and Yelverton And a prohibition was granted Holmes against Chime before PResidents were shewn that such actions were brought scil Hill 3. Car. Elwin against Atkins and Hill 1. Car. Cophin against Cophin both in this Court. And Richardson said although the book makes a doubt of it yet his opinion was that the action would lie For it would be a miserable thing that all things should be shewed precisely And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Port against Yates IN a replevin the case was The Defendant was known as Bayliff to Thomas Kett and the land was Copyhold land And 10 Maii. 3 Car. When it was granted by the Lord of the Mannor to the wife of Thomas Kett. The Plaintiff confesses that the Land is Copyhold land but that the Lord granted 1 Iacob to Robert Salter in Fée who had two daughters the wife of the Plaintiff and the wife of Thomas Kett and dyed seised and that the land descended to them upon which they demurred Berkely The first grant shews that the Defendant was in of all and the descent to the wife but for the moyety whereupon the grant of the whole is not traversed nor confessed and avoided And he cited Dyer 171. Pl. 8. to be the same case in effect and so ruled But Hutton Harvey and Crooke held what difference there was betwéen this case and the case in question Hutton the descent here which is pleaded makes the second grant void But by Richardson although that it be avoided Yet it is not confessed And afterwards for that that upon the whole truth of the matter disclosed It appears that a Copartener cannot distrein the lands of another damage feasant and the matter of form in pleading ought not to be regarded by the Iudges upon the Statute of 21 Eliz. cap. 5. Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Cockett against Delayhay COcket brought an action upon the case in Bristow against Delahay for these words Cockett hath forged a deed and because of that came out of his own Country And the Defendant justifies that he did forge a Déed in Middlesex of lands in Hartfordshire without that that he spoke in Bristowe Richardson said that that plea was naught either with traverse or without the Traverse Whereupon Henden altered his plea scil That he forged a déed of those lands at South Mimms in Middlesex where the lands lie By vertue of which he justified the words at Bristowe Richardson It is a good plea for now the other can plead nothing but de injuria sua propria And then the tryal shall be in Middlesex And by Crooke if there be a Demurrer there shall be a writ of inquiry of damages issue to Bristowe Issue IF the issue be not made up it may be tryed by Proviso But if the Plaintiff neglect that there may be called a non-sute upon the roll for there it shall be discontinued quod nota Page against Tayler PAge brought an Action against Tayler as Receiver c. which was found against him c. And Iudgement was given that he accounted and before the Auditors he pleaded that before the Action brought there was an arbirement that he should pay to the Plaintiff 11 l. in satisfaction of all accounts and demands which he had performed And it was ruled by the whole Court that that was not a good plea in discharge before Auditors but a plea in bar of the account And by Crooke an accord with satisfaction may be pleaded in Bar not in discharge Which the Court seemed to agree And by Crooke If the Defendant had any other matter to shew on the Declaration before Auditors it might be shewn c. Richardson Although that the Arbitrament was made after the action brought it cannot now be pleaded but he ought to have his Andita querela Manninghams case In Manninghams case The doubt was this A condition of an obligation made to Manningham was that he should pay after his death to his Executors after his death 10 l. per annum to the use of the Children of Manningham And Manningham dyed and there was no Executor whether the payment should be to the Administrator and so the obligation forfeited Berkly said that it ought to be payed to the Administrator for an Executor includes an Administrator And this money is as assets if not to satisfie debts yet to perform this case which is illsgal 5 H. 7. 12. 26 H. 8. 7. And also if a man limit a thing to be done to his Executors that may be done to his Administrators So that the nominating of the Executor is not but an expresse intention to whom the money shall be paid viz. to him who presents his person And he compares that to the case of 46. E. 3. 18. A rent upon a condition reserved to the Executors goes to the Administrators 15 E. 4. 