(a) Sometimes the deed containing the covenants for title and production of muniments follows the surrender instead of preceding it as above, in which case a recital of the surrender would be substituted for the covenant to surrender; but as the latter plan has no practical advantage over the former (the technical objection with respect to the covenants running with the land in the former case, see Dav. Prec. II., pt. 1, 366, not arising under the statutory covenants), and the statutory covenants for title could not in the latter case be implied (see p. 368, note), a form of such a deed is not given.

(b) See above, p. 365, note, p. 406, note (e), and as to implying the statutory covenants for title in the case of copyholds, see p. 368, note.
