Copyhold Act, 1887

Notice to be given by the steward to the tenant.

1. On the admittance or enrolment of any tenant after the thirty-first day of December one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, the steward of the manor shall be bound, without any further charge, to give to the tenant so admitted or enrolled a notice in the form or to the effect following:

Take notice that, if you desire that the copyhold land which you hold of this manor of shall become freehold, you are entitled to enfranchise the same upon paying the lord’s compensation and the steward’s fees. The lord’s compensation may be fixed either by agreement between the lord and you, or by any valuer appointed by yourselves, or through the agency of the Land Commissioners, to whom you may make application, if you think fit, to effect the enfranchisement of your land.

If the steward neglects to serve such notice he shall not be entitled to any fee for that admission or enrolment.
