Cap. 8. shall not help that Lease notwithstanding the Non-recital or Mis-recital of Leases made before For here is not matter of recital but matter of Estate and Interest which is not well limited for the Commencement of it i. the Lease to Phillips For there is not any certainty of the Commencement of it For that Lease cannot begin after the Surrender of Roper for the words of the Limitation of the beginning of it cannot serve to such Construction XV. 2 Eliz.

In the Common Pleas. LOvelace moved the Court that in the Kings Bench this case was argued upon a Demurrer there A Feoffment was made by one Coxley who took back an Estate for life the remainder to him who should be his Heir at the time of his death and to the Heirs males of his body begotten And afterwards the Tenant for life after the Statute of 32 H. 8. suffered a Recovery to be had against him that that Recovery was good as it was at the Common Law Because the Statute doth not speak but that it shall not be a bar to him who hath the Reversion at the time of the Recovery but this remainder was in Abeyance until the death of the Tenant for life and that in the same Court it was adjudged accordingly in an Ejectione firmae and because the same was a discontinuance the Plaintiff had here brought his Formedon in the Remainder and therefore Lovelace prayed That they might proceed without delays because the Plaintiffs Title appeareth without Essoigns and feigned delays Which Dyer Iustice conceived to be a reasonable request and that it should be well so to do because as he said This Court is debased and lessened and the Kings Bench doth encrease with such Actions which should be sued here for the speed which is there And he said That the delays here were a discredit to the Court so as all Actions almost which do concern the Realty are determined in the Kings Bench in Writs of Ejectione firmae where the Iudgment is Quod recuperet terminum and by that they are put into possession and by such means no Action is in effect brought here but such Actions as cannot be brought there as Formedons Writs of Dower c. to the Slander of the Court and to the Detriment and Loss of the Serjeants at the Bar.

In the Common Pleas. ELizabeth Rich brought a Writ of Dower against J.S. who pleaded and Iudgment given for the Defendant and afterwards the Iudgment was reversed And she brought a new Writ of Dower and the Tenant pleaded That he always was ready and yet is c. Against which the Demandant pleaded the first Record to estop the Tenant To which the Tenant pleaded Nul tiel Record It was the Opinion of the Court That here the Demandant cannot conclude the Tenant by that Replication to plead Nul tiel Record For the Iudgment is reversed and so no Record and it cannot be certified a Record But if the Tenant had taken Issue upon the plea of the Tenant absque hoc that he was ready the same might well have been given in Evidence against the Tenant Note That the Case was That the Demandant after the death of her Husband entred into the Land in Demand and continued the possession of it 5 years and afterwards the Heir entred upon which she brought Dower It was agreed in that Case That the Tenant needed not to plead Tout temps prist after his re-entry for the time the Demandant had occupied the same is a sufficient recompence for the Damages LXXVI Vavasors Case Mich. 15 Eliz.

Arbitrator but it is a good Clause to make the same an Article of the Arbitrament which the parties are bound to perform upon pain of forfeiture of the Recognizance Which Wray concessit And that this Rent should not cease by Eviction of the Land.

Plow Com. 519. where the Case was that Davies being Lessee for years Devised That his Wife should have and occupy his Land demised for so many years as she should live Nor unto the Case betwixt Paramour and Yardley 21 Eliz. Plow Com. 539. For there the Lessee Devised That his Wife should have the Occupation and Profits of the Lands until the full age of his Son For in those Cases the Land it self is quodam modo devised But in our Case all the Estate is Devised i. e. the Lease it self And also in those two Devises a certain person is named in the Will who should take the residue of the Term which should expire after the death of the Wife but in the Case at Bar no person in certain is appointed c. but the Devise as to that is conceived in general words Children unpreferred Ergo neither any Possibility nor any Remainder is in any person certain therefore all the whole Term is intirely in the Wife and then she may well dispose the whole But the whole Court was to the contrary and that in this Case the Possibility should rise well enough upon the death of the Wife to the Daughter Alice unpreferred Another Point was moved If the said Term being sold in the possession of the Wife of the Devisor by force of the Execution aforesaid If now the Iudgment being reversed the sale of the Term should be also avoided for now the party is to be restored to all that which he had lost And by Cook it was argued That notwithstanding the reversal of the Iudgment the sale should stand For the Iudgment for the Plaintiff in a Writ of Error is That he shall be restored to all that which he lost ratione Judicii praedict and the Iudgment was That the Plaintiff should recover 140 l. and therefore by the Iudgment in the Writ of Error he shall be restored to so much but the mean Act scil the Sale of the Lease shall stand and shall not be defeated and avoided As 7.

Fitz. tit Bar. 253. Accomptant found in arrearages committed to the Goal escaped and reversed the Iudgment given against him in the Accompt Ex parte talis yet an Action upon the Escape did lie And as to that Point the whole Court was of the same Opinion with Cook But that Point did not come in Iudgment For by the sale nothing passed but the Interest in praesenti which was in the Wife of the Devisor but the Possibility to the Children unpreferred was not touched by it And afterwards the Iudgment was affirmed CXXIX Bunny and Bunny's Case Hill. 26 Eliz.

And upon Non Assumpsit It was found for the Plaintiff It was Objected in Arrest of Iudgment That the Declaration is too general Quaedam pars Domus For the Plaintiff ought to have shewed especially what part of the House in certainty as the Hall Chamber or other Rooms But the Exception was disallowed Another Objection was Because he set forth in the Declaration That the

