Kind versus Ammery KInd Plaintiff in a Replevin against Ammery Replevin The Avowry was for a Rent-charge and the Grant was of a rent of twelve pounds payable at two Feasts Demand not necessary in an Avowry for a Rent-charge and if it vs behind for the space of a month after any of the said Feasts it being lawfully demanded that he might distrain and for Rent arrear at the Annunciation and by the space of a month after and not paid he distrained And the Plaintiff demurred upon this Avowry and shewes for cause that it is not shewn that the Avowant made any demand before the Distresse And Serjeant Harris relied upon a Case which was An 31 Eliz. as he said and vouched the number Roll Bosdens case that upon demurrer between Bosden and Downes there the Avowry was not good for the same cause And Maunds case Coke lib. 7 fol. 28. implies that it ought to be demanded but it is not issuable if it be at the day or after And he said it was debated 31 Eliz. whether it was form or substance which shall not need to be shewn upon Demurrer But the Court agreed that no actuall demand was necessary to procede the Distresse in this case but that the Distresse is a demand But if the Grant has been penned in this form if it be arrear at such a Feast and for a month after demand that then he may distrain otherwise it is for there the Distresse is limited to the month after the demand And so it was adjudged in this Court between Coppleston and Langford Trin. 3.

Booton against the Bishop of Rochester A Quare impedit was brought by Booton against the Bishop of Rochester who pleads that he claims nothing but as Ordinary and yet pleads further that the Clerk which the Plaintiff present had before contracted with the Plaintiff Simoniacally Insufficient return on a Writ in Quare Impedit to the Arch bishop and therfore because he was Simoniacus he refused him and that the Church was then void and so remained void wherupon the Plaintiff had a Writ to the Arch-bishop of Canterbury who returned that before the coming of this Writ viz. 4 July the Church was full of one Mr. Doctor Grant ex collatione of the said Bishop of Rochester which had collated by Laps and this return was adjudged insufficient First it is clear that though the six months passe yet if the Patron present the Bishop ought to admit although it

Chittle versus Sammon CHittle against Sammon in Replevin Replevin Avowry for Rent granted to the Father in see without alledging that it was arreare after the death of the Father Counsance for Rent as Bayliff to Sir John Reves upon a Grant out of the Land wherof the place in which c. was parcell upon a Grant made to the Father of Sir John and for Rent arrear c. Issue was joyned upon this point if the place was parcell of the Land out of which the Rent was granted and found by Verdict that it was And now moved by Attho in Arrest of Iudgment that it is not alledged that this Rent was arrear after the death of the Father as it ought to be and therfore it may be intended that this Rent was arrear in the life of the Father But the Court agreed and resolved that it was good after Verdict for now it is pleaded that it was arrear and not paid to him Ergo it was due to him and though it might have been more fully pleaded yet after Verdict it is sufficient Fletcher versus Harcot AN action upon the case was brought by Fletcher of Otely against Harcot and count Case that wheras the Defendant had arrested one Batersby by a Commission of rebellion Assumpsit in consideration that the plaintiff being an Hostler would keep a Prisoner to save him harmlesse issuing out of the Court of the Lord President and Councell of the North as he affirmed And wheras the Plaintiff keeps a common Inne in Otely and had kept it by the space of five years and had entertained men The Defendant requested the Plaintiff to keep the said Batersby in his Inne at Otely by the space of one night as a Prisoner and that he would keep and save him harmlesse and shew that he had kept him for that night as a Prisoner And Batersby afterward brought an action of false Imprisonment against him for the said keeping of him in his house and that he had expended and laid out in defence thereof ten pounds And that he had required him to save him harmlesse and he refused Non assumpsit found for the Plaintiff and moved by Harvey in Arrest of Iudgment that it is no sufficient consideration because it doth not appear that he had lawfully arrested the said Batersby for it is not affirmatively alledged but as he said Also it doth not appear that the recovery in the action of false Imprisonment was for the same cause but in that he had misinformed for it was in the Record Pro custodia praedicta ex causa praedicta And for the other matter the Lord Hobart seemed at first to doubt if it did not appear that it was a lawfull Arrest then there was no consideration But because the diversity when the consideration appears to be for doing of a thing which is unlawfull As if one at the request of I. S. promise to better I. D. and he promise to save him harmlesse this is a void Consideration But if one request I. S. to enter into the Mannor of Dale and drive out Cattle and that he will save him harmlesse if he doth so and after Trespasse be brought against him and recovery had he shall have his action So if a Sheriff pretending to have a Writ where he hath none arrest one and request an Inne-keeper to entertain him in his house or hire one to conduct the Prisoner to the Gaol and promise to keep him without Damage if an Action be brought and recovery had therupon the party shall have an action of the case against the Sheriff upon this promise for he which doth a thing which may be lawfull and the illegallity therof appear not to him he which imploys the party and assume to save him harmlesse shall be charged And Iudgment was entred for the Plaintiff Mich. 20 Jac.

