The Epistle Dedicatory.
TO THE Professors & Practisers Of the COMMON-LAW OF ENGLAND.
THis Tract in French, was bequeathed to me by an Alliance, William Glisson Esquire deceased, which I have translated into our own Language for the Common benefit of all. I am not singular in it, for daily experience manifests the contrary: neither is it a Novelty for Law-books to appear in this dresse. Antiquity may be plead [...]d, Sr. Germin Perkins, Stanford, Cromp [...]on, Lambert, Sr Henry Finch, Dalton, and divers others have in former dayes troden this path. My desires are it may not be perused by those who read only to fault, what they [Page] cannot mend, but by those whose judicious Pen will correct the errors as Cognizances of humane frailty, I wish it successful to all, be he Pleader or Practiser, and that the Common Law of England may shine forth in these Cloudy, and ecclipsed dayes is the prayer of him, who is

Accompt against a Guardian in Soccage.
In what Court Accompt lyeth against a Gardein in Soccage.
IT lyes in the County or Common Ban. Nat. br. 117. b.
It lyes not before the Shrieve 43 Edw. 3. fol. 21. pl. 11. Thorp; For Brooke, Accompt 14. saith the Shrieve cannot assigne Auditors.
[Page 2] A good plea to say the Land is ancient demean, because the reality may come in question, Coke 5 part, fol. 105. A. Aldens case.
It lies not in the Marshalsey: Coke 10. part, 74. b. Marshalsey.
Who shall have a Writ against Gardein in Soccage.
The Heir in ward shall maintain an Action after the age of fourteen yeers, or at his full Age at his election. Littleton.
But Nat. br. 118. b. he shall not have it till the age of 21 years. Crooke fol. 131. pl. 106. by reason of the words of Marlebridge cap. 17. scil. (cum ad aetatem pervenerit) 3 & 4 Mariae. Dyer. 137. pl. 25. New tenures 3. b. 18. Edw. 3. 55. pl. 76. 29. Edw. 3. fol. 5. pl. 13. Vide Regist. origin. 136. Lib. Intra 21. D. 8 R. 2. Gard. 166. 10 Rich. 2. Account 132. Doct. Stud. fol. 14. b. old Nat. br. 91. A.
If the heir in such case dye before his full age, his Executor shall maintain an Action of Account, Crook 131. Pl. 106.
Yet note the heir in Gavel-kinde at fifteen years brought an account against a Guardian in Soccage, and shews, by the Custome he may alien at such age; and for this cause he was awarded to account, per Welby. 29 Edw. 3. fol. [...]. pl. 13.
The Executor of an Heir shall have an Account: per Westm. 2. cap. 23. Littleton 27. A. Crooke 131. Pl. 106.
[Page 3] Executor of an Executor shall have an Account by 25 Edw. 3. cap. 23. Com. 290.
Filius & Heres Domini defuncti non habebit breve de computo, quia pertinet ad executionem administrationis bonorum defuncti. Regist. Orig. 135. b.
Recusant shall not have an action for any thing that is seized into the hands of the King. 3. Jac. cap. 5.
Against what person Account lyeth as Guardian in Soccage.
Account lyeth against any that taketh the profits before the Ward be of the age of fourteen years. Littleton Na. Br. 118. D. 4 Hen. 7. 6. 10 Hen. 6. 7. 13 Edw. 3. Account 77. 29 Ed. 3. 5. Pl. 13.
But if one occupie, and after Guardian in Soccage recover in right of the Ward, the party shall not render an account to the Heir, for the Guardian ought to account for this▪ 27 Edw. 3. 79. Gard. 22.
The reason is (as it seems) that the Writ doth not make mention of the blood. Regist. origin. 136. b. neither the Count. Lib. intra.
Account lyeth not against an Executor of a Guardian, Littleton. Nam non jacet versus executores, quia merè pertinet ad Curam Christianam, cognoscere de compto reddendo versus executores. Regist. origin. 135. b. 28 Hen. 8. Dyer: 23. Pl. 145.
[Page 4] But if Executors account, an Action of debt lyeth for the Arrearages. 2. Hen. 4. 13. Pl. 2.
And if the Testator covenants to account to the Heir and doeth not, Covenant lyeth against his Executor, Regist. origin. 165. b. Nat. br. 145. H.
It lyes against a Woman, 19. Hen. 6. b. Newton.
It lyes against the Husband and Wife: 18. Edw. 3. 55. Pl. 76.
For what things Account lyeth.
It lyes for woods and underwoods sold, for [...]ands, Tenements, Meadow, Pasture; also for Rents and services, perquisits of a Court ad valentiam. Lib. Intra. 21. B. & C.
Marlebridge cap. 17. Respendeant de exitibus per aequalem computationem, salvis ipsius custodibus rationabilibus misis suis.
For Fines of Copy-hold Land granted by one. Trin. 1. Jac. Com. Bane. Shopland. versus Rider. Rott. 853.
For the issues and profits of the Lands: Littleton.
For the Marriage of the Heir, if he marry before the Age of fourteen years: Littleton 27. A.
