FREE WARREN, Eng. law. A franchise¹ erected² for the preservation³ and custody⁴ of beasts and fowls⁵ of warren. 2 Bl. Com. 39; Co. Litt. 233.

FREEDMEN. The name formerly⁶ given by the Romans to those persons who had been released from a State of servitude. Vide Liberti libertini.

FREEDOM, Liberty; the right to do what is not forbidden by law. Freedom does not preclude⁷ the idea of subjection to law; indeed, it presupposes the existence of some legislative⁸ provision, the observance of which insures freedom to us, by securing the like observance from others. 2 Har. Cond. L. R. 208.

FREEHOLD, estates. An estate of freehold is an estate in lands or other real property, held by a free tenure⁹, for the life of the tenant¹⁰ or that of some other person; or for some uneertain period. It is called liberum tenementum, frank tenement¹¹ or freehold; it was formerly described to be such an estate as could only be created by livery of seisin, a ceremony similar to the investiture of the feudal¹² law. But since the introduction of certain modern conveyances¹³, by which an estate of freehold may be created without livery of seisin, this description is not sufficient.

2. There are two qualities essentially¹⁴ requisite¹⁵ to the existence of a freehold estate. 1. Iramobility; that is, the subject-matter must either be land, or some interest issuing out of or annexed¹⁶ to land. 2. A sufficient legal indeterminate duration; for if the utmost period of time to which an estate can last, is fixed¹⁷ and determined¹⁸, it is not an estate of freehold. For example, if lands are conveyed to a man and his heirs, or for his life, or for the life of another, or until he shall be married, or go to Europe, he has an estate of freehold; but if such lands are limited to a man for one hundred or five hundred years, if he shall so long live, he has not an estate of freehold. Cruise on Real Property t. 1, s. 13, 14 and 15 Litt. 59; 1 Inst. 42, a; 5 Mass. R. 419; 4 Kent, Com. 23; 2 Bouv. Inst. 1690, et seq. Freehold estates are of inheritance or not of inheritance. Cruise, t. 1, s. 42.

FREEHOLDER. A person who is the owner of a freehold estate.

FREEMAN. One who is in the enjoyment¹⁹ of the right to do whatever he pleases, not forbidden by law. One in the possession of the civil rights enjoyed by, the people generally. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 164. See 6 Watts, 556:
