surrender of copyhold

surrender of copyhold
The mode of conveying or transferring copyhold property from one person to another by means of a surrender, which consisted in the yielding up of the estate by the tenant into the hands of the lord for such purposes as were expressed in the surrender. The process in most manors was for the tenant to come to the steward, either in court or out of court, or else to two customary tenants of the same manor, provided there was a custom to warrant it, and there, by delivering up a rod, a glove, or other symbol, as the custom directs, to resign into the hands of the lord, by the hands and acceptance of his steward, or of the said two tenants, all his interest and title to the estate, in trust, to be again granted out by the lord to such persons and for such uses as were named in the surrender, and as the custom of the manor would warrant.