If the marriage be not as great in value as the marriage of the Heir: Littleton 27. A.
No Account for the presentation of a Church; therefore the Guardian cannot present thereunto. Nat. br. 33. T. 28 Edw. 3. 89. 29. Edw. 3. 5. 8. Edw. 2. Presentment 10.
[Page] But by Daniel Justice Trin. 1 Jac. Com. Ban. Rott. 853. Shopland against Rider: the Guardian shall present if the Heir be not of the age of discretion.
It lyes for writings, 32 Edw. 3. Account. 60.
The Account against a Guardian in Soccage.
The Heir counts that it was ordained by the Common Council the Guardian should account, &c. and shews the tenure specially, and that the Defendant had the custody of the Lands, &c. from such a day for 12 years ensuing and hath not accounted for the issues and profits, &c. and that at such a day the heir was at full Age. Lib. Intra. 21. b. Sect. 1. 2. 29 Ed. 3. 4. Pl. 13. No. Lib. Intra. 47 E. Sect. 3.
The Writ against a Guardian in Soccage.
Rex, &c. si A. fecerit, &c. tunc summon. &c. B. quod sit coram Justic. nostris, &c. ostendens quare cum de Comm. Concilio regni nostri provisum sit, quod custodes terrarum & t [...]nementorum quae tenentur in Soccagio haeredes terrarum & tenementorum cum ad aetatem pervenerint, reddant rationabilem computum suum de exitibus, terris, & tenementis illis provenient. de tempore quo custodes illi habuerunt, ratione minoris aetatis haeredis praedictae, idem B. paefato A. rationabilem computum suum de exitibus proveniend. de terris & tenementis suis in N. quae tenentur in Soccagio, & quorum custodiam idem B. habuit, dum praedictus A. infra aetatem fuit reddere contradicit, ut dicitur. Et ideo, &c. This writ is founded per Marlebridg cap. 17. Nat. br. 118. A. Regist. orig. 1 [...]6.
[Page 6] Note this Writ lyes against any one that occupies the land during the nonage of the ward, whether it be the parents of the Heir or not, Regist. origin. 136. b. for it makes no mention of the bloud, but only of taking the profits.
The writ was Receptor denariorum: A good plea to the writ because he was Guardian in Soccage, for otherwise he would be twice charged: 18. Edw. 4. 3. Pl. 17.
The Proces against a Guardian in Soccage. 1. before appearance. 2. after appearance.
1 The Process at common Law was but a distresse infinite, Coke 3. parte 12. A. Herberts Case.
But per Marlebridge cap. 23. A capias was given against a Baily, and per Westm. 2. cap. 11. exigend. given against a Servant, Bayly, Chamberlain, or any other Receiver: Coke 3. parts 12. A. Harberts Case.
And in an account against a Guardian there shall be a Capias 29 Edw. 3. 5. Pl. 13.
But no exigend. because this was given against a Receiver only: 17 Edw. 2. Process 203. 17 Edw. 3. 59. Pl. 55. Shard.
2 If he comes in by Capias or distresse he shall be committed to the Fleet: 29. Edw. 3. 35. pl. [...]3.
If the Account be adjudged, &c. and be not present in Court, a Capias ad computandum shall issue forth: 1. Edw. 3. 2. pl. 10. 1. Hen. [Page 7] 7. 1. pl. per Townshend. Lib. Intra. 18. c. Sect. 1, 2, 3.
Judgement quod computet: the Plaintif dyes, his Executors shall have a scire facias, [...] he come not in upon the garnishment, an exigend. shall issue forth: 14 Hen. 4. 1.
The Bar by a Guardian in Soccage: 1. To the Action of Account. 2. Before Auditors.
When he hath the Custody till such a day 1 from such a day, and accounts till the full agc of the Plaintif without that, that he was Guardian before or after, Lib. Intr. 21. cap. Sect. 2.
A good Bar that he expended so much for necessaries for the Plaintif: Littleton.
No Bar to say he was next of Kinne, for the occupation is the substance, Littleton. 29 Edw. 3. 5. pl. 13. 22 Edw. 3. 11. pl. 8. 4 Hen. 7. 6. b. 10 Hen. 6. 7. pl. 21. 13 Edw. 3. Account 77.
That he was never Guardian in Soccage a good Bar: Lib. Intra. 21. b. Sect. 1.
The judgement against a Guardian in Soccage, 1. Of Account. 2. To recover the thing.
The Judgement is, quod computet, & ideo in 1 misericordia, quia prius non computavit, Coke 11. parte 38. A. Metcalfs Case. Lib. Intr. 19. D. Sect. 1.
The Judgement is, Ideo consideratum est, 2 quod praedictus W. recuperet versus praefatum M. [Page 8] as much as he is found in arrearages & dampnae occasione implacitationis: Coke 11 parte. 40. A.
E [...]ution against a Guardian in Soccage. 1. per Common Law, 2. per Statute Law.
By the Common Law it was but a Levari facias 1 or fieri facias: Coke 3. part 12. A. Herberts Case.
And this only within the year, for if the year passed he was put to his action of debt.
If the Process were not continued, 33 Hen. 6. 49. pl. 33.
2 Per Westm. 2. cap. 45. Scire facias is given after the year.

