When leaseholds included in a devise of land

A devise of the land of the testator, or of the land of the testator in any place, or in the occupation of any person mentioned in his will or otherwise described in a general manner, and any other general devise which would describe a leasehold estate, if the testator had no freehold estate which could be described by it, shall be construed to include the leasehold estates of the testator, or his leasehold estates, or any of them to which such description shall extend, as the case may be, as well as freehold estates, unless a contrary intention may appear by the will.
