Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The word "tenement" is not restricted to lands and other matters which are the subject of tenure. Everything in which a man can have an estate of freehold, and which is connected with land or savours of the realty, is a tenement. Thus the word includes not only land, as the corporeal subject formerly of inheritance, but also all rights which... would have been heritable issuing out of land, or concerning, or annexed to, or exercisable over, land, although they do not lie in tenure....(Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 39, p. 264).  1, record 1, English, - tenement
