The form of a bargain and sale of copyholds from a commis-
sioner, and the assignees of a bankrupt tenant in tail, to a
purchaser will be so similar to the last, that it has been
thought unnecessary to give the form at length.

If there be a protector, his consent will be requisite to the
acquisition of the absolute interest in the property; and
attention must be paid to the entry of the deeds on the
court rolls.
