Tenure \Ten"ure\, n. [F. tenure, OF. teneure, fr. F. tenir to
hold. See Tenable.]
1. The act or right of holding, as property, especially real
estate.
[1913 Webster]
That the tenure of estates might rest on equity, the
Indian title to lands was in all cases to be
quieted. --Bancroft.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Eng. Law) The manner of holding lands and tenements of a
superior.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Tenure is inseparable from the idea of property in
land, according to the theory of the English law; and
this idea of tenure pervades, to a considerable extent,
the law of real property in the United States, where
the title to land is essentially allodial, and almost
all lands are held in fee simple, not of a superior,
but the whole right and title to the property being
vested in the owner. Tenure, in general, then, is the
particular manner of holding real estate, as by
exclusive title or ownership, by fee simple, by fee
tail, by courtesy, in dower, by copyhold, by lease, at
will, etc.
[1913 Webster]
3. The consideration, condition, or service which the
occupier of land gives to his lord or superior for the use
of his land.
[1913 Webster]
4. Manner of holding, in general; as, in absolute
governments, men hold their rights by a precarious tenure.
[1913 Webster]
All that seems thine own,
Held by the tenure of his will alone. --Cowper.
[1913 Webster]
Tenure by fee alms. (Law) See Frankalmoigne.
[1913 Webster]

3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
TENURE, estates. The manner in which lands or tenements are holden.
2. According to the English law, all lands are held mediately or
immediately from the king, as lord paramount and supreme proprietor of all
the lands in the kingdom. Co. Litt. 1 b, 65 a; 2 Bl. Com. 105.
3. The idea of tenure; pervades, to a considerable degree, the law of
real property in the several states; the title to land is essentially
allodial, and every tenant in fee simple has an absolute and perfect title,
yet in technical language, his estate is called an estate in fee simple, and
the tenure free and common socage. 3 Kent, Com. 289, 290. In the states
formed out of the North Western Territory, it seems that the doctrine of
tenures is not in force, and that real estate is owned by an absolute and
allodial title. This is owing to the wise provisions on this subject
contained in the celebrated ordinance of 1787. Am. Jur. No. 21, p. 94, 5. In
New York, 1 Rev. St. 718; Pennsylvania, 5 Rawle, R. 112; Connecticut, 1 Rev.
L. 348 and Michigan, Mich. L. 393, feudal tenures have been abolished, and
lands are held by allodial titles. South Carolina has adopted the statute,
12 C. II., c. 24, which established in England the tenure of free and common
socage. 1 Brev. Dig. 136. Vide Wright on Tenures; Bro. h.t.; Treatises of
Feuds and Tenures by Knight's service; 20 Vin Ab. 201; Com. Dig. h.t.; Bac.
Ab. h. Thom. Co. Litt. Index, h.t.; Sulliv. Lect. Index, h.t.
