To the Reader.

GENTLE READER,

I Hope I shall not need to use either ma­ny words or much eloquence in the commendation of this small although polite Abridgment, in regard not on­ly of the fame of the honorable and learned author, out of which this was abstracted, but likewise in respect of the living worth of the deceased Sir Thomas Ireland, the judicious Composer of this work: You have been lately pleased to ac­cept of a former peece of his, which imboldeneth me to present you with this further fruit of his la­bors in the like nature, for the generall good of the Common-wealth. If any errors have passed the Presse, blame the Printer; I humbly conceive I have more reason to be sorry for that then your self.

THE ABRIDGMENT OF THE REPORTS OF THE Lord DYER.

The fourth yeer of Hen. 8.
Pas. 1. Fol. 1.

IN debt upon an Obligation, the Defendant pleaded in Bar, that it was indorsed upon Condition, to make Accompt, &c. And that the Plaintiffe had accepted of a Lease at Will, in satisfaction of all Accompts, Judgment, &c. The Plaintiffe demurred. And it was adjudged no Bar; For where a Condition is Collateral, the acceptance of another thing is no [...] con­trary, where the Condition is to pay money; accord [...], 2 H. 4. 9. H. 7. 17. & 20.

2. Attaint and Error were maintained by him in rever­sion, after the death of the Tenant for life (upon erroni­ous [Page 2]Judgment or false verdict given against the Tenant) at the Common law. And now by the Statute 9 Rich. 2. cap. 3. they are maintainable in the life of the Tenant, 18. Edw. 3. Errour 32. Scire sacias was brought by the Feoffees of the Conusor, being a stranger to the Record. If after a Parson hath recovered an Annuitie, the Benefice be appropriate, or union made, the Abbot or the Parson shall have a Scire facias upon the said recovery, if again there be Arrerages. And it was said, If the King grants his own Recognizance, it shall be sued in the name of the Grantee; But if he grants an Obligation forfeit by outlawry, it shalbe in the Kings name.

3. In a Quare impedit against Cook and his Clerk, it was holden, That a Clerk is not enabled by the stat. 25 Ed. 3. c. 7. by the word Possessor, to plead in Bar, til Induction, for it is that which makes him possessor; upon that he pleaded he disturbed not.

Mich. 6 H. 8. fol. 2.

4. Repleg. Empson avowed for a Rent-Charge granted to him by a stranger, who as seised of the land where, &c. pro consilio impendendo. It was pleaded in Bar, that the Defendant was attaint of Treason, and committed to the Tower, and that the Grantor had businesse for to have his counsell, and could not have accesse to him, &c. and upon Demurrer, Judgment was, that the Avowdant shall have the Rent, for the Rent cannot be forfeit, neither granted over. As land given by the King to a Duke to maintain his dignity, may not be granted. Also the Defendant be­ing in prison may give counsell, as well as when he is at large, and no default is Assigned in him.

5. In debt against the Executors of Redy, at the issue, upon Fully administred pleaded, &c. the Plaintiffe gave in eviden [...] that they had goods in their hands; the Defendant pleade [...] that they redeemed part of them with their own money, which goods were pledged by the Testator to the full value, and for the residue that they had paid for the [Page 3]Testator, so much to the full value. And upon Demurrer, It was adjudged a good evidence to maintain the issue, for a man shall have recompence for that which he hath law­fully paid; as a Disseisor paying rent it shal [...] be recoaped in damages. And it is not like the case, where the Testator devises that his Executors shall sell his land, for in that case they may not retain it; because it is the will of the Testator that they shall sell.

6. Alien born is no plea in disability in an Action per­sonall, except he be of the allegeance of the Kings Enemy; Contrary in a reall Action, for an Alien may not have land in the Realm, if he be not made a Denizen.

Pas. 3. 19 H. 8. fo. 3.

7. A fine was levyed by Tenant in Tayle, after the 4 H. 7. cap. 24. and proclamations passed, and five yeers incurred, after Tenant in taile died; the question was, Whether the Issue shalbe barred as privy, because he is to make his con­veyance by his Father, or that hee shall not be reputed privy, because hee claimes per forman Doni, and then his right be saved, by the second saving, because he is the first to whom the right descended after the fine engrossed; vide new stat. 32 H. 8. But it was agreed, that if he to whom the remainder in taile or other title first accrued, suffered five yeers to incur without claime, that this laches of the Ancestor shall bar the issue.

Tri. 4.

8. By Brudnel and Eglesfield; If a man make two Exe­cutors, provided, that the one of them shall not administer, that it is a void hecaiso, because it restrains all the authori­te given in the premises, and the intent which agrees not with the law is not to the purpose; As a device to A. in fee, and if he die without heir that it shall remain, &c. is a void remainder. So a device to the Abbot of [...] Peter, where the foundation is St. Pauls: And so then [...]action of debt was well brought in the name of both the Execu­tors, notwithstanding the proviso: But Fitzh, was of opi­nion, [Page 4]that it was a good proviso, because he may bring an Action although he doth not Administer, and that a man may make one man Executor of his Plate, and another of his Goods, and another of his Debts: And may make an Executor of his Goods in one County, and another Execu­tor of his Goods in another County.

Tri. 24 H. 8.

9. Rusdens Case: Termor rend [...]ing Rent granted his term in parcell of the land; the Grantee made a Feoff­ment; it was said, that an Action of Debt lyeth not for the Rent, till the Reversion be recontinued, quia accessor sequi­tur, &c. As a Disseisee of a Manor, with an Advouson appendant may not present after the descent, till hee hath recontinued the Manor; Contrary before descent, because his entry is congeable: & upon Recontinuance supra, he may sue the first lessee for the intire rent, & the privity remains as well when parcell of the land is granted, as when parcell of the term is granted: and no apportionment shalbe made; for before the stat. Quia emptor, no apportionment was by the act of the party, but by the act of the Law, and par­ticular estates yet abide at the Common law per Henley.

Mich. 25 H. 8.

10. The youngest brother disseised the eldest brother, who is Barred in an Assize by false oath, the youngest bro­ther Charged the land, and died without Issue, and the land descended to the eldest; he is without remedy to avoid the Charge, for hee shall not be remitted against the Record; and there was not any against whom hee might bring an Attaint.

11. Stat. 21 H. 8. A Servant receives money upon an obligation, or upon sale of wares, and goes away with the money; It seems not to be within the statute, for hee had not [...] money by the delivery of the Master: But contrary [...] it, if hee had money by the delivery of another Servant; for it is the Masters delivery by another: So if he bad gone away with the obligation it selfe, it seems not to [Page 5]be within the statute, because it is a thing in action and not valuable; whereas the words of the statute are of Goods to the value of 40. s. Yet Fitzh. opinion was, That by the Grant of all Goods and Chattels, an Obligation shal passe.

12. Idemptitate nominis lieth of Surnames, and not of the names of Baptisme.

Mich. 13. 26 H. 8.

13. Knowles let land which was devisable, for yeers ren­dring rent, and devised the rent to A. It was holden, that the Executor, and not the Heir of the Devisee shall have it, because it is but a Chattell in the Devisee: But Baldwin and Shelly held, that the Devise was void, being a new thing, to which the Custome reacheth not: But Fitzh. made a diversity, where Rent is incident to the Reversion, there it shall be of the nature of the land; But contrary of a new Rent Charge.

14. An Indenture of Bargain and Sale, in which were divers Covenants, & in the end were these words, ad quas convenc. perimpl. oblig [...] me in 20. l. &c. In debt brought upon that, payment is no plea without an Acquittance; for it is as a single Obligation, 28 H. 8. 25. idem.

15. In a Formedon against A. B. & C. A. & B. Confessed the action: But C. pleaded Jointenancy with B. without that that A. any thing had; the Demandant main­tained his Writ, viz. that they three are all Jointenants, and upon that Issue was taken, and holden by the Court a good Issue; But the Demandant shall not have Judgment for any part till the Issue be tryed.

Pas. 28 H. 8.

16. Lease for yeers by Indenture: the Lessee covenanted and granted, that if his Executors or Assignes did alien, that it should be lawfull for the Lessor to enter. After he made his wife Executrix and died, the woman took another husband, and he aliened, now if this was a breach of the Condition or no, was the Question: Some held not, be­cause the husband is in by the law, and not Assignee, as [Page 6]is Tenant by the Curtesie, and the Lord of a villaine, &c. But Brown and Shelley held, that the husband is Assignee in law, and that the lands are subject to the Condition in whose hands soever they shall come: Quere if the words supra make a Condition. And if a new Lease before en­try be good, to which all said, It was not.

17. In a Precipe the vouchee was returned dead, per Cu­riam the Tenant may vouch at large, for the Vouchee never entred into warranty; Quere if he may vouch one as Heire within age, because the plea shall abide for the non­age of the Vouchee.

18. A Termour devised his term to his eldest daughter and her Issues, the remainder to the youngest daugh­ter, &c. the eldest died without Issue, and her husband aliened the term. Baldwin and Shelley held, that the youn­gest daughter is without remedy; because a void remain­der being only of a term, as it is of a Chattle personal; En­glefield contrary, because of the intent.

19. By Shelley the Philizers Office may not be granted although it be a frank-tenement, of which an Assize lieth, because it is an Office of trust, for it may not be aliened; the same law of an Office of Carver, &c.

Trin. 89. 10, 11, 12.

20. In a Writ of Gard the case was, before 27 H. 8. a man infeoffed I. S. of land held by knight service, to the use of Bokenham and his heirs. After J. S. infeoffed J. N. to the use of Bokenham and his wife, and to the heirs of Boken­ham, after Bokenham died, and his wife yet living, having a son within age: And it was holden, that he shall be in ward in the life of the feme, by stat. 4. Hen. 7. as the Heir of Cestui que use; for the ancient use is not gone, but only for so much as it was altered in, so that it is a Reversion in the son, and not a new Remainder, for a thing may not be given to a man which he had before, as if Tenant in tail infeoffe him in [...]version it is no discontinuance.

It was the Lord Rosses case; that Cestui que use of two [Page 7]acres, one holden by priority, the other by posteriority, made a feoffement of both to his own use, it made not a owelty, because the use remains.

The Writ here supposed, that B. held of the Plain­tiffe, &c. and counted that he was but Cestui que use, so that the Feoffees held. But by Knightly, because stat. 4 H. 7. gives the Gard, and appoints not a speciall Writ, the gene­rall Writ, and speciall Count is good: as warrant Chart. shall be unde Chart' babet, yet his Count may be upon war­ranty by Homage ancestrall. By Knightly also, that the use behoveth to be altered by reason of the person, as the King, or a Corporation may not bee seised to an use; so of the estate, as an estate for life or in taile, because of the tenure, except the use be expressed, or for money, because of the Consideration: and holden, that a warranty is not sufficient consideration to alter an use, so a feofment rendring rent is no consideration, because it is issuing out of the same land: Also it was argued by him, that a Lease to two, for the life of one, stands well in jointure, although no survi­vour on one part: Also a lease for anothers life, without impeachment of waste, the remainder for his own life, that drowns the lesser estate, and makes h [...] presently punisha­ble by wast: Also by Brown, If an infant make a feofment, and die without Heir, the feoffee is Tenant by title, and therefore the Lord may not enter for Escheat.

21. Tenant in taile made a Lease for life, the remainder to the Donor in Fee. Quere if it be not a discontinuance, and vesteth a new Fee in the Donor; Knightly it seems not, because he may not lose and take Fee by one and the same livery.

13.

22. Upon a divorce the woman shall have her goods a­gain which were given in marriage; except they are spent, per Fitzh. and Shelley, because they were given for ad­vancement of the woman, & Cessante causa, &c. As upon deraignment, the party shall re-have. 13 Ed. 3. upon di­vorce [Page 8]vorce he shall lose the land: for which cause it was moved, Fitzh, that it shall bee divided.

23. By Shelley and Baldwin, a Presentment in the Leet of Blood-shed may not bee traversed after the day of the presentment; contrary of things which touch franck-tene­ment. Leets were derived out of the Turn of the Sheriffe, by Fitzherbert.

14.

24. A Lease to the husband and wife by Indenture, with proviso, that if they are disposed to alien, that the Lessor shall have the first offer, if he would give for it as another would; It was doubted whether it be a Condition or no; but by Shelley, if it bee but a covenant, the wife shall bee bound by that if she survives, and occupy, especially being a covenant which ariseth upon the estate, vide 46 E. 3. 38 Ed. 3. A feoffement to two with covenants, and but one sealed to the same, the other survived and occupied, and he was bound by the seal of his companion; and by Shelley in the case supra, It sufficeth to make proffer, without saying what is offered by others, till the Lessor said that hee would have it, which ought to bee shewed presently, with­out respit of consideration peremptory for hindring the sale.

25. A Termor covenanted in his Lease to build, and no mention of his Executors, the term expired, and the Lessee died, Fitzh. and Shelley held, that the Executors shall be charged. But the heir shall not bee charged upon an Obligation, except he be named; But Baldwin said, that the covenant supra, sounded but to wrong and da­mage, which dieth with the person; but upon an Obli­gation the Executors shall bee charged without being named.

26. In Debt against a Termor; it was adjudged, that non habuit, nec occupavit, is no plea; but otherwise it is of a Tenant at will, per Fitzh.

[Page 9] 27. By Mountegue it is cleer law, if a feoffement bee made to foure without deed, and livery bee made but to one, that nothing passeth to the rest; & non ne­git.

15, 16, 17.

28. The Condiiton of an Obligation for marriage mo­ney was, That if the woman die before Michaelmas with­out issue of her body then living, that the Obligation shall be void; She had issue and died, and after before Michael­mas the issue died; and it was adjudged that the Obligati­on was void for (then living) shall have relation to the next antecedent, viz. Michaelmas, and not to the death of the woman; and the Condition being for advantage of the Obligor, if it be doubtfull it shall be construed to his best advantage; and in doubtfull words, that interpretation shall bee taken which is most agreeable to the intent, and the intent is apparent that it was regarded to the continuance of the issue; Besides where the intent of the parties is to have continuance in a thing, the thing which they would have continued, shal be referred to the very last time which possibly it can, per Fitzh. as a Condition to graffe stocks before Christmas then growing, shall bee referred to Christmas; so that if they die or faile before Christmas, the Condition is bro­ken, and there it is holden, that where Death and Life are in issue, it shall bee tryed where the issue was in life; so that it seems, that hee who pleaded that the issue was dead, needs not to shew the place of his death.

18.

29. A recovery to my use, and after I infeoffe the Reco­verer, yet it is holden, that he shall be in by the Recovery, and so still seised to my use.

30. A man seised of two acres of land in one county, let one to A. for yeers, and the other to B. for yeers, [Page 10]and after infeoffed a stranger of all his lands in the said County, livery in one acre in the name of all is not good for the other; Contrary, if the other had been but Tenant at will; But if he had been Tenant at will to my Disseisor per Knightly my feoffement may not determine the will of another.

31. A man made a Lease of a house, and after infeoffed a stranger of the house, and of one acre in possession, and made livery in the house (the wife of the Termor being there) in name of all, And by Shelley, if the livery be void in regard of the house, it shall not be a good livery within the view for the acre of land in possession; because the in­tent to make actuall livery, and not livery in law, which also shall not be done but in case of necessity: But Knightly hold, that the acre shall passe.

19.

32. Trespasse of a close broken in O. the Defendant justified in S. without that hee is culpable in O. And by the Court it shall be entred generally not culpable, vide 9. H. 6.

33. A Lease reserving wood and underwoods; the Ter­mor cut, holden, that no waste lies, because the statute is in terris, boscis, &c. sibi dimissis, &c. By reservation of woods the land is not reserved, by Shelley, for the Tenant shall have the herbage, &c. But by a Grant of woods the land shall passe, because the deed of every man shalbe ta­ken most strongly against himselfe; and in a writ of En­try, where the demand is of twenty acres of wood, the land shal be also recovered.