And upon that there was a Demurrer because by this Bar to the Avowry the Lease set forth in the Avowry is not answered for the Plaintiff in Bar to the Avowry ought to have concluded and so was he seised by the Custom until the Avowant praetextu of the said Term for years entred c. And so it was adjudged CXXXVII Rosse's Case Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. Ante 83. IN Trespass brought by Rosse for breaking of his Close and beating of his Servant and carrying away of his Goods Vpon Not guilty pleaded the Iury found this special matter scil That Sir Thomas Bromley Chancellor of England was seised of the Land where c. and leased the same to the Plaintiff and one A. which A. assigned his moyety to Cavendish by whose Commandment the Defendant entred It was moved That that Tenancy in Common betwixt the Plaintiff and him in whose right the Defendant justifies could not be given in Evidence and so it could not be found by Verdict but it ought to have been pleaded at the beginning But the whole Court were clear of another Opinion and that the same might be given in Evidence well enough It was further moved against the Verdict That the same did not extend to all the points in the Declaration but only to the breaking of the Close without enquiry of the battery c. And for that cause it was clearly holden by the Court That the Verdict was void And a Venire facias de novo was awarded CXXXVIII Gurney and Saers Case Trin. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. AN Ejectione firmae was brought by Gurney against Saer who pleaded That Verney was seised and leased the same to Baker for 21 years 8 Eliz. Baker 14 Eliz. assigned his Interest to Rolls who 15 Eliz. leased the same to Topp for 10 years and afterwards Rolls granted the residue of his Term to A. Verney 16 Eliz. leased the same Land to Stephen Gurney for 21 years to begin after the determination surrender or forfeiture of the first Lease rendring Rent with Clause of Re-entry And afterwards Verney granted over the Reversion in Fee to Hampden To which Grant A. and Topp attorned Topp leased to B. at Will A. and Topp surrendred B. held himself in by force of the Tenancy at Will And the said Surrender was made privily and secretly without the notice of the said Stephen Gurney The Rent reserved upon the Lease made to Stephen Gurney is demanded as now begun by the said Surrender Hampden entred as for the Condition broken for the non-payment of the said Rent And the Lease made to the said Stephen Gurney was pleaded Quod praedictus Johannes Verney per Indenturam suam sigillo ipsius Stephani Gurney sigillat demisit c. And that was holden a material Exception For here upon the matter doth not appear any Lease made by Verney For here upon the pleading it appeareth That Verney had accepted a Deed of Gurney purporting a Demise by Verney to Gurney which Gurney had sealed but there did not appear any such Deed sealed by Verney and therefore no Lease ut supra And although a Condition may be pleaded by Indenture sealed with the seal of the other party yet a Conveyance cannot be pleaded by Deed as it is here unless sealed with the seal of the party Agent scil the Feoffor Grantor Lessor And for that cause Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff Another Exception was taken because that after the Grant of the Reversion by Verney to Hampden the surrender of A. and Topp is pleaded whereas A. ought not to surrender for his Estate was not a Reversion for years but a Lease in Reversion and a Lease for years to begin at a day to come which could not be surrendred See 4 H. 7. 10. But if A. had granted his Interest by way of Reversion where Attornment had been as one Releaseth to him the Reversion for years it is good contrary to him who hath a Lease in Reversion But as to that it was said by the Court That this surrender by A. was good enough for in as much as the Interest which A. had at the time of the surrender was in Rolls a Reversion after his Grant to Topp and there it remained and continued in its nature as to that point notwithstanding that by the Grant it passed in another manner than as a Reversion Another Exception was taken because that in the pleading of the Surrender it is not alledged That at the time of the Surrender Hampden was seised of the Reversion 7 E. 3. 3. He who claims by Cestuy que use ought to alledge the Seisin and Continuance of Seisin to the said use at the time of the Feoffment or Grant notwithstanding that Seisin was alledged before And 10 H. 7. 28. Hewbade's Avowry he there pleaded That A. was seised of a Mannor and thereof levied a Fine to B. that C. the Tenant upon whom the Avowry was made attorned c. And Exception taken because it is not shewed in the Avowry That B. the Conusee was seised of the Mannor at the time of the Attornment And it was holden a good Exception On the other side it was said and affirmed by the Court That in all Cases where an Inheritance is once alledged in a Man the Law shall presume the Continuance of it there until the contrary be shewed See 1 Eliz. the Case between Wrotesley and Adams Plow Com. 193. And 15 Eliz. between Smith and Stapleton Plow 431. Which Wray and Gawdy Iustices granted Ayliff Iustice to the contrary Another point was moved If upon this secret Surrender notice ought to have been given to Gurney who had an Interest for years to begin upon the said Surrender For some conceived That Gurney without notice given him of the said Surrender should not be prejudiced by the Condition aforesaid And of that Opinion clearly was Wray Chief Iustice Note In this Case That Saer the Defendant presently after the Iudgment entred cast in a Writ of Error into the Court and assigned an Error in fact scil That Gurney the Plaintiff in the first Action within age appeared by Attorny whereas he ought by Gardein or Prochein Amy. And it was the Opinion of the Iustices upon the first Motion
created by this Will but the Feesimple setled in them when they came at their lawful age and had Issue so as the residue of the Devise was void and Iudgment was given accordingly CLXVI Griffith and Agard's Case Mich. 27 Eliz.

It was moved How the Iury should demean themselves in their Verdict For the Issue is That the Defendant had expended the whole 100l in the Education of the said Arthur and Anne And some were of Opinion If the Defendant had expended part in the Education of the said Anne only yet the Iury ought to find for the Plaintiffs For the Issue is entire upon the expending of the said 100l in the Education of the said Arthur and Anne without saying how much for the said Arthur and how much for the said Anne But Periam and Anderson Iustices were clear to the contrary Wherefore they advised the Iury to find specially if they conceived that the Defendant had expended any part of the 100l and to find it and how much And after the Iury found against the Defendant That nothing was expended c. And gave damages 20l. And the Iustices at the first doubted If damages should be given in an Accompt But at length they received the Verdict by the manner de bene esse See 2 R. 2. Fitz.

Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff And now upon the Retorn of the Writ of Enquiry of Damages It was moved That for as much as the Damages are excessive viz. 200l that the Court de Gratia would abridge the Damages But the whole Court was against it For that they as Iudges cannot know what prejudice and damage the Plaintiff hath sustained by the wrongful detaining of the said Recognizance but the Iury may well have notice of such matter And as the Case is here the damages are but incertain upon the Assumpsit For the Defendant assumed That if he did not redeliver the said Recognizance to the Plaintiff to pay him 1000 l. so as the damages are reduced to certainty by the promise of the Defendant himself And by Anderson If I bail to you an Obligation to rebail the same to me before such a day one 10l now upon not delivery at such a day I shall have an Action of Debt for the 10l contrary by Windham And by Anderson in the principal Case If the Defendant had pleaded Non Assumpsit and the Iury had found the promise they might have given 1000l damages without danger of an Attaint notwithstanding that the Plaintiff could not prove that he was damnified one penny and that by reason of the express Assumpsit of the Defendant CCI.

Allen and Hill's Case Mich. 29 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 1 Cro. 238. IN an Ejection Firme by Allen against Hill of a House in Cornhill in London Vpon Not guilty pleaded The Iury found this special matter viz. That one Francis Beneson was seised of the said House in Fee and 4 Eliz. devised the same to Anne his Wife for life in full satisfaction of all her Thirds in London and after her death to Tho. Beneson his Brother in Fee Proviso That if Anne clearly the words of the Verdict are totaliter depart out of London and dwell in the Country that then she shall have a Rent out of the said House And the Iury found further That Francis died without Issue and that afterwards Thomas died Robert being his next Heir And that 14 Eliz. Anne clearly departed out of London and went to Melton in the County of Suffolk And that afterwards Robert before any Entry released unto Anne and afterwards against his Release entred It was argued for the Defendant That by this Proviso and the departure of Anne out of London the Freehold was not out of her and vested in Robert before the entry of Robert For if it were out of Anne then is she but Tenant at sufferance to whom a Release made cannot enure And the words of the Will are not That her Estate shall cease And here as the case is Anne cannot be Tenant at sufferance to him in the Remainder betwixt whom and her there is not any privity See 18 E. 4. 25 26. Tenant for the term of the life of another the Remainder over in Fee Cestuy que vie dieth The Tenant remained Tenant until he in the Remainder entred upon him And so in our Case although Anne hath clearly departed out of London c. yet the Freehold of the House doth continue in her until the Entry of Robert and then the Release made to her is good Also the Breach of the Condition is not fully found For the Proviso is If she clearly departs out of London but it doth not stay there and dwell in the Country c. And
of the said Lands A. brought an Action of Covenant The Defendant pleaded That before the day of payment the Plaintiff put the said B. out of his Farm It was moved by Godfrey That the same is no plea For this is a Collateral sum and not for Rent issuing out of the Land Also the Defendant is a stranger to the Contract for the Farm. But the Opinion of the whole Court was clear to the contrary For the Defendant hath Covenanted That the Lessee shall pay for the said Farm and Occupation 40 l. so as it is as a Conditional Covenant and here is Quid pro quo and here the Consideration upon which the Covenant is conceived scil the Farm and the Occupation of it is taken away by the Act of the Plaintiff himself and therefore the plea is good and the Action will not lie CCVII.

