_Frebord_ (Vol. v., p. 440.).--It may possibly assist the inquiries of your
correspondents SPES and P. M. M. to be informed that the right of Frebord
belongs to many estates in the midland counties. In some instances in
Leicestershire the claim extends from the boundary hedge of one lordship to
the extent of twenty-one feet over the land of the adjoining lordship; it
is here understood to represent a _deer's leap_, and is said to have been
given with the original grant of the manor, in order to secure to the lord
a right to take the deer he happened to shoot when in the act of leaping
from his domain into his neighbour's manor.
