Opinion

(1793.)

In evidence, one of the jury asked the court whether, if the lord makes a lease to a copyholder by parole, this confounds the copyholder. Cur. viz. HYDE, C. J., and JONES, J. It does, if livery be given; otherwise by deed.

JONES, J.

If it be a lease for life, the copyhold is gone, without livery thereon. Quod non fuit negatum.