Notwithstanding the Opinion of the Court of Common Pleas The Mayor and Aldermen of London reversed the Iudgment given in an Assise of Freshforce Vpon which Dicksey sued a Commission directed to Anderson Manwood and Periam to examine the said Iudgment ad errorem corrigendum And the Case was often Argued The principal matter was That Lessee for years in an Action of Debt brought against him for the Rent reserved claimed Fee by bargain and sale of his Lessor the which bargain and sale the Plaintiff traversed And it was argued Because this bargain and sale was traversed there was not any forfeiture in the Case for upon that both parties are at large As in a Praecipe quod reddat The Tenant disclaims and the Demandant avers him Tenant he shall not enter for that Disclaimer But all the three Iustices were clear of Opinion That notwithstanding the Traverse it is a forfeiture for the very claim is a forfeiture which cannot be saved by matter subsequent See 9 H. 5. 14. If Tenant for life be impleaded in a Writ of Right and joyns the Mise upon the meer Right it is a forfeiture Another Error was assigned Because where it is found that both the Defendants Disseisiverunt the Plaintiff but Spencer only with force and the Iudgment in the Assise of Freshforce was that ambo Capiantur where no force is found in Clark one of them yet such a Iudgment is good enough For the Assise have found a Ioynt Disseisin and that Clark was present at the said Force and then he particeps Criminis And of that Opinion were all the 3 Iustices And it way Objected That forasmuch as Clark is Convicted of force upon the matter for both ought to be taken therefore the Damages ought to be trebled against both And the Court was in some doubt of that But clearly the Incrementum shall be trebled as well as the Damages taxed by the Assise And after many Arguments the said Iustices moved the parties to a friendly course to compound the matter For if we reverse the Iudgment given in the Hustings Then Spencer may have his Writ of Error upon the Iudgment in the Assise of Freshforce sic infinite And afterwards the parties put themselves to the Mediation and Order of the said 3 Iustices who at length made an end of the matter betwixt the said parties CCXXI The Lady Newman and Shyriff's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Star-Chamber 4 Len. 25. THe Lady Newman Sister of James Wingfield lately deceased Exhibited a Bill of Complaint in the Star-Chamber against one Shyriff dwelling in Ireland and two others setting forth That the said Shyriff had forged a Deed purporting That the said James had by the same given to him all his goods and also that the said James had assigned to the said Shyriff a Lease for years of Lands in Ireland And also that the said Shyriff had procured the said two other Defendants to depose upon their Oath before the Town-Clerk of London That the said Deed was sealed and delivered by the said James as his Deed. It was moved by the Counsel of the Defendant's That these matters of Forgery are not within the Statute of 5 Eliz. nor also the Perjury or the procurement of it Whereupon the Lords of the Council referred the Consideration of the said Statute to both the Chief Iustices who the next Court-day declared their Opinions upon the said Matters 1. That the said Statute did not extend to forgery of a Deed conveying a gift of Chattels personals Which see by the Statute which as to that point extends but to Obligations Bills Obligatory Acquittance Release or other discharge And also a Deed of an Assignment of a Lease of Land in Ireland is not within the said Statute And also the said Iustices were of Opinion That this Perjury and the procurement of it is not punishable by the said Statute because the Oath was taken Coram non Judice For the Town-Clerk of London cannot minister an Oath in such case no more than a private person But because the Bill in the perclose and Conclusion of it was contrary to the Laws and Statutes of this Realm The said Chief Iustices were of Opinion That the said Court might punish those offences as misdemeanors at the Common Law but not according to the Statute And afterwards Shyriff paid for a Fine 3 l. and by Order of the Court was set in the Pillory CCXXII Middlemore's Case Mich. 29 Eliz.

And afterwards had Iudgment to recover And now the Defendant brought a Writ of Error in the Exchequer-Chamber and there the Opinion of the whole Court was That the said words were not actionable And the Case of one Egerton was remembred Thou art a Cosening Knave Coroner For thou hast Cosened me of my Land. The Plaintiff in that Case could not have Iudgment For he was not particularly charged in respect of his Office. And Note That in this Case of Error the Defendant pleaded an Outlawry in the Plaintiff and being barred in that he pleaded now an Excommengement in the Plaintiff and shewed the Letters of Excommunication Vpon which it appeared That the Plea was pleaded before the Outlawry was pleaded And it was Ruled by the whole Court That this Plea lieth not for the Defendant For he cannot have two Pleas to the person of the Plaintiff but where his second Plea is matter of later time since the first Plea And afterwards the said Iudgment was reversed CCXXIII.