But 5 Edw. 3. 159. pl. 22. this is not good▪ but shall say generally, that he never was his Receiver.
If one testifie his receipt by deed he cannot plead that he never was his receiver. 10 Edw▪ 3. 383. pl. 18.
Defendant pleads that he is executor of B. and that he received the money as a debt of B. [Page 33] this not good, because the Plantiff supposeth him his receiver; but ought to say, without that, that he received it as the money of the Plaintiff, 11 Hen. 4. 79. pl. 20. 13 Hen. 4. pl. 1.
Note if the Receit be by the hands of the Plaintiff the Defendant may wage his law, 7 Edw. 3. 269 pl. 52.
So upon the delivery of the wife of the Plaintiff, 13 Hen. 4. 8. 43 Edw. 3. 33. pl. 31.
But upon a Receit by other hands he cannot, 9 Eliz. Dyer 265. pl. 2. 22 Hen. 6. 39. pl. 10. 5 Edw. 3. 159. pl. 22. 33 Hen. 6. 8. B. Moyle. because the Receit lyes in notice of the Country.

Expenses. Expences reasonable shall be allowed to a Factor, 3 Edw. 3, 56. pl. 30.

Vendee. Vendee takes an obligation in the name of the Plaintiff, a good plea, 28 Hen. 8. Dyer 29, pl. 193.

A good plea to the Writ that he was Guardian in Soccage, 18. Edw. 4. 3. pl. 17.
The Writ shall be alwayes general, and if the cause be special it shall be in the County, Nat. br. 118. F.
The Defendant pleads the Receit by deed, and demands judgement of the Writ without shewing it, this is no plea to the Writ; because the Receit and not the dead is the cause of [Page 36] Action, 1 Hen. 6. 8. 28 Hen. 8. Dyer 20. pl. 121. But the 9 Edw. 4. 50. B. per Choke contra. 2 Hen. 6. 9. quaere.
No plea to the Writ if they do not agree with the Plaintiff concerning the manner of the Receit, 4 Hen. 6. 12. pl. 4.

