VERAY - This is an ancient manner of
spelling urai, true.
In the English law, there are three kinds of tenants:
1. Veray, or true tenant, who is one who holds in fee
simple. 2. Tenant by the manner, who is one who has
a less estate than a fee which remains in the reversioner.
3. Veray tenant by the manner, who is the same as tenant
by the manner, with this difference only, that the fee
simple, instead of remaining in the lord, is given by
him or by the law to another.
VERAY TENANT, or TRUE TENANT
- Eng. law. One who holds a fee simple; in pleadings,
he is called simply tenant. He differs from a tenant
by the manner in this, that the latter holds a less
estate than a fee which remains in the reversioner.
A veray tenant by the manner is the same as tenant
by the manner, with this difference only, that the fee
simple, instead of remaining in the land, is given by
him or by the law, to another.
