B. or his heirs, or any other person or persons whomsoever, lawfully or equitably claiming, or to claim, any estate, right, title, trust, or interest in, to, or out of the same hereditaments and premises, or any part thereof respectively, by, through, under, or in trust for him, them, or any of them.

15. And that free and clear, and freely, clearly, and absolutely acquitted, exonerated, and released, and for ever discharged or otherwise, by him the said [vendor] his heirs, executors, and administrators, well and sufficiently protected, defended, saved harmless, and kept indemnified of, from, and against all and all manner of former and other estates, titles, charges, liens, claims, and incumbrances whatsoever, at any time, or from time to time hereafter, had, made, occasioned, permitted, or suffered by him the said [vendor] or his heirs, or any person claiming, or to claim by, from, through, under, or in trust for him, them, or any of them, or by his, their, or any of their acts, means, consent, default, privity, or pro

16. And moreover, that he the said [vendor], and his heirs, and all and every other person and persons having, or lawfully or equitably, or rightfully claiming, or to claim any estate, right, title, trust, charge, or interest at law or in equity, of, in, to, or out of the said freehold and copyhold hereditaments, hereby released and mentioned to be surrendered, or intended so to be, or any part thereof respectively, by, from, through, under or in trust for him or them, shall and will from time to time and at all times hereafter, upon every reasonable request, and at the costs and charges of the said [purchaser], his heirs or assigns, make, do, acknowledge, pass, execute, and perfect, or cause or procure to be made, &c., all such further and reasonable acts, deeds, conveyances, surrenders, and assurances in the law whatsoever, for the further, better, more perfectly, lawfully, and absolutely or satisfactorily conveying and confirming, or otherwise assuring the said freehold and copyhold hereditaments, and every part and part thereof respectively, with their respective appurtenances, unto and to the use of the said [purchaser], his heirs and assigns for ever as aforesaid, and according to the true intent and meaning of these presents, and of the said mentioned surrender, as by the said [purchaser], his heirs or assigns, or his or their counsel in the law, shall be reasonably devised, or advised

and required, and tendered to be made, done, passed, or executed. In witness, &c.

Forms of conveyances with a covenant to surrender the copyhold, will be found in Serjeant Scriven's and Mr. Coventry's works, and in most books of Conveyancing Precedents; but it is really so imprudent to rest satisfied with a covenant, when a surrender may so readily be obtained in all cases, that it is deemed useless to add any such forms here,

The surrender can be drawn from No. 276, &c., adding at the statement of the consideration, money being

the apportioned consideration money on sale, &c."
