If a deed be made by more parties than one, there ought to be regularly as many copies of it as there are parties, and each should be cut or indented (formerly in acute angles "instar dentium," like the teeth of a saw, but at present in a waving line) on the top or side, to tally or correspond with the other; which deed so made, is called an indenture. (Blackstone, 15th ed., 1809, Book II, c. 20, p. 295) 1, record 1, English, - indenture
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In modern practice the indenture as well as the deed poll is written on a single sheet of paper, the indenture not being "indented" as anciently; the difference between the two being that the indenture is signed by both grantor and grantee, the deed poll being signed only by the grantor.
