Coparceners held in undivided shares. Each coparcener held a distinct but undivided share which might be equal or unequal in size to the shares of the others. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 431). 1, record 3, English, - undivided%20share
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Unlike joint tenants, tenants in common hold in undivided shares : each tenant in common has a distinct share in property which has not yet been divided among the co-tenants. Thus tenants in common have quite separate interests; the only fact which brings them into co-ownership is that they both have shares in a single property which has not yet been divided among them. While the tenancy in common lasts, no one can say which of them owns any particular parcel of land.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 396). 1, record 3, English, - undivided%20share

Strictly speaking, métayer agreements are those whereby farmers hold land on the condition that they yield half the produce to the owner from whom they receive stock and tools. However, the term is applied generally to schemes for the working of land on shares where the farmer is not placed in possession of any distinct portion of the farm.(Williams & Rhodes, 6th ed., p. 1-7). 1, record 4, English, - m%C3%A9tayer%20agreement
