Veray

An ancient manner of spelling vrai, true. In the English law there are three kinds of tenants, — veray, or true tenant, who is one who holds in fee simple; tenant by the manner (q. v.), who is one who has a less estate than a fee which remains in the reversioner; 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. Hammond, N. P. 394. VERBA ACCIPIENDA SUNT SECUNDum subjectum materiam. Words are to be interpreted according to the subject matter. 6 Coke, 6, note. VERBA ACCIPIENDA UT SORTIENTUR effectum. Words are to be taken so that they may have some effect. 4 Bac. Works, 258. VERBA AEQUIVOCA AC IN DUBIO SENsu posita, intelliguntur digniori et potentiorl sensu. Equivocal words, and those in a doubtful sense, are to be taken in their best and most effective sense. 6 Coke, 20. VERBA ALIQUID OPERARI DEBENT— debent lntellig,i ut aliquid operentur. Words ought to have some effect; words ought to be interpreted so as to give them some effect. 8 Coke, 94.