34. In Action upon the case by two, for calling them false Knaves and Theeves, per Curiam they may not join, because the defamation of the one is not the defamation of the other. So in false imprisonment.

35. Per Curiam, If an Obligation be made, and faile in words, in cujus rei testimonium sigill', &c. yet it is good if it be sealed.

[Page 11] 36. Per Curiam, Obligamus nos & utrumque nostrum is severall as well as quemlibet nostrum.

37. A Lessor covenanted that the lessee shall have suf­ficient hedgebote by the assignment of his Bailiffe, and fuell.

1. By Shelley, He may not take without assignment, quia modus & conventio vincunt legem.

2. That the Copulative (&) makes it, that he behoves to have Assignment of the fuell; Baldwin and Shelley con­trary, not being words in the negative, & non aliter.

20, 21, 22.

38. In debt by A. against the Administrators of G. Wod­dy, and counted upon such a Bill, viz. Be it known to all men, &c. that I G. W. have received 20. l. of A. J. to bear the adventure to Roan, an there to bestow it in Herrings, and to see them shipped, and A. to bear the adventure home, and averred that G.W. had not bestowed it in Herrings, and it was adjudged that an Action of Debt lieth very well upon the said Bill; for an Accompt lieth not against Exe­cutors or Administrators, because they are not privy to the Accompts; And although there be no Bill, it is in the E­lection of him who delivered the money to have an Action of Debt or Accompt; for a Detinue lieth not for money numbred, because one penny may not be known from a­nother: And the Testator may not wage his law against the said Bill being sealed and delivered as a Deed, for all words which prove by specialty one to bee debtor to ano­ther, is a sufficient Obligation, and the Executors and Ad­ministrators shall be charged although they are not named; contrary of the heir. But it was agreed, that if he had im­ployed the money, that debt lieth not. And there it is said, that a man shall not wage his law against a talle writ­ten and sealed; but otherwise of a Scoch; and by Fitziames, that in an Action of Debt for wages, for a Sum due for tabling, for arrearages of Account, and for rent upon a term a man shall not wage his law; but for such a rent a [Page 12]man may plead levied by distress, or payment although reserved by deed, because the Lease is the foundation of the action, and not the deed. Also by him, if a man bee indebted upon a contract, and make an Obligation for that, the contract is gone, and so upon a Judgement. And if a man make an Obligation for arrearages of Ac­compt; Debt upon arreargaes is gone, 11 H. 4. con­trary.

23.

39. Two as Executors had a Term, and the one granted all that to him appertained, per Curiam; the entire shal pass, because every Executor hath an entire authority; contrary of Joint-tenants.

40. Trespasse for a Close broken, The Defendant said, that the place where, &c. are six acres in D. which is his franck-tenement; The Plaintiffe said, that it is his franck-tenement, and not the franck-tenement of the Defendant; If the Defendant give in evidence of other six acres in D, which are his franck-tenement, it is not to the purpose, for his Plea shall bee inten­ded to bee referred to the six acres of the Plaintiffe, per Curiam, and the Plaintiffe need not make a new Assignement, because the Defendant varyed not from his meaning, when hee gave no new name.

24.

41. The husband made a feoffement of his wives land, to the use of his wife, for life, and died, and the statute 27 H. 8. was afterwards made, the woman entred, shee shall not bee remitted; So if Tenant in taile make a feoffement to his owne use, and die, the Issue enters, hee shall not be remitted, for they shall have the possession in such quality, &c. as they have the use, vide Amy Townesends case, that to bee remitted, it's requisite to waive the possession, and to bring their action.

[Page 13] 42. Abbot with the assent of his covent granted to the feoffor and his heirs, to sing Mass every Holiday, &c. & quoties defectus, 5. li. It seems upon default debt lieth for the heir, for it is a penalty which insues the land, but an annuity lies not per Curiam, because it is casuall, and peradventure never shall bee a default. Nothwithstanding peradventure annuity lies of Rent payable every three yeers. Executors shall not have a Debt for reliese, if the Lord had estate greater then for life or yeers, per Fitzh. And by him a Serjeant may not have an attachment of priviledge in an action which hee brings as heire; Quaere.

43. A Parson let for three yeers, and those ended for three others, and those ended for three others, during the life of the Lessor; by the court it is a Lease but for nine yeers; but if the words had been, And so from three yeers to three yeers, during the life of the Lessor, it livery secundum form. &c. peradventure it shall be other­wise.

44. In a Formedon the Tenant vouched, and up­on the Summons returned the Vouchee is essoined, and day given to the Demandant and Tenant, and at the day both the Tenant and Vouchee made default, per Curiam, a Petit cape shall issue against the Tenant, and no remedy against the Vouchee, because the Tenant had not attended the sute of the Vouchee, for the view may be demanded, &c. so that hee had not yet entred into Garranty.

45. A Quare impedit against the Bishop of Wor­cester, and the Guardian of Merton Colledge in Ox­ford, and counted, how that the Predecessour of the Guardian was seised in the right of his Col­ledge of Sixe acres, to which an Advowson was ap­pendant in Fee, and presented. And after William Catesby was seised of the Sixe acres with the Ad­vowson appendant in Fee, and died seised, and they [Page 14]descended to G. his son and heir, and after the father was attaint of Treason by the Parliament, upon which the King seised the land, and the King so seised, the Church became void, and the predecessor of the defendant presented by u­surpation upon the King, and after the attainter was ad­nulled, and the son restored, and entred into the six acres, and infeoffed the Plaintiffe, and now the Church became void, and it appertained to the Plaintiffe to present, the Defendant demurred, and it was adjudged against the Plaintiffe, and a writ was awarded to the Bishop without making title.

46. Brickhed brought an Action of Debt for forty quar­ters of Malt, and counted upon two Obligations, in which the Defendant acknowledged himself to owe twenty quarters to be delivered at J. such a day, and if he failed, to forfeit forty: the Defendant pleaded tender, and that the Plaintiffe refused judgment, &c. the Plaintiffe demurred, and after released twenty quarters and had Judgment; De­fendant ought to plead alwaies ready.

25 Hil.

47. One of the Pannell was sworne upon the principal, and all besides challenged by the Defendant, and hee that was sworn chose to him one to try; the pols, after the en­quest remained for default of Hundredors, and the Plain­tiffe suggested that there was not Freeholders sufficient in the Hundred, and prayed processe to the next Hundred; but the Court denyed that till they were certified by the return of the Sheriff [...].

48. A man arrested upon a Capias, found surety accor­ding to the statute, after came a Supersedeas, yet per Curiam he ought to appear to save the bond.

49. A man devised his terme to his two sons equally; Quaere whether they are Joint-tenants, or tenants in com­mon.

50. A man shall be tenant by the curtesie, if the issue be born alive, although it be dumbe, so that it bee not heard cry, per Fitzh.

[Page 15] 51. In an action of Debt upon an Indenture in which a man was bound to pay twenty pound, payment is no plea without an acquittance no more then upon a simple bond, contrary, double with penalty.

52. An Attaint, by name of J. S. Knight, where the first writ was of D. it was holden good notwithstanding the variance, because a new originall. 3 H. 6. 16. the same of an Estrepement.

53. A Dog kills Sheep, the Master being ignorant of his property, is not punishable.

54. Waste is found, by which the Committee of the King lost the custody of the land, by the statute of Marl­bridge, cap. 4. Yet the opinion was, that he might main­tain a forfeiture of marriage. So if entry be for Mortmain, Gard vested shall not be devested, But Abbot shall have the marriage, &c.

26.

55. The King seised the body and land of a Lunatick by commission, and granted that over; and it was adjudged that in a trespasse brought, that the Patentee shall not have aid of the King; and Fitzh. said, that when the Lunatick comes to bee of sound memory he shall have an accompt, but he lands of a Lunatick the King or his Patentee shall have to their own use; vide stat. Prerog. cap. 9. & 10.

56. The next avoidance is granted, cum primo & proxi­mo vacaverit, the church being void at the time of the Grant, the Grantee shall not have this presentation, for it is a thing in action; but the next to that, which is the first which can be granted.

57. Quaere if the Tenant in a Cessavit may bee averred pernor of the profits.

58. By the opinion of Mounteg. where a man makes a lease for yeers rendring rent, and after makes a Lease of the same land to begin, during the first term, it is a good grant of the Reversion, and hee shall have the rent being but a chattell [Page 16]which is granted in reversion without atturnment; But Baldwin and Shelley were contrary, vide Braces. Case.

59. A man recovered an annuity against a Parson, and and had a Scire facias upon the Recovery against the Suc­cessor, who prayed in aid two patrons, in this case one only may not be essoined per Curiam, but Fitzh. said, that to al­low an essoine where it doth not lie, is no errour, but to deny an essoin where it lieth, is.

60. Cestuy que use devised that A. should have the go­vernment of his Children, and the letting and ordering of his land; in this case by the Court A. may not sell the land, for the intent appears to be an ordering for the benefit of the children.

61. Russell brought an action upon the case against A. for saying that he was a false theef, and that such a night he would have robbed him, ad damnum, &c. A. came and defended vim, & quoad pro palationem, &c. querens non suit dam. in forma qua, &c. the Plaintiffe demurred, and adjudged for him; for the words are confessed, and no da­mages more grievous then to take away a mans fame, &c. and a writ was awarded to enquire of damages without fur­ther argument.

27, 28.

62. The Abbot of Westnunster brought an action of debt against the Executors of one Leman Clerk, upon an Obli­gation dated the 10 Novem. 12 H. 8. The Defendant plea­ded an Indenture of Defeasance, dated the same day and yeer, by which the Plaintiffe demised to L. the Rectory of A. and the said L. covenanted in that quod ipse & assignat. sui. exoner.

Seven Exceptions taken.

1. Because the Defendant shewed not the date of the Indenture, but by the same day and yeer, referring that to the plea of the adversary, which is not to the purpose, so for default of shewing the time, it shall bee intended before the Obligation, viz. most strong against him who pleads it.

2. The Conclusion ought to be prout in eadem Indent. plen. apparet, or at the least quae sunt omnes & singul. con­ventiones.

3. Also he shewed not where the five Markes were paid, which ought to be because of the Vi [...]ne.

4. The Covenants be in the copulative, That hee and his Assignes would pay, &c. it ought to have been pleaded jointly, for though the Lessor might have a Covenant against the Assignee, yet that proveth not the Lessee to bee discharged.

5. He shewed not the Licence of Alienation, and of the statute 21 H. 8. which prohibits Ecclesiasticall persons to have Fermes, doth dispense with the edit. it ought to have been pleaded, being but in particular to spirituall per­sons.

6. He shewed not that the Assignee was a lay person, where if he were not, the Assignment is void.

7. Notwithstanding that the statute 21 H. 8. had words that the Lease shall be void, if it be not aliened before Mi­chael. yet there shall be entry, as Cestui que use, ought to enter, notwithstanding stat. 27 H. 8. Judgment was given for the Plaintiffe.

29 H. 8.

63. One brought an accompt for Tin delivered by him to the Defendant, for to render an accompt, and it was [Page 18]holden that it was no plea in Bar, that he had sold it, and taken an Obligation in the name of the Plaintiffe for the Money: But it is good in discharge before Audi­tors.

64. If composition between Tenants in common to pre­sent by turn, be one time executed, in a Quare impedit, it needs not to shew the composition; Also Parteners may make composition without deed, because privies in blood, and compellable by the Common law.

65. If my dog kill sheep without my incitation, I shall plead not guilty in a Trespasse brought for the same.

66. The Transcript of a Fine was removed by the An­cestor out of the Treasury into the Chancery, and it came into the Banck by Mittimus, to have a Scire facias to exe­cute the same, and the Ancestor died. And holden that without a new Mittimus, the heir shall not have a Scire sa­cias, for by the death of the Ancestor the authority given to the Justice of the Banck by the Mittimus is determined; But contrary 14 H. 7. for the heir; but agreed for he in re­mainder.

67. Trespasse, the Defendant justified, as Termor, by the demise of a Patentee of the King for life: And the better opinion was, that hee need not to shew the Patent; and the same law of an Under-sheriffe, Under-collector, & Incumb. because they have no means to come to the pos­session of it. But otherwise it is, if the Patentee had granted all his estate to the Defendant.

30.

68. In Detinue for forty Quarters of Wheat, and coun­ted upon an absolute contract, &c. The Defendant said, that it was upon condition to pay for it when it was delive­red; and that the Defendant delivered twenty Quarters, for which the Plaintiffe did not pay presently: so the contract void. Judgment if the Action. And holden good without Traverse that the contract was simple; for the Traverse ought to be on the other part, viz. that it was absolute with­out [Page 19]it was upon condition, but agreed that the Defendant might wage his law, or plead non detinet per patriam. And agreed, that a contract is not good without present pay­ment, except a day bee limited, and then the one shall have a Debt for the mony, and the other a Detinue for the ware.

69. Per Curiam, Lessee for life by the Lease made before 27 H. 8. by the Feoffees to an use, shall now be distrained by Cestui que use, for the rent reserved without atturnment; and if before the statute they had granted a Rent upon con­dition, it shall be now subject to the condition.

70. A man surrendred copy-hold to J. S. and is bound in an Obligation that J. S. shall enjoy it without inter­ruption of any; and J. S. afterwards committed a forfei­ture, and the Lord entred, the Obligation is not forfeit, be­cause his own act.

71. Debt brought against Executors in Middlesex, the Defendants pleaded fully administred, &c. the Plaintiffe said, that they had assets in Essex, and upon demurrer ad­judged good, because assets are transitory; and the Jury of Middlesex may take notice of assets in any county.

72. The Lord Audley Diffeisor, let for life rendring rent, and granted the Reversion to the Disseisee, who accep­ted the rent; it is an affirmation of the Lease. Concess [...] per quosdam.

73. The King Grants obligation forfeit by attainter, &c. the Grantee may sue in his own name.

74. A man who had a Warren, and a Law-day in his Mannor, by Charter, he granted the Mannor to the King, yet the other shall not pass without cum pertinent. and per Curiam, one may have either in another mans soil.

31.

75. J. S. made a Lease for life to A. and after hee made a lease to B. for yeers of the same land rendring rent; A. sur­rendred, I. S. infeoffed a stranger, who suffered a recovery, & Tenant for life died. Quaere, if the Recoverers may avow [Page 20]for the Rent, upon 7 H. 8. cap. 4. for he against whom the Recovery was might not, because the Lease was not begun.

76. In wast brought by the Grantee of a Reversion, the Lessee may plead, that he in Reversion, did not grant by his deed, or that nothing passed by his deed, and give in e­vidence that he never made atturnment, or he may traverse the atturnment, per Knightley, & Fitzherbert.

77. In Formedon of a Rent charge in two acres Join­tenancy in one, shall abate all the Writ, for a Rent charge ought to be demanded of all the Tenants of the land, but Rent service may bee demanded of the pernor of the profits.

78. In debt upon an Obligation, with condition to per­form covenants in an Indenture, whereof one was to make such assurance as the counsell of the Obligee should devise, if he were to that required. The Defendant pleaded by protestat. that the counsell of the Plaintiffe did not devise, and for plea that hee was not required to make assurance; the Plaintiffe said, that J. S. his counsell devised a Release, and he required the Defendant to seal it, who refused; The Defendant rejoined, that he did not refuse, and by the Court it is a departure, that he did not refuse, and by the Court it is a departure, and the issue joined a Jeofaile. And holden, that the Plaintiffe needed not to have pleaded the refusall, but only that he was required; because the Defen­dant had pleaded in the negative, that he was not requested, and so at issue.

79. If a Diffeisor sow, and sever, and before it is carried the Disseisee enters, he shall have them.

Pas. 32. 29 H. 8.

80. Tenant in taile, the Reversion in the King levyed a Fine, or suffered a recovery. Tenus a Bar to the issue, but no discontinuance, because the King is in Reversion.