Bar by a Receiver. 1. to an Action of Account. 2. before Auditors.
Bought. The Defendant pleads, he bought the goods of the Plaintiff, and he brought this Action for them, a good Bar, 14 Hen. 4. 19. Pl. 21.
Accord. The Defendant pleads, that it was agreed that he should be bound to the Plaintiff for the principal and use, the which he did, this is a good Bar, 22 Hen. 6. 55. Pl. 32. for this drowns the contract: otherwayes he ought to plead this before Auditors.
So if the Plaintiff grant, that if the Defendant pay 20 l. will withdraw his Action, a good Bar: [Page 38] because by way of Accord, 7 Edw. 3 325. Pl. 11. 18 Edw. 3. 39. Pl. 35.
No plea that he put it in a bag, and that the Plaintif agreed that he should keep it in liew of a debt; because the Receit for account-render is confessed, 28 Hen. 6. 7. Pl. 9.

That he accounted to the Plaintiff from three moneths to three moneths a good Bar, 39 Edw. 3. 5. Pl. 22.

As to 20 s. received 1o Jun. fully accounted for, and to the receit afterward or before that he never was Receiver, 27 Hen. 6. 1. Pl. 8.
[Page 39] A good Bar quod 21. Jannarii Anno, &c. to D. in the County of W. he fully accounted with the Plaintiff, Lib. Intr. 20. B. Sect. 8, 9, 10. 11. Before the Writ he did account with the Plaintiff, a good Bar, 4 Hen. 6. 43. pl. 4.
But he ought to account to the Plaintiff before he is imprisoned, or else no Bar, 22 Edw. 3. 3. pl. 32. 7 Hen. 4. 14. 34 Hen. 6. 44. pl. 4.
For the Plaintiff cannot commit him to prison, for Westm. 2. cap. 11. gives this only to Auditors, 45 Edw. 3. 14. pl. 13.
Account brought by Executors a good Bar, that they did account to the Testator and shew his acquittances, 1 Edw. 3. 2. pl. 10.
Defendant pleads award by Arbitrators that he redeliver the goods, this is nought; but if he had been charged only with the safety of them, then good, 2 Hen. 5. 2. pl. 6.

Execution against a Receiver, 1. per Common Law. 2. per Statute Law.
1. By the Common Law it was but a Levari facias, or Fieri facias, Coke 3. part. 12. A. Harberts case.

Unlesse the Processe be continued, 33 Hen. 6. 49. pl. 33.
2. Per Westm. 2. cap. 45. a Scire facias is giv en after the year, Coke 3. part. 12. A.

3. He may alleadg seisin in the Procurator, Nat. br. 33. J. 17 Edw. 3. 60. et 75.
He that alleadges presentation, ought to shew that the Presentee was instituted, although that it was against a common Person. But against the King he ought to shew that he was inducted, Com. 528. Bickleys case. Coke 6. part. 49. Boswels case.

But the Issue in Tayl ought to alledge presentment in the Donor, because he derives his title from him, Com. Mauxels case, fol. 4. B.
Presentation in him by which he claims. If it be alleadged in the Donor or Donee, Lessor or Lessee it is not double, because the presentment of the Lessor or Donor is onely traverseable, Coke 5. part 98. A. Northumberlands case.
For the Lessee ought to alleadge it in the Lessor, Coke 5. part 98. A.
Yet Presentation by him is good, 8 Hen. 25. 4.
But in the Judgement of the Law, this is the Presentation of the Lessor, Coke 5. part 89.

He that brings a Quare Impedit, ought to shew, specially although the Church become void, 5. Edw. 4. 72. B. for he may be removed out of the possession, by Spoliatious Disseisin, or be outed otherwayes, yet the Church is full.
The Process in a Quare Impedit, 1. before appearance, 2. after.
Vide Lib. intra, 52. B. Sect. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. At the Common-Law it was but a [Page 259] Distress infinite, 11 Hen. 6. 3. Martin.
But per Marlebridge, cap. 12. if he appears not at the Grand Distress, a Writ shall Issue to the Bishop, 24 Edw. 3. 37. 5 Edw. 4. 115. 7 Eliz. Dyer 241. pl. 48. 7 Eliz. Dyer 241. pl. 1. Nat. br. 38. N.
The same Law in a Scire Facias by the King upon A Judgement in a quare Impedit, 14 Edw. 3. Quare Impedit. 5.
So if the Shrieve return a Nihil upon the Grand distress, 12 Hen. 4. 4. Hankeford, 21 Hen. 6. 56. pl. 13. 11 Hen. 6. 3. pl. 8. because the proces is determined, vide 27 Hen. 6. 5. pl. 32.
And this is for the mischief of the Lapse, 24 Edw. 3. 37.
But if a Nihil be returned upon the summons Attachment and distress, quaere, 11 Hen. 6. 3. a Writ to the Bishop 4. yet the better opinion there is that a Writ shall Issue to the Bishop.
And if a Quare Impedit be against two, one appears at the Grande▪ Distress the other makes Default, a Writ shall Issue to the Bishop pro querente against him that made Default, Nat. br. 39. B. 14 Hen. 7. 19.

