CURIOUS ENGLISH CUSTOMS.
Some Interesting Facts About LAND
Tenures-Rights and Privileges.

Few subjects connected with the US
ages of the past are more curious or
more interesting than the various SER
vices attached to the tenures of man
ors. Many of these date back to re-
mote period, hence there is some diff
fculty in determining their original
import. In many cases, too, they are
recorded in private charters, grants
and other deeds, oftentimes not access
sible. For this reason they have long
escaped that attention which. as relics
of the legal rites of bygone times, they
deserve Numerous illustrations OF
these peculiar tenures occur In assOcl-
alton with Christmas. and at this sea
son notice of some of them may De
interesting.
For instance the manor of Hawarden
| in Cheshire, which will always be Fam
Gus as the country residence OF Mr
| Gladstone, has been identified with
| curious immortal custom. According
/ to an entry in one of the HarleiaI
| manuscripts, it appears that TINS
manor was formerly held OF the Knt
