NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 7&. 



incidents to the tenure are — 1. payment of fines; 

 2. situation in an ancient vill ; 3. attendance on 

 the lord's court ; 4. enjoyment of certain rights of 

 common. It may be that neitlier the y?«e nor tlie 

 vill forms a component part of the name ; but K. 

 need have no scruple in believing that an abbre- 

 viated Latin or " legal term " (invented, of course, 

 by the stewards or bailiffs of the lord) may have 

 become naturalised among those of the inhabitants 

 of the Moor whom it concerns. The tenants or 

 retainers of a manor have no alternative bat to 

 submit to any generic name by which the steward 

 may please to distinguish them. Thus the 

 " priors " and " censers " of Dartmoor forest are 

 content to be called by those names, because they 

 were designated as "prehurdarii" and "censarii" 

 in the court rolls some hundred years ago. The 

 tenants of a certain lordship in Cornwall know 

 and convey their tenements by the name of 

 Icmdams to this day, merely because the slewanls 

 two hundred years ago, when the court rolls were 

 in Latin, well knowing that landa was the Latin 

 for land, and that transitive verbs in that language 

 require an accusative ease, recorded each tenant 

 as having taken of the lord " unara landani, vo- 

 catam Tregollup," &c. Indeed so easily docs a 

 dipt exotic take root and become acclimated 

 among the peasantry of the Moor, whose powers 

 of appropriation are so much disparaged by the 

 sceptical doubts of K., that since the establish- 



ment of local courts the terms Jifa and casa have 

 become familiar to them as household words ; and 

 the name and uses of that article of abbreviated 

 Latinity calletl a ^bus are, as I am credibly in- 

 formed, not unknown to them. E. Smirkk