18. Upon issue of fully administred, the Executors gave in evidence payments of Debts upon contracts, where that was a sute upon an Obligation, the Plaintiffe demur­red, and had judgment of the goods of the Testator, so [Page 21]much as was in the issue, and adjudged, that after an Acti­on brought upon one Obligation, a Debt shall not be paid upon another Obligation.

82. Baron & Feme Cestui que use, before 27 H. 8. and after the statute a writ of Entry in the Post was brought against the husband only, who pleaded Jointenancy, with his wife, per Curiam he ought to shew the statute, as by the common law he ought to shew of whose feoffement. Per­nors are gone by 27 H. 8. therefore the husband may not be averred sole Pernor of the profits.

83. In an Action upon the case the Plaintiffe was Nonsute; and the Defendant had Judgment of costs, upon stat. 23, H. 8. And upon a writ of Errour brought the Re­cord was removed into the Kings Bench, and after the Defendant sued an originall of Debt for the costs, in the Common place; And adjudged that it [...]ieth very well, being an originall; and if the Record be denyed, it shall come by Mittimus into the Chancery. But the Common banck may write to a more baser Court; and by the better opinion, although the Record be rever­sed, hee shall have the costs assessed by the Court for the wrongfull vexation.

84. Debt for Rent, and counted upon the Demise of twenty six acres rendring rent; the Defendant said, that the Plaintiffe let to him the twenty six acres, and four acres more, without that he demised the twenty six only, and it was found, that he let but twenty one acres. Quaere, If the Plaintiffe shall recover: It seems by the better opinion that he shall, for the Defendant confessed the twenty six acres by implication, and then the verdict is not to other purpose, but to manifest that hee did not let four acres more. Curia advis. But Shelley said, that the Defendant needed not to have traversed, because he confessed the 26 acres and more, but the traverse shall come of the part of the Plaintiffe, that he let twenty six acres, since he let the foure acres, and then it had been a better issue.

33.

85. Lessee of a Meadow covenanted to repair the banks, and the banks are broken by sudden flood, he is bound to repair them, because of his covenant. But by Fitzh. and Shelley hee shall now have sufficient time to repaire them, because of the decay, and also the act of God.

86. By the custome of London, a man may devise his land which he purchased in Mortmaine.

One devised to the Prior and Covent of St. Barth. &c. so that they render to the Dean and Chapter of Pauls 20. l. by the yeer, and if they fail, their estate to cease, and remain to the Dean. Fitzh. and Shelley held it to be a void remainder, because a Remainder may not be limited after an estate in Fee. And as to the Condition, the Dean and Chap­ter shall not have advantage of the Condition, but the heir.

87. He in Reversion made a feoffement and livery, the Termor being upon the land: It seems that it is a good li­very, because the franck-tenement is seen, & the Rent passeth: But otherwise in case of a Lease for life, and al­though the Termor be content with the same, yet that is not a Surrender, per 5 H. 7. Quaere, if livery within the view, the Termor being upon the land, be good: If the Lord dis­seise the Tenant, and make a feoffement, and the Tenant re-enter, the Feoffee shall have the rent, for his estate is not openly defeated, as in the other case, but only the possession.

34.

88. In debt against a Chancery man, processe continu­ed till the exigent, upon which he purchased a generall Su­persedeas, he had lost the advantage of his priviledge, be­cause it recites an appearance: But if he had sued a Writ of priviledge first, it should have been good, although at the Exigent, and then hee shall have a speciall Super­sedeas.

[Page 23] 89. Two outlawed in an appeel of murther, purchased a pardon, and had a Scirefacias against the Plaint: and Seig­niors, mediate and immediate (it seems it needs not to the Seigniors, for the pardon affirms the attainter and not reverse it) and the pardon agreed not with the indictment in the addition: But they may averre that they are the same persons; also the pardon was Perdonamus A. & B. omnes utlag. versu [...] praefat. A. & B. seu alterum eorum promulgat. And although the words of pardon are joint, and they are joined in the words of pardon, whereat the felony of the one is not the felony of the other, yet by the ensuing words it is made severall, and his non-obstante pardon allowed.

90. A woman brought a Writ of Dower in a hundred acres of land in R. and S. and as to that in R. the Defendant confessed the Action, and the Plaintiffe had judgment, &c. And to the rest he pleaded to the issue, which the Plain­tiffe relinquished, and had a speciall Scire facias in R. and upon a Scire facias returned, and default made, shee had a speciall writ of Seisin, because it appeared not how much of the hundred acres lies in R.

91. Per Fitzh. and Shelley, an Obligation may be deli­vered to the Obligee himselfe, as an Escrow to bee a deed upon conditions performed, and that is not his deed till, &c. Quaere.

35.

92. Concordat, that a feoffement to divers without deed and livery to one in the name of all, is not good to the other.

93. Feoffee of a Conusor of a statute upon execution sued, had an Audita querela, supposing that the Maior of Chester, before whom it was acknowledged, had no authori­ty to take the Conusance.

94. A common recovery was had against Tenant in taile, who died before execution: per melior. opinio. the issue [Page 24]shall not be remitted, nor yet falsisie the Recovery, because of the Recovery in value of the Vouchee.

95. If a man grants the next presentation to one, and after grants the nex [...] presentation to another, the second grant is good by Shelley, and it shall be intended the next, which he may lawfully grant, and no difference between proxim. presentat & proxim. advocat. But Fitzh. said, that if it had said, proxim. advoc. mea. peradventure that passeth which is next to dispose.

96. Maleveret brought a writ of Wast, and counted that he let a house, and six acres of land, and six acres of wood to the Defend, who made waste; cutting and selling twen­ty oakes in the aforesaid wood sparsim, growing; The Defendant for ten, said that the house aforesaid, in tempore quo, &c. was in decay of Timber, for which cause he had bestowed upon reparations; and as to the other ten, that they grew upon one acre of land of the tenements afore­said: which sometimes had been arable, and pro meliorati­one, &c. Plaintiffe demurred. He ought to answer to the sale, for if he sold and after redeemed, and bestowed in re­parations, as 5 Ed. 4. is, the wrong by the sale is not gone; so also if a man sells the distresse, and after redeems, and puts it in pound again.

2. He did not conclude that this is the same waste, &c.

3. The words praedicto tempore quo, shall be referred to the time of the demise, for no time was put of the cutting; so that if they were ruinous at the time of the demise, the Lessee is not bound to repair no more then if the house be dejected by tempest or enemies; and although he better the inheritance of the Lessor, yet it is not lawfull to doe wrong to another that good may come, as to drive beasts out of my corne, 21 H. 7. or to carry my tithe in jeopardy to be destroyed by cattel, into my barn; or to make a trench to convey water to better land in which I have common.

Yet for the common-wealth a man may justifie wrong; [Page 25]as in time of war to make Bulwarks in anothers land; so the rasing of a house which is burning for the safety of the neighbor; so a [...] Sheriffe may break a house to ap­prehend a villain; but otherwise in cases which concern a private man, as upon a Capias in a Debt or Trespasse. So if a Termor in persuing a villain him exile, if it be for felony it is no wast; if because he him had slandered; contrary by Knightly; and a Termor may not at all re­pair in Timber, without the assent of the Lessor, but only in small reparations, for the Lessor hath interest in the body of the trees, and the Lessee only in the branches, fruit, browes and shadow; and if the Lessor upon notice given do not provide timber, so that for default of that the house fall, the Lessee shall have an action upon the case, and that is but negligence, and not like to the case where the Defendant alledgeth personall wrong, which the Plaintiffe did himself; for there the Defendant shall Rebut the Plain­tiffe of the action, by matter of another action, but not so here; as in waste which the Plaintiffe himself hath made, in debt for rent against the Termor, or the Plaintiffe had him ousted; So in dower that shee detaines the char­ters.

4. It is holden that if a Termor set wood in arable, vel e converso, it is wast; so if he convert pasture into arable, and it is a prejudice to the inheritance; for if the evidence of the Lessor serves to prove that he had woods, or &c. although he may averre that to be the land, yet that may in time be unknown.

5. Because the Defendant justified in one acre of land, and so answered not to the Plaintiffe; The Plaintiffe re­covered.

38.

97. Jurors at a Nisi prius being agreed upon their ver­dict, they saw Read chief Justice going to see an affray, they [Page 26]followed him; and did eat and drink; and after gave their verdict, and it was alledged in arrest of Judgment, and every one was fined 40. l. yet the Plaintiffe had judg­ment; and after errour was brought.

98. Array challenged, because the Sheriffe is cousin to the Defendant; after in making conveyance the Sheriffe was cousin to the wife of the Defendant; and yet holden very good, for the matter is the partiality; and it is aswel a principall challenge, if he be of the blood of the wife of the Sheriffe, as if of his owne blood per Justiciar. but because hee did not say, that it was at the time of the ar­ray made, the challenge was disallowed.

99. Gawen brought an appeal in Wiltshire against two, as accessaries to a robbery made, and counted of incitati­on at London: Defend' Demurr' and Hales Justice, said, that it is well brought in Wiltshire, and till the robbery done, the counsell is no wrong; and the subsequent Action made it wrong in both counties. And where a man hath an Action founded upon two wrongs in several counties, the Plaintiffe is at his election to bring his Action in ei­ther, as in forging in one county, and making Proclama­tion in another: But an accessary after the fact, is no wrong done in the county where the robbery is committed. Also if it may not be brought here, the wrong is dispunishable, for a man shall have but one appeal against principall and accessary (R. quaere causa) and in punishing wrong a man shall have favour in tryall; as it is in a Mortdant cestor; And in debt for wages, where the retainer is here, to serve in France in war; but the Demurrer supposeth a confession of the matter, so that the tryall came not in que­stion, as 18 Ed. 4. where a debt was brought upon an obli­gation, and counted not where it was made, and the De­fendant pleaded an acquittance; but four Justices were of contrary opinion, who said, that it is a maxime that tryalls shall be where may be best notice [...], and that is where the wrong begins; especially in personall wrongs.

If two Closes adjoining, being in severall Counties in Curia claudenda, because of the decit it shall be brought in the county where the Close of the Plaintiffe is. But if he had but a term, an action upon the case only lyeth, and it ought to be brought in the county where the land of the Defendant lyeth, because it is in the personalty (but an appeal is no action either reall or personall). Recove­ry in a Quare impedit in Devonshire, and the writ to the Bishop is delivered in Middlesex, who refused; a Quare non admislt shall be brought in Middlesex. Also Life, Liberty, and Dower, are favoured in Law, and the attainter of the principall because it is a matter of Record, those of London as every one is, ought to take notice of that. But perad­venture of a thing which ariseth upon the land the action shall be brought where the land lieth. And where the Defendant may plead the generall issue in the severall counties, an action may be brought in the one county or other. As where an annuity is granted out of a par­sonage in one county and seisin is had in another. So if a Physitian take upon him to cure in one county, and administers unhealthfull salve in another county. But if the generall issue may not be pleaded, as in our case he may not plead not culpable to the procurement, which is counted to be in London, then otherwise it is because it shall be wrong to the Defendant. And by Brown clearly the demurrer is no confession, but is to the insufficiency of the Count, for after that adjudged the Defendant may plead not culpable. And by them there is a diversity, if a man steals in one county and carries it into another, for there because the property is not divested, the appeal lyeth in every county. But otherwise in a Trespass, as also in an appeal of Robbery, for it is no robbery in the county where the goods are carried into. If a Lease be made in Middlesex of Land lying in Essex, rendring rent for years. So if Retainer be in one county and Departire in another, for the privity the Plantiffe may choose or [Page 28]bring his action where he pleaseth. But otherwise after the privity destroyed, as after waste committed, or where a stranger takes the servant. London may not joine in tryall with another County, and although it be a mischief to abate the appeal, yet it shall rather be suffered then an inconvenience of tryal, where there can be no notice for that part.

100. The Dean of Salisbury let to one Chaffin by these words, quod Decanus ex assensu Capitul' dimisit, and the seal of the Chapter put to the deed, and good per Curiam, If the Dean be sole seised in the right of his Deanary. But if the Dean and Chapter be seised together, then words of assent are not sufficient, because persons able to make a Lease, and is not like the case of an Abbot and Covent.

Pas. 41. 30 H. 8.

101. In a Warrant of Dower upon issue, never seised so that she may have Dower; A remitter to defeat the estate of the husband is no good evidence by the Court, but it ought to have been pleaded, and so if the estate be defeated by condition: and the Court would not admit a verdict at large (1 Ed. 1. contrar') and for that reason it was found against the defendant for folly in pleading, and the Plaintiffe had judgement.

102. In a Replegiare the Plaintiffe is non-sute, and after he issued a second deliverance, a superdeas is had for a Re­tur' babend', for it is but a reviver of the first plaint, yet after the Sheriff returned averia elong' upon that, and it was alledged in arrest of judgement that insomuch as it appeared that he himself elong' &c. that the Plaintiffe shall have judgement, for the return was without warrant.

42.

103. A writ of Proclamation upon the Exigent was re­turned [Page 29]by the Sheriff out of office at the time, upon which the out-lawry was adjudged void per stat. 6 H. 8.

104. The Executors of Greenliffe brought an action of debt upon an obligation, and the condition was, that whereas W. hath sold to G. a certain Meddow in &c. the said W. shall warrant the said G. against Lord and King, and all other; if the said G. shall peaceably enjoy the said Meddow, to him and his heirs of the Lord of the Mannor of M. by the services due after the custom, that then, &c. The Defendant said that the Meddow is copy­hold, and is holden of, &c. and that is customary and rent behinde, or for waste, the Lord may enter for forfeiture, and that G. took that by copy, and all his life habuit & pacifice gavisus suit, & obiit inde scisitus, and it descended to the Plaintiff as son and heir, who of his own wrong entered without admission contrary to the custom, &c. And because 3. s. rent was behinde such a day, the Lord entered as forfeit, Judgement, &c. Plaintiffe demurred. Jenney said that the condition is void, for if G. peaceably injoy, it needs not that the Defendant should warrant it. And it was agreed that although it was not shewed what was warranted; yet it shall be intended of the Land about which was a communication. But the warrant to G. shall not extend over the life of G. Yet if the feoffee upon such warranty recover in value he shall recover in fec-simple; and it is not spoken to whom the warranty is made, but only that it shall be for him and his heirs, per. 6. Ed. 2. the garranty shall be according to the state. And as to the last part of the condition Jenney put adversity, where words are that a man shall enjoy to him and his heirs, and where it is he and his heirs shall enjoy, for if he in­joyes but during his life, he enjoyes to him and to his heirs, because he had see per touts, that a man is not hol­den to warrant against new titles after the garranty. (43) Also the Plaintiffe is particeps Criminis for that &c. per touts [Page 30]the Bar is not double for the entry without emitta [...] is but surplusage, and at the first he did not alledge it as a forfeiture. Shelley that pacifice gavisus fuit is but an ar­gument, that he had warranty; And it is a failable argu­ment also, for he may be impleaded for the issues which the obligor had forfeit, and yet it is not contra pacem, but pacifice made. But it ought to have been shewed directly how he had warranted, or that he was non damnifi'.

105. Concord' that if a Parson purchase a Mannor and after he lets his parsonage, notwithstanding the unity he shall pay tithes, and so of his feoffee. But they were in divers opinions whether if a person let his Glebe rendring rent, if the lessee shall pay tithe.

