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 Piets wall; but by stat. 12 Car. II. all tenures are converted into free and common socage.—An old rental calls cornage, newt-geldt, q. d. neat-geld. Lord Coke says, in old books it is called horngeld.