And because that in this case the said Edward Griffin and his Wife are to have benefit they ought to require them to nominate the summ But because it appears to the Court that this Action is founded upon a Contract in Law therfore it ought to be brought in Surrey as it was agreed in Ungle and Glovers case An 36 Eliz vide Coke lib 3. fol 23. Nota that the Iudgment is speciall for this cause and no costs upon the Statute of 23 H 8. for the Defendant for the Statute saies that upon a Contract made by the Plaintiff the Defendant shall have costs and yet upon this Statute if the Executor be non-suited or Verdict given against him he shall not pay costs Where costs shall not be against Executors by common experience alwaies after the Statute and yet he shall have costs if he recover And in this case the Plaintiff shall have costs if he recover and yet it seems upon this Iudgment the Defendant shall not have costs against him and especially because that they are expresse words in the Statute that the Defendant shall have costs after Non-suit or lawfull tryall against the Plaintiff and here is neither Non-suit nor lawfull tryall vide Statute 4 Jac cap. 3. seems to be full in all cases where the Plaintiff shall have his costs upon Non-suit or when the Verdict passe against him the Defendant shall have costs yet it hath been taken that it shall be intended in actions of Debt upon the Contract of the Plaintiff himself for Executors neither upon Verdict nor upon Non-suit shall pay any costs because that their actions are brought upon Debts or Contracts not made between them and the Defendants vide the Statute of Glocester cap 1. that where a man recover damages there also he shall have costs Hickson versus Hickson HIckson Demandant in Dower against Hickson They are at issue the Tenant offer to be essoined upon the Venire facias and for want of the Adjornment therof by the Demandant Essoin shall not be allowed in Dower the Tenant had procured a Non-suit and yet the

D. in tail It is resolved that all the uses limited to-persons not in Esse are contingent but the uses to persons in Esse vest presently and yet these contingent uses when they happen vest by interposition if the first Estate for life which ought to support them be not disturbed And in this case it was a good Estate for life in Margaret And then gives the remane in the Feoffees for eighty years if Nicholas and Elizabeth Sanders so long should live and if Elizabeth survive Nicholas then to Elizabeth for her life and after her decease to Posthumus in tail and after his decease to the said three Daughters in tail so that there the Estate for years determines upon the death of Elizabeth and so also the Estate for life to Elizabeth which was contingent determines by his death And the Lord Darbies case a Feoffment to the use of Edward The Lord Derbies case late Earl of Derby in tail and then to the use of the two Feoffees for eighty years if Henry late Earl of Darby should so long live and after his decease to Ferdinand and to the Heirs Males of his body and for default of such Issue to the use of William now Earl of Derby And it was adjudged that the remainders vest presently And this possibility that Henry might have over lived the eighty years will not make the remainders contingent And in a Suit which was at Lancaster between Farrington and another Farringtons case upon a speciall Verdict there found about 8 Jac. and many times argued at Serjeants Inn it was afterwards adjudged a good remainder and not contingent And the same case in this Court upon a Scire facias for two have executor of certain Land for debt recovered against the Earl of Derby which Land was intailed by the same Conveyance c. brought against the Earl of Bridgwater and his Wife one of the Co-heirs of Ferdinand Earl of Derby was adjudged in this Court vide Borastons case Coke lib 3. fol 20. 14 Eliz Dyer 314.

Metcalfe versus Hodgson Case MEtcalfe brought an action upon the case against Hodgson and Wharton late Sheriffs of the City of York and count That wheras time out of memory c. there hath been a Court of Record holden before the Sheriffs of the said City upon the Bridge called Ousbridge An action of the case lies not against a Sheriff for taking of insufficient Bail being Iudges and that in this Court every one having cause of action arising within the said City had used to commence any action for debt there and that the Defendants being arrested by their bodies the Sheriffs had used to take Bayle of them and to let them to Bayle finding sufficient sureties and that the Sheriffs are also and time out of memory have been Keepers of the Gaol there And wheras the Plaintiff had brought an action against one Smith and recovered the now Defendants being Sheriffs had taken insufficient Bail of him c. And upon Not guilty pleaded it was tryed before the Lord chief Baron at York for the Bail are supposed to be taken at Wakefield but that was not alledged for any thing which appears to be out of their Iurisdiction And the Iury contrary to the direction of the Lord chief Baron gave Verdict for the Plaintiff And after many motions in Arrest and praying of Iudgment it was resolved that this act was done by them as Iudges and for this Iudiciall Act no action lay And though that the Bail by the event appear to be insufficient yet there is no remedy by action upon the case it being without fraud or corruption and not for reward And this Case differs nothing from the ordinary cases of all insufficient Bailes taken by any of the Kings-Bench Common Bench or Exchequer And that they having two Authorities in una persona it shall be taken to be done by that Authority by which they have power to vail and that is as Iudges of the Court and not as Gaolers for by this they have no power to Bail any and in this capacity they are only subject to an escape vide Dyer 163. Error cannot be assigned in that which the Court of Common Bench do as Iudges vide 12 E 4. 19.