106. After custome and subsidy paid for clothes in a tempest upon the Sea, the clothes were cast out, and the Merchant came again & Deputy customer. It seems that he may, and also gives to him license to carry over so much more without custom, all which was pleaded in Bar upon Informat' for subsidy and custom not paid, &c. Counsell the King demur' and it seemed reasonable that he shall not pay. And in many cases where a man hath loss and makes the other privy he shall have recompence. As if a man be implead' and vouch' he shall recover in value. So where a man grants a seigniory by fine, and the Tenant dies without heir before atturnment, and a stranger abate in the land, the Conusee shall have a scire facias servitia. The King after waived the Demurrer, and joined issue, that custom and subsidy Domino Reg. deb' concelat' & substrac' &c. contra formam flat'. and it was found that he did not conceal and withd raw &c. in manner and form as is sup­posed by the Information. And it's doubted whether this verdict shall be taken for or against the King, for if it be for the Defendant, it should be concluded prout defend allegavit. Reed said, that it seemed to be their intent to acquit the defend' of conceal' but not of the substract'. It's there holden that custom is inheritable in the King [Page 31]and due by the common Law. For the first stat. viz. 14. Ed. 3. which speaks of custom gives not custom, but abridg­eth it for wool and corde.

Subsidy is a taxe assessed by Parliament, and granted by the subjects during the life of every king, for defence of the Merchants upon the Sea. (44) And for that information of a subsidy for cloth is evill, for cloths were excepted in stat. 1. H. 8. also there is is no statute which gives to the Informer the moity, for all the custom and forfeiture for that is due to the King. And there it's holden that cu­stom is well paid for the time, if it be before the departure of the ship out of the view of the Port. As it is of a di­stress chased within the view, and a prisoner within the view of the Gaoler.

107. It was found by office that Gilbert held land of the King as of his Honour of Philipton, and other land as of his Mannor of Dartington which came to the King by attainter of treason of the Marquess of Excester. It seems it is not holden in capite, for tenures in capite began in ancient time by the Grants of the King, to defend him against Rebels and Enemies, and stat' Prerog. cap. 1. Quod Dominus Rex habebit custod' &c. Dum tamen ipsi tenuerint de Rege ab antiquo de Coron'. and at this day the King may create a tenure in capite if he gives to hold of his per­son, but otherwise if he give to hold of a Mannor, Honor, &c. (45) and tenure in capite shall be immediately of the King, and shall be created by the King himself, for a tenure created by a subject can never be a tenure in capite neither shall have any prerogative annexed to it, and if the tenants of an Honour hold in gross, viz. in capite of the King, the Honor when it comes to the King shall be destroyed, que nes issint. Also it is no reason that a tenant in whom is no fault, that he should be prejudiced in his tenure by the offence of the Lord. Otherwise if forejudge or evict of his mesne. Also tenant in capite is inseparably of the person of the King, and cannot be [Page 32]released, although he after grants the Reversion, for it is not incident to the Reversion, but to the person of the King: as it is of Frankalm', every grand Sergeanty is tenure in capite, for it cannot be of any but of the person of the King. Vide a good case vouch' 6. Ed. 3. the diversity of the degree in which the King shall have an escheat, either as Lord or as King.

Mich. 31 H. 8.

108. A Lease upon condition that he shall not alien to A. the lessee aliened to B. and he aliened to A. the condi­tion is not broken, for a condition which goes to the brea­king of an estate shall be taken strictly.

109. A Lease upon condition that he shall not assigne his term during his life without the assent of his lessor, he devised that without &c. and died: by two it is a for­feiture, for he that is in that, is in by the Devisor; con­trary of assignment in Law if one had that as Executor.

110. John Minors Tenant in tail made a feoffment upon condition to remake an estate to him and his wife in tail, remaind' to T. M. filio meo &c. the remainder to Sibill' filiae meae, the Feoffees reciting the deed, made a feoffment by words Dedimus & concess' to J. Minors & his wife, and to the heirs of their two bodies, remaind' T. M. filio meo, remaind' Sibill. filiae meae, and J. M. died, T. M. within age entered for breach of the condition, and holden that Sibill filiae meae may not be intended the daughter of J. M. But peradvent' otherwise of T. M. filio meo, because none of the names of the Feoffees were M.' (46) Mountegue and Bromley the partie who shal take advantage of the condition, is partie to the breach, for that &c. also his acceptance extinguish­eth the condition, but otherwise if an estate be made to a stranger, it shall be taken strictly.

Per Shell [...]y two Townes may not inter common because of Vicinage, where there is a third Towne be­tween the Commons, because they are not neighbours, [Page 35] Baldwin contrary, but such Common may not be used where the Commons are at severall seasons. And per Curiam, if two Towns are adjoining, and a great field lieth between them, and one who liveth in one of the Towns hath Common there with the tenants of the other Town, It behooves to make title for Common because of [...]cinage and not appendant.

So of a Prior, Abbot, or Bishop. Contrary of a Mayor, or the Guardians of a Church. Baldwin held the payment to the Dean and Successors was void, because the obligation was to the Dean only.

Per 3. Serjeants, he for­feits the Recognizance notwithstanding every of them is party to the statute. But he in reversion or remainder shall not avoid the lease made according to the 32. if te­nant in tail die without issue, for so is the intent of the ma­kers of the statute although no words in the statute of the Donor or he in remaind'.

So a man may alter his Will annexed to a feoffment at the time of the livery, and he may revoke a letter of atturney before livery made; so of a bailment or delivery, before delivery be made over; and by Baldwin the case above, except the words of use alter that. And use alters not the property of chattels. For stat. 50 Ed. 3. cap. 6. to prevent fraudulent gifts of goods [Page 37]to an use to the deceit of Creditors had been in vain, if the property had continued in the Donor. But 2 contra 2.

129. Stat. 31 H. 8. made it treason for a woman to poi­son her husband. It seems that now an appeal lies not for the heir, because now the murther is changed into Treason, and the greater extinguisheth the lesser.

Yet it was moved that although chasing in Park bee by the statute made felony, yet the offence may bee made a Trespasse at the pleasure of the party. Saccombs case.

A man condemned in debt payed part, and the Plaintiffe made acquitance, viz. received 10. l. in part of a more summe, wherein the Defendant was condemned by judgment, before the Justices of Nisi prius, where judg­ment is alwaies in the Banck. Tenus, that it is no good Release to have an Audita querela, if Execution bee af­ter sued of the intire, for there was no such judgment.

And this diversity put by Whorewood, If I release all my right in white acre, which I purchase of such a man, where I had it by descent, yet it is good, because white acre is na­med certaine, an the rest surplusage: but if it be of all his lands which he had purchased; it's otherwise, because gene­rall an uncertain.

The count was, The Defendant percuss' 1 day of May, &c. whereof he lan­guished at D. three weeks, and there died, & sic defend' die & anno praedict' murdr', &c.

Tenus no plea. For first, he which pleads payment in the same county, ought to re­ly upon the Debet. Also a simple Obligation may not bee discharged without deed; for arbitriment is no plea, and in annuity payment is no plea, for a mischiefe shall bee suffered rather then an inconvenience that a nude averment shall discharge a deed. Contrary, if it be with penalty, or the annuity clause of Distresse, and the deed re-delivered is no acquitance, because there wants words of acquitance. Also a second delivery of a deed, which takes effect at the first i [...] void.

Also the ea­ting of the Jury at their own costs, although it be finable, yet it shall not induce affection, and so the first Judgment was affirmed.

The Plaintiffe demur' and adjudged that the plea is not good, because he had not alledged that till the release he had not broken any Covenants; for if the Obligation be one time forfeit, a release of Covenants after shall not dispense with that.

Per melior. opinio. that the words ad primum diem Maii qu' esset, &c. are void words, and the premises shall stand as a present release, for the subsequent words may qualifie and abridge but not destroy the premises. And a release is not available but for a right, or an Action which one had at the time of the release; for it is contrary to the nature of a release to take effect in time to come.

224. Appeal of murther by a woman of the death of her [Page 65]husband, against Margaret Oldcastle Spinster, where shee was indeed a Gentlewoman; It seems it is not a suffici­ent addition: But she was estopped to plead that to the writ because she purchased a Supersedeas upon this, and so shee pleaded not guilty; after the Plaintiffe took a new hus­band; for that, &c.

It was pleaded non ejocit, it was found quod ejecit, and Judge­ment was given that he shall recover the term aforesaid; where indeed the time is not shewed certainly when hee entred; so that it may be the term is ended. Also he did not shew the time of his entry, for if hee entred before the Michaelmasse, after the death of J.S. he is a Disseisor, and not a Termor; also bona & catalla, nor vi & armis, are an­swered, per non ejecit pleaded, and found, but it should have been non culpable to that, yet judgment quod capiatur pro fine. Also the Plaintiffe was not amerced for a false cla­mor of the goods, &c. because nothing was found.

IOhn Varney made a feoffment to the use of himself and D. his wife, and to the heirs of their two bodies, the remainder to the right heirs of the husband, and they had issue Mary, and the husband died; D. the wife sold the land in fee; Mary and R. her husband joined in a Fine in Confirmation of the estate and Mary died without issue. Now R. and D. and one Edward Varney, as cousin and heir of Mary, brought a writ of Errour to reverse the fine, and then to avoid the sale of D. upon stat. 11 H. 7. And R. and D. did not appear; upon which a Summons ad sequend' simul issued, which was returned nihil, and after they appeared freely with the third: note, that they assigned for Errour, that after the conusance, but before that certi­fied and engrossed, viz. 25 day of March, which was before the Teste of the Dedimus potestatem that Mary died. But it was holden that they shall not bee suffered to alledge that, contrary to the record and certificate of the Justice before whom, &c. Also it was holden that because the writ of Errour was to remove the record it self it was evill, because only the Transcript shall bee removed till it bee reversed; because they have not the Chirog. in the Kings Bench if the fine be affirmed. Also the writ of Error is brought by Edward Varney as cousin and heir collaterall to Mary, and the taile is determined as appears by her death without is­sue, and he had not made himself right heir to John Var­ney, (90.) then it shall be intended that he had issue a son or another daughter, and a writ of Errour shall be brought by him who shall have the land, viz. the right heir to him in remainder; by the equity of 9 Rich. 2. cap. 3. Quaere, and not by heir generall to Mary. And admitting that fee in [Page 67] Mary, yet because expectant upon taile hee which shall de­mand it when the tail is spent, ought to make himself heire to John Varney, for hee shall have it although he be but of the half blood to Mary.

228. In wast by Marvyn de suceidendo & vendendo, &c. the Defendant said that the Plaintiffe sold to him omnes arbores suas crescentes super, &c. quae possent ration abi [...]ter parcari. for that he cut, &c. Plaintiffe demur'.

1. Because he had not answered the selling.

2. He had not shewed for what the Plaintiffe sold the trees to him; so that he had not quid pro quo.

3. Also they shall not pass per the Grant of the Plain­tiffe de arbor suis; for not being excepted in the Lease, the Lessor during the term had but a right in them and not a property; and a right may not be granted but by deed, no more of a chattell then of land.

4. Also the Grant is void for the incertainty, when it may be spared; contrary if it had been referred to an arbi­triment, because it might be reduced into certainty.

229. Scire facias to execute a Recovery in Dower by Tourney, the Tenant pleaded that the Plaintiffe had ac­cepted a rent after the judgment in satisfaction, &c. and a good plea if it be issuing out of the same land; which rent is distrainable of common right; the assignment was pleaded without deed, Quaere, there it is held acceptance of land which is not in demand in no Bar in Dower per Ju­stices. If before the 32 husband and wife make a Lease per paroll rendring rent, and the husband die, and the wife accept the rent, that doth not affirm the lease, because her assent is needful to the Lease at the making thereof, which cannot be without deed.

230. In attaint the array was challenged because Mary the wife of Sir Richard Mannering Sheriffe, who had issue in life, is cousin to one of the Petty Iury, and it was demur [...] upon the challenge.

[Page 68] 1. Because it was not shewed that he was Sheriffe at the time of the making of the pannell.

2. Because it was not shewed that Mary was his wife at the time of the making of the pannell, &c.

(92.)

231. In an Indenture of Lease made to one Dives, there were these words, viz. it is agreed that if any fortune to have the interest, that he or they shall find surety within the yeer for the rent, otherwise the estate to cease, the Les­see devised his term to his wife, the wife found surety and after took husband, he aliened to M. Quaere if he be bound to find surety.

232. Wast was assigned in cutting and selling, where the Defendant had but the lops, he may plead no waste made, and give the especiall matter in evidence.

233. The King without words For him and his heires, granted to an Alien that hee should pay but English cu­stome, and holden by all the Iustices that it should bind the Kings successors because of the Kings inheritance in the custome. But otherwise of a Licence; contrary also of an Annuity except it be for executing an office, and then it ought to be limited by whose hands it shall be paid, because the person of the King shall not be changed, Com. sol. 449. Wroths case.

234. In a writ of Partition it is a good plea that the De­fend' had such a writ against the Plaintiffe, and judgment to have partition; but doubted whether he shall plead it in Bar or in abatement; because hanging another writ; or as estoppell that he had contradicted the partition; although that appears by the first record that he was all times ready, when they confess the Action, 22 Ed. 3. A. brought a Quare impedit against B. and B. brought another against A. of the same Church, and returnable at one and the same day, and the Court caused one of them to be discon­tinued.

235. King Hen. 8. made a Commission to four Lords under the great seale, and signed with the sign manuall to give royall assent to the act of Attainter of the Duke of Norfolke, which Act was indorsed soit fait come est desire. Dubitatur if it be a good act; Quaere for this assent, 33 H. 8. cap. 21. a Cerciorare was directed to two Clerks of the Parliament to certifie the act. Tenus a void Certificate by one only; Also the circumstances were not certified: But this Commission was suspected because H. Rex was written after the Teste, where it ought to be supra caput, and the King was so sick that hee could not write well; and after it was declared by Parliament to be void.

236. Judgment in wast was reversed. 1. Because it was recorded quod querens obtulit se 4. die per attornatum, and not named him. 2. The writ alledged seisin to the use of the father of the Plaintiffe and his heirs, without shewing the state of the feoffees, but they shewed it in the assignment of the wast. 3. It is not shewed how the use of the particular estate began. 4. The Plaintiffe shewed that A. held for life, the reversion to him, and said not spectant.

237. A man made a Lease to Woodhouse, after he let the same land to B. habend' from the falling of the first inte­rest. The Assignee of W. took a new Lease, which is a sur­render of his first estate (note where is a mean interest.) Quaere if the term of B. begins.

(94.)

238. King Edward 6. granted to his Aunt the Lady Cromwel, the Mannor of D. &c. habend' sibi pro termino vi­tae suae si tamdiu nobis placuerit: after the King reciting the Lease, granted the reversion of that to Sir William Cecill. It seems he may not defeat that estate at will. But it seems the King may of other Mannors which are in his hand.

239. A Replevin by Chafyn against the Lord Sturton, it was enacted 13 Ed. 3. that the County of Cornwall should bea Duchy, and that E. the eldest son Ed. 3. should be Duke [Page 70]of Cornwall, and so every eldest son and heir apparant of the King; King Ed. 3. by his Patent granted the Mannor of Mere, which he had in the right of his crown; to be holden inseparably, and to goe as the Duchy. After all escheated to Ed. 3. and by descent came to Hen. 8. who before, and also after the birth of Edw. 6. made a Lease of Mere and died; holden that Ed. 6. being made King cannot avoid the Lea­ses. 1. Because it was but an estate at will in the son of Ed. 3. 2. Also the annexing to the Duchy, and limiting how it should goe, was not to the purpose without an act of Parliament. 3. Upon the escheat to Ed. 3. he was seised in his first estate, and a son born after shall not divest it. 4. No livery or ousterlemaine was sued by Ed. 6. when hee was Prince, and now he may not avoid it when he had ta­ken the royall dignity, which drowned the Dukedome. Chafyn pleaded that Ed. 6. by his birth was seised of the re­version in see which might not be so long as the term con­tinued, as Littleton is, upon disseisin of a Mannor; the rever­sion is not in the disseisor so long as a particular estate con­tinues: so also if the Prince had title to the reversion, hee had also to the possession; and shall avoid incumbrances, as a son born after descent or escheat.

