to pay his Rent it is no forfeiture The same Law is if he be much in Debt and in feare to be arrested or if one be bankrupt and keep his House and doth not come to the Lords Court but makes divers defaults these are no forfeitures of their copy-holds But if he deny to come to the Court of the Lord this is a forfeiture of his copy-hold But if the Lord claime a Fine custome or services which is in doubt whether due or not and the Tenants pray the Lord that the Homagers may inquire if it be due or not and saith if it be found by the Homagers upon their Oath that they are due or if there can be Presidents shewed that it is due he will pay it this is no forfeiture of his copy-hold If twelve are assembled against the form of this Statute then if any copy-holder being a Yeoman Handy-crafts-man Artificer Husbandman or Laborer and being of the age of eighteen yeares or more and under forty years not Impotent Lame Maimed nor having reasonable excuse and being required to serve the Queen for any the causes in the Statute and refuses he shall forfeit his copy-hold during his life 1 Marie chap. 12. If a copy-holder in Court-Baron will say to his Lord that he extorts and exacts Fines and Services not due or such unreverent words of his Lord and they be false that is finable but no forfeiture But if he deny to be Tenant to the Lord and to be a Juror of the Homage it is a forfeiture but if a copy-holder indict his Lord or gives in evidence in an action against his Lord or arrest him or commence a Suite against his Lord in any Court of the Queens these are not finable nor no forfeiture If Tenant in taile be of a copy-hold the remainder over in Fee if the Tenant in taile be attaint of Felony it seems that the Issue in taile shall have the Land and not the Lord. If a copy-holder make a Feoffment of his copy-hold and the Feoffee dies seised and his Heires levy a Fine of that and five yeares passe the Lord is barred to seise the Land by forfeiture as it seems Some Copy-holder by the custome may make waste and is no Forfeiture and waste by some Copy-holder is Forfeiture LOpping of Trees by a copy-holder is no forfeiture but a copy-holder cannot lop Trees and burn that in the house upon other Land or Mannor nor sell the lops unlesse by the custome he may make wast If a Guardian in Socage of a copy-hold make waste the Infant shall not forfeit his copy-hold but only the Interest of the Wardship but inquire If Lessee for yeares of a Copy-hold make wast and inquire when he is Lessee for yeares by surrender and when he is Lessee by the license of the Lord it is said it is a forfeiture but during the Tearm J. S. Seised in fee of an Acre in D. by Charter and of another by copy and make a Feoffment and Livery in the Acre by Charter in name of them both it is no forfeiture of the Acre by copy but if he make Livery in the Acre by copy in name of both the Acre by Charter passes and it is forfeiture of the Acre by copy If a copy-holder suffer a common recovery against him at the common Law and after surrenders to the use of another which is admitted and after one or two admittances passe upon surrender yet after when the Lords takes notice of the forfeiture he may well seise it for that forfeiture for that that the copy-hold was destroyed by the forfeiture But otherwise it seems if the forfeiture do not destroy the Copy-hold as if he make wast or break any custome the Lord is barred by this admittance as it seems If a copy-holder levy a Fine and five yeares passe after Proclamation this seems barres the copy-holder and his Heires but it seems doth not barr the Lord but if a copy-holder make a Feoffment and Livery of his copy-hold and after levy a Fine and six yeares passe now the Lord is barred If two Joynt Tenants by copy are and one makes wast in all the Land yet he shall forfeit but one part If the Heire of a copy-holder having notice of the death of his Ancestor do not claime within the yeare and day after the death of the Ancestor and Proclamation made he shall loose it for ever but otherwise it is if he be beyond Sea or within age or a Woman having a Husband it seems she shall not loose by not claiming Tenant for life of a Mannor is and copy-holder of that commits wast and the Tenant for life dyes he in remainder may seise the Land for this wast for that it is a forfeiture which runs with the Land See before forfeiture touched in the Title of copy-holder Formedon In so much that plaints are sued in nature of Formedon for Copy-holds something shall be said touching Formedon and first let us see where a Formedon lies and where not and for that that there are three manner of Formedons that is Formed on in Discender Remainder and Reverter in Fitzh Nat.
