Incidents

If the Copyholds sorts of the tenure in question are to be abolished, why must
separate mention of incidents to those in the guise of a separate
object capable of existing without them

In Arts. 1. all tenure except Copyholds are to be ipso facto utterly abolished.
As to the Copyholds in Art. 2 they are to be enfranchised.

But in addition to the abolition enfranchisement of the Copyhold
in operation mentioned as a distinct and additional one is — the extinction
of all feudal rent reliefs thereon (in Art. 1 as

they were not had not been mentioned. Are

Are there any that are not attached to Copyholds? What
a jump is this from and without warning, for incidents belonging
to Copyholds to incidents not belonging to Copyholds!
And what tenure is it they belong to if not to Copyhold tenure?