In the Exchequer EManuel Barns Executor of Barns late Bishop of Durham 2 Len. 21. brought Debt for Arrearages of Rent reserved upon a Lease for years of certain Mines demised to Smith scil Mines called Argill and Mines called Greenbourn and it was against the Executors of Smith The Defendant pleaded as to parcel Non detinet and as to other parcel of the Arrears That in the Indenture of demise there is a Covenant Quod si contigerit that the said Lessee impeditus fuerit quominus Mineris praedict gaudere possit That then so much of Rent should be deducted amounting to the value of the Mines he could not enjoy c. And pleads in facto quod impeditus fuit quo minus gaudere potuit Mineris praedictis c. And it was found for the Plaintiff And it was moved by Cook in arrest of Iudgment That here is not any place shewed where these Mines were so as Non constat from what place the Visne shall come As if in an Action as here the Plaintiff Declares of a Lease made of Land called R. in
all which he lost c. Wray The Bishop shall joyn for Conformity of Law and for privity of Record and the Plea of the Bishop is not so strong as a Disclaymer For in case of a Disclaimer the Iudgment is That the Plaintiff shall take nothing by his Writ but in the case of the Bishop here the Iudgment is Quod querens recuperet praesentationem suam versus dictum Episcopum ad Ecclesiam praedictam See 35 H. 6. 4. Fitz. Error 35. And afterwards in the principal Case the Writ of Error was awarded good CCXXIX Williams and Linford's Case Trin. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. EDward Williams brought an Action upon the Case against Linford 2 Len. 111. for slanderous words concerning the Title of the Plaintiff's Lands viz. Williams is nothing worth and do you think that the Mannor of D. is his It is but a Compact betwixt his Brother Thomas and him And declared further That at the time of the speaking of these words there was a Communication with one J.S. to give the said J.S. the said Mannor of D. for his Mannor of R. and that by reason of the said slanderous words 1 Cro. 346.787 the said J.S. durst not proceed in the said intended exchange It was Objected That upon this matter an Action upon the Case did not lie because the slanderous words were not spoken to him who should be purchasor of the Lands but unto a stranger For in the Case betwixt Smith and Johnson Johnson was in speech with one to sell his Land to him and Smith said to him who should be the purchasor of them Will you buy Johnson's Land Why it is troubled with more Charges and Incumbrances then it is worth Wray There is not any difference be the words spoken to the parties or unto a stranger for in both Cases the Title of the Plaintiff is slandered so as he cannot make sale of it It was adjudged for the Plaintiff CCXXX Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. A Poor Woman brought an Action of Trespass for breaking of her Close and declared of a Continuance by 6 years And upon Nihil dicit had Iudgment to recover Vpon which a Writ of Enquiry of Damages issued forth and now came the Woman and shewed to the Court That the Iury had found too little Damages scil but 40 s. whereas the Land was worth 5 l. per annum and that the Trespass had been continued for 6 years and prayed that the said Writ might not be received and that the Court would award another Writ to have a better Enquiry of the Damages But the whole Court denyed it For so there might be infinite Enquiries But some time at the request of the Defendant when excessive Damages are found or any misdemeanour is alledged in the Plaintiff in procuring or using such a Writ of Enquiry of Damages We use to relieve the Defendant with a new Writ but never the Plaintiff because it is his own Act. And by Rhodes The late Countess of Darby brough a Writ of Dower and had Iudgment to recover and she surmised That her Husband died seised and prayed a Writ of Enquiry of Damages and had it And because too small Damages were found she would have suppressed the said Writ and procured another but she could not have it And at the last she was driven to bring in the said Writ Which she did accordingly CCXXXI Lawson and Hare's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 2 Len. 74. IN a Replevin by Lawson against Hare of the Temple who Avowed because he himself was seised of a Hundred And that he himself and all those whose Estate he hath in the said Hundred have used to hold a Leet within the said Hundred at such a place every year And that at every time such Leet should be holden The Inhabitants within the said Precinct have used to pay to the Lord of the Leet 16 d. for the Leet-Fee and that they have used to distrain for the same And shewed That at a Leet there holden 5 July 26 Eliz. c. The Plaintiff replyed absque hoc that they used to distrain And it was found for the Defendant And it was moved in arrest of Iudgment Because the Defendant in making his Title to the Leet by Prescription Conveys the Hundred to him by a Que Estate without shewing a Deed of it See 11 H. 4. 242. Quod fuit concessum per Anderson Windham Periam and Rhodes contrary But if the Hundred it self had been in Question then the Exception had been material but here the Defendant intitles himself to a thing by reason of the Hundred and then it is sufficient for him to say That he is seised of the Hundred be it by right or by wrong Admit That by this not shewing the Avowry be vitious and defective It is to be considered if it be not helped by the Statute of Jeofail's 1 Cro. 217.245 18 Eliz. And therefore it is to be considered If an Avowry be within the meaning of the said Statute Anderson Although that the Avowant be quasi an Actor to have a Retorn of the Cattel if the Distress be adjudged lawful yet in truth he is Defendant and not Plaintiff And if the Defendant will justifie the taking and not avow he is meerly Defendant And although that he avow to have a Retorn yet he cannot be said Plaintiff no more than the Tenant who voucheth over another to recover in value may be said Plaintiff And therefore an Avowry cannot be said a Count or Declaration but a Answer to the Count or Declaration Windham and Periam conceived That an Avowry is within the Statute For it comprehends title And an Answer to an Avowry is said a Bar to an Avowry and an Avowry is in the place of a Declaration Admitting That an Avowry is within the Statute If the not shewing of the Deed be such a defect which may be helped by the Statute Anderson conceived That it was But the Plaintiff might have demurred upon the Avowry for not shewing of the Deed and have had iudgment But when he hath traversed the Prescription as to the point of the distress and the same is found against him Now it shall be intended that the Avowant hath a Deed although he hath not shewed it Windham The Title of the Avowant to the Hundred is the Foundation and ground of the Suit for if the Avowant hath not a Deed to make him a sufficient title to the Hundred he cannot have the Leet and if no Leet then no Leet-Fee and then the Avowant hath no cause to distrain Another Exception was taken to the Avowry because the Avowant hath not shewed any Seisin of the Leet-Fee And by Periam Such a seisin ought to be shewed in some person certain For although it needs not always to lay a Seisin in shewing by whose hands the seisin was had for the Inhabitants are charged and no person certain yet the seisin ought to be

It is not alledged That the Wife had Goods of the Testator at the time of the promise for otherwise she shall not be bound For it is but Nudum pactum for Executors or Administrators not having Assets shall not be charged And it was holden here That Request is not necessary for the debt was before the promise so as the Request is not any cause of the Action CCLIII Matthews's Case Pasch 30 Eliz.

Whereas in truth he had not cut down any And it was holden by all the Iustices That for this matter the Bill did not lie upon this Statute For this branch of the Statute is to be intended of Perjury in Depositions only And by Tanfield A Bill doth not lie upon the Statute upon Perjury committed in an Answer to a Bill in Chancery See 41 Eliz.

IN Waste the Plaintiff declared upon a Lease for years generally and the truth of the Case was That the Plaintiff had made a Lease for years to one A. which Lease being in force for two years he Leased the same Lands for years as he hath declared to begin presently and the Waste which is assigned in the Declaration was done during the first Lease And now If the Defendant upon this matter might plead No waste done was the Question And it was said by the Court That such a plea should be perilous for the Defendant for it shall be found against him and if he pleadeth the special matter aforesaid scil The former Lease in esse at the time of the Waste committed after the expiration of which Lease no Waste was done If the second Lease be not by Indenture it should be a good Plea but if by Indenture then the Plaintiff would estop him by the Indenture to shew that the second Lease hath another beginning than the Indenture purports and then the Waste shall charge the Defendant And although the Plaintiff had not declared upon a Lease by Indenture yet if the Defendant pleaded the special matter aforesaid he by way of Replication shall estop the Defendant to plead any other beginning of the Term than the Letter of the Indenture doth purport and the same shall be no Departure for it is matter which strengtheneth the Declaration CCLVII Botham and the Lady Gresham's Case Pasch 30 Eliz.

AN Action upon the Statute of 5 Eliz. of Perjury was brought by three and they declared That the Defendant being examined upon his Oath before Commissioners If a Surrender was made at such a Court of such a Mannor of a Copyhold to the use of A. and B. Two of the Defendants swore That no such Surrender was made c. Exception was taken to the Declaration because that the certainty of the Copyhold did not appear upon the Declaration For the Statute is That in that case the party grieved shall have remedy so as it ought to appear in what thing he is grieved Quod fuit concessum per totam Curiam Another Exception was taken because that the Action in such case is given to the party grieved And it appeareth upon the Declaration That the surrender in the Negative deposing of which the perjury is assigned was made to the use of two of the Plaintiffs only and then the third person is not a party grieved For he claims nothing by the surrender and therefore and because the two parties grieved have joyned with the third person not grieved It was the Opinion of Wray and Southcote Iustices That the Writ should abate CIII Mich. 20 Eliz.

