foynton, 1905, 2 K.B. 258 (see Copy-HOLD). The Agricultural Holdings Acts 1900 and 1906, by reason of their provisions giving compensation for improvement, as regards the holdings to which they apply, override some of the old common law doctrines as to waste. The act of 1900 provides (s. 2 [31) that where a
tenant
 , who claims compensation for improvements, has wrongfully been guilty of waste, either voluntary or permissive, the
landlord shall be entitled to set off the sums due to him in respect
a bowl which was carried round the streets by
young
  girls of such waste, and to have them assessed by arbitration in manner singing carols at Christmas and the New Year. This ancient provided by the acts of 1900 and 1906. Under the act of 1906 the custom still survives here and there, especially in Yorkshire, tenant is I emitted to disregard the terms of his tenancy as to the
where the bowl is known as " the vessel cup," and is made of holly and evergreens, inside which are placed one er two dolls trimmed with ribbons. This cup is borne on a stick by children who go from
house
  to
house
  singing Christmas carols. In Devonshire and elsewhere it was the custom to
wassail
  the orchards on Christmas and New Year's eve. Pitchers of ale or cider were poured over the roots of the trees to the accompaniment of a rhyming toast to their healths.