14. Dy. 309. Cranmers case Where it seemed that if a lease be made to one for life and after to his Executors for years that the Executors shall not have the term as assets 32. E. 3. A quid juris clamat Fitzharb A Lease for life to his Executors for years in remainder Lessee for life atturns saving the term which proves that the Executor had that as privy not as strangers And he cited Chapmans and Daltons case the principall So that the Infant and the Executors shall have the money in right of the testator and therefore it goes to the Administrator Secondly The Executor extends to an administrator 8. rep 135. there kindes of Executors and an Administrator is an Excecutor datinus 3 H. 6. An action is brought against divers executors by the Statute when some appears upon the distresse it answers that extends to an Administrator although the Statute names only Executors Thirdly It does not appear here that Manningham made not Executors for it may be that he made Executors and that they dyed intestate or before probate And he cited 18. H. 8. And Shelleyes case 1. rep and 33. Eliz. If Executors dye before probate It is in Law a dying intestate Richardson Here is but meer trust and as it hath been said It doth not appear whether he had made Executors or not For if he dye and makes Executors and they dye before probate or refuse he dyes ab intestato but not intestate Nor shall it be questioned if the obligation had been to pay to Manningham only or to him and his Executors But it goes to the administrators But because that he had specially put his Executor Whether he ought to have the forfeiture of the obligation or whether he ought to have the sum to be annually payed to the Administrator Berkley the letters of administration make mention that he dyed ab intestaro Atthow That is matter de hors but by the declaration it is clear that he dyed intestate And the action brought by Administrator who who had not any cause of action Secondly admitt that there was an Executor and the money payed to him that
is not assets For it is not the money of Manningham but taken by him to pay to another And Richardson said If the party had dyed intestate by the Common law the Administrator is Executor and all things that were to be performed by the Executor are to be performed by the Administrator There was an obligation to A. to pay to the Executors of B. It shall be more doubted there whether it shall be payed to the Administrator But the obligation here is to Manningham himself Now his Executors comprehend Administrators And Needhams case is plain in that And the mention was that the money shall be payed to these that succeed him in his personal Estate Now it was not the intent that it should be lost if he dyed without Executors Crook an action of debt being brought against an Executor upon an obligation plene administravit is pleaded Then Administrator being included in the word Executor there is a good cause of Action And the Court seemed to be of the same opinion Sed adjournatur Fowlers Case FOwler libels for tithes and a Prohibition was prayed upon a suggestion that he came to the Church by Symony By the Court a Prohibition ought to be granted upon a surmise only that he came to the Church by Symony Then Henden shewed That it was found by verdict in the Kings Bench That he came in by Symony And upon that verdict there was a decree in the Court of Wards accordingly And then the Court inclined to grant a Prohibition And the Case here was That Fowler being convicted of Symony the King presents Glapthorn who was admitted instituted and inducted And afterwards he takes another benefice above the value of 8 l. by which the other was void Yet by the assent of the Lord Windsor Patron Fowler continued possession And by Richardson He cannot be any way removed untill laps incurre Strange against Atthowe SIr Hamond Strange brought trespass against Christopher Atthowe And the trespass was done 8 years after but with a continuando unto the time limited by the Statute 21 Iac. And by Richardson the action is toll'd by the Statute For the continuation within the time makes the Trespass within the time And it is not like the Case in Dyer 119 pl. 17. In the turning of a Cock It was adjudged a new diversion for it was a new action But here is not a new act done Richardson the Statute of 21 Iac. may be well pleaded in this discharge of that action And you ought to commence for all not done after the time of the limitation within the Statute otherwise the Statute should be overthrowed For by that means the continando may punish a trespass done 20 years past with the alleging of a continuando Hutton Crook of the same opinion Yelverton on the contrary who said that it was not material if the Statute was overthrown But the other Iustices said it was a good Statute Crook Suppose that you cannot prove your continuando for in trespass it is not requisite indéed to prove it For it is only put for increase of damages But Hitcham said Now by the Statute the continuando shall be proved Then by Richardson Hutton and Crook You will make a fraction That the trespass shall be partly upon the Statute and partly upon the Common law It was ruled again according to that before That when a Will was proved in the Prerogative Court The Executor or Administrator may be cited out of â—…e Diocess where he lives to the Prerogative Court Because that the Will cannot be executed a libi than where it was proved And so that is out of the Statute of 23 H. 8. But by Richardson Hutton and Yelverton Where a Will is proved in the Prerogative Court That it shall be proved in the proper Diocess also of the Executor then it may be executed there Richardson