the Land to Anne his Wife the Lessor of the Plaintiff for life and died Anne entred and made a Lease to the Plaintiff Et si super totam materiam c. And it seems that the Defendant Allen claim under the Title of Anne K. the Daughter but that was not found nor no other Title for the Defendant and therfore of necessity Iudgment ought to be given for the Plaintiff And this case was well argued by Crawley for the Plaintiff And Henden for the Defendant And three Points were argued 1. If the two acres in Langham passed by the words Cum pertinentiis and it seemed to the Court that they did not passe without saying Cum terris eidem Messuagio spectantibus vel pertinentibus And that is agreed in Hill and Granges case by Conveyance and 23 H. 8. 6. and it is all one in a Will Also in this case it is not found for what time these two acres had been used with the house And there was sufficient to supply the words Cum pertinent for ought that appears And if the Law be so the two acres do not passe but discend to Thomas Keene and the Feoffment good 2.

Fitz tail 21. 12 E 3. 7 E 6. 16 Eliz in Chapmans case or a Fee-simple And yet Yelverton and Crook inclined that it was an Estate-tail but Lord Richardson Hutton and Harvey to the contrary for an intent against Law shall be void vide Abraham and Twiggs case Co●e lib 7. fol 41. 3. If the Collaterall Warranty which descended had extinguish● and barred the right of Anne Keene Henden would have maintained it because that the Warranty is speciall although it was collaterall that it did not Bar which is san● question be it speciall or generall it bars the others upon whom it descends vide Coke lib 15.

And it seemed by all to be agreed that the Baron after he purchaseth his pardon or after he come and reverse the Outlawry he shall not have allowance of his Pardon nor his appearance received si non qui il amesne sa feme qui par le presumption de leye est amesnable per luy mes les baron n'est amesnable per le feme vide 18 E 4. 4. there the case was that a Feme Covert was sued as Feme sole her Husband being beyond Sea and not known to be alive and she was outlawed and then her Husband came again and brought a Writ of Error for the reversall therof in his name and in the name of his Wife And there it is said that it is questionable being that he was not party to the Suit And then one said that it would be a good way to be rid of a Shrew And the Prothonotaries said that no Supersedeas was ever granted for the Wife in such a case Hil. 2 Car. Sir Charles Howards Case MEmorand That the Earl of Marleborough Lord Treasurer of England came to Serjeants Inn in Chancery Lane 6. Febr. and there assembled all the Iustices to have their opinion upon a Case which was depending in the Exchequer Chamber Where the office of the keeper of a Park is gone if the K●ng dispark it upon an English Bill for the King by the Attorney-generall against Sir Charles Howard for avoiding the possession of a Lodge and desisting from taking the profits of a Park called Putney Mooreclapp the Custody of which Park and three pounds annuall Fee with the Windfalls c. and the custody of the Lodge was granted to him The King which now is by his Charter disparked the Park and after granted all the D●er to Sir Richard Weston Chancellor of the Exchequer And whether by this disparking of the Park the office of the Keepership he determined or no then whether the annuall Fee be determined then if the casuall profits as Windfalls c. may be yet taken by Charles Howard who is the Patentes And upon debate it was unanimously agreed that the King might dispark his Park and that by the disparking therof the Office of the Keepership is gone and determined for Sublata causa tollitur effectus and this Office is not of necessity and such Offices are not prefumed in Law to be altogether for the benefit of the Patentes but reciprocally for the Commodity of the King and by the disparking of the Park the labour and charge is gone It was also agreed that the King might discharge the Patentee of this Office although the Park continue And i● one grant the Stewardship of a Mannor and he dismember the Mannor the Office determines And if a Corporation grant the Office of Town-Clerk or of Recorder and after surrender their Patent and take a new Patent which incorporates them by a new name all the Offices are determined It was agreed that the annuall Fee certain remain in both cases be he discharged or be the Park disparked vide 5 E 4. 9. 4 E 4. 22. 18.

And the Commissioners returned this speciall matter and he prayed an Attachment And this case was propounded to the Iudgges and it was resolved by them the Lord Keeper and all the Court of Star-chamber that he ought to answer upon his Oath for it is Juramentum purgationis and not promissionis Also
that the Plea is not good Harris argued for the Defendant for three reasons 1.

And for telling this ought not to be answered any other way then by justifying of the Imployment and the Plaintiff may reply upon the sale if he will and the case is long debated 5 E 4. 10. vide Dyer 37. Malenders case And the last day of this Term the Lord Hobart declared that we were all of opinion that the Plea is not good for there though the Lease be of Mines and by vertue therof the Lessee might open new Mines as in Sanders case Coke lib 5. fol. 12. there it shall be intended of new Mines which in themselves is wast if it had not been by speciall words And the digging of a Mine is an impairing of the Inheritance and a great benefit to the Lesses and therfore if Lessee for years build a new house if he cut Trees off the same Lands for the making therof it is wast 17 E 2. Fit wast 118.

Souser versus Burton ONe Widow Souser brought an action of the Case against Burton for these words Thou old Witch thou old Whore leave oft thy witching or else thou shalt be hanged or burned if I can do it And upon Not guilty pleaded and Verdict for the Plaintiff it was moved in Arrest of Iudgment And it seemed to Lord Finch Hutton and Vernon that the action lay not without shewing that she did any act of Witchcraft for which the pain of Pillory and Imprisonment for two years should be inflicted and the second time Felony And that the words Words Thou art an old Witch or go away thou old Witch are usuall words and old Whore bears no action And as to say Thou shalt be hanged if I can do it it is not possible that he could do it But Iustice Crawley doubted of it at first because that it was alledged that it had been adjudged in the Kings Bench that an action lies for calling one Witch But afterwards he said that he had spoken with the Iustices of the Kings Bench of their reason who said that they adiudged no such thing unlesse that he spoke further that the party had done any act of Witchcraft punishable by the Statute Hugles versus Drinkwater AN action of Account by William Hugles against Thomas Drink-water for receit of eighteen pounds In Account payment by appointment of the Plaintiff is no plea before the Auditors where the Issue was Ne unques receivor by the hands of one William Appowell to the use of the Plaintiff the Defendant plead Ne unquer receivor per manus c. and found or the Plaintiff And the Defendant before the Auditors plead that he by the appointment of William Appowell had paid it to one John Marsh for the Debt of the Plaintiff and therupon Demurrer And adjudged a bad Plea and against his former Issue And the said Appowell by whose hands he received the said summ had not any power to appoint the Defendant to pay it to John Marsh to whom the Plaintiff was indebted and if that had been pleaded in Bar of the Account to have been done by the appointment of the Defendant it had been a good Bar vide Dyer 29. 196. after ne unques receivor and the truth was that he had been Receiver and had paid it over by the appointment of the party and yet by this Plea be hath lost the advantage therof An. 2.
