Whether it is 'federal' or 'feudal', I still do not think the meaning that
you found is relevant, certainly not to 16th or 17th century Quarter
Sessions documents on which you appear to be working. I do not recall
coming across the term 'inholder' even in a medieval context, where feudal
relationships might be significant.

Thanks, Peter.
I found it a big mistake to regard "Federal" as "feudal"...