said The privilege for them of the upper House continued 30 daies after the Session where the Parliament of the lower House but for 20 daies And that the privilege extended to Person Goods and Lands Nortons Case Mich. 4. Car. Com. Banc. IN Nortons Case before A Consultation was granted because of a Custome alleged and found for the party But by Crook and Yelverton There are divers Presidents where in that Case a Prohibition was granted without alleging a Custome Allen against Westby before IT was ruled That the Defendant shall not have costs against the Informer they being found against the Informer And Brownlow affirmed that the course of the Court is That upon the Statute the Defendant shall never have costs against the Informer Although Binge cited a President to the contrary Termino St. Mich. Anno 4 Car. Reg. Com. Banc. Gosse against Skipton IN the Court of Requests Gosse borrowed mony of the Testator of Skipton and gave a term whereof he was possessed for five years to him for security by Indenture with a Proviso of redemption And shews further in his Bill that there was a verbal Agréement between them That if the mony was not paid at the day the Testator should take the profits growing upon the Land And if the profits amounted to the value of the sum of mony that then he shall have his term a-again And that he reaped the profits accordingly which well satisfied him and yet he continued possession of the term Which afterwards came to Skipton and is now expired And so he prayed that the Defendant might account for the profits And the Defendant moved for a Prohibition Richardson Although the trust is contrary to the Indenture yet such an averment is good notwithstanding the Proviso But for that that the Executor shall account to none but the King and the years are now spent And although he occupied the same yet the profits shall be Assets And if it shal be received in the Court of Equity there shall be a Devastavit against the Executor And by the whole Court a Prohibition was granted Rolls against How A Man arrested upon a Latitat makes an Obligation to the Sheriff with a Condition to appear And the Question was if it be good For he may make his appearance by his Attorny Although Hutton thought it was not good For the Law intends that he is in person when he is in custodia Marescall And Brownlow said it was adjudged accordingly when Mr. Tomkins Bayliff of the liberty of St. Andrew took an Obligation in his own name for a personal appearance upon a Latitat At an other day Atthowe moved that the Bond was void For the Statute is general that he shall take a Bond for his appearance And now the Sheriff here had taken a Bond for his personal appearance And there he might answer to the Action by his Attorney But that he ought alwaies to be in custodia Marescal which is meant in proper person and he ought to put in bayl which is good enough It was ruled that Iudgement should be entred for the Plaintiff if cause
Sergeant Henden moved for a Prohibition for that that their Instructions are Whereas there be divers Books News and Tales spread abroad and Libells made by which the Subjects are abused and the Peace may be broken you shall proceed against such Persons till the Authors be found out and they be punished by fines imprisonments papers set on their breasts and the like And he said that those words are not accomtable at Common-law and therfore are not as they seem within their Instructions But admit that yet they have not power to give dammages to the Party Richardson said In the Star-Chamber libellous Letters that are spitefull and scandalous to defame any although that they bear not an Action at Common-law yet they are punishable there and also they give dammages to the Party wronged But there is difference betwéen the Star-Chamber and that c. Henden said that Magna Charta makes the difference Quod nullus liber homo capietur aut imprisonetur nisi secundum legem terrae So by the Common Law and their instructions they have not power to give damages to the party Richardson chief Iustice said that no prohibition should be granted for the Fine of the King for they have power in that Case without question and to the punishing in that matter And if they err in Iudgement for the Libellious Letter and adjudge it to be Libellious where it is not We cannot award a prohibition nor grant error But for the damages that Court differs from the Star-chamber for the Star-chamber had its power by its self and differs from the Common Law But that Court is by Commission and therefore they ought to follow their Instructions And therefore a prohibition as to the damages shall be granted And Yelverton also was of the same opinion but he said there was another clause in their Instructions And for that a prohibition as to the damages shall be granted Hutton and Harvey said That if the sute was by information than it is clear that damages cannot be given But it is by Bill so in nature of an Action as I conceive which concludes that they were damnified But it is now brought too late to grant a prohibition where the parties have admitted the action But