240. A man took one to wife who was in Gard to the King, and had issue, and after 16 yeers accomplished per the feme, tendred a generall livery, but before it passed the wife died, her issue within age, Quaere if the husband shall bee Tenant by the Courtesie.

241. In debt by Oliver Whitton upon the statute 1 Ed. 6. for usury, and in his writ he mis-recited the statute, to be made at the Parliament holden 5 Ed. 6. but holden that was but surplusage in the writ; for the declaration ought to shew the cause of the debt, also it was holden at that time by prorogation, &c. Defend' pleaded quod non recepit, &c. that is a confession of the contract which is within the statute, and the Court ex officio ought to take notice of [Page 71]that and give Judgment: And if a Juror takes moneys to speak his verdict, although he speak it not, or a man takes upon him to maintain although hee doth it not; and if a man carries wools to any other place then to Calice, al­though by wind forced thither, yet is it forfeit.

242. Termor avowed for damage fesant, the Plaintiffe said, that he of whom the Lease, &c. was but Tenant in tail who died, and we his issue, &c. The Defendant said that the rent was received, which you accepted after the death of your ancestor, &c. Tenus a departure, Quaere.

(96.)

243. Seymor late Admirall covenanted with B. that in consideration that the said B. had conveyed to him certain lands after his death to levy a Fine to the use of himself for life, the remainder in tail to B. Tenus. that the use is not changed till the fine levyed, for then the covenant may not be performed. Contrary upon a covenant that the party shall have, &c. If a man devise that his Feoffees shall make estate to A. and die; the use changeth before the state is ex­pected.

244. Duke of Sommerset purchased to himselfe and to the Duchesse and to the heir males of their two bodies, which is not an estate mentioned within the statute 27 H. 8. to bee a jointure which shall bee a Bar in Dower, yet resolved that it is within the intent of the statute.

245. Plus de Cliffords Error. 7 Ed. 6. sol. 89. upon an in­dictment in an ejectione firmae, also it was assigned. 1. Be­cause the writ was in manerium de A. &c. & unum M. su­agium, unum &c. and the Count of a Demise of the Man­nor (advoca' eccles' reddit' assisae, &c. dicto manerio per­tin' except' & reservat') so that the intire Mannor was not let as the writ supposeth: Bromeley said that it was a void exception of services which are the substance of the Mannor, and not only the Maneri' pertin' as the conclusion of the exception is. 2. Also the premises of the deed com­prehend all the names in the writ, but the habendum is, [Page 72] habendum maneri' without speaking of the house, &c. so that he is but Tenant at will of that: Bromley said that the rest might peradventure be known by the name of the Manor. 3. Also the writ supposeth a demise by the Abbot of C. and the Count is that the Abbot & Covent Monasi. beati Petri de C. &c. and so a variance. (97.) Bromly said it was a very good name, because he departed but with a term. Contrary of a frank-tenement; and the Covent doe not demise but only give consent; and by all the Justices that the substance of the Action is out of the statute 32 H. 8.30. of Jeofailes. So it seems of a declaration, for that is no pleading, quaere. But after upon great deliberation the Judgment was rever­sed.

246. Errour was assigned because the Venire fac. being returnable Mense Mich. the Hab. corpora was returnable oc­tab. Martim proxim. non alloca [...]d' unicum esson. vel defalt' to the Defend' upon the Ven. fac. Also because the Hab. corp. was returnable octabis Martini, Nisi Ed. Mountague capitalis Justic' de banco, &c. die Sabbati, viz. 19 No. apud Guilel all' prius venisset, whereas the 18 day was the first day of the Utas; so to take verdict after the day returnable is an Errour by the Court, 31 H. 6. fol. 45. accord. 22 Ed. 4.49. a fine levyed had relation to the first day of the Re­turn.

248. A writ was to summon the Parliament, without the stile of Supremum caput, and it was resolved by the Justices upon great deliberation that the writ was very good, for it is but an addition and not parcell of the name.

249. In a writ of right brought by the Lord Windsor, the Plaint' and four Knights, and eleven of the grand As­sise appeared, and the Tenant made default; per Pronotaries the default of the Tenant shall only be recorded, and the [Page 73]Jurors shall not be demanded, for the Inquest shall not bee taken by default in this case as in personall actions. Vide Glanvill contra. But the default of the demand' or (after the mise joined) of the Defendant it is peremptory (vide 44 Ed. 3.22. husband and wife Tenants, they made de­fault after the mise joined, and the wife was received to join the mise again) but if the party shall have seisin of the land without a pety Cape, in that the books differ. And holden that 16 shall bee of the Inquest in a writ of right (R.) Quaere, for the form of the writ to the four Knights is, Ad [...]ligend' ex s [...]ipsis & aliis duodecem.

250. Two Coparceners are of land in taile, one of them made a feoffement of her part; the feoffee and the other in 18 H. 8. made equall partition, it seems, the issue shal not be defeated; because the feoffee was compellable at this day to make partition; although not contrary. Contrary if inequal: Also there i [...] Tenant in tail be disseised and die, and the issue release with warranty, and die; if it be a discontinuance or no Quaere, Saunders held that it is. Mores case.

253. Indictment was that the Defendant burglariter fregit Ecclesiam in nocte ad depredand' bona parochianorum; and it was holden Burglary, but the Indictment not good, because it should have been fregit & intravit.

254. Clergy was allowed to an accessary in horse-stea­ling, because the stat. 1 Ed. 6. cap. 12. speaks but only of the principall, which shall be taken strictly.

261. A man bought stoln beasts out of any Market, and gave 5 shillings to have election to refuse in the Market to be holden the next day; and then in the Market hee a­greed to have the beasts, and payed toll. It was holden that the property was not altered because that agreement re­lates to the contract out of the Market.

Quaere.

266. Upon an Elegit the extent shall be by the oath of. 12 men, & not by the Sheriff himself, although the writ speak not of Inquisition, and so are many presidents. King H. 8. gave land in taile to T. Culpep' the remaind' in taile to Jo. Culpep' and T. Culpep' is attaint of Treason, which is con­firmed by Parliament; and the actuall seisin of the land of T. given to the King without office; saving rights, titles, entries, reversions, remainders, &c. to strangers: The King seised the land, and granted the same to one Bush. in fee. Tho. Culpep' died without issue; John Culpep' entred, and was ousted by Bush. and he brought a writ of entry sur dis­seisin, and counted that he was seised in his demean as of fee, which was evill, (100.) upon which he amended that, and said, ut de libero tenemento; and that by Fitzh.

Bush. he shewed all the matter, and descent of the Seignory to Ed. 6. and prayed aid of him and had it, and 4 searches in Chancery, during the hanging of which a Mandamus was awarded at the sute of Bush. upon that the grant in tail to Tho. Culpep' is only found, and a false date of the Letters Patents, as also the attain and execution, and that the King was sei­sed in see, and granted, &c. and after upon a Melius inqui­rend', the very date found, but the attainter and execution was found to be before the Grant, upon mistaking the change of the yeer of the reign, upon which return in Chancery, for the apparent untruths in them a Procedendo [Page 76]in loquela was awarded, the Demandant not put to a Peti­tion or Monstrance of Droit, the Plaintiff traverse that the Queen ne suit seisit' in Dominico suo ut de feodo, and issue upon that: and it seemed that the matter in law would maintain that, for the base fee of the King is determined by the death of T. Culpeper without issue, for the King was not in point of reverter, because of the mean interest, & the remainder, and entry of the demandant is saved by the act; after the Defendant acknowledged the action; but the Ju­stices would not proceed to judgment; without a Procedend [...] to judgment; according to Fitzherber [...]; Nat. bre. 153. upon that all the matter was again removed into the Chancery.

Barkley died without issue, the heir males of the bo­dy of H. 7. failed, if the right heir of the Lord Barkly being within age, shall be in gard to Queen Mary; because the Seignory was suspended at the instant of the death of [Page 77]King Edward, and it was resolved per Justic' that it was so: for the tenure is now revived, and if the right heir had sailed it ought to have escheated. Ergo the see simple was in consideration of the Law.

After the defendant demur' in law upon the said assign­ment, and best per Curiam, and not to rejoin in nullo est er­ratum. But the said except' supra not allowed, and the president 6 H. 8. accord'. Also the supposall was in the first writ that he was son and heir of A. for that, &c. And upon the said president the judgment afterward was; quod per er­ror' praedict' Judic' per edict' revocetur; sans & in reeordo, for that is an errour in deed and not in the record. There holden that an infant shall be punished for contempt; for frustra legis auxilium invocat qui in legem committit.

There holden that it is not a good return of the Sheriffe, that the Tenant is a feme covert or an infant. But 1 H. 6. a good return, that one sued by name of J. Ab. is deposed because it amounts to a death.

313.

And in a debt brought upon the Obligation against one of the sureties, he pleaded the conditions performed, upon which the Plaintiff demur': & holden an insufficient plea, but questioned if the Court ex officio be bound to take notice of stat. 23 H. 6. cap. 10. not pleaded by the party, and to stay judgment. Dyer held that not. 1. Because particular in generall, but of a generall statute as of a generall pardon, the Judges are bound to take notice of that, because it makes a common law, but otherwise of a particular statute if it be not pleaded. 2. But quaere if the Barons of the Exchequer where the action is brought are Judges of the Common law in that case, of an action of debt brought by a subject of priviledge in that Co [...]rt. 3. Also it is not expressely averred that the Plain­tiffe is Gaoler, otherwise then that the Plaintiffe named himself R. Tho. servant to Richard Chomley Mil' capital' Ba­ron. al' dict' R. The. Gaoler of Ludgate, which alias dict' are intended false, and only put to agree with the special­ty; then if hee bee a stranger and not the Gaoler, as the [Page 90]Court may not take notice whether he be or not, the Obli­gation is good at the Common law, and not void by the stat. 23 H. 6. cap. 10. although the Judges should be bound to take notice of the statute, for the statute speaks only of Obligations made to officers & color' officii. 4. It is out of the case of the statute, because it was not shewed that he was arrested according to the course of the law, according to the words of the statute, but only that he was outlawed at Northampton, tale die, &c. & postea arrestat' apud Lond' & commiss. &c. and shewed not by whose authority, with­out writ of Capias utlag. it shall be unlawfull to arrest him, which shall not be intended because it is not shewn; but in case of felony every one may arrest. (120.) If he had plea­ded the statute to avoid the Obligation; Quaere if the con­clus' of his plea should be, and so void, or Judgment if the action. Quaere also if the statute where it made the Ob­ligation taken in another form then is limited, of any person or by any person which shall be in their wards, shall be intended per the words of any person generall, and void also against the sureties which are at large; Outlawry is one of the seven exceptions in the statute of which the Sheriffe had commandement not to let to Mainprize, yet the Obligation upon that is not out of the statute.

314. The Lord Mountague brought an action upon the case against the Countesse of Worcester, supposing by the writ and Count, that whereas he was possessed of a chain of gold, of the price of a 100 marks, & sic poss. illam tali die apud L. in parochia, &c. casualit' amisit, which came to the hands of the Defendant she knowing that chain to be the Plaintiffs chain, and yet machinans him defrauded, and sold it to divers persons unknown, and the money conver­ted to her own use. The defendant traverse quod non vendi­dit modo & forma, &c. & hoc. &c. Judgment if the action &c. upon which plea the Plaintiffe demur.

[Page 91] 1. Because the plea is but an argument, but non culpable had answered to all.

2. He ought to have concluded & de hoc pon. se super pa­triam, because a direct negative, and traverse to the affirm' of the Plaintiffe.

3. The Plaintiffe is at his election to have this action because of the misdemeanour supposed. Dyer held contrary, and first he held that it should have been ad valentiam & non precii of a dead chattel (Fitzh. N. B. one or other good) as by the Register of a live chattel the form is cepit & ab­duxit, but of a dead chattel cepit & asportavit. 2. Also it is impossible quod possession' amisit, Quaere. 3. Also he supposeth fraud, where was neither privity, nor confidence, but appears she came to the chain by finding. 4. Also an action upon the case lieth not because he had his remedy by action of detinue, for he had not shewed the sale to bee in market overt to change the property; And although Lon­don be by prescription a marke open every day, this special custome ought to have been pleaded, otherwise the Court is not bound to take notice of the same. 5. That the traverse of the sale is good, for although it be but a conveyance, because by that the defendant is put out of his law, he may traverse the conveyance without answering the point of the action. As in a debt upon a lease for yeers non dimisit is a good plea if it be of land, otherwise of a Lease of sheep, 1 H. 6. so in Debt for arrearages of Accompt before Au­ditors non computavit is a good plea, so in debt against the Sheriffe upon an escape, quod non permisit ire ad largum. Also the Defend' in some case of misdemeanor, may plead generally non culpable, or traverse the point of the writ as not forged, non esecit, or non culpab', (122.) 6. And at the conclusion although the better form had been to plead to the countrey, yet a good issue might have joined upon that if the Plaintiffe would have replyed quod vendidit.

Quaere of this case.

316. Sir Thomas [...]y [...]t in consideration of the marriage of his son made a feoffement, and retook an estate to him­self for life, the remainder to Sir Tho. his son, and his wife which shall be in tail, and marriage was accompl', the fa­ther levyed a fine to the King of the said land, and obliged him and his heirs to warranty and died, the son is attaint of treason and executed, his issue living, after the Queen granted the said land to a stranger in tail, and after the feme is restored, Quaere if the issue shall inherit, after the death of the feme against the Collaterall warranty, fine with proclamation, and attainter of his father, per whom he conveys: There was contention in the Patentee, if the feme had right to the intire remainder, or but a moity, and if she may enter upon the Patentee of the Queen, without sute to the Queen, &c.

317. Issue was joined upon an absque hoc quod talis di­misit, and holden by the Court a good evidence that he had nothing in the land at the time: In a Formed' it is no good traverse that the donor had nothing in the land at the time of the gift, but non dedit, &c.

(123.)

318. The opinion of the Court was that notwithstan­ding a traverse be tendred to an Indictment upon the sta­tute of forcible entry, 8 H. 6. That it is at the discretion of the Justices to stay, or grant a restitution, according to that which the title appears to them. vide also a Supersedeas of restitution granted by other Justices.

The question was if the Lease be void by stat' 31. H. 8. because no rent is reserved to be paid the first yeer. Per Iustic' the word Yeerly is not in the Act, for that &c. And by Whidd' & Port' If an ancient rent was well reserved, and after was released by the Abbot, yet the Lease is not defeasable by the statute. Pertm' held in the principall case that the duty is not discharged, but is only deferred, for the reservation was yeerly. Dalys. and Whyddon, contra.

But it seemes the soccage land shall not be in ward by the Prerogative, because the tenant held not immediately of the King as the statute speaks Fitzh. N. B. when the wife of D. hath her dower as­signed in the Chancery, she shall not be sworn the Kings widow.

(124.)

322. In debt against the heir, upon issue of nothing by descent in Fee simple, the Jury gave a speciall verdict, that the father devised all his chivalry land to his wife, till the Defendant his heir was of the age of 24 yeers, and then that the intire shall be to him and his heirs, and his wife [Page 94]to have the third part during her life, and if he dye before he hath accomplished the age of 24 years, it shall remaine to the Feme for life, & after her decease to the heirs of the Devisor, the heir being 24 years of age the wife died. It was holden that there was no in tail, but the intire was in the heir in Fee by descent, and not only the third part, and that he is lyable to the obligation of his father.

