Will he cited Chicks case 19 Eliz. 357 and 23 Eliz. 371. Dyer At another day it was argued by Cook That both the Houses pass and the words take the profit do not restrain the general words before viz. All my Lands and Tenements but rather expounds them sci such profits that they might take of a Reversion cum acciderit for it may be that the Brother shall die within ten years And he cited the case 34 H. 6. 6. A man seised of diverse Reversion upon estates for life devises them by the name of omnium terrarum tenementorum which were in his own hands and by those parols the Reversion did pass and yet the Reversion to speak properly was not in his hands and if the Brother had died in the life of the devisor they had clearly passed and then his death or life shall not alter the case And he resembled the case to the case in 39 E. 3. 21. The King grants to the Abbot of Redding That in time of vacation the Prior and Monks shall have the disposition of all the possessions of the said Abbey ad sustentationem Prioris Monachorum 3 Cro. 290. and if in the time of vacation they shall have the Advowsons was the question for it was said That advowsons could not be to their sustentation But yet by the better opinion the grant of the King did extend to Advowsons for it shall be intended such sustentation as Advowsons might give Godfrey Our Case is not like to the case of 34. H. 6. for there the Devisor had not any thing in possession and therefore if the Reversion did not pass the devise should be utterly void Gawdy conceived that the house in possession only passed for the devise extends to such things only whereof the Profits might be taken but here is not any profit of a Reversion Clench and Wray contrary The intent of the devise was to perform the Will of his Father and also of his own Will and in case the house in possession was not sufficient to perform both the Wills all shall pass and therefore the devise by favorable construction is to be taken largely so as the Wills might be throughly performed and also the devise is general and further all his Lands and Tenements which are not restrained by the Subsequent words to take the profits for to have and to hold and to have and to take the profits is all one CCLV. Slugge and the Bishop of Landaffs Case Trin. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. SLugge libelled against the Bishop of Landaff in the Ecclesiastical Court because where he was presented by the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester to the Church of Penner the Bishop did refuse to admit him and now the Bishop sued a Prohibition and shewed Prohibition Quod non habetur talis Rectoria cum cura animarum in eadem diocesi sed perpetua vicaria And by Popham a Prohibition doth not lye but the matter ought to be determined in the Ecclesiastical Court and when he who is presented to the same Church whether it be a Church or not shall be tried in an action of trespass and the like matter was ruled Mich. 14. Eliz. betwixt Weston and Grendon who was presented by the Queen and it was holden that because institution and admission do belong to the Ecclesiastical Court and not to the Kings Court that no Prohibition should lye and therefore he prayed a Consultation And note That the Defendant in the Prohibition did not demur formally upon the suggestion for the Iudges use if the suggestion be not sufficient to maintain the Prohibition to grant a Consultation without any formal demurrer upon the Suggestion if the insufficiency of the Suggestion be manifest Trial. which was granted by the whole Court. Cook That a Consultation ought not to be granted for whether there be such a Rectory or not shall be tried here So 2 H. 4. 30. Prior or not Prior 49 E. 3. 17 18. Wife or not Wife but never accoupled in loyal matrimony by the Bishop Ante. 53. 54. 44 E. 3. So within or without the Parish 50 E. 3. 20. So 45 E. 3. Quare Impedit 138. In a Quare Impedit no such Church within the County Afterwards at another day Popham put the case Slugge was presented to the vicaridge of Penner the Bishop refused to admit him and admitted one Morgan Bletthen unto the Parsonage of Penner at the presentment of the Lord St. John Slugge sued the Bishop for contumacy per duplicem querelem The Bishop said Non habetur talis vicaria upon which matter he sued a Prohibition and he conceived That the Prohibition did not ly for a Vicar is but he that gerit vicem Personae to supply his place in his absence so as the same is a spiritual matter which ought not to be tried here Also the libel is to have Admission and Institution and the other matter ariseth by their Plea sci Quod Rectoria de Penner est Ecclesia cum cura animarum absque hoc quod habetur talis Vicaria and so it is but an incident to the principal matter wherefore it shall