IN an Action upon Escape the Plaintiff is Nonsuit It was holden by the Iustices That the Defendant in that case shall not have Costs by the Statute of 23 H. 8. Note The words in the Statute upon any Action upon the Statute for any offence or wrong personal supposed to be done immediately to the Plaintiff Notwithstanding this Action is Quodam modo an Action within the Statute scil by equity of the Statute of Westm 2. which give expresly against the Warden of the Fleet Yet properly it is not an Action upon the Statute for that in the Declaration in such Action no mention is made of the Statute Which see the Book of Entries 169 171. And also here there is not supposed any immediate personal Offence or Wrong to the Plaintiff and an Action upon the Case it is not For then the Writ ought to make mention of the Escape which it doth not here And yet at the Common Law before the Statute of Westm 2. An Action upon the Case lay upon an Escape And so by the opinion of Dyer Manwood Mounson Iustices Costs are not given in this case and Manwood said That upon Nonsuit in an Action upon the Statute of 8 H. 6. The Defendant shall not have Costs 1 Len. 282. For that the same is not a Personal Wrong For the Writ is Disseisivit which is a real tort CV Mich. 20 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN Debt upon an Obligation to perform certain Covenants in a pair of Indentures The Plaintiff assigned the breach in one of the Covenants scil That the Defendant should do all reparations of such a House demised to him And that he had not repaired but suffered the same to decay To which the Defendant said That the
Parliament 35 H. 8. it was Enacted That the said Lady should hold part of her Inheritance and dispose of the same as a Feme sole and that the Marquess should have the Residue and that he might Lease the same by himself without his Wife for 21 years or less rendring the ancient Rent being Land which had been usually demised c. The Marquess Leased for 21 years and afterwards durante Termino praedict Leased the same Land to another for 21 years to begin after the determination of the first Lease It was moved in this Case That this last Lease was void and that for 3 Causes 1. Because the Marquess had but an Estate for life and then it could not be intended that the Statute did enable one who had but such an Estate determinable to make such a Lease which peradventure might not commence in his life-time 2. The Letter of the Statute is 21 years or under and the word Under strongly expounded the meaning of the Statute to be not to extend to such an Estate For here upon the matter is a Lease for 40 years 3. Because the Land demised is the Inheritance of the Wife And in this Case it was said That in the Case of one Heydon such a private Act was strictly construed which was That it was Enacted That all Copies for 3 Lives granted by the Lord Admiral of the Lands of his Wife should be good The Admiral granted Leases in Reversion for 3 Lives And it was holden That that Grant was not warranted by the Statute Dyer said The words are general Omnes dimissiones and therefore not to be restrained unto special Leases scil to Leases in possession Manwood said A Feme Covert by duresse joyns in a Lease with her Husband the same shall bind her CXI The Queen and Sir John Constables Case Hill. 20 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 5 Co. Constables Case A Quo Warranto was brought by the Queen against Sir John Constable who claimed certain Wreck in the County of York The Defendant pleaded That Edward Duke of Buck. was seised of such a Mannor to which he had Wreck appendant and that he was de alta proditione debito modo attinctus and that found before the Escheator And shewed further That the said Mannor descended to Queen Mary who granted the same to the Earl of Westmerland who granted the same to the Defendant Vpon which It was demurred And Exception was taken to the Plea because the Attainder is not fully and certainly pleaded It was argued by Plowden That the Attainder was certainly pleaded scil debito modo attinctus And it is shewed That the Wreck is appendant to the Mannor and then if the Defendant hath the Mannor he hath the Wreck also and if he hath the Mannor it is not material as to the Queen how he hath it for the Queen doth not claim the same but impeacheth the Defendant for using there such a Liberty But if the Heir of the said Duke had demanded the Mannor there against him the Attainder ought to have been pleaded certainly And it was said by him That the Interest of the Queen in the Sea extends unto the midst of the Sea betwixt England and Spain But the Queen hath the whole Iurisdiction of the Sea between England and France because she is Queen of England France c. And so it is of Ireland CXII Hill. 20 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. TEnant for life made a Feoffment of White-Acre of which he was seised for life and made a Letter of Attorny to deliver Livery and Seisin secundum formam Chartae before Livery the Tenant purchased the Fee and afterwards Livery was made It was resolved by the Court in this Case That all passed But if the Feoffment had been of all his Lands in D. and the Letter of Attorny accordingly and before Livery made the Feoffee had many Lands there If he purchased one Acre after the Livery should not extend to that Acre because the Authority was satisfied by the other Acre CXIII Banks and Thwaits Case Mich. 21 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action upon the Case the Case was That A. had pawned an Indenture of Lease for years of a Messuage and Lands to Banks Thwaits intending to purchase the same required Banks to deliver him the said Lease and he would give Banks 10 l. whether he bought it or no at what time he would request the 10 l. Post 200. And Banks delivered the same to Thwaits accordingly Post 200. And afterwards brought an Action upon the Case and declared upon the whole matter and concluded Licet saepius requisitus c. without alledging a request express in certain and the day and place of it It was said by Cook That here the monies did not grow due before Request nor is payable before Request and therefore a Request ought to be made in facto And so he said It was ruled in this Court in an Action upon the Case betwixt Palmer and Burroughs and he said that the Mony was not due by the Promise but by the Request And it was the Opinion of the whole Court That although it be a duty Yet it is not a duty payable before Request And the Request makes a Title to the Action But if A. selleth to B. a Horse for 10 l. there is a Contract and a Request in facto need not be layed And the Opinion of the Court was also That upon this matter the Plaintiff could not have an Action of Debt for there is not any Contract for the thing is not sold but it is a Collateral promise grounded upon the delivery And by Clench Here the Request is traversable And afterwards Iudgment was given against the Plaintiff And it was said It was so ruled in Alderman Pullisons Case in the Exchequer Post 201. CXIV Segar and Boyntons Case Mich. 21 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 2 Len. 156. IN Trespass the Case was this King Henry the 8th Anno 27 of his Reign gave the Mannor of D. to Sir Edward Boynton Knight and to the Heirs Males of his body Sir Edward Boynton had Issue Andrew his eldest Son and C. the Defendant his younger Son and died Andrew Boynton Covenanted by Indenture with the Lord Seymore that the said Andrew Boynton would assure the said Mannor to the use of himself for life the Remainder to the said Lord and his Heirs The said Lord Seymore in recompence thereof should assure other Lands to the use of himself for life the remainder to the use of the said Andrew Boynton in tail who 37 H. 8. levyed a Fine of the said Mannor without proclamations to two strangers to the uses according to the said Agreement and before any Assurance made by the said Lord The said Lord was Attainted of Treason and all his Lands were forfeited to the King And afterwards the said Andrew Boynton made a Suggestion to Queen Mary of the whole matter and upon his humble Petition the said

The Plaintiff hath declared of a Trespass done 1 Januarii 23 Eliz. The Defendant shews in Evidence a Lease for years to him made 14 Januarii the same year which is 13 days after the Trespass whereof the Plaintiff hath declared and it shall not be intended that the Plaintiff had another Title than that which he hath alledged and forasmuch as he hath not disclosed in himself any Title Tempore transgressionis the Plaintiff should punish him in respect of his first possession without any other Title And although it may be Objected That where the Defendant hath given in Evidence That Williamson leased to the Defendant that is not sufficient and the words subsequent 14 Januarii are void as a nugation and matter of surplusage Truly the Law is contrary for rather those words ante Transgressionem shall be void because too general and shall give way to the subsequent words after the videlicet because they are special and certain As the Case late adjudged The Archbishop of Canterbury leased three parcels of Land rendring Rent of 8 l. per annum viz. for one parcel 5 l. for another 50 s. and for the third 40 which amounts to 9 l. 10 s. It was adjudged That the videlicet and the words subsequent concerning the special reservation of the Rent was utterly void because contrary to the premisses which were certain viz. 8 l. and that the Fermor should pay but 8 l. according to the general reservation but in our case the words precedent are general i. e. ante Transgressionem and therefore the words subsequent which are special and certain shall be taken and the general words rejected As in Trespass the Defendant pleads That A. was seised of the Land where and held it of the Defendant and that the said A. 1 die Maii 6 Eliz. aliened the said Land in Mortmain for which he within a year after viz. 4 Maii Anno 7 Eliz. entred now the same is no bar for upon the evidence it appeareth that the Lord hath surceased his time and the words within the year shall not help him for they are too general and therefore at the subsequent words viz. c. Cook on the Defendants part took Exception For it appeareth here upon the Evidence of the Defendant which is confessed by the Demurrer of the Plaintiff That upon this matter the Plaintiff cannot punish the Defendant for this Trespass for he was not an immediate Trespassor to the Plaintiff for the Plaintiff hath declared upon a Trespass done 1 Januarii 23 Eliz. And it is given in Evidence on the part of the Defendant and confessed by the Plaintiff c. That 22 Eliz. Cordell Savell levied a Fine to Williamson by force of which the said Williamson entred and was seised and so seised 14 Januarii 23 Eliz. leased to the Defendant Now upon this matter the Plaintiff cannot have Trespass but the Defendant for Williamson was the immediate Trespassor to him for he entred 22 Eliz. And at length after deliberation had of the premisses by the Court The Court moved the Plaintiff to discontinue his suit and to bring de novo a new Action in which the matter in Law might come into Iudgment without any other Exception But the Plaintiff would not agree to it Wherefore it was said by Wray Chief Iustice with the consent of his Companions Begin again at your peril for we are all agreed That you cannot have Judgment upon this Action CXXVI Mich. 26 Eliz.

