VERAY TENANT, or TRUE TENANT, Eng. law. One who holds a fee simple; in
pleadings, he is called simply tenant. He differs from a tenant by the
manner in this, that the latter holds a less estate than a fee which remains
in the reversioner.
2. A veray tenant by the manner is the same as tenant by the manner,
with this difference only, that the fee simple, instead of remaining in the
land, is given by him or by the law, to another. Ham. N. P. 394.