T. brought an Assize of Darrein Presentment against P. and the Assize was taken by his default, and when the Assize was sworn, T. withdrawed himself, yet P. shall have a Writ to the Bishop, although he was not in Court, 9 Edw. 3. Darrein Presentment, 17.

But if the title of one be found, and another present, and request is made to admit the Clerk, for which it was found, it is not Litigious, 22 Hen. 6. 28. Br. of Quare Impedit, 80.
If two Joynt-tenants, or Tenants in common present severally it is not Litigious, Doct. & Student, 116. A.

2. It ought to be brought in the County where the refusal was, because he shall recover nothing but damages, Vet. Nat. 25. B. Nat. 47. F. Coke 7. part. 3. A Bulwers case. 38 Hen. 6. 14. & 15. 39 Edw. 3. 2. pl. 5. 29 Hen. 8. Dyer. 40. pl. 69.
The Count.
The writ was against the Bishop, and counted, although the Vicar general refused, and yet good, 13 Edw. 3. Quare non admisit 4. Vet. Nat. br. 26. A.
The King counted not upon what original or what title he recovered, and yet good, 20 Edw. 3. Quare non admisit 10.
The Bar.
That he admitted him, and made Letters to the Arch-Deacon, to induct him a good barre, 38 Hen. 6. 14. Nat. br. 47. H.
The Bishop collates by Lapse, a good barre, Nat. br. 47. M.
Or that it was litigious by the presentment of a stranger, 9 Edw. 3. Quare non admisit, 12. 34 Hen. 6. Quare Impedit 89. 34 Hen. 6. 41. pl. 10.
[Page 283] But A. and B. contend by which the Bishop Collates by Lapse, and after the King recovers in a Quare Impedit, this is no bar in a Quare non Admisit, brought by the King, 23 Edw. 3. 22. Quare non admisit. 11.
Excommunication cannot be pleaded in the Plaintiff, because the Writ supposeth a contempt that the Plaintiff hath presented his Clerk in the Writ named after Judgement; But a good plea that the Incumbent did not make request after Judgement, 21 Hen. 7. 71. pl. 14. Crook.
No such Record a good Plea, Coke 8. part Dreuries Case.
A good Bar that the Church was full before the Recovery of one not named in the Recovery, Nat. 47. K.
The Bishop returned that it is seised into the hands of the King, by reason of Ward and so full of the Kings presentment, this is good, 9 Eliz. Dyer 260. pl. 21. tamen Coke 6. part 52. A. Boswels case, è contra.
The Judgement.
The Judgement is, but to have damages, Nat. br. 47. G.
Quare Incumbravit.
In what Court it shall be brought.
It is a Writ Original, and therefore it ought to Issue out of the Chancery, Nat. br. 48. G.
But it shall be brought in Com. Ban. because it is a Common plea. Vet. Nat. br. 26. B.
[Page 284] And although the Record be removed, Nat. br. 48. F. because it is an Original Writ per Shard 17 Edw. 3. 55. A.
But the King may bring this in Ban. Regis although the Record be in Com. Ban. But a Common-person shall not, Nat. br. 48. F. 17 Edu. 3. 50. pl. 21.
What person shall have it.
The Plaintiff or Defendant in a Quare Impedit or Darrein presentment that Recovers.
Against whom it Lyes.
It lyes against the Bishop, Vet. Nat. Br. A.
In what Cases this Lyes not.
It lyes not in right of Advowson, Nat. br. 48. Q.
It lies not unless a Ne Admittas be first directed to the Bishop a Quare Impedit depending, Vet. Nat. br. 26. B. Nat. br. 48. H.
