DUE v. MELkiln.

This cause occupied nearly the whole day. It
was an salon agatuit the Churchwardens of the Pa-
rish of West Ham, in which the leksors of the PlJin-

be a copyhold within their manor ; and the Defend-
ant insisted they were fieehold, and not held of the
manor.

James to Sir Nicholaci Bacon, in trust for Prince
Charles nod Heinlein' Maria his wife, and after
their death for the use of Queen Catharine, affirmed

Booth., Es 4. and ultimately, in 1804, it wts sold
under the. LAW' Tax Atls,• to the present Plaintiffs.

hathentary survey made in the year 1646, in which
the spot in question was described as a freehold,
with a quit-rent of six-pence, which always from
that period had been received. But the Learned
Judge obserired, it. being a Royal Manor, -if it;had
heen%.enfranchised, it most be rby record, and no
