Each of these societies is, or bears the marks of having been, a compact and organically complete assemblage of men, occupying a definite area of land. Thus far it resembles the old cultivating communities, but it differs from them in Ixnng held together by a variety of subordinate rela- tions to a feudal chief, single or corporate, the Lord. I will call the new group the Manorial group, and though my words must not be taken ns strictly correct, I will say that a group of tenants, autocra- tica...lly organised and governed, has succeeded a 184 THK MANORIAL GROUP. liict. v. group of households of which the orgimifiation and government were democratic. The new group, us known to our law, is often in a state of dissolution, but, where it is perfect, it consists of a number of ])ersoiis holding land of the Lord by free tenures, and of a number of persons holding land of the Lord by tenures capable of being shown to have been, in their origin, servile — the authority of the Lord being exercised over both classes, although in different ways, through the ag(^ncy of a peculiar tribunal, the Coart Baron.