353. Arthur Basset son and heir of Sir John Basset within age, per petition of right for land, whereof a recovery was suffered before 27. the which is averred to be to the use of the Lord Dawbeny in tail, the remainder to Sir John Basset in fee; also it was averred, that the tail to the Lord Dawbeny, was determined by the death of the Earl of Bridgewater, son of the Lord Dawbeny he dying without issue, and conveyed to [Page 103]himself the same remainder as heir to Sir John Basset. Note that the Indentures which declared the use, were made four yeers after the recovery, & holden good; also it appeared by the Indentures that the Lord D. had authority in default of issue, in his life, or by his Will to nominate the use in tail to two of his next blood, the remainder in fee to Sir John Bas­set. But no mention was made in the Petit' of any such In­dent', nor averment, that there were any such nomination. And it was holden by all the Just' that it needs not, because nothing was given by the authority if no execution was; but if the Indent' had been disclosed then they ought to averre, because the Petition, which is in nature of a formedon in re­mainder, was for default of issue of the L. D. only. (137.) and it was demur' if the plea ought to abide during the time of the nonage of the Plaintiffe upon plea pleaded in Bar of the Petition, which is not any matter of any of the ancestors of the Plaintiffe (which was prayed for the Queen). First it was agreed that if he recover the remainder hee shall have it by descent, for by stat 27. it was a remainder executed in his ancestor, and shall make him to become in ward when he comes to the possession, although it never was in the possessi­on of his ancestor. Tamen per 2 Just [...]' q. est tanq' p [...]q [...]e' al heire nesteant unqs. en launc. & lacc. ne discend. Also espe­cially the Petition of right shall not targe, as 21 Ed. 3. & 43 Assise is; for it may not be revived, or a summon lies not in the originall, therefore a resummons lies not to revive it, and it is a mischief to the heir, for a Collaterall warranty may descend to the heir in the mean time, where there is a principle, that in all things the age of an infant shall bee fa­voured and have aid, but in no case take disadvantage by his age But 5 Justices held contra, and that the Petition targera. At the Common law in all actions founded upon a right descended to an heir within age, and one whose seism and e­spees ought to be shewed in the ancestor, the Tenant by ex­ception to the person of the Demandant, shall targera the plea till, &c. without plea pleaded (contra, if the King being [Page 104]within age brings a Droit 6 Ed. 3.) but as it appears by the stat' Glocest' cap. 2. it was otherwise of an action ancestrall possessory, founded upon one dying seised where he need not to shew the esplees; as besaiel. aiel, & cosinage; except he had pleaded a feoffement, to which the heir for tendernesse may not answer; and because the circumstances shall not be inqui­red as in Mordancest. and Assise, but that case is also remedied by the statute, and notwithstanding such feoffement pleaded, the inquest shall be taken as of another man of full age. And West. 2. cap. 46. is to be intended where the heir of the Dissei­see makes fresh sute, per 24 Ed. 3. Also notwithstanding that the heir of the feoffee of the Disseisor, the Vouchee, the prayee in aid, & tenant by receit within age shall have their age. The like case brought by a husband infant, and his wife in reversion, upon alienation of tenant for life, because it is in the right of the wife the plea shall not abide. But in a Formedon in reverter the plea shall abide. So in an appeal of Murther, because he may not deraign battail, and although he may have a champion in a Writ of right, yet the plea shall abide; because he may not discern his right ancestrall. Contra, if he brings a Droit of his own purchase, because it is inten­ded he may as well defend as purchase, p [...]r 40 Ed. 3. as it is also in Assise, and Entry in nature of Assise. And if an infant be Seignior, and the Tenant cease, or disclaim in Avowry made of his own seisin. Also in Escheat the plea shall not abide because no right descends in the land, and reason will that he shall have the land in recompence, where the survisees; and in some case though the ancestor might have had the action, yet the plea shall abide, as if one had cause to have a Dum fuit infra aetatem, upon an estate made by his ancestor who died within age, for at the time of his death the ancestor might not have the said writ, because within age. And now by the nonage of one of the Deman­dants the plea shall ahide: The same law in a Dum non suit compos mentis. So in a Formedon in Discender, the ancestor might not have the action; where he himself was the man [Page 105]from whom the descent was; (138.) And the heir in soc­cage shall not have an action of Accompt against his Guar­dian till full age: also a Formedon in Descender is a writ of right, and the Count quod remansit jus, and so out of the stat. of Glocest. and West. 1. for after theseisin once had, For­medon in remainder is gone, for that, &c.

354. The Countesse of Surrey Tenant for life surrendred to the King with an intention that the King should give to her other lands in recompence; The King aliened those, and gave others in recompence, which being upon defeisable ti­tle they are after evicted, the entred upon the Patentee, and it was decreed that het entry was not congeable; for it is no condition but only a confidence. (139.) Also there was not any request made before the gift made by the King, which ought to be when the condition is to bee performed to the party himself, contra if to a stranger. Also the King in this case is intitled by double matter of record, in which she may not enter upon the Patentee without petition, no more then upon the possession of the King. Also here was a recompence & fine executed, and if a man be barred in a Formedon upon warranty and Assets pleaded it is perpetually a Bar, although the Assets are after evicted. Quaere. Also it was her folly to accept of it, Bracton, Scito qu [...]d (ut) modus est (si) conditio (quia) causa.

The Earl of Huntington covenanted with the Lord Clinton to infeoffe him of the Mannor of D. before Easter, discharged of all former incumbrances but Leases whereof the ancient rent is reserved, after, and before the feoffement he made a new Lease rendring the ancient rent, 4 contra 2 that it is no breach.

356 Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury made a Lease for yeers of parcell of the Mannor of P. after he granted a Rent­charge out of the same Mannor to Dr. Buts, who also after devised the rent to the same Archbish. till 100 pound be le­vyed per retaining, the remainder to D. and died, the 100 pound is levyed and the rent is behind, and D distrained up­on [Page 106] M. Lessee of H. for one yeer, who pleaded in Bar to the Avowry the Lease made to H. before the charge, who let to him, and shewed not the originall Lease, nor shewed not the place where the confirmation of the said Lease was made, upon which the Avowant demur [...], and ex­ceptions were also taken to the Avowry. (140.) Because he pleaded the confirmation to the grant of the rent quod Prior ecclesiae Cant' & ejusd' loci Capitul' confi [...]m', and said not Ca­thed' nor named the Saint, whereas there were divers Priors and Churches in Canterbury; and said also, as in the same writing bearing date at Cant. in the Chief house, or in domo capitul' fully appeareth, where it may be delivered in another place. And for the imperfection in the pleading both par­ties Repled' agard. But as to the matter in law it was mo­ved; If a Rent-charge for yeers shall passe by a devise pa­roll, because locall, but agreed it shall goe to the Execu­tors, as it is of a Relief due to a Lord, because they represent the Testator. And a devise of a Wa [...]d and a Villain is good per paroll because transitory, and if a new Rent-charge being against common right be deviseable as land is, because it shal charge the Tenant without atturnment, and not per prescrip­tion. Also if the remainder be good, depending upon a particular estate in suspence, for if a Seigniory be granted to the Tenant for his life, the remainder over, it is a void re­maind', and if it be granted to the Tenant and a stranger it shall not stand for benefit of survivor, but is extinct as to a moity; also it was said that by the regrant to the Arcbishop the annuity was suspended, and a personall thing or action once suspended by the act of the party it is gone for ever. But otherwise if by the act of the law; Then also he may not after have resort as to a Rent-charge, for although it be at his e­lection to charge in whose hands soever, yet if he discharge [...]ny of the hands both is gone. Also after the archbishop a­liened the Mannor whereof, &c. to the King, and by that the rent granted is included; and as to the Devisee of a term for life, and if he die before expiration that shall remain, &c. [Page 107]if the first alien the entire, he that should have the remainder is without remedy. Quaere if a Quem redditum reddat lieth where termor of a Rent-charge grants that by fine.

Holden a void devise, for the devise was not within the sta. 1 Rich. 3. to convey the possession, till the statute 27 H. 8. which transfer the use in possession, (143.) was a counter­mand of the devise per drowning the use in the possession, & the possession may not be devised till 32 H. 8. which inables to devise the possession, and that shalbe intended to inable in time to come. So for the weaknesse of the foundation, &c. and that from the beginning, &c. and it was adjudged void. yet it had been good by a new publication after 32.

368. John Sherleys a Frenchman one of the rebells with Stafford, who rebelliously took the Castle of Scarborough in Yorkshire, was now arraigned in the Kings bench upon an. Indictment of treason, which was contra legeanc' su [...]e debit, [Page 110]Nota, it was well, although he was no subject, because in a time of peace. But if it had been in a time of war between our two countreys, he shall be [...]ansomed, and not arraigned, and the Venire fa [...]as awarded in York was generall, and not de medietate linguae, for there are no presidents of triall in treason per Med ling'. Also the stat. 1 & 2 Ph and Mary is, that all trialls in treason shall be according to the Common law. But for felony and murther it is otherwise, as in the case of Gavarre of the death of Gambo, 3 Edw. 6. The cri­all per Med. ling. first by the stat. 27 Ed. 3. cap. 8. was made for aliens which were Merchants of the Staple, who moved plea before the M [...]ior of the S [...]uple. But by stat. 28 E. 3. c. 13. it is made general for all aliens, and in all pleas before whomsoe­ver, yea although the King be a party. But after there was a statute 2 H 5. cap 3. which is, that in a plea reall or perso­nall where debt or damages amount to 40 marks, that it should bee a good challenge that the Jury had not freehold 40. s. per yeer, and because an alien may not have freehold here this statute was declared per H. 6. cap. 29. not to extend to such tryalls; Quaere of the said statute, for the King and the Lords only made the said declaration, and the Commons are omitted in the words of the act. The Plaintiffe 21 H. 7. after Venire facias, and al. destringas shewed that the Defen­dant is an alien, and to avoid delays for that, and prayed a Venire facias of new de med' ling' according to the statute, and he had it. (145.) Quaere if an alien Plaintiffe suffer a Ve­nire facias to be returned before he requires med' ling' if hee hath not passed his time, for the statutes were made for their benefits if they would require them.

369. Information upon arrerages of accompt adjudged before Auditors assigned by Commission, was put by the Atturny of the King agai [...]st the Receiver of Irel', the De­fendant may not wage his law, but ought to plead ad patri­am, nihil debet. Vide Stat. 5 H. 4. cap. 8.

371. A Dean made a Deputy per paroll who in his ab­sence with the Chapter confirmed a grant made by the Bi­shop, Quaere, if it shall bind the successor.

372. The stat. 8 H. 6. cap. 16. that a demise or a grant to ferm by the Lord Chancell' &c. before office fully retur­ned (or within a month after, if any tender traverse, and offer to take it to ferm) shall be void; after till 18 H. 6. cap. 6. there was a evasion used, viz. to take to ferm before any title found for the K. 146) which is remedied by the said stat. 18. Those statutes are not to be intended but that such grants are good, where the King is wel intitled without office. Also an estate in fee or tail is not within the statute.

373. Villers Assise, It was found upon speciall verdict, that the husband and wife seised in the right of his wife per Indenture, in consideration of 60 pound demised, bargained, and sold land to B. for 30 yeers, the remainder to themselves for life, the remainder to their son, and to the daughter of B. in tail, and suffered a recovery to the said uses, and it was found besides out of the Indenture, that the said assurance was as well in consideration of the marriage to be between their son and the daughter of B. as for the said money: and over it was found that the father and mother died, the term expired, the son having issue died, his wife levyed a sine as that, &c. to a stranger with warranty of the said land, the issue within 5 yeers entred for the forfeit, (147) upon 11 H. 7. against whom an Assise is brought, Dyer. The money is the sole consideration expressed, then the other shall not bee averred, as an use shall not be averred against an use expres­sed. Neque causa matrimon' prelocuti or other consideration is expressed, but if no consideration had been expressed, then a consideration might have been averred without deed; also the land went from a feme covert who may not limit an use but by writing, then the consideration with her assent shall be only in writing. Therefore before 32 a Lease paroll made [Page 112]by husband and wife, and the husband died, and she accepts the rent; yet the Lease is not affirmed because it could not be assented to at the first, and then the finding of that by the Jury, which may not be averred, nor given in evidence, in void; Then it is not within the 11 H. 7. for it is not a Join­ture although made by the ancestor of the husband, for a Jointure shall have no other consideration then love and ad­vancement, where nothing was the cause here, but the mo­ney of the King, or the Kings coin. Also a Jointure shall be a present sustentation, and not a remainder as here. But three held contra, and that another consideration which is not re­pugnant to that mentioned in the Indenture may be aver­red, and it shall be within 11 H. 7. although money be part of the consid', for wel-nigh all marriages are made for money. Dyer, that a gift in frank-marriage may be before, or at the time, or after marriage, and upon divorce the feme shall have the intire; and it is said frank, because the dispositi' free from services: (148.) notwithstanding the stat. of Gloce [...]', yet war­ranty by tenant of the courtesy, continues collaterall, not­withstanding it be no Bar without assets, and it seems if he enters not in the life of the father he shal be bar' without as­sets, so by a release with warranty, for that is not an alienati­on, as the words of the statute are; and the statute is where the husband aliens the inherit' or marriage of his wife, so that it seems that land purchased by the wife is not within. But the stat. 11 H. 7. is more hard against women, because they have no voice in Parliament, and eradicate and made void all; and where a woman had jointure in tail, there warranty lineal, & no bar without assets, which is reasonable, and yet by the said statute that is destroyed, which is hard, and therefore the statute shall be taken strictly; there it is said a man may not revoke a gift Causa matrimonii praelocuti as a woman may.

324. If a woman covert be tenant for life, and a fine le­vyed of that to her and her husband, who renders for yeers, Quaere if a forfeiture; It's cleer if a feme bee before in taile [Page 113]within 11 H. 7. and accepts such a fine, it is not a forfeit. Pe­nycocks case.

375. Debt against the heir upon the obligation of his fa­ther, who aliened the assets hanging the writ, and pleaded nothing by descent the day of the writ purchased, &c. it was found against him, and a generall judgment, and an Elegit de mediet' omnium terrarum the heir as his proper debt. But this Elegit according to the ancient Formedons without li­mitation of time, and upon return nihil habuit, &c. another Elegit issued to extend that, quod habuit die of the Nisi prius, for this day, and the day in the Bank are all one in law. Brooke if he had aliened of covin hanging the writ, if that be returned by the Sheriffe, a new writ shall issue reciting that. Note the execution was ruled by the court ut supra, yet else­where speciall judgment, &c. and execution of the intire as­sets, quod durum.

N. in speciall tail, they enter-mary, the stat. 27 H. 8. made, makes them not joint-tenants by individed moities, for that executes the possession in such form, quality, and condition, &c. Therefore where the husband after aliens the intire to one of the feoffees and die, the wife shall have a Cui in vita of the moity, per Curiam: but if she dies the son may maintain a Formedon of the intire. Note the use changed supra upon the posses' of the feoffee without claime, &c. Bedles case.

A man bound in 20 pound for the payment of 10 pound hee pleaded tender at the day and place in a debt [Page 114]brought upon the said Obligation, and upon demur' adjudg­ed, that he behoves to plead alwaies ready, although there be a place certain where the payment shall be, otherwise it is of a thing collaterall, Panells case, Catling, & Griffith contra, because the place is parcell of the obligation, 7 H. 4. tamen 11 H. 6. contra. vide good diversity, 19 H. 8.12.

380. Brooke Chief Justice of the common place revoked a grant made by himself before of the office of the chief Pro­tonotary, beca. the Grantee inidoneus, & gave it to another, and there is a president put 5 E. 4. (151.) where the office of the clerk of the Crown in the Kings Bench was granted to a Vintner, and another, and after died, and the Vint' exhibited his Patent, & it seemed to the Justices because he was never exercised in the office that his Patent is void, and refused to admit him, for the benefit of the King and his people, and after signified his disability to the King, and commended a­nother to him as sufficient, which the King Ore tenus them commanded to admit and swear.

381. Sir John Savage Sheriffe in fee, was indicted in the Kings bench for escape of two felons felonice & voluntarie, and of hold' his Turn in loco consueto against the statute of magna Charta, The Atturny of the Queen put in an Infor­mation upon the Indictments, and by the Court his office was seised without a Scire facias quousque, &c.