be tried there and he prayed a Consultation Cook We have shewed That in the time of E. 3. one L. was seised of the Manour of Penner to which the Church of Penner is appendant and we alledge presentments from the time and we convey it to the Lord St. John which now is and they would now defeat us by this surmise That there is no such Church with cure of Souls which is triable here Popham the libel doth contain nothing but contumacy in the Bishop in that he hath not admitted Slugge and the other matter comes in the Replication and afterwards by assent of the parties a Consultation was granted quoad institutionem of Slugge only but that they should not proceed further CCLVI. Fennick and Mitfords Case Pasch 31 Eliz. Rot. 154. In the Kings Bench. Mo●e 284. 2 Co. 91. THe Case was A man seised of Lands in Fee levieth a Fine to the use of his wife for life the remainder to the use of his eldest son the heirs males of his body the Remainder to the use of the right heirs of the Conusor The Conusor makes a Lease for a thousand years to B. the eldest son dieth without issue male having issue a daughter the Conusor dieth the wife afterwards dieth the eldest son enters and leaseth the Lands to the Plaintiff Atkinson That upon this conveyance a Reversion was left in the Conusor although by the fine all is conveyed out of the Conusor and so as it hath been objected the use limited to the right heirs of the Conusor is a new thing For it is to be observed When a man is seised of Lands he hath two things the Land or the Estate and secondly the use which is the profits and if he make a Feoffment without consideration by that the estate and possession passeth
CCLXXVIII Arrundel and the Bishop of Gloucesters and Chaffins Case Mich. 31 32 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. Quare Impedit SIir John Arrundel brought a Quare Impedit against the Bishop of Gloucester and Chaffin and counted upon a disturbance to present 1 Novembris Chaffin as incumbent pleaded That 1 Maii next after the said 1 Novemb. he himself was presented to the Church by the Queen the presentment to the said Church being devolved unto her by Lapse Vpon which the Plaintiff did demur in Law And the plea was holden insufficient for the Plaintiff counted upon a Disturbance to him 1 Novem. and the Defendant entitleth himself to an incumbency 1 May after in which case the disturbance set forth in the Count is not answered by traverse nor confessed nor avoided And of that opinion was the whole Court For the disturbance of which the Plaintiff hath declared is confessed And afterwards It was moved by the Queens Serjeants That the Queen might have a Writ to the Bishop Writ to the Bishop for the title of the Queen appeareth to be by Lapse which is confessed But the whole Court were clear of opinion against it For although it appeareth that he was lawfully presented to the said Church and so once lawfull Incumbent yet it appeareth also That the title of the Queen is once executed and so gon and nothing remains in the Queen and now when the Defendant hath lost his incumbency by ill pleading as he may as well as by Resignation or Deprivation yet the same shall not turn to the advantage of the Queen for where the Queen presents for laps and her Clark is instituted and inducted the Queen hath no more to do but the Incumbent must shift as well as he can for the holding of it for by what manner so ever he loseth his incumbency the Queen shall not present again otherwise it had been if the Queen be Patron and afterwards the Plaintiff had a Writ to the Bishop CCLXXIX The Lord Pagets Case in a Monstrans de Droit The Case was Mich. 31 32 Eliz. In the Exchequer Chamber More 193 194 1 Co. 154. 1 And. 259. THomas Lord Paget Father of William Paget was seised of the Mannor of Burston and divers other Mannors in three several Counties in his demesne as of fee and so seised by Indenture between the said Lord of the one part and Trentham and others on the other part and in consideration that the said Trentham and others with the profits of the said Mannors should pay his debts and such sums of money which were contained in such a Schedule and which he should appoint by his last Will covenanted to stand seised of the said Mannors to the use of the said Trentham of one Eusal c. for the term of four and twenty years and after the Expiration or end of the said Term of twenty four years unto the use of the said William Paget his Son in tail with diverse Remainders over And afterwards the said Lord Paget was attainted of high Treason It was here holden and agreed by all the Iustices and by the Council of both sides That the uses limited to Trentham and others are void for here is not any consideration sufficient to raise an use for the mony which is appointed for the payment