In the Kings Bench. LAmber Smith Executor of Tho. Smith brought an Action upon the Case against John Smith That whereas the Testator having divers Children Enfants and lying sick of a mortal sickness being careful to provide for his said Children Enfants The Defendant in Consideration the Testator would commit the Education of his Children and the disposition of his Goods after his death during the minority of his said Children for the Education of the said Children to him promised to the Testator to procure the assurance of certain Customary Lands to one of the Children of the said Testator And declared further That the Testator thereupon Constituted the Defendant Overseer of his Will and Ordained and appointed by his Will That his Goods should be in the disposition of the Defendant and that the Testator died and that by reason of that Will the Goods of the Testator to such a value came to the Defendants hands to his great profit and advantage And upon Non Assumpsit pleaded It was found for the Plaintiff And upon Exception to the Declaration in Arrest of Iudgment for want of sufficient Consideration It was said dy Wray Chief Iustice That here is not any benefit to the Defendant that should be a Consideration in Law to induce him to make this promise For the Consideration is no other but to have the disposition of the Goods of the Testator pro educatione Liberorum For all the disposition is for the profit of the Children and notwithstanding That such Overseers commonly make gain of such disposition yet the same is against the intendment of the Law which presumes every Man to be true and faithful if the contrary be not shewed and therefore the Law shall intend That the Defendant hath not made any private gain to himself but that he hath disposed of the Goods of the Testator to the use and benefit of his Children according to the Trust reposed in him Which Ayliffe Iustice granted Gawdy Iustice was of the contrary Opinion And afterwards by Award of the Court It was That the Plaintiff Nihil Capiat per Billam CXXVIII Amner and Luddington's Case Mich. 26 Eliz.

TRespass of Battery was brought by Partridge against Poole 2 Len. 79. 1 Cro. 842. and supposed the Battery at D. in the County of Middlesex The Defendant justified by reason of an Assault at S. in the County of Gloucester absque hoc that he beat the Plaintiff at D. in the County of Middlesex Vpon which traverse the Plaintiff did demur in Law. It was argued by Popham the Queens Attorny General That the traverse of the County is good And he put the Case of 21 H. 6. 8 9. In Trespass of Battery at D. in the County of York the Defendant justified by an Assault at London in such a place in such a Parish c. absque hoc that he was guilty de aliqua transgressione in Comitatu Eborum Vpon which issued a Venire facias into Yorkshire and as the Book is This traverse as to the County was taken with great deliberation See also 22 E. 4. 39.

In Actions upon transitory matters although they be layed in Forreign Counties yet the Iurors if they will may thereof give their Verdict but they are not bound to do it Egerton Sollicitor General to the contrary And he put a difference where the justification is local and where transitory As in False Imprisonment the Defendant justifies as Sheriff the taking of the Plaintiff by force of a Capias directed to him at D. within his County of G. Where the Plaintiff declareth of an Imprisonment in another County there the traverse of the County is good for the Defendant cannot take the Plaintiff by force of the said Process in any other County than where he is Sheriff and so the Iustification is local 11 H. 4. 157. But in our Case the matter of the Iustification is meerly transitory And at last after many Motions It was adjudged for the Plaintiff Gawdy Iustice being of a contrary Opinion And by Wray Chief Iustice clearly The Iurors upon pain of Attaint are to take notice of such a transitory thing done in another County See 2 Mar.

GErrard Master of the Rolls presented Chatterton Bishop of Chester to the Church of Bangor to which Church also one Chambers presented his Clerk by which several Presentments the same Church became Litigious The Archbishop of York being Ordinary of the place awarded Jure Patronatus c. depending which the Archbishop admitted the said Bishop upon which the said Chambers Libelled in the Spiritual Court against the said Bishop For that the said Archbishop praedicto Episcopo plus aequo fidens admisit dictum Episcopum pendente the Jure Patronatus in which Case by the Law of the Church the Admittance is void For pendente Lite nihil movetur And now came the said Bishop and upon this matter prayed a Prohibition and he had it because that the right of the Patronage came in debate After which came the said Chambers and prayed a Consultation because he medled not with the right of Patronage but only with the wrongful admittance To whom it was said by the Court That the awarding of the Jure Patronatus is not a thing of necessity but at the Will of the Ordinary and for his better Instruction But if he will at his peril take notice of the right of the Patronage he may receive which of them he will without a Jure Patronatus awarded And it may be in this Case That after the Jure Patronatus awarded and before any Verdict given upon it the Archbishop was satisfied of the right of the now Plaintiff in the Prohibition to the Patronage and thereupon admitted the Clerk And by the clear Opinion of the Court the Consultation was denyed CXLI Rampston and Bowmer's Case Trin. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action upon the Case the Plaintiff declared That whereas the Plaintiff occupied a Brew-House And whereas one Gilbert Bowmer was the Beer-Clark of it and had the government and disposition of the Beer brewed there by reason whereof he became indebted to the Plaintiff in such a sum For which the Plaintiff procured the said Gilbert to be Arrested and put into the Prison of the Marshalsey And whereas the said Gilbert in dicta prisona existente the Defendant tunc ibidem in Consideration that the said Plaintiff would let the said Gilbert out of Prison Promised That if the said Gilbert should not accompt with the Plaintiff and pay him all the Arrearages which upon such Accompt should be found before such a day That then the Defendant would pay it Vpon which the said Gilbert was dismissed ad largum And further declared That no Accompt had been made by Gilbert or any other satisfaction And upon Non Assumsipt the Iury found That the said Gilbert so endebted to the Plaintiff was arrested at the Suit of the Plaintiff and that after the Defendant came unto the Baily of the Marshal who arrested the said Gilbert and took upon him to the said Baily That the said Gilbert should be at the next Court holden for the said Marshalsey by force and reason of which promise the Baily suffered the said Gilbert to go at large to his House c. and that after and before such Court the Defendant promised the Plaintiff modo forma as the Plaintiff had surmised in his Declaration And upon that Verdict the Plaintiff could not have Iudgment For here the Consideration layed in the Declaration is not found by the Verdict For Gilbert was discharged of the Imprisonment before the promise of the Defendant to the Plaintiff And the Declaration is That in Consideration quod dictus Gilbertus ad largum dimitteretur c.