a day was given to shew cause why a prohibition should not be granted quoad the damages And so they concluded for that time Note that it was said by the Court That if money be lent upon Interest and the Scrivener who makes the Obligation reserves more then 8. l. in the 100. l. That that is not an usurious Contract See the cause c. Eaton and Morrisâ—s Case EAton and Morris being reputed Churchwardens but they never took any Oath as the Office requires present a Feme Covert upon a Common report for Adultery c. And the husband and wife Libel against them in the Ecclesiastical Court for that defamation And when sentence was taken and ready to be given for them the Churchwardens appeal to the Arches and for that that that presentment cannot be proved but by one witness they sentenced the Baron and Feme And now Ward who that term was made a Serjeant by a special call moved for a prohibition but it was denied by the Court for they were Plaintiffs first And also it is a cause which this Court had not any Conusance of Marshes Case before MOre of Marshes Case which is before Richardson Hutton Harvey and Yelverton said That the consideration also is good For although that it be not expressed that the Plaintiff himself shewed the accounts yet it appears fully that they were upon the request of the wife viewed And it shall be intended by Common presumption that the Plaintiff himself shewed them for he had the custody of them and is owner of them And the Books of Merchants are their secrets and treasure and they will not shew them by their good will Now it is not like to the case of an Obligation for there the certainty of the debt was before and he was compellable to shew it But the certainty here cannot appear without great search and labour and there can be no compassion to shew their Books And by Hutton Iustice There is no question but if the promise had been made after the Sute commenced it haâ—… been good No question by Richardson and it is agreed by all That if the Defendent had required the Books to be brought to his house or to another place it should have been good And there is not any difference although the Books were shewen in the shop by the servant for he permitted his Books to be viewed c. And Yelverton said that Beechers Case and Banes Case is more infirm than this Case is And yet adjudged there to be good And so it was awarded that Iudgement should be entred for the Plaintiff Si non c. Of a Communication of Marriage A Communication between I.S. and A. was of the Marriage of I S. being possessed of a term for years and of certain goods promised to A. that if she would be married to him and they had issue a son that he should have the term If a Female that she should have the moyetie of the goods And after they intermarry and have issue B. a daughter The husband dies and B. brings an action upon the Case against the Administrator of I.S. By the Court she cannot bring the action unless as Administratrix of A. or in the name of A. And the Case of Stafford was recited Where there was a Communication between Stafford and a woman That if she would marry with him that Stafford would leave her at his death 100. l. And after the intermarriage and death of the husband in an action brought by the wife the question was whether the promise was extinguisht by the intermarriage And after grand disputes it was resolved that the intermarriage was but a suspension of the promise And so it was concluded Kitton against Walters KItton brought debt upon the Statute of 5. Eliz. cap. 9. for Perjury against Walters for an Action of Trespass for Battery was brought against him by I. S. and he pleaded not guilty and that the Defendant was brought as a witness And that he falsely and corruptedly deposed and did not speak voluntarily that the Plaintiff in the Trespass was wounded and beaten c. And that he could not labour for half a year c. And upon the general issue pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff and Hendon moved to have Iudgement But it was objected that the party grieved shall not have that Action for that he did not say voluntarie deposuit c. For although that he falsly deposed wherein voluntary is not but a conclusion and voluntas ought to be in the premisses and corruptive does not include that and so was the opinion of the whole Court And it was awarded that the Plaintiff nil capiat per breve A servant of a Bayliffs Case IT was awarded
