Forester's Equity Reports, 276.

Co. Litt. Sec. 211.

I am informed that the custom also prevails in some of the Duchy manors in Cornwall, but I cannot at present give you the names.

I may be able to add to this list in a future communication, and I hope to see in your pages some considerable additions to this list from other correspondents.

As to the continuance of the custom to modern times, nothing can alter it but an act of parliament; so that where the custom has prevailed, it is still the law of descent: and I have had under my notice a descent of copyhold property, in the manors of Lambeth and Kennington, to the youngest brother within the present century.

There is a farm of about a hundred acres in the parish of Sullescombe in Sussex, which is held by this tenure; but whether the adjoining land is so, I am not aware. In case of the owner dying intestate, the land would go to the younger son; but I am not aware of an instance of this having occurred.