And afterwards a Commission shall issue forth for to enquire of the Mean profits and there the Defendant may shew this matter in taking of the damages And if the Intrusion be at any time in the Information it is sufficient enough to have Iudgment upon it and in our Case the Continuance is laid 18 May. Egerton Sollicitor The Record warrants the Iudgment given upon it For possession laid in the Queen is sufficient to this Information And here Payn doth not answer the Queens title but traverseth the Intrusion And therefore he being found Intrudor by Verdict Iudgment ought to be given upon it For the Iury have found the Intrusion generally and specially 17 May. And that cannot be assigned for Error for it is part of the Verdict of which Error doth not lie but Attaint For if any Error was it was in the Iury and not in the Court. Which Manwood Concessit Tanfield As to the Case of Continuance of an Intrusion it is clear That every continuance ought to have a beginning for a thing which hath no beginning cannot be continued and here is not any beginning for the beginning which is laid in the Information is pretended to be 17 May and that cannot be causa qua supra Popham If an Information be brought of an Intrusion where in truth there is not any Record to prove it and the Iury find the Intrusion shall you have a Writ of Error upon it And every continuance of Intrusion is an Intrusion This Matter had been good Evidence to the Iury.

In the Exchequer SIr John Southwel of the County of Lanc. 7 July 2 Len. 132. 19 Eliz. made a Conveyance of all his Land to divers Feoffees and their Heirs upon Condition That they should find him and his Wife and so many persons in his House c. prefer his Daughters in Marriage pay his Debts c. And if there fell out at the years end upon Accompt made by the Feoffees any surplusage that then at the end of every such year they should answer such surplusage as should then remain in their hands unexpended of the Rents and Profits of his said Lands with Clause of Revocation c. Afterwards the said Conveyance being in force came the Statute of 23 Eliz. concerning Recusants Vpon which Statute the said Southwel was now Indicted And afterwards a Commission issued out of the Exchequer to the Sheriff of Lancast to enquire of the Lands of the saith Southwel And although against the said Conveyance it was given in Evidence That after that Conveyance the said Sir John Southwel had granted Trees out of the said Lands and had taken Fines and Incomes for Leases c. Yet the Iurors charged to enquire would not find That the said Sir John had any Lands c. And by special Commandment of the Queen it was referred out of the Exchequer to all the Iustices of England If the Lands of the said Sir John Southwel contained ut supra were subject to the said Statute and the penalties thereof And upon great deliberation had It was by them all Resolved and Agreed That notwithstanding that Conveyance the said Lands were lyable to the said Statute And as to the Iurors which against their Evidence given unto them for the Qeeen gav their Verdict ut supra process was awarded against them out of the said Court for to appear before the Lord Treasurer and the Barons of the Exchequer And for their said Contempt they were committed to the Fleet and each of them fined 20 l.

And the general words in the plea scil Sed illis rectum teneatur intra Civitatem praedictam secundum Consuetudinem Civitatis praedict did not supply the defect aforesaid After It was awarded by the Court That the Tenant answer further c.

Citizen of the said City Now came the Mayor and Communalty of the said City and shewed their Charter granted to them by King E. 6. and demanded Conusans of Pleas. And by the Award of the whole Court the Conusans shall not be granted because that the Priviledge of this Court whereof the Plaintiff is a principal Member is more antient than the Patent upon which the Conusans is demanded For the Iustices Clarks and Attornies of this Court ought to be here attending to do their Offices and Services as belongs unto them and shall not be impleaded or compelled to implead others elsewhere than in this Court. And this Priviledge was given to this Court upon the Original Erection of it And such was the Opinion of the whole Court.

Post 192. 230. 1 Len. 219. 1 Len. 302. brought an Action of Accompt against Robston and Declared That one Mountford by the hands of Jo. Wase had delivered 100l to the Defendant pro relevamine of the said Arthur and Anne The Defendant pleaded Ne unque Receiver pur accompt render Vpon which they were at Issue And Iudgment was given That the Defendant should accompt Who before Auditors assigned alledged That he had expended the said 100l in the Education of the said Arthur and Anne by the space of 8 years after the delivery of the said 100l Vpon which they were at Issue And upon Evidence it was shewed on the Plaintiffs part That heretofore the said Arthur brought a Writ of Accompt against the said Robston as Guardian in Socage for the Land of the said Arthur discended And upon the
and his diet for himself his servants and horses Vpon which the Debt in demand grew but the said Young was not at any price in certain with the Defendant nor was there ever any agreement made betwixt them for the same It was said by Anderson Chief Iustice That upon that matter an Action of Debt did not lie And therefore afterwards the Iury gave a Verdict for the Defendant CCXI. Heidon and Ibgrave's Case Hill. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 1 And. 148. A Writ of Right was brought by Heidon against Ibgrave and he demanded the third part of 40 Acres of Land in the County of Hertford and they were at Issue upon the meer Right Vpon which the Grand Assise appeared And first the 4 Knights were specially sworn to say upon their Oath Whether the Tenant hath better right to hold the Land than the Demandant to demand it And afterwards the rest of the Iurors were sworn generally as in other Actions And there was some doubt made Whether the Demandant or the Tenant should first begin to give Evidence And at the last it was Ruled by the Court That the Tenant should begin because he is in the affirmative And it was said by Periam Iustice That so it was late adjudged in the Case betwixt Noell and Watts And upon the Evidence the Case was That King Hen. the 8th by his Letters Patents gave to the Demandant the Mannor of New-Hall and all the Lands in the Tenure and Occupation of John Whitton before demised to Johnson and in the Parish of Watford And the truth was That the said 40 Acres whereof now the third part was in demand were in the Occupation of the said John Whitton but were never demised to Johnson nor in the Parish of Watford And by the clear Opinion of the Court the said 40 Acres did not pass for the circumstances of the Deed are not true scil the Demise to Johnson and the being in the Parish of Watford but both were false But if the said Land had had an especial name in the Letters Patents then it had been well enough notwithstanding the misprision in the rest And by Anderson If upon the particular it had appeared that the Demandant had paid his Mony for the said 40 Acres peradventure they had passed CCXII. The Dean of Gloucester's Case Hill. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Dean and Chapter of Gloucester brough a Writ of Partition against the Bishop of Gloucester upon the Statute of 32 H. 8. of Partition And it was moved That upon the words of the Statute that the Action did not lie in this Case for the Statute doth not extend but to Estates in Ioynt-Tenancy or in Common of Lands whereof such Ioynt-Tenants or Tenants in Common are seised in their own right And also it is further said That every such Ioynt-Tenant or Tenant in Common and their Heirs shall have Aid to deraign the warranty without speaking of the word Successors And by Periam and Windham Iustices The Writ doth not lie But Anderson seemed to be of a contrary Opinion CCXIII. Hare and Meller's Case Hill. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. HUgh Hare of the Inner-Temple brought an Action upon the Case against Philip Meller and declared Ante 138. That the said Defendant had exhibited to the Queen a scandalous Bill against the Plaintiff charging the said Hugh to have recovered against the said Defendant 400 l. by Forgery Perjury and Forswearing and Cosenage And also that he had published the matter of the said Bill at Westm c. It was said by the Court That the exhibiting of the Bill to the Queen is not in it self any cause of Action for the Queen is the Head and Fountain of Iustice and therefore it is lawful for all her Subjects to resort to her to make their complaints But if a Subject after the Bill once exhibited will divulge the matter comprised in it to the disgrace and discredit of the person intended the same is a good cause of Action And so was the Case of Sir John Conway who upon such matter did recover And as to the words themselves It seemeth to the Court That they are not Actionable For it is not expresly shewed That the Plaintiff had used Perjury Forgery c. And it may be that the Attorny or Sollicitor in the Cause hath used such indirect means the Plaintiff not knowing it and in such case the Plaintiff hath recovered by Forgery c. and yet without reproach And by perjury he could not recover for he could not be sworn in his own Cause And Stanhops Case was remembred by the Court which was That Edward Stanhop of Grays-Inn brought an Action upon the Case against one who had Reported That the said Edward Stanhop had gained his Living by swearing and forswearing And by the Opinion of the Court The Action did not lie for those words do not set forth any actual forswearing in the person of the Plaintiff but it might be in an Action depending between the Plaintiff and a stranger that another stranger produced as a Witness had made a false Oath without any procurement or practice of the Plaintiff in which Case it might be that the Plaintiff had gained by such swearing CCXIV. Cheverton's Case Hill. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas.