it shall be lawfull to the Lessor to reenter without any demand of the Rent The Rent is in arrear by 40 daies after the Feast of Saint Michael and no demand of the Rent made by the Lessor Whereupon the Lessor entred If that Entry were lawfull was the Question And by Hutton it is not For a demand of the Rent is given by the Common law between Lessor and Lessée And notwithstanding the words without any demand it remains as it was before And is not altered by them But if the Rent had béen reserved payable at another place than upon the Land There the Lessor may enter without any demand But where no place is limitted but upon the Land otherwise it is Richardson to the contrary For when he had covenanted that he might enter without any demand The Lessée had dispensed with the Common law by his own Covenant As the Lessor might by his Covenant when he makes a Lease Sans impeachment dl waste He had dispenced with the Common law which gives the Action of Waste Harvey of the same opinion If a Man leases Lands for years with a Clause That if the Rent be in Arrear by forty daies after the day of payment That the term shall cease If the Rent be in arrear by the said forty daies after the day of payment The Lessor may enter without request Conyers's Case ONe Thompson makes a Lease for forty years to Conyers by Indenture and in the same Indenture covenants and grants to the Lessee That he shall take convenient House-boot Fire-boot and Cart-boot in toto bosco suo vocato S. wood within the Parish of S. And those Woods are not parcel of the Land leased but other Lands Atthow I would fain know your opinion if that Grant of Estovers out of an other place than was the Lease be good Also what Estate the Grantée of House-boot and Fire-boot shall have by that For the words are from time to time and hath limited no time in certain And lastly If the Lessée be excluded to have House-boot and Fire-boot in the Land leased or if he shall have in both places Also if the Executors by that Grant to the Lessee shall have House-boot and Fire boot And it was agreed by Hutton and Harvey That that Grant was good and that the Grantee shall have it during the Term. And that that grant does not restrain him But that he shall have house-boot and fire-boot in the land leased also Atthowe If there be no great Timber upon the land leased and the houses are in decay if the Lessor ought to find and allow to the Lessée sufficient Timber for the making the reparations or if the Lessée at his own costs ought to find the Timber for the reparations of the house Hutton said That the great Timber shall be at the costs of the Lessor if no Timber be upon the land leased nor no default be in the Lessee in suffering the great timber to go to decay or to putrifie And it was agréed if the Lessor cut a tree and carry it out of the Land That the Lessee may have an Action of Trespass And if Stranger cut a tree the lessee shall have an action of Trespass and recover treble dammages As the lessor should recover against him in an action of waste Wakemans Case A Man seised of a Mannor parcell demesn and parcell in service devises by his Testament to his wife during her life all the demesn lands also by the same Testament he devises to her all the services of chief Rents for 15 years And moreover by the same Testament he devises the same Mannor to another after the death of his wife And it was agreed by all the Iustices That the devise shall not take effect for no part of the Mannor as to the stranger untill after the death of the wife And that the heir after the 15 years passed during the life of the wife shall have the services and chief Rents Jenkins against Dawson IN a Formedon the Demandant makes his Conveyance in the Writ by the gift of I. S. who gave it to ◠D. er haeredibus de corp suo legitime procreat And shewes in the Writ that he was heir to the Son and heir of I. D. Son and heir of W. D. the Donee And Hitcham demanded Iudgement of the Writ for this Cause And the Court said that the Writ was not good for he ought not to make mention in the Writ of every heir as he does here But he ought to make himself heir to him who dyed last seised of the Estate Tayl as his Father or other Ancestor Also that word procreat ought not to be in the Writ but Exeuntibus But the Court thought that it might be amended And Harvey said If false Latin be in the Writ it shall be amended as if in a Formedon the Writ be Consanguineus where it should have béen Consanguineo Hutton and all the other Iustices said that that might be amended by the Statute Saulkells Case IN an Attaint the grand Iury appeared and the petit Iury and the parties also and one Rudstone Master of the Servant in the Attaint came to the Bar and there spoke in the matter as if he had been of counsell with his Servant Crawley said to him Are you a party to this Suteor for what cause do you speak at the Bar And he answered that he had done this for his Servant And if he had done any thing against the Law he knew not so much before Hutton You may if you did owe any mony to your Servant for his wages give to his Counsel so much as is behind of it and that is not maintenance Or you may go with your Servant to retein Counsel for him So that your Servant pay for his Counsel But that that you have done is apparent maintenance And the Kings Sergeant prayed That he may be awarded to the Fleet and pay a Fine And Hutton upon advise sent him to the Fleet. Wiggons against Darcy DArcy was in Execution upon a Statute Merchant and his Body and Goods were taken And the Conisee agreed that the Conisor should go at large and he went at large Atthowe moved If that were a discharge of the Execution or not And Richardson said it was For his imprisonment is for his Execution And if he release his imprisonment he releases his Execution And so if two men be in Execution for one Debt and the Plaintiff releases to one of them That is a release to both And so if one had two acres in Execution and the Plaintiff release the Execution of one of them It enures to both Harvey on the contrary opinion Yet I will agree That if a man be one time in Execution The Plaintiff shall not another time have an Execution For after a cap. ad satisfac an Elegit does not lye But in the Case where the Conisee does release the imprisonment only and not the Execution for it is