382. Per touts les Justices where a man deviseth that his Executors shall sell land, and of the sum coming, shall give [Page 115]such a portion to his daughters, it is not a Legacy, because out of land, and an action of Accompt lies, and not sute in the Court Christian, upon which a prohibition was granted, con­tra 9 Eliz.

383. A man being in execution in the Fleet for a debt recovered in the Common pleas, being before condemned in the Kings Bench for another debt, he was now removed by a Corpus cum causa condempne; It was holden that the Plain­tiffe may acknowledge satisfaction for both debts in the Kings bench, for he is in the Ward of the Marshal for both, and if he escape the Marshall shall be chargeable for both.

384. A Proviso semper, and it is covenanted and agreed, and the Lessee covenants and grants, that neither he nor his Executors or Assignes shall not alien or grant the term to any without the assent of the Lessor, otherwise then to his wife, or to one of the children of the Lessee, the Lessee died, and his Executors granted the Term to one of the sons of the Lessee: And 3 held that he may not that grant over to a stranger without licence, but two held contrary, and that the restraint is determined by the grant to the son, Quaere also if it be a Condition or but a covenant.

385. Thymolby & another arraigned upon an indictment of robbery, pleaded non culpable and a Venire fac' awarded, and 3 of the Jury were sworn against both; T. challenged 4 others without shewing cause or saying peremptory, and the other would not challenge them, upon which T. was taken from the Bar, and more till 12 sworn against the other, and found him culpable; and by all the Justices it is a good triall, for he was not discharged but stood asid for a time; ruled 1 H. 5. for although it be one panell indeed, yet it is severall inquests in law, and may proceed against one sole, contra in an appeal, & this Venire facias had not words, & qui nulla affinit' atting', &c. as in an appeal.

In assise Hunt' of the office of the Regist' of the Admi­ralty it was prescribed, quod quilibet hujusmodi persona, which shall be named by the Admirall, shall be Register of the [Page 116]Admiralty for life, and it was found that the Admirall na­med two by deed habend' for life, and that one is dead; quaere if the prescription be performed, viz. si quilibet shall be ta­ken singularly, that but one shall be officer; where is a name collective, and understood of many. Or if where one dies so that the other ought to claim in by the first Grantor, as by a Grant made to him sole, if that maintain the prescription. It seemed to divers that it shall. Quaere also if two may bee Joint-officers, the Grantor by deed of an office shall not al­ter the prescription to nominate per paroll, for a man may speak or nominate by his deed. A Corody uncertain may not be granted but to one, but certain may be granted to many. Fitzh. N. B. (154.) There it is holden if a man as­sign dower to his wife by deed, habend' for term of his life rendring rent, it is void habend' & reddend' for she is in by her husband.

388. Tenant in Chivalry of a common person made a gift in tail, the remainder to the Queen in fee, Tenant in tail died, his issue within age, per opin. he shall not be in ward to any, for the Tenure of the ancient Seigniory is extinct, and the services gone by the fee simple in the King, who may not hold of any.

389. Oldnold indicted for slanderous works of the Queen three months passed, contra the form of divers statutes ge­nerally, and without mention unde scandalum in Regno inter Dominam Regin' & Magnat' vel populum suum oriri poterit, he was after arraigned and convicted of that; the question was, [Page 117]what Judgment he shall have, and by what law, for he is not punishable, per 1 & 2 P. & M. because the three moneths passed, and the 2 & 12 Rich. 2. are only of punishing slan­ders of the Nobles. So it is only punishable by West. 1. cap. 4. and according to that he had judgment of fine and impri­sonment at the Queens pleasure till he had found out the author.

390. Tyrrell for 400. l. payed by G. by deed indented and inrolled, bargained and sold, gave, granted and covenanted land to the said G. and his heir habend' to the use of the Bar­gainer for life, the remainder in tail to G. the remainder to the right heirs of the Bargainor, this limitation by the haben' is void and impertinent, for by the Justices it is of an use ri­sing out of an use.

391. Land deviseable came to H. 8. by dissolution, who granted it to hold in Chivalry in Capite, the Patentee devised the intire, it is a good devise against the heir for all, for no words in the 32 H. 8. restrains the authority to devise land deviseable before the statute, but peradventure not against the King for ward and primer seisin.

392. At the Common law a Melius inquirend. is grantable per Register, where found was by office quod tenementa te­nentur of the heir of J.S. and named him not; (156.) where A. is heir of the part of the mother of he which is dead, but of the part of the father ignora'. And also where the value was too little. But doubted upon the clause in the 2 Ed. 6. c. 8. that where de quo vel de quibus ignorant, where tenure of the King is found, but by qu. servic' ignorant, that a Melius in­quirend' shall be awarded as is used, any late custome to the contrary notwithstanding. If non obstant, the proviso in the Act which extends not to prejudice or take away the title of the King, or of any another accrued by any other inquisition before the said day, but they shall enjoy as if that Act had not been made, if upon such ancient offices menti' Melius inquiren' lies; the better opinion that it doth not, notwithstan' Saunders vouched a president to the contrary. If a man be [Page 118]found by office of the age of 15 yeers, and when he comes to 20 he is found by Aetate probanda of full age, if the Queen had no remedy but ought to make livery. vide the words of the statute, that at his very full age indeed, he shall have an Aetate proban' and if it be granted before it seems a traverse shall be admitted, and so ruled.

393. Greiswold seised in fee by Inden' made a Lease for life, remainder to the heir males of his own body, the remaind' to his heirs, he died having two sons, tenant for life died, the eldest son entred and died having a daughter: Adjudged that she shal have the land as heir general, for it's cleer the tail is not good, for he may not make his own right heir a Purcha­ser, without departing with the fee (4 H. 6. Chapmans case) but admitting it good, in various opinions if it ends upon the death of the eldest son without heir male, viz. if he was pur­chaser, or had it as heir male of the body of his father by de­scent. Vide Robridges case, 1. 2. & 4. Ed. 3. and Littleton in tail and conditions, where land is given to the son and to the heir males of the body of his father which is dead.

394. Annuity was brought against the successor of the Bishop of Ely, who granted for life to the Plaintiffe the Stewardship and fee of 40. s. pro, &c. percipiend' de manerio de D. and the Plaintiffe shewed that he kept the Court, but a­verred not the ingrossing of the rolls, and that after the Bi­shop discharged him, &c. It seems he ought to tender his ser­vice to every successor, an it is issuable that such successor non exoneravit. The Bishop came by Atturny and made no defence, but his Bailiffe demanded conusance, and was allow­ed; and yet the words de licet ipsimet sit pars, are not in the Patent, because so it had been allowed before.

395. Puttenham by Indenture granted land in fee ferme with condition of reentry for non payment, and covenanted to make further assurances, and by another Indenture bearing like date, he covenanted to levy a fine to the use, intents, ef­fects [Page 119]and conditions in the first Indenture, and to no other, now he levyed a fine as that to the Grantee; It was decreed against the opinion. Baker, Catlyn, & Kelway, that neither the fine nor condition is gone, for the Indenture rules that, as if it had been an expresse proviso to save the rent. (158.) 6 R. 2. Simile in Assise, and 23 Eliz. Bradborne levyed a fine of land rendring rent, and now for further assurance a writ of En­try in the post was brought against J. S. who vouched Brad­borne, who entred into the warrant generally, the opinion of all the Justices that the rent is not gone.

306. In a writ of Entry en le quibus against Marrow of 70 acres of land in H. the tenant pleaded that one C. was seised in fee, and demised the land to him for life, the De­mandant intitled himself by absque hoc quod dimisit modo & forma. It was found that C. and 6 others were seised to the use of G. of the said 70 acres, and of a house in H. which house and lands had been from time called W. and that the said C. and the others 16 H. 8. joined in a Lease of the said house called W. with the pertinenc' to the Tenant, &c. It was moved in arrest of Judgement, 1. That this demise found, will not maintain the issue for the Tenant. 2. It is not expressely found that the 70 acres are appertaining to the house called W. which is found to be demised. 3. A Ju­ror which had his appearance of record, and was not dischar­ged by challenge, he being sworn upon another inquest; 3. de circumstant. were put in to make 12. whereof one was in his place. 4. Quaere if issue for the 7 part of the land be sufficient found for the Tenant.

397. In action upon the case against an Hostler, issue was joined if the goods of the Plaintiffe were robbed in de­fault of the Defendant. Per Curiam it is a good evidence that the house was ful, upon which he refused the Plaintiffe, who said he would make shift, &c. and if the cause be false, an action upon the case lies against the Hostler upon refusall.

398. A man made a Jointure of soccage land to his wife, after he purchased Capite land, and devised two parts of it, [Page 120]none of the soccage shall supply the 3. part to satisfie the sta­tute of Wills, except covin may be averred.

And the effect of the surmise in the libell shall be put in the writ, so the Judgment was of costs and damage double for the Plaintiffe, and but ten pound to the Queen, & Capiatur. And holden that the action may either be brought where the Contract was, or where the citation was served, The writ and the Count were Coram C. Lievetenant of the Court of Admiralty, whereas the Court had no Deputy. It is not the form to put the Damages in the writ. In presidents three statutes, viz. 13 Rich. 2.15 Rich. 2. & 2 H. 4. are put, where here the 15 Rich. 2. was omitted.

And the certificate challen­ged because there is not addition of Clark nor Bishop, But non allocat. The entry of the certificate was that it was brought by A. Cancell' of the Bishop without speaking of his command­ments, yet challenged for that non all [...]cat' because the recording of that is not of necessity: The Indictment was in Middlesex according 5 Eliz. in that county where the Kings Bench; the [Page 166]Defendant pleaded not culpable. And because the 5. of Eliza. warrants not the tryall there, the Inquest was of Surrty where the proffer of the Oath was; And per Curiam upon that issue it is a good evidence that he which certified was not Bishop of the time of the offering of the Oath, and the Jury may take notice of that.

639. In an action upon the case for calling the Plaintiffe Murtherer and Theef, the Defendant justified Murther, be­cause he was indicted of Murther at Chester, holden that it is not a good justification, but the Plaintiffe passed that, and said that he was acquitted of that by the Jury, and shewed the ex­emplificate under the great Seal of the County Palatiue, to which the Defendant said no such Record, Quaere, it he may a­gainst such exemplification: And for theef the Defendant justified, because there was a Robbery done, and the common fame was that the Plaintiffe &c. and holden no Justification here but good in false imprisonment.

644. The husband seised of land in fee, a fine is levyed of that to him and his wife, and to the heirs of the husband, and they rendred for the life of the husband, the remainder to a stron­ger for life; the remainder to the right heirs of the husband; the husband died, & the tenant for life died; it seems the wife shal have the land for life, for the render to his own right heirs by the husband is no remainder, but the ancient reversion, for it is a void limitation per him and to his own right heirs; not­withstand' judgm' was given with the heir as a Purchaser, but it was compounded, but such a fine refused 13 E. 3. Bromlys case.

[Page 169] 645. In an action upon the second branch of 1 & 2 of P. & Ma [...]y of impounding intire distresse in severall pounds, the place where the distresse was taken is not materiall, no more then in a Trespasse of goods taken, 2 Just. contr. but upon the first branch the place is materiall, because distance of the place causeth the offence.

(238.)

646. The Lo. Shandoes brought a Trespasse upon the stat. West. 1. c. 26. de Malef. in parcis, &c. but upon issue found for him the Court advised for the entry of the judgm. because the acti­on was not also brought in the Queens name according to the presidents; also there is no double recitall according to the words of the stat. of finding surety: The bond that by the stat. shall be taken of the Defend' quod non ampl' malefa. extendeth also to all other parks; and it seems the Bond shall be by Recog­nizance to the King and not to the party.

647. The Coroners inquest indicted a man of murther, & quod fugam fecit, and upon his arraignment he is acquitted, and another found guilty ut oportet, and also found that he did not fly, yet he shall forfeit his goods, for upon his arraignment in this place the flying shall not be given in charge, for they were forfeit by the Indictment.

651. The Provost of Wells Parson imparsonee of the Parso­nage of Winsam, hee let the tithe for 50 yeers rendring rent, which was confirmed by the Dean and Chapter, but not by the Patron and Ordinary; the Provostship was by Parliament uni­ted to the Deanry, cum primo vacare conting. the Provost died, the Dean accepted the rent, and adjudged that the Lease is not affirmed, for the Lease of the Provost is void by his death; as it is of a Parson and Prebend; contra of a Bishop, Dean, Abb', &c. who are elective and may make a discontinuance. But if the Lease supra had been for life, it should not have been void without entry. Also the acceptance supra is not to the purpose, for the reversion is determined, and the name of the Successor altered, as if Tenant in dower, or other particular tenant made a Lease and died, and he in reversion or remainder accepts, (240.) that shall not affirm it, for the reversion is altered; and holden that the Jurors may take notice of the speciall act with­out an except' under the great seal given in evidence of that.

652. The wife had 3 part of the land of a Termor delivered to her by the Sheriffe in Dower, the Termor gave, granted and assigned all the land comprised in his Lease to A. and covenant that hee had not done any act, but that the assignee may enjoy it against every act, and was obliged to perform the convenant, the obligation is not forfeit; for the words (mes que) they have relation to the words that the Lessee had not done any act; and are not absolute words.

653. To build a new house in his wast or severall within a forrest is purpresture and nusance to the game; and finable at [Page 171]the discretion of the Justices of the Forrest, for suffering to stand where it is to be rased at their pleasure.

654. The Lessee of a Parson brought an ejectione firmae, the Defendant pleaded that the Parson was deprived; the Plaintiffe said that the Parson had appealed to the Bishop of Cant. in Cu­ria prerog. suade arcub. and because the words of the st. 24 H. 8. cap. 12. are, that an appeal shall bee to the Archbishop of the Province, where &c. without limiting any court in certain, the Plaintiff demur' and holden per Just. that to the Archbishop Canterbury are words sufficient and the rest but surplusage, and shall not prejudice. Also it appears that the Arches is not the Prerogative court: but because the Def. shewed not but demur' generally, the temporall Judges may not take notice of their jurisdiction.

655. It is not a good returne for the Sheriffe, quod mandant balivo itinerant' who answered that the arrest and Rescous is made, for it is the arrest of the Sheriffe himself: And if it be up­on a Capias ad satisfac' or a Capias utlag' after Judgment, he Sheriffe himself shall be charged with the escape, except it be by the Kings enemies; and he shall have his remedy over against he which made rescous, by his action upon the case; but if it had been a Bailie of a Franchise the return had been good, and Non omittas shall issue.

656. A Quare impedit against the Archbishop of Cant. the Bishop of Linc. and the Incumbent, they made default at the Grand distresse; upon that the Plaintiffe made title, and had a writ to the Bishop, and the writ was awarded to enquire of the damages, of the plenarty, and at whose presentation, and how long time since the vacation, and of what value the Church is per annum, all which points are returned by inquisi­tion, and accordingly judgement given that the Plaintiffe shall recover the presentation, and had a writ to the Bishop of Lir­coln, and damages to the value of the church for half a yeer, and the Defend' in misericord.

A Capias ad satisfac' retourn' tres Trin. is not served, the Factor of the Plaintiffe took it from the Sheriffe, and one of the pronot. clerks made tres Trin. tres Mich. and now the Factor delivered it to the Sheriffe unsealed, viz. to the Sheriffe of London, who made a warrant to the Serjeant, who arrested the Defend', and after the writ was sealed; the offendors for the practice were committed to the Fleet, but the writ was re­ceived, after it appeared upon examination that the Plaintiffe was ignorant of the practice, and the Defendant was committed to the Fleet in execution. The practice supra appeared, because the writ was sur testatum, and then it is entred upon the award of that, which was not amend'.

