[[999-year lease|999-year]] [[leasehold]]) as a result of the Copyhold Acts during the 19th century. By this time, servitude to the lord of the manor was merely token, discharged on purchasing the copyhold by payment of a "fine in respite of [[fealty]]". The '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1841}}''' ([[4 & 5 Vict.]] c. 35), '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1843}}''' ([[6 & 7 Vict.]] c. 23), '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1844}}''' ([[7 & 8 Vict.]] c. 55), '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1852}}''' ([[15 & 16 Vict.]] c. 51), '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1858}}''' ([[21 & 22 Vict.]] c. 94) and '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1887}}''' ([[50 & 51 Vict.]] c. 73) were consolidated in the '''{{visible anchor|Copyhold Act 1894}}''' ([[57 & 58 Vict.]] c. 46).<ref>[http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1894/46/pdfs/ukpga_18940046_en.pdf Copyhold Act 1894]</ref> Part V of the [[Law of Property Act 1925]] finally abolished all remaining statutes.