And now B. brought an Action of Accompt against the Executors of the said A. as Executors of their own wrong The Defendants pleaded That they had Letters of Administration committed to them by the Ordinary and demanded Iudgment of the Writ The Plaintiff in maintenance of his Writ Replyed That the Defendants did Administer of their own wrong before that Administration was granted unto them Vpon which the Defendants did demur in Law. It was the Opinion of some of the Iustices That the wrong is urged by taking of Letters of Administration and now they are to be charged as Administrators only and not otherwise See 50 E. 3. 9. 20 H. 6. 1. And see the Case of the Cardinal of Canterbury 9 E. 4. 33. If one Administreth of his own wrong and afterwards takes Letters of Administration he shall be sued not as Executor but as Administrator See 21 H. 6. 8. But Gawdy Iustice conceived That the Defendants might be charged as Executors As to the Grant of the Queen of this Action of Accompt See Br. Pat. 98. 32 H. 8. that the King may grant a thing in action which is personal as debt and damages or the like Or a thing mixt as the Wardship of the body but not a thing real as an Action concerning Lands Rights Entries But it was agreed on all sides That if this Action had been granted specially it had been clearly good And it was Observed That in the principal Case the Accomptant was dead before the Grant so that his Executors were chargeable to the Queen to render an Accompt and the Queen was entituled to it It hath been Objected That this Action of Accompt came to the King by reason of his Prerogative Royal and in vertue thereof the Executors are accomptable to her and therefore the Queen cannot grant the same over to a Subject Certainly the same is not an Incident inseparable from the Crown nor a Flower of the Crown as the King cannot grant over to a Subject power to pardon Felons for that is proper and peculiar to the person of the King nor that a Subject may have a Court of Chancery And although this matter of Accompt is at the first i. e. at the time of the Grant uncertain yet by matter ex post facto it may be reduced to certainty i.e. by the Accompt and although the Accompt be not expresly named in the Letters Patents yet the words of the Grant ut supra do amount to as much And Gawdy Iustice conceived That this Accompt ought to be brought in the name of the Queen And all the Iustices were of Opinion That if the said A. had been living at the time of the said Grant of the Queen the Grant had not been good for then the Action against the Executors which is the matter of Prerogative had not been vested in the Queen CCLI Specot's Case Mich. 30 Eliz.

And upon the Retorn of this Office came one Heighgate and shewed That the said Rush 16 Eliz. was possessed of the said Lease and the same year assigned the same to the said Heighgate and traversed the Office. Exception was taken to the Inquisition Because that the Lease is not certainly set forth scil the number of the years in certainty Cook The Office is sufficient enough notwithstanding this Exception for the Queen is a stranger to the Lease and therefore she shall not be driven to set forth the certainty See 7 E. 6.

Partridge's Case upon the Statute of 32 H. 8. concerning pretended Titles c. there the Informer declared That ihe Defendant had Leased Lands for years against the said Statute c. without shewing the number of the years and the Information was holden good enough for it is impossible that a stranger have notice of every certainty c. and it is dangerous to meddle with such a particular certainty of the Lease and to miss it And in this Case for as much as Heighgate comes to this Lease not by voluntary Contract but by compulsory means scil by Execution upon the Statute he cannot by common Intendment have notice of every particular Circumstance and Article of the Lease as he may in case of a voluntary Contract And also although in pleading the number of the years ought to be expressed yet in an Inquisition such precise pleading is not requisite See 15 H. 7. 7.

former Lease determined And as to the Attornment it was given in Evidence That B. after the notice of the Grant to C. had speech with C. to have a new Lease from him because he had in his Term but 8 years to come but they could not agree upon the price And it was the Opinion of the Iustices That the same was an Attornment because he had admitted the said C. to have power to make to him a new Lease Also the said B. being in Company with one R. and seeing the said C. coming towards him said to the said R. See my Landlord meaning the said C. Bromley Sollicitor The same is no Attornment being spoken to a Stranger Barham contrary Because that C. was present And it was holden to be a good Attornment But if that Attornment was not before that the Bishop was translated to Winchester the Lease should be void And although the Confirmation of the Dean and Chapter was before the Attornment so as no Estate was vested in C. yet it was good enough For an assent of the Dean and Chapter is sufficient be it before or after as it was holden by Catline Southcote and Whiddon But Wray contrary XCI Norwich and Norwich's Case Trin. 18 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. HEnry Norwich was bound by Obligation to Symon Norwich upon Condition To stand to the Award of J.S. who awarded That the said Henry should pay to Symon 150 l. at such a day And that the said Henry should find 3 Sureties to be bounden with him to the said Symon for the payment of another sum of Mony to the said Symon In Debt upon this Obligation Henry pleaded As to the 150 l. payment and as to the other point That he was always ready to become bounden c. And as to the finding of Sureties he demanded Iudgment for that as to that the Arbitrament is void See 22 H. 6. 45. 17 E. 4. 5. 21 E. 4. 75. It was holden That in such a case of such Award to find Sureties the Defendant is not to find Sureties but is only to tender his Obligation And of that Opinion was the whole Court Because it was an Act to be done by a stranger to the Award But if the Award had been of an Act to be done to a stranger by him who was party to the Award then the Award had been good But if the stranger will not accept of the Monies awarded his Obligation is saved So if the Award be That one of the parties to the Award shall discontinue a Suit which he hath against another If the Court where the Action is depending will not suffer the discontinuance of it the Award is performed And in the principal Case It was ruled accordingly Note The same day another Case was in the same Court Between Dudley and Mallery The Condition was to perform an Award c. The Defendant pleaded performance of the Award The Plaintiff assigned the breach of the Award in this because the Award was That the Servant of Mallery should pay to the Servant of Dudley 5 l. which the Defendant had not paid It was the Opinion of the Court That the Bond was not forfeited for the Servants utriusque are strangers to the Submission But if the Award had been That Mallery should pay to the Servant of Dudley 5 l. it had been good for that Mallery is a party to the Submission c.

IN Debt upon an Obligation by Potkin The Defendant pleaded That he himself borrowed of one Watson a certain sum of Mony paying for the forbearance thereof excessive Vsury And that the Plaintiff was bound with the