CORNAGE, an ancient tenure, the service whereof was to blow a horn when any invasion of the Scots was perceived. This tenure was very frequent in the northern counties near the Picts wall; but by stat. 12. Car. II. all tenures are converted into free and common soccage.—An old rental calls cornage, newtgeld, q. d. neat-geld. Lord Coke says, in old books it is called horngeld.
