Tribe opportunity to geben to interpose whenever it had legal powerto do so, the acceptance of stock had to be open and public, and the consequencesof effecting it surreptitiously are elaborately set forth by the law.Hence one of the rules: “ no man should leave a rent on his land which hedid not find there.” (163, 164)Gehörten der Chief der den stock gab u. der Ceile der ihn accepted zumselben Tribe, so relation geschaffen verschieden von d. tribal connectionu. much more to the advantage o f the chief.

(Senchus Mor.33 II, 2 2 ;). Thecommentary goes on to say, that sometimes “ it is by the successor of Patrick[dies statt “ Pope” ] that the stock is given to the King of Erin” . (164-166)This natural growth of feudalism was not, as some eminent recent writershave supposed, entirely distinct from the process by which the authorityo f the Chief or Lord over the Tribe or Village was extended, but ratherformed part o f it. While the unappropriated waste lands were falling intohis domain, the villagers or tribesmen were coming through natural (?)agencies under his personal power.
