be 159. Dower brought the Defendant pleaded that he had assigned to the Wife 20 acres of Corn out of the Land in recompence of her Dower and adjudged a good barr as well as of Rent or any other profit out of the Land 160. Three Coparceners Daughters the one of them and her Husband enter into the whole the other being supposed out of the Realm in the right of his Wife and afterwards the other two return and release to the Husband and Wife and their Heirs It was holden that the Release should enure only to the Wife and her Heirs because the same enures only by way of Extinguishment and the Baron is seised in the right of his Wife But admit the Husband and Wife both enter and are Disseisors then the Release shall enure to them both and then when the Wife survives the Husband she shall have the whole 161.

A man devised his Land to his wife for life the Remainder to another for his life and after their deaths he devised that the same Lands should be sold by his Executors or the Executors of his Executors he dyed after the Wife and he in the Reversion dyed and during their lives one of the Executors dyed intestate It was the opinion of the Justices That the Executors of one Executor should not make the sale for they had authority joyntly and if one of them fail the other cannot execute the Testament and so it was said it was adjudged in Franklyn's Case where a man devised that I. S. and I. D. by advice of the Parson of D. should make sale of his Lands after his death and before the sale the Parson dyed the other two could not sell the Lands 165. Wast assigned in a Marsh for that the Lessee suffered a Sea wall adjoyning to the Marsh to be ruinous by which by the flowing of the Sea the Marsh was drowned The Court conceived That if it was a small breach in the Wall and the Lessee did not repair it but suffered it to continue it was waste bet if it was suddenly done by the violence of the water the Defendant might plead that matter in barr Sir Edward Bray and Andrews Case 166. Action for words viz. My Master was not content to take my Living from me but sent his Man Andrews to kill me Resolved the Declaration was not good for the incertainty for the words My Master comprehends a generality and doth not refer to any Person certain and therefore it cannot be intended the Defendant intended to tax the Plaintiff more then any other Person and it may be he had at that time many Masters and it ought to appear to the Court of what Person certain the Defendant intended the words 167. An Action upon the Statute of Apparel The Writ was Ad respondendum Dominae Reginae quam I. S. Resolved the Action was not well brought because the Queen and the Party cannot joyne in the Action but they ought to have several Actions viz. the Queen shall have an Action for her part and the Informer for the other part For although by the Premises of the Statute it is an entire duty yet the sequel of the Statute determines how the penalty shall be taken and it is as several forfeitures The Earl of Northumberlands Case 168. Resolved one cannot have a VVrit of Forfeiture of Marriage without a Tender made to the Heir contra of a Writ De Valoâ—e Maritagii 169.

In a Formedon in the Discender the Tenant vouched to Warranty I. S. who entred into the Warranty and vouched I. D. It was the opinion of the Justices That is a good Counter plea that the vouchee nor any of his Ancestors had any thing after the guift so as he could enfeoff him who vouched him 171. In Debt upon an Indenture the Defendant pleaded that it was rased after the delivery by the Plaintiff But he cannot plead That it is not his deed and give in Evidence the rasure but he ought to plead the special matter 172.

It was holden by the the Justices in this Case That it is a good Challenge in a Writ of Right to the 4. Knights that they are not gladiis cincti And a Challenge to them must be made upon their appearance for after they are once sworn they are not Challengeable Also the 4.

Because it appeared that at the time of the making of the Decree that the estate would bear both the Legacies and the Charitable use also with an Overplus and if any of the debts of the 2000 l. became desperate it was by the negligence of the Administrators and should not retard the Charitable use The King and Howards Case 1049.

That the Covenants that he would not do any Execution nor Execute any Writs here as venire fac were against Law 4.

They brought Debt for a penalty of 5.l Resolved the Action did not lie for being incorporated within time of memory and after the Statute 5. Eliz. they had not power to make By lawes also because the By-law was unreasonable Skaifes and Nelsons Case 1141. Action against Husband and Wife for slanderous words spoken by the Wife and verdict being for the Plaintiff Judgement was against the Husband and Wife and that the Wife should be amerced upon which Error was brought for that both should be amerced but because the Paper book of the Atturney was plain without resure that they should be both amerced It was said to be the Omission of the Clarke and the Record was amended Digby and Fitzherberts Case 1142. Quare impedit The Plaintiff Counted that A. was seised in fee of the Advowson and presented B. and afterward granted to him the next avoidance and that B. dyed and the Defendant did disturb him to present The Defendant said that Sir Tho. Fitz. was seised in Fee of the Advouson and granted it to Rich. Fitz. who gave it to A. for the life of one I. S. by force of which A. presented B. and then granted the next Avoidance to the Plaintiff and I.

S. upon which it was demurred The Court was divided in opinion Warberton and Winch said the last Traverse was Idle because the Plea had confessed and avoided it Nicholas and Hobart contrary The better opinion seemed to be that to confesse and avoid and also to Traverse is the most sure way of pleading vide Newman and Mores Case Trin 13. Jac. in C. B. Pas 37 Eliz. Cootesale and Woodroses Case in a quare impedit accordingly and Sherley and Bowyers Case If the thing which is Traversed is a point material the Traverse is well added to the Plea otherwise if it be of a thing idle and trivial Brown and Goldsmiths Case 1143. The Dean and Chapter made a Lease of the Mannor of D. to I.S. excepting the Courts and perquisits of Court It was Resolved that the Exception was void as to that Court but as to the perquisits of Court the Exception was good and it was Resolved That for the perquisites of Court no distresse was to be had but Debt did lie for them but in this Case it was Resolved that the King might Lease a Mannor excepting the Courts and such Exception was good Day and Savages Case 1144.

