The other is an obligation also of Record and of the same nature and force as the first is as to the execution thereof But it is acknowledged before the one of the chief Justices and in their absence out of Terme before the Major of the Staple at Westminster and the Recorder of London and is sealed with their Seales viz. with the Seale of the Connusor of the King and of one of the said Justices or of the Major and Recorder 23 H. 8. cap. 6. The formes of these Statutes Staple vide West 108. 109. Note that all Statutes Merchant and Staple shall be brought to the Clarke of the Recognizances within 4 Months and inrolled within six months or else such Statute shall be void against Purchasors c. 27. Eliz. cap. 4. A Statute Staple must be certified into the Chancery in the like manner as a Statute Merchant and upon that Certificate a Writ of execution shall go presently forth both against the body si laicus sit and against the lands and goods of the Connusor returneable in the Chancery in the petty-bagg Office there and not into the Court of common Pleas or Kings Bench as the Writs of Execution upon a Statute Merchant shall and upon the Writ of execution the Sheriff shall take the body of the Connusor and shall also per sacramentum proborum legalium hominum juxta verum valorem Fitz. 131 d. presently extend and price and shall seise into the Kings hands his Lands his Goods and Chattels and that extent and prizement or valuation of the Lands and goods shall returne and certifie into the Chancery as aforeraid and therupon the Reconusee shall have another Writ called a liberate to the Sheriff out of the Chancery to deliver to the Conusee those lands and goods to the value of his debt and upon that liberate delivered to the Sheriff then such lands and goods as are taken in execution shall be delivered to the Connusee by the Sheriff and not before And this execution shall be made in manner as is before declared upon a Statute Merchant 27 E 3. cap. 9. Plow 62. b. And so note that upon a statute Merchant the connusor shall bee imprisoned for halfe a yeare and if hee doth not sell his lands within the same time for to pay his debts then his lands shall be delivered to the obligee until his debt be satisfied And upon statute staple the Debitor or connusor after that hee is taken shall not have liberty to sell his lands and goods within the halfe yeare as he shall have upon Statute Merchant But by force of this statute Staple if the money be not paid at the day forthwith after certificate therof in the chancery the creditor may have Execution of the body Lands and goods of the Debitor ss the connusor shall be imprisoned and all his lands and goods shall be extended instantly 27 E. 3 cap. 9 Also note that upon Statute staple the extent shall be first made and returned and aftet a Writ of liberate shall be awarded but delivery shall not be made at the beginning untill the thing appeareth certainly by the return of the Sheriff Plow 62. b. All obligations and specialties made to the King or to his use for any cause shall bee of the same force as Statute Staple is 33 H. 8. cap 59. and so for obligations made by parsons for their first fruits 26 H. 8. cap. 39. The lands of many Accomptants to the King shal be liable and put in execution as if they had been bound in Statute Staple 13. Eliz. Cap. 4. The heir that claimeth by the gift of his Ancestor shall be bound to pay the Kings debt 33 H. 8. cap. 39. The heir in taile by the same Statute shall be liable to pay the Kings debt due by his Ancestor Plow 240. b. 249 b. 554. b. Fitz. 217. c. But if tenant in taile become in debt to the King by receipt of the Kings moneyes or otherwise unlesse that it be by judgement recognisance obligation or other specialty and dieth the land in the seisin of the issue in taile by force of the said act of 33 H. 8. shall not be extended for such debt of the King For the Statute of 33 H. 8. extendeth only to the said 4. cases and all other debts of the King remain at the common law Execution upon Statute IF Tenant in Taile become in debt to the King by one of the said 4. wayes scil by judgment recognisance obligation or other specialty and dieth and before any prosces or extent the issue in taile bona fide alien or Lease the Land intailed now this Land shall not be extended by force of the said Act of 33 H. 8. C. 7. 22. So where debt was originally due to a subject and after comes or accrues to the King by reason of attainder Out-lawry Forfeiture gift of the partie or by any other way or meane such debt is not within the said Statute of 33 H. 8. to charge lands intailed in the possession of the heir in taile Co. 7. 22. But lands in fee-simple were extendable at the common law for debt of the King into whose hands soever they should come and therefore as to them the said Statute of 33 H. 8. was not but a declaration of the ancient law Co. 7. 21. Two Joyntenants in fee the one of them being a debtor of the King dieth the other shall hold discharged Fitz. Execut. 113. The heire shall bee chargeable to pay debt of the King although he bee not named or that this word Heir be not comprised within the recognizance obligation or specialty 33 H. 8. cap 39. The King shall be preferred in his suit and execution before common persons by the Statute 9 H. 3.