Yet it was maintained although no other Writ was first attained, Vet. Nat. br. 27. A.
It lies not unless the party hath recovered before by Judgement of the Court, Nat. br. 48. E. 17. Edw. [...]. 50. pl. 21.
The Incumbring by his Collation ought to be alledged to be within [...] months. Nat. br. 48. L.
The Writ.
And if he admit the Clerk of the other person after the six moneths, which was presented before the Action, the Writ lyes, Nat. br. 48. L.
The Writ is Original and Issueth out of the Chancery only. Nat. br. 48. G. 17 Edw. 3. 74. B. Vide the Writ Nat. br. 48. O. Regist. Orig. 32. A.
It ought to be brought in the County where the Church is, because the Clerk of the Bishop shall by this be removed, and the Clerk of the other admitted, Coke 7. part 3. A. Bulwers case, Nat. br. 48. D. 38 Hen. [...]. 14. pl. 32.
It ought to make mention of the Recovery, Nat. br. 48. K. Regist. Orig. 32. B. But 18 Ed. 3. 17. by Wilby he ought not to mention.
The Writ needs not mention before what Justices the Recovery was and yet good, 18 Edw. 3. 17. pl. 19. 17 Edw. 3. 74. pl. 109. The Writ, 1. It needs not mention where the Court was when the Recovery, because it is an Original Writ. 2. Nor that the Bishop Incumbred it within the six moneths, for it shall be intended. 3. It is good although it bore Date within the six moneths, for it shall be maintained after the recovery, and the party shall have it. 4. It lyes in Com. Ban. although that the Record be removed, because it is an Original.
The Count.
The Count ought to mention the Recovery, Nat. br. 48. K.
It needs not to recite all the Record of the Recovery, although that it was recovered by Darrein presentment, 17 Edw. 3. 55. pl. 34.
The Count mentions that the Bishop did Incumber (the Writ depending) concerning the Church yet good, 17 Edw. 3. 74. pl. 109.
If one Writ be abated the Plaintiff in another Writ may vary from the Count, Nat. br. 48. M.
The Process.
It is Summons, Attachment and Distress, vet. Nat. br. 26. B.
The Barre.
The Church was Litigious, and that he did Collate by Lapse, 34 Hen. 6. 38. Quare Impedit, 89. A good bar.
No such Record, a good Bar. vet. Nat. br. 26. B.
Error brought and the Record removed, in Ban. Regis. no bar. vet. Nat. br. 26. B.
Did not Incumber after the prohibition to him delivered a good bar. Nat. br. 48. M.
The Judgement.
Is to have his presentment and his Dammages, Nat. br. 48. H. 38 Hen. 6. 14. Coke 7. part. 3. A. Bulwers case, 21 Edw. 3. 3. pl. 7.
If the Plaintiff be Non-suted, yet it is not to him peremptory, Nat. br. 48. M.
Replevin.
In what Court it lyes.
In the County Court by plaint, per Marlebridge, cap. 21.
And this may be before the day of the Count, 9 Edw. 4. 48. 21 Edw. 4. 66. pl. 46.
But by the Common Law the Shrieve cannot make a Replevin without a Writ, 8 Eliz. Dyer. 246. pl. 67.
In the 5. Ports, Regist. Orig. 79. A. Nat. br. 67. A.
In a court Baron by plaint, but this ought to be entred Sedente Curia. 21 Edw. 4. 66. pl. 46.
In Ban. Regis. or Com. Ban.
But Antient Demean is a good plea to out the Court, because the reality may come in debate, Coke 5. part 105. Aldens case, vid. 2 Ed. 3. 32. pl. 10. 17 Ed. 3. 52. pl. 28. & fol. 75. 40 Ed. 3. 4. pl. 9. 29 Ed. 3. 9. pl. 29. 4 Ed. 3. 123. pl. 34.

