In addition to the few English-managed estates it was only in Ulster that matters were otherwise, owing to the existence of the custom an embryo copyhold, Lord Devon called it known as tenant-right.
All who have at any time owned or purchased what is known as copyhold land might be supposed to know something of the nature of the title on which such land is held.
"Ay, in very truth, Anthony, or there comes no copyhold in thy way," replied his inflexible associate. "I always foresaw it would land there!" said Foster. "But how, Sir Richard, how? for not to win the world would I put hands on her." "I cannot blame thee," said Varney; "I should be reluctant to do that myself. We miss Alasco and his manna sorely ay, and the dog Lambourne."