The Husband Tennant in Tail the remainder to his Wife for life he made a Feoffment to the use of himself and his Wife for the Joynture of the VVife and after dyed without issue Adjudged the Joynture pleaded was no Bar in Dower brought by the Wife because the Wife was remitted and in of her former
this case that if S. had died and no other was instituted by the Patron but the Church remained void that the King might Present otherwise it had been if the Patron had presented a new Parson to the Church before the King presented Pym and Gorwins Case 1165. It was Resolved by the Justices in this case that one cannt prescribe for a Seat in the body of the Church for that the Seats there are disposable by the Parson and Churchwardens but for a Seat in an Isle of the Church a man may prescribe because it may be presumed that he or his Ancestors who had house and lands within the Parish had edified and built the said Isle and so it was said it was adjudged in the Lady Grays case Norris and the Hundred of Gawtrys Case 1166. Debt against the Hundred upon a Robbery 9. Octob. 13 Jac. the Teste of the original was 9 Octob. 14 Jac. It was said the Action was not brought within the year for there is but one ninth of October within the year It was the opinion of the Justices that in this case a Fraction of a day should be by devision of time in a day viz. the Robbery committed 9 Oct. 13. post meridiem is within the year of the bringing of the Writ 9 Octob. 14 Jac. in the morning Vide Ludford and Grettons Case Plowd Com. 491. Dawks and Hills Case 1167. Upon an Information upon the Statute of 5 E. 6. an Ingrosser of Chattel justified for a certain number of Chattel and sold upon two several Licenses without distinction how much upon the one and how much upon the other and upon a Demurrer it was adjudged for the Plaintiff Middleton and Lawtes Case 1168. Two Patrons pretended title to present the one presented and the Bishop refused his Clerk He sued in the Audience and had an Inhibition to the Bishop and after there he obtained Institution and Induction by the Arch-Bishop Afterwards the inferior Bishop instituted and inducted the Clerk of the other for which Process issued out of the Audience against him he upon that prayed a Prohibition and a Prohibition was awarded as to the Incumbency because the Ecclesiastical Courts have not to meddle with Institution and Induction for that would determine the Incumbency which is tryable at the Common Law Stewkley and Butlers Case 1169. In Trespass the case was A. seised of the Mannor of D. made a Lease of the Scite and Demeans to the Defendant for three Lives except all Tymber-trees and covenanted that his Lessee should take all Woods Afterwards the Lessor bargained and sold to the Lessee all those the Trees Woods and Under-woods growing within the Mannor viz. within the Grounds called A. B. and C. Habendum una cum omnibus aliis arboribus within the Mannor which may conveniently be spared and the Bargainor covenanted that it should be lawful for the Barganee at all times within five years to enter and cut the Trees and Woods and convert them to their own uses In this case it was Resolved 1. That the Viz. was void for a Viz. may explaine or distribute a thing precedent but not restrain it 2. Resolved that the una cum aliis arboribus in the Habendum should make a new Grant of the other Trees 3. Resolved that the words which followed the una cum cest ' una cum omnibus arboribus within the Mannor which could be spared was void for the uncertainty and there is no means agreed betwixt the parties here to reduce the same to a certainty 4. Resolved that the Covenant of the Bargainor that it should be lawfull for the Bargainee to take the Trees and Woods within five years was not a Condition but a meer Covenant and the difference was taken where one sells all his Trees to be taken within 5 years after there the Vendee shall not take them after 5 years ended but if the time of taking of them be by way of Covenant there it shall not restraine the party to take them at all times as well after the five years as within the five years but the parties are to have their remedy by an Action of Covenant upon the disturbance Yet it was said by Hatton that if one grants his Corn growing and the Grantee doth not take it in convenient time so as the Grantor receive detriment thereby the Grantor shall have Action upon the case against him Hansons Case 1170. He was cast over the Bar because he gave direction in writing to an Under-Sheriff what persons he would have him return upon a Pannel for tryal of an Issue and named others who he would not have to be retorned Kingswell and Crawleys Case 1171.

N. who made a Lease to the Plaintiff for Life absque hoc that he had the estate of I. S. Resolved that the Traverse was void for after the Statute of 21 H. 8. the party is to avow upon the Land and then it is not material what Estate the Tenant had so he occupied the Land but before the said Statute it had bin a good Plea so as the Statute hath changed the Law for the Traverse in pleading although there is not any word of it in the Statute Andrews and the Bishop of Yorks Case 1172. It was Resolved that is a good Plea in an Assize of Darrien Presentment that the Plaintiff hath a Quare Impedit depending the same avoidance 1173. Words viz. He hath stollen my coâ—n out of my Barns Adjudged per curiam the words were actionable Hall and Wingfields Case 1173. The Defendant acknowledged a Recognizance before the Lord Hobart at Serjeants-Inn in Fleet-street London which Recognizance was enrolled in the Court of common Pleas The Plaintiff brought debt upon this Recognizance in the Common Pleas and layed his Action in London Whether it ought to be brought in Middlesex where the Record of the Judgment was or in London was the Question The Justices were divided in several opinions Winâ—h it ought to be in Middlesex where it is enrolled because the Debt is consummate Warberton it may be in any County where the party pleaseth Hutton it lieth where the Record is Hobert if no mention had bin made upon the Inrollment of the Recognizance before the Chief Justice at Serjeants Inn it ought to have bin brought in Middlesex but now it was in the Election of the Plaintiff to bring it either in London or Middlesex vide this case more at large Hob.