of his debts is to be raised of the profits of the Lands of the said Lord Declaration of uses which is not any consideration on the part of Trentham and others But if the consideration had been That they with the Profits of their own Lands should pay the debts c. It had been a good Consideration It was agreed also That the term for twenty four years to Eusal is void for want of sufficient consideration And then it was moved If this Lease being void The use limited to the said William Paget Son of the said Lord Paget should being presently upon the death of the Lord Paget or should expect until the twenty four years were encurred after the death of the Lord Paget or not at all And it was argued That an use to be raised upon an impossibility should never rise as if I covenant to stand seised to the use of B. and his Heirs after the end of the term for years which I.S. hath in the Mannor of D. whereas in truth I. S. hath not any term in it the said use shall never rise so here Use cannot rise out of a possibility No use to the Son can rise for the lease for twenty four years shall never end for it never can begin for want of sufficient consideration as is aforesaid and if the said use in tail should at all rise it should not rise before the expiration of the said twenty four years As if I covenant to stand seised of certain Lands to your use when my Son and Heir shall come to the age of one and twenty years now if my Son dieth before such age The use shall not begin before the time in which my Son if he shall live should attain unto his said age Egerton the Queens Solicitor Vses may be limited to begin at times certain before which they shall not begin and so in our case the use in tail in limited to begin when the term of twenty four years is ended and therefore until the Term be ended no use shall rise and the use is limited to rise upon the end of the time or term of four twenty years and not upon the end of the estate and so William Paget hath begun his Monstrans de Droit before his time The Lord Paget had but an estate for life and if so Then the Remainders are not continggent uses but vest presently as if a man covenant That after his death his Son and Heir shall have his Lands now the Father hath but an estate for life and the inheritance is vested in the Son. Cook I covenant That after twenty four years ended I and my Heirs will stand seised to the use of my Son c. there the use in Fee doth vest in my Son presently So I covenant That after my death I and every one who shall be seised c. shall be seised of the said Land to the use of my Brother the said use shall rise to my Brother presently I devise That after the death of such a Monk I.S. shall have the Land nothing passeth to I.S. till the death of the Monk but if Land be devised to a Monk for life and afterwrds to another in Fee the Devisee in Fee shall have the Land presently Manwood A devise or use limited to one for life the Remainder in tail the first devisee doth disagree Cook the Remainder doth vest presently Manwood I devise lands unto one until my Son comes of full age Cook The remainder doth vest presently Manw. A use limited to one to begin at Mich. next the remainder over if in the mean time the Lessee obtain the
should beget on the said woman should come unto the age of 21. years and then to the use of the woman during her widow-hood They are married the Husband dieth without issue the Wife shall hold the land But by him if this use had bin raised by way of Covenant it should be otherwise Coke Admit that all the uses be good yet his meaning was That the debts and legacies being paid W. Paget should have his land for it is provided by the Indenture That when the debts legacies are paid the estate for 24. years shall cease Manwood The payment of the debts cannot end that which never was and as to the two first estates they were never out of him therefore they came unto the Q. by his attainder Coke After debts and legacies paid all other estates but the estate of W. Paget cease therefore William Paget shall have the Land. And the rule of Shelly 35 H. 8. 