¶1In evidence, one of the jury asked the court whether, if the lord makes a lease to a copyholder by parole, this confounds the copyholder. Cur. viz. HYDE, C. J., and JONES, J. It does, if livery be given; otherwise by deed. If it be a lease for life, the copyhold is gone, without livery thereon.Quod non fuit negatum.