659. Two submitted to arbitriment by Recogn. for the right and interest in 200 acres of land called Kelstorling; and for all other actions and sutes concerning the same, Ita quod arbitrium &c. before a certain day: The Arbitrators awarded that the De­fendant shall have brakes during his life in the wast of the Town of Kelstorn, rendring to the other 2. s. per annum, and upon demurrer adjudged a void award for 3 causes. 1. Because the Arbitrators had disabled themselves, their authority being upon condition, viz. Ita quod; insomuch they had made award but of one thing; where the submission was of two; but if the submission had been per parol the award had been good for part. 3. Also they had not awarded the property of the land of which the submission was, but one profit out of the land. 3. They had not named Kelstorling, and although they that intended, yet the averrement of the parties may not declare the intent of the Ar­bitrators.

661. Three Coparceners, one aliened her part, the other brought a writ of partition against the Alienee, and the three coparc. upon the stat. and per Curiam it shall abate, because in this case a writ of partition lies at the common law. But yet if they join against and Alienee, and one of them had been non­sute, she shall be summoned and severed, and yet her part shall be alotted; If the husband of one of the coparceners, or one of the coparceners themselves had purchased part of the other co­parceners, they shall have a speciall writ at the common law a­gainst the third.

662. Submission unto award by obligation, so that it be made and yeelded in writing at or before Michael. &c. the Plaintiffe said that the Arbitrators by arbitriment in Script. fact. and made the delivery of it to the parties before the day, &c. and assigned breach; Defendant demur'; Curia against the Plain­tiffe.

1. It is not direct, but only an argument that the Arbitra­tors delivered the award.

2. Also he ought to have pleaded the delivery according to the condit' viz. that it was delivered at or before Michael. &c. and not before only.

3. Also reddit. had been more apt a word to answer to yeeld then deliberat'.

663. A Bill of debt against an Atturny of the Common Bank by name of husbandman, upon which he was condemned and brought a writ of Error, and after per Capias ad satisfac. seased with the seal of the Bank of the K.

664. Four Defendants in Assise, where the plaint was of 3 houses; and 3 Defend' took the tenancy severally of a house, and pleaded severall Bars, and to the residue no wrongs, the fourth took the intire tenancy of all without that, &c. and plea­ded also Bar at large, the Plaintiffe is at his perill to chuse his tenant.

665. Ed. 6. granted to a Bishop and his Successors an Advow­son, and that he shall hold to his proper use, after the death of the Incumbent, the Bishop by Indenture made a Lease, to begin af­ter the death of the Incumbent, which is confirmed and died, the Incumbent died, per touts Just. it is a void Lease against he suc­cessor, for he had nothing to let during the life of the Incum­bent, who survived him.

666. The Factor of the Plaintiffe and the Sheriffe conspired to arrest one condemned in debt, and after procured a Capias ad satisfac' and the prisoner brought into the court upon the re­turn of the writ he had the matter examined, and found ut su­pra: notwithstand, because the Pl. was not party to the crime, he remained in execution, and the Sheriffe and Factor amerced, the Sheriffe to 10. l. the Factor to 5. l.

(245.)

667. If a writ of Error bee delivered to the chief Justice or to the clerk of the Treasury, that is a perclose, to the awarding execution, but if the Plaintiffe pursue not to have the record re­moved before the writ of Error returnable, the Justices after may award execution; but otherwise it is of a Cerciorare to the Justices of Peace, to remove an indictment, which had words de non vult fel illam terminari alibi qu. coram se.

But Quaere if upon the said stat.

[Page 175] 669. Varney 34 H. 6. in execution in the Fleet for divers debts, as also for fines for the King returned in the Exchequer, caused himself to be indicted of felony, to the intent to confesse that, and to have his clergy, and so to be out of the temporal law, and after to make purgation, and this to defraud his creditors, and upon a Corpus cum causa all was removed into the K. Bench; the King understanding that, per privy seal commanded the Justices to stay the arraignment. After one of the creditors ac­knowledged satisfaction in Kings hench, of a debt recovered in the Exchequer, and note the judgment was quod esset inde sine die for esset inde quietus.

670. A Plur. Repleg. out of the Chancery returnable in the Bank, the Sheriffe of London returned that they ought to make Repl. by custome upon plaint, in the Sher [...]court, and not by writ out of the Chancer. & by all the Just' the return is insufficient, and another Plur. Repleg. award' to the Sher. now, and pro­cesse of contempt to attach the late Sheriffe, vide stat. Marlb.

[Page 176] 674. Assise of land in Middlesex, the Defendant pleaded a Lease for yeers to him made by one F. per name of a messuage in Surrey, and of all lands lately with that demised, and averred that to be the land in plaint, and in without wrong; the Plain­tiff demur'.

1. Because no colour is given to the Plaintiffe by F. Quae­re if it needs because the plea is no Bar to the assise, for not be­ing tenant of the franktenement, he shall say assisa non.

2. Also the house and land are in severall counties, therefore the per nomen is not well pleaded; (247.) But by the Justices upon the Lease for yeers supra, the land in both counties shall passe, but otherwise of an estate for life, for there shall be several liveries. It had been a better form to have pleaded, that F. was seised as well of the lands in view, as of the house, and demised, &c. per nomen, &c.

675. The Ordinary after administration committed was su­ed in debt by plaint in London, and being returned Nihil habet, upon suggestion the debt was attached in the hands of one W. who was indebted to the Testator, and after 4 defaults of the Ordinary, being returned non est inventus, and oath that the debt is due, the Plaintiffe had judgment and execution against the said W. against whom now the Administrator brought an action of debt, who pleaded the matter supra, the Plaintiffe de­mur. and adjudged he shall recover, for after the Administrat. committed, an action of debt lieth not against the Ordinary, nor yet for him, and it lies not at all till West. 2. cap. 19. which is within memory, and may not make a custome. Tosts case.

A Lord seised not, nor claimed his villain nor his issues within a hundred years, so that a Nativo ha­bendo [Page 195]lies not against the issue of the villain, because of the Statute 22. of Limitation.

Ayell, &c. which are Ancestrall, possessary, for in a Formedon the gift, and not the sei­sen of the ancestor is the title, and it is not within the statute of limitation 32. H. 8. to be brought of seisen within 50 years, idco, &c. And after Iudgement that the Voucher shall stand, and to recover seisen of that whereof the Fine is pleaded, and before the Iointe­nancy discussed, the Tenant prayed that he might re­move the Record upon a Writ of Errour, but the Court would not depart with the Record till the intire matter was discussed, for then they should proceed without warrant: also the Writ of Error is, quod si Iudi­cium inde redditum sit, & inde imports the intire demand.

Adjudged also that Ba­stardy and perjury are causes of refusall, but excep­tion was taken to the pleading, because the Incumbent said actio non before he shewed who was possessor, for o­therwise per Stat. 35. Ed. 3. he is not able to plead in Bar.

Harper & Weston held it was a resignat. and so other Iustices: but the Civilians held that the resignation ought to be by words renuncia­re, cedere, or dimittere, and that resignare is not an apt word, Dyer contra, but Harper and Weston held at the first, that the King although supream he may not take a resignation, without notice given to the Patron, for so it were a wrong to the Patron, si, &c. yet after Iudgement was given with their assent according.

If words of gift and grant shall passe the reversion, yet that payment as before by the Tenants not knowing of the Grant, is no Attournment. Plowd. would have the gift and Grant mure pro fraterno amore to raise an use to the youngest.

For the Correction of the limitation of the use, in which the wife was deceived, was lawfull; And the consideration in the last Indenture of the husband and wife, was sufficient to raise an use of the intire land to the heires of the wife, because the land moved from the feme, and it was for advancement of the [...]l [...]ne from whence the land discended.

886. Cobham Indicted of Pyracy stood mute, and had judgement of pain, fort, and dures, the Parliament pardoned all contempts, paines and Executions, &c. and excepted Pyracies.

Plowden it seems he ought not to sue livery of the 3. part, as the eldest son did, because the statute is satisfied for livery [Page 133]for the injurie for fault of Wardship, and the statute extends not when there is many issues advanced on after another, that every one ought to sue livery, one after another, but once for all: Quaere for they Compounded as to that point, and as to the remainder to the right heires, the youngest brother sued livery, for though he took as heir to his father, for which his eldest brother had sued Livery, and not as heire to his Neece, for such a remainder may not be possess. fratris, for de­fault of possession, yet because the Kings tenant is dead, and another in by discent, the Queen shall have her Duty, adjudge vide 40.

The recovery was suffer­ed, and a Fine levied, but variant from the Covenant, the Bargaine died before regrant of the Advowson, 1. It was nolden that the proviso, though it be placed among the Covenants, yet it was a condition to defeat all the Bargaine and sale. 2. That the regrant shall be upon request, but yet in the life of the Bargainee, for that his death is a breach of the condition. But Dy­er held [...] for want of conveyance within six moneths, the condition w [...]s broken, and it is not like to a Feoffe­ment where livery [...] to be made; and if so, then the Fine, (for it was levyed after the 6 moneths) conveyes this a­gain to the vendee absolutely. 3. Although the Fine [Page 236]vary from the Covenants, yet by the generall covenants that all estates after to be made shall be to the said u­ses, the condition shall be well preserved, so the Rent. And it is there holden that render of a Fine, which im­plies consideration, may be averred by writing to be to the use and so also may a gift in tail: and a gift in tail made by a woman to a man, rendring rent by writing, my be averred causa Matrimonii praelocuti.

H. 8. a man made a feoffment to the use of Alice his wife for life, and if she dies lea­ving the husband, then to the use of the husband and such wife as he shal after marry, for life for her jovnture, The remainder over to a stranger, and after with privi­ty and assent of the Feoffee, he in remainder joyned with the Feoffees in a feoffment, by letter of Atturney, to new uses, and after the Feoffee leavied a fine accord­ing; the first wife died, the husband took another wife and died, and five yeers after the fi [...]e, the second wife by commandment of the first Feoffees entred to revive the first use. Mounson and Harper said, that the entry is lawfull without possession, or commandment of the Feoffees, which had nothing therein, but the future use is in the custody of the Law, and 27 H. 8. hath given the possession to the use, and so the feoffment of the Feoffees void; But if they had right or title in the land, their feoffment had given it, per Mounson, It was the Lady Ʋmptons case, That a Feoffment of he in revers­on, and livery in absence of the Tenant for life will passe the Fee; Manwood and Dyer held that the use is drown'd, for the second Feoffees had not their possessi­on for any such confidence, for they have not notice, and the feoffment had taken away the entry of the first Feoffees, where their entry ought to execute the dor­mant use; And although the Statute concern the Franktenement and Fee, yet they have a mean interest in regard of the dormant use, the which is conveyd by the Feoffment, and it is no injury to the woman which was then unknown. Dyer said, the second wife shall not take in joynture, nor otherwise, for she was not in esse when the particular estate ended, by the death of the first wife.

341.

But all the Justices held the contrary, for there is a [Page 261]difference between an use and possession; Also Dyer thought that the remaind' after the death of the hus­band, is no j [...]ynture, but it shall be an estate in the life of the husband. Quaere accord.

984. A Formedon against husband and wife, the husband made default, the wife rescued and vouched, the demand' counterplead' the voucher in parcell for joyntute with her husband, non allocat', for the default of the husband shall not prejudice her, and it shall bee intended by the undivided moyties; And to another par­cell because the Vouchee not his Ancestors had nothing after the title of the Demandant, except joyntly with A. and B. who are in full life & non allocat' because he ought to alledge by name that the Vouchee or his An­cestors were joynt-tenants, and aver the continuance of the Joynture and survivor, for otherwise he acknow­ledgeth the possession whereof he may make a Feoff­men [...]: And the Demandant did counterplead in an­other parcell, because the husband and wife have leavi­ed a fine, as that he hanging the Writ non allocat' for he is stopped by his using his Writ against them, to say they are not Tenants; But if he will counte [...]ple [...], it should be in the place and Garranty, because she shall not have in value if she had nothing in the land de­manded.

985. The Statute 27. H. 8. of Suppressing, is, that Leases made by Governours within a yeer of the Sta­tute, by which the houses are decayed, shall be void, and there are affirmative words, that Leases with the ancient Rent shall be good. A Lease was made with­in fourty seven dayes of the statute, for threescore yeers, without reserving the ancient Rent, and holden that is shall not, be intended Covenous without expresse averment of the Covin, for it may be bona fide. And the affirmative words shall not be entended, and no other. [Page 262]Also peradventure the value was decayed.

988. The Earl of Arundell granted a Mannor to the Earl of Northumberland in tail, the remainder in tail, upon Condition that they, nor neither of them, the Mannor or any part thereof, shall alien, discontinue, or do any thing in any manner, or permit directly or indirectly, but that without impediment it may and shall revert, if they die without issues: The Earl of Northumberland took w [...]e, also he granted the reversi­on of a Copdyhold according to the Custome, and af­ter he committed treason, and after he is attaint of [Page 263]that by outlawry, and died without issue, the Coppy­holder in possession died, the Earl of Arundell entred into the Manor, upon which the Grantee in reversion entred into the Coppyhold land, and the Lord of A­rundell brought a Trespasse, and the opinion of the Ju­stices that it lies not.

1. By all besides Geffreys the taking of the wife al­though her Dower may hinder the immediate reverting, yet it is no breach of the condition, for if there had been an expresse condition that the donee shall not tak wife, or that his wife shall not be indowed, it shall be repugnant to the estate and void, and besides, be cause the wife may not enter in her Dower without as­signment, that shall revert absolutely without im­pediment.

2. Also by the better opinion the reverting is not hindred by the reversion granted of the Coppyhold, for the Coppyholder is but Tenant at will according, &c. so that the Frank tenement may revert, but per­adventure an expresse condition that he shall grant a Coppyhold, in reversion he would be restrained; &c. But the generall condition here as it seems, be­cause the condition shall be taken strictly, it shall not comprehend, a private Custome upon the land hath not an eye, warrants of Land in Burrough English shall bind the heire at the Common Law onely; so the heir at the Common law, shall take advantage of the Con­dition.

344.

3. Also the Treason committed without Attainter is no cause of entry, for the Condition, and when the attainter came as it seems per melior. opin. it is no breach of the Condition, for the quo minus reverti debe­at & possit, had mitigated the precedent words of the Condition, for otherwise if it had been an impediment to the descent, to the issues, it shall be a breach of the [Page 264]Condition, but the quo minus, &c. it shall mitigate that if it may revert as it should, for the King had estate but during the issues, and then it may revert immediately with Petition or sure, as the Lord Bark­leys Case is that his Entry was adjudged congeable upon the failing of the Issue male of the body of H. 7. But all agreed, that although there be a Cause of Entry for some of the matters, and yet the Gran­tee of the Reversion of the Coppyhold shall retain, for it is a thing incident to the Custome of the Manors, which the Lord for the time may grant, &c.

Mounson and Manwood held the Consideration was against Law, be­cause it imports maintenance, also the Plaintiffe ought to have shewed what businesse, &c.

And it was resolved by the Justices that the son posthum. shall have it as Issue male of the body, for if it be by purchase because of the mean estate for years, the uncle may not have it, for it behoves to be heire as well as male, who shall take: And the daughter of the eldest son is heire: But it seems that it shall be taken by discent till the son born, also by all the Justices but onely Dyer and Peryam, that the recovery is executory against the Issue in Tail, be­cause of the recovery in value.

H. 8. for buying of titles was exhibited. And by all the Justices being but a terme, it is within the statute, as in Partridge Case; And it was holden that for the use to the bastard there ought to be a valuable consideration, for naturall affection is not sufficient, for he is a stran­ger in the law, although a son by nature. Besides if the bastard had title, yet that the non claim within 5. yeers of the Fine, had barred that. And as it seems, if the consideration had been sufficient, that he had title in the life of the father, for as it seems the estate tail of the father in remainder was in abyance by grant of all his state; so that the bastard who had failed in remain­der is immediate to the advantage.