56 is worthy to be received scil That learning is honest wished to be used that every man learned in the Law do construe Deeds according to the meanings of the makers Manwood A Feoffment to the use of Salisbury Plain for the life of I. S. the Remainder over the same use shall come into possession presently for there is not any person capable of the particular estate but where the first use is limited to a Bastard the remainder over there the Remainder shall not come into possession presently for the Bastard is a person capable but not by such form of conveyance in consideration of natural affection Popham In the case of Bastard there was an estate for life executed to the Father in possession then a Remainder to a Bastard the Remainder to the Sons lawfully begotten but here in our Case no estate is created to precede the estate of William Paget upon which the Remainder can depend At another day It was argued by Coke It is to be agreed on both sides That the estate for four and twenty years is meerly void and also the first use limited to Trentham and others and it is not reason that the use limited to William Paget should expect until the four and twenty years be expired by effluxion of time and to that purpose he cited Cranmers Case where an estate in use was limited to Cranmer for life the Remainder to his Executors for one and twenty years the Remainder over in tail to his Son and Heir c. Cranmer is attainted of Treason and Heresy so as he could not make a Will or Executors there it is holden That the term is void because no Executors and that the Remainder in use should vest presently and should not expect until the said number of years expire by effluxion of time And difference hath been put betwixt the case of Cranmer and the Case at Bar because in Cranmers Case there was a possibility at the beginning that the Term for years might be good for the term became void by matter ex post facto sci By the attainder of him which disabled him to make Executors but in the Case at Bar the term for twenty four years was expresly void ab initio But that difference is without reason for what reason is there That the Remainder should be father off the possession when the estate for years is originally void than when it becomes void by matter ex post facto Suppose that the Lord Paget had by Indenture covenanted as above for the two first uses being in truth void in Law and afterwards by another Indenture reciting That whereas he had covenanted That in consideration That A. with the profits of his Lands should pay his debts c. to stand seised of the said Lands for his own life Now he covenants to stand seised to the use of William Paget and his Heirs should not he presently be seised to the use of William Paget and his Heirs although the words be That then and from thenceforth For I hold it a clear case that his estate begins presently being limited to begin upon a void estate althouh the limitation be by words de futuro And to this purpose he cited the case 3 E. 6. Br. Lease 62. A man leaseth for years Habendum post dimissionem inde fact to J.S. finitam where no such demise is made the same Lease shall begin presently If an Indenture be made to a Monk and another Habend to the Monk for one and twenty years and after the end of that to the other for one and twenty years the other shall have it presently And he put a Case 7 E. 3. in the new Impression 19. and in the old Impression 317. Where one Maud brought a Formedon in the Remainder and counted that one Hamond was seised and gave the said Tenements to one Robert c. in tail and that for want of such issue that the Tenements should return to the said Hamond for life the Remainder to the Demandant in Fee and counted further That Robert is dead without issue and that Hamond is also dead c. It was holden although that the Remainder reserved to the Donor be void yet the Remainder over in Fee is good c. And in that case although that the Remainder in Fee was future sci After the death of Hamond the estate reserved to Hamond meerly void that originally not by matter ex post facto yet the Remainder in Fee was good and should begin presently upon the death of Robert without issue and should not expect the death of Hamond Mr. Attorney hath given a Rule That the intent of the parties is the Direction of uses as also of Wills and therefore I will put one Case of Wills 37 H. 6. 17. If a man devise Lands to a Monk for four and twenty years and after the same ended to another in Fee here the Monk being a dead person cannot take the estate limited to him therefore it is void but the Fee limited to the other is good and shall take effect presently If it be so in a Will why not so also in uses For the intents of the parties do direct the constructions of both And our case here is a stronger case than the case cited 37 H. 6. 36. for there where Land is devised to a Monk for life there may be colour of an Occupant during the life of the Monk who might take it although the Monk himself cannot take it and so the Remainder doth not take effect presently as to the possession but shall stay till after the death of the Monk But here is not any colour of an Occupancy for the estate here is a Lease for years which cannot admit an Occupant And see also 37 H. 6. 36. If a man devise that his Feoffees shall make an estate to I. S. for life the Remainder over to C. in Fee and I. S. will not take his estate C. shall have a Sub-poena against the Feoffees to make an estate to him