But error in process or default of Clarks ought to be redressed in the same Term; or otherwise it lyes not in the same Court as it seems by the Justices, Trin. 7 Jac. Ban. Regis, Prowse & Skeynner.
But one case was Mich. 41 & 42 Eliz. Rot. 639. which is a rule that error lyes in another Term upon Error in Proces, when the party cannot have error in the Chequer Chamber.

And by usage in the same County, nine Countyes shall be held one year, and eight another year, &c. Regist. orig. 17▪ A.
The usage is to have a Writ out of the Chancery retornable in Ban. Regis, for Writs of Error are excepted in Charters granted at Chester.
And in this Error there the Justices may award a Scire facias against the Defendant, returnable at the next County, and if the judgement be affirmed the party may have a Special Writ of Error, reciting the former Writ, and have the Records and Process of both judgements removed in Ban. Regis, there to be examined, and a Scire facias awarded against the Tertenant, for otherwise the party shall not be restored to that which he lost, 15 Eliz. Dyer 321. pl. 20. 21 Hen. 7. 34. pl. 32. Fineux, 34 Hen. 6. 42. 6 Hen. 4. 8. pl. 36. Lib. intra. 290. B. sect. 1. Chester.
And by 18 Eliz. Dyer 345. pl. 6▪ if the judgement be reversed the party shall be restored▪ and the Judges there forfeit to the King 100 l. although the judgement was given by their Predecessors.
But then it is not intended of Error in deed, but only of Error within the Record or Process, No. Lib. intra. [...] A. sect. 2.

In Replevin. Replevin, the Defendant prescribes to have all the Pasture of such a place in in W. except Common for the Inhabitants of D. and the prescription being traversed, the Jury was of the Visne of W. only, and this was a good rule in Error, because the exception to the Inhabitants of D. was voyd, therefore this was not in issue, Trin. 11 Iac.

Mich. 9 Iac. Ban. Regis, Brocke versus Spencer. Condition to pay mony.
Hill. 9 Jac. Ban. Regis, Savil & Cavendish Condition to pay mony in the Church Porch of the Parish of H. and pleads performance, the Visne was of H. and yet good, for as it seems the Village and Parish shall be intended all one, and the Parish shall not be intended to comprehend more Villages.
Obligatition. Debt upon an Obligation, and shews the breaking of the Condition, because a stranger recovered the Land at Westminster upon a good Title, where the Land lyes in Com. Berks, the Defendant said that it was by Covyn, without this, that it was a good Title, [Page 396] the Plaintiff said that it was upon a good title, the Visne shal be of the County of Berks where the issue is joyned upon the good, Title, and where the Land lyes: but contrary if the issue be joyned upon the County, but it was said, if it were a personal Action it shall be where the Recovery is alleadged, Mich. 9 Iac.

Eejectment. Ejectione firmae of Land in S. & T. the Defendant pleads Feoffment of the Land by Deed at S. the Plaintiff said non feoffavit, &c. the Visne was of S. and T. and good, and the alleadging of the feoffment at S. is idle, for it cannot be but upon the Land, Mich. 9 Iac. Ban. Regis.
Debt. Debt for 20 l. Defendant pleads that at another time, the Plaintiff sued him in London in such a Parish and shews the Record certain, &c. and that he had exectution in another Parish, &c. the Plaintiff said that it was in debt for another 20 l. for the which execution was awarded absque hoc that the plaint and the execution was for the same 20 l. yet the Visne shall be in both parishes, because the issue is as well of the execution as of the plaint, 5. Edw. 4. 110.
A. vouches B. which vouches C. and after issue tryed the former Voucher dyes, this shall not be pleaded in arrest of Judgement, but it is Error, 21 Hen. 7. 80. pl. 1. Crooke, but if A. dye he shall abate the sute in facto ibidem.

Release of Errors by Tenant in Tayl, no bar to the issue, although it be tryed against [Page 398] the Tenant in Tayl, 3 Elizabethae, Dyer 188. pl. 9.
But if he in reversion in Tayl disseises Tenant in Dower, and suffers an erroneous Recovery, and Tenant in Dower releases with warranty and dyes, this is a good Bar, Coke 3. part 60. 61. Lincolne Colledge case.
A Release of one bars another, when two are to recover a personal thing, but when they are to discharge themselves it is otherwayes, Coke 6. part 25. Ruddocks case.