But for 4 or 5 years by parol Such an agreement is not good Richardson May a Parson bargain and sell his tithes happening 4 years after by parols Yelverton It had been so adjudged in many Cases in the Kings Bench and the difference is where it is by way of demise and where by discharge Hutton The reason why it is good for years is for that that the contract moves severally But by way of deuise between Parson and Parishioner it is not good And Weston and Biggs case where it was resolved If there was an agréement made between Parson and Parishioner for discharge for tithes for years it was good without deed otherwise if it be for life Davenport not Richardson Then for more than a year that contract is void And you cannot bargain and sell the profits of beasts which a man hath not in his possession now but for those which he hath in his possession he may sell any profits Quod concessum Intr. 4 Car. rot 670 or 870. Litman against West LItman brought an action upon the case against West for words And he declared he being an Attourney c. and colloquio habito between them concerning his office The Defendant spoke these words He is a Cozener and hath cozened me of 20 s. And Serjeant Henden objected that the words were not actionable For that that they are too general And although they had Communication of his Office As Attorny Yet when the words were general and might be applyed as well to other things as such as touch his place yet for that c. As if one says of an Attorney Thou art a Common Barrettor Is not actionable And it was adjudged where one said to a Wheeleright Thou art a Cousener and hast cousened me of a pair of Wheeles Is not actionable And Sir Wil. Fleetwoods Case One said of him He is a Cousener and hath consened me in entring the Kings Accounts So here he might cousen him of 20 s. twenty ways and not as Attorny Richardson said the words were actionable Some words spoken of some men would bear an Action although the same words spoken of another would not As the Case of an Attorny especially as the Case is laid here And he had spoken of him as an Attorny Then it ought to be taken that he was a Cousener in his profession If one said of an Attorny Thou art a Cousener and hast delivered cousening Bills c. If it had been laid here that he had been an Attorny for the Defendant It would be actionable And this Case is more strong than Birchleys Case in Coo. lib. 4. One said of Chomely Recorder of London That he could not hear but of one side of his head And that was adjudged actionable And that being spoken of an Attorney there it would bear an Action One said in the North Country That one was a Daffidowndilly and adjudged actionable Because that the word there used expresses an Ambidexter being a flower of party colour Hutton said That the action would lye In one Gardleys Case who was an Attorny One said of him he was his Attorny and he had cousened him So of a Goldsmith Thou hast consened me and sold me a Saphire for a Diamond These words are not actionable because that the Goldsmith himself might be deceived in the stone And here these words spoken of an Attorny cannot be otherwise but to disgrace him in his profession An action in the Kings Bench. Thou art a cousening Knave Coroner and adjudged actionable One said of a Lawyer He hath no more Law than an Horse an action lies for both are applyed to his profession Yelverton agreed that the Iury had found that the words were spoken of him as Attorny For they have found the words in the Kings Bench. The Case was An Inne-keeper and an other were in communication and he said to him No man comes to thy House but thou cousenest him And adjudged actionable And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Middleton against Sir Iohn Shelly MIddleton recovers in Debt against Sir Iohn Shelly and had Execution And afterwards Sir Iohn purchases the Land of the Plaintiff And long after the Execution was sued by Elegit and that land extended But before Livery by any the Plaintiff dies Yet the Sheriff returns that he delivered the Land Hutton We will not credit that he is dead But you bring a Writ of error Yelverton agreed The return of the Sheriff Richardson the return of the Sheriff does not prejudice a third person although it concludes the parties And if the Execution was made if the party brings an Ejectione firm Whatsoever the Sheriff returnes his proceedings ought to be proved legal See if the Sheriff deliver possession where the partie is dead if any thing lies It was urged to have a writ of restitution But where the Sheriff gives possession contrary to the rule of the Court.
