a_o distress_n ground_v upon_o the_o statute_n and_o be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o extent_n thereof_o and_o so_o the_o difference_n appear_v where_o the_o distress_n be_v guide_v by_o the_o

these_o law_n do_v give_v no_o special_a direction_n therein_o and_o therefore_o the_o distress_n mention_v in_o rook_n case_n may_v in_o this_o place_n be_v question_v for_o there_o carter_n be_v

that_o where_o ground_n be_v chargeable_a to_o repair_v of_o defence_n and_o a_o sess_n be_v thereon_o impose_v by_o the_o commissioner_n of_o sewer_n the_o good_n of_o a_o stranger_n may_v be_v

hold_v that_o no_o good_n can_v be_v distrain_v for_o this_o amerciament_n but_o only_o the_o proper_a good_n of_o the_o party_n amerce_v although_o the_o good_n of_o other_o be_v levant_n and_o couchant_a on_o his_o ground_n and_o
further_o in_o proof_n of_o my_o say_a opinion_n the_o case_n of_o the_o lord_n cromwell_n in_o 15_o el._n in_o dier_n fol._n 322._o do_v come_v full_o thereto_o which_o be_v that_o a_o replevin_n

by-law_n within_o the_o manor_n by_o the_o custom_n thereof_o in_o which_o case_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o proper_a good_n of_o the_o party_n be_v to_o be_v distrain_v therefore_o and_o not_o the_o good_n of_o a_o stranger_n levant_n and_o couchant_a on_o the_o ground_n and_o in_o the_o 47_o ed._n 3._o fol._n 12._o the_o prior_n of_o tindals_n case_n 3._o 47_o ed._n 3._o where_o the_o

and_o so_o my_o opinion_n may_v be_v conceive_v that_o for_o a_o assess_v the_o good_n of_o a_o stranger_n may_v be_v distrain_v on_o the_o ground_n charge_v but_o may_v not_o there_o be_v take_v

if_o a_o man_n good_n be_v wreck_v waive_v or_o take_v as_o stray_n or_o sell_v in_o market_n overt_a the_o property_n may_v be_v alter_v second_o by_o custom_n as_o in_o london_n upon_o a_o foreign_a

what_o interest_n the_o stranger_n gain_v thereby_o be_v the_o question_n i_o be_o clear_a of_o opinion_n as_o many_o book_n be_v that_o one_o joyntenant_n may_v disseise_v his_o companion_n by_o a_o

3._o right_o may_v hold_v 3._o 36_o ed._n 3._o joyntenancy_n with_o a_o possession_n and_o the_o one_o may_v take_v by_o survivor_n from_o the_o other_o in_o 9_o h._n 7._o fol._n 23._o that_o he_o in_o remainder_n and_o a_o stranger_n may_v disseise_v tenant_n for_o life_n and_o shall_v be_v both_o disseisor_n but_o in_o that_o case_n they_o be_v both_o stranger_n to_o the_o particular_a

semel_fw-la but_o not_o simul_fw-la but_o in_o our_o principal_a case_n whether_o one_o joyntenant_n may_v hold_v the_o possession_n of_o a_o moiety_n with_o his_o first_o companion_n in_o jointure_n with_o his_o moiety_n in_o right_n and_o can_v also_o uno_fw-la tempore_fw-la hold_v joyntenancy_n in_o possession_n with_o a_o stranger_n of_o the_o moiety_n upon_o which_o the_o disseisin_n be_v

in_o the_o disseisin_n than_o what_o alteration_n this_o release_n will_v work_v in_o my_o case_n be_v the_o next_o question_n it_o be_v true_a as_o mr._n littelton_n say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v two_o littleton_n littleton_n disseisor_n and_o the_o disseisee_fw-mi release_v to_o one_o of_o they_o he_o shall_v hold_v his_o companion_n out_o of_o all_o the_o like_a law_n be_v in_o my_o case_n of_o two_o abater_n and_o two_o intruder_n but_o if_o two_o disseisor_n be_v and_o they_o make_v a_o lease_n for_o year_n render_v rend_v and_o then_o the_o disseisee_fw-mi release_v to_o one_o of_o the_o disseisor_n i_o suppose_v this_o release_n shall_v inure_v to_o both_o because_o the_o lessee_n for_o year_n who_o estate_n shall_v be_v strengthen_v by_o this_o release_n be_v in_o by_o the_o title_n under_o both_o of_o they_o and_o now_o they_o be_v tenant_n of_o a_o reversion_n only_o and_o of_o a_o rent_n thereto_o incident_a which_o be_v not_o get_v by_o the_o disseisin_n but_o be_v compose_v by_o the_o legal_a contract_n of_o the_o party_n so_o if_o two_o be_v admit_v to_o a_o copyhold_n by_o tort_n or_o to_o a_o office_n in_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n unlawful_o though_o their_o entry_n be_v unlawful_a yet_o because_o they_o come_v in_o by_o admittance_n which_o be_v at_o the_o door_n of_o justice_n i_o suppose_v therefore_o that_o if_o a_o release_n be_v make_v to_o one_o of_o they_o by_o the_o disseisee_fw-mi it_o shall_v inure_v to_o both_o because_o they_o have_v some_o colour_n and_o countenance_n to_o enter_v more_o than_o express_v disseisor_n or_o

and_o by_o the_o accession_n of_o the_o right_n by_o descent_n to_o the_o tortuous_a possession_n it_o do_v inure_v only_o to_o the_o son_n and_o although_o this_o release_n be_v upon_o condition_n which_o by_o the_o breach_n thereof_o seem_v to_o set_v the_o relessor_n in_o the_o same_o state_n he_o be_v before_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o admit_v the_o joint_a disseisor_n which_o be_v expel_v thereby_o to_o become_v a_o copartner_n again_o with_o his_o fellow_n as_o if_o the_o son_n and_o a_o stranger_n disseise_v the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n die_v the_o stranger_n hereby_o be_v

which_o after_o the_o decease_n of_o the_o grandfather_n be_v bear_v whereby_o the_o inheritance_n of_o this_o land_n be_v he_o yet_o the_o other_o joint_a disseisor_n which_o be_v expel_v by_o the_o

but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v further_a what_o be_v reduce_v by_o this_o condition_n the_o right_a only_o which_o be_v release_v or_o the_o possession_n together_o with_o this_o right_n for_o if_o but_o a_o right_a be_v reduce_v than_o a_o descent_n happen_v may_v perchance_o toll_n the_o entry_n of_o the_o relessor_n and_o so_o he_o may_v be_v put_v to_o his_o writ_n of_o right_n in_o fee_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o right_a of_o a_o inferior_a degree_n as_o in_o our_o case_n it_o be_v but_o for_o life_n than_o he_o shall_v be_v with_o out_o remedy_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n where_o the_o release_n do_v inure_v by_o way_n of_o 3._o 17_o assiz_n pl._n 2._o 17._o ed._n 3._o entry_n and_o feoffment_n be_v upon_o condition_n it_o may_v in_o that_o case_n by_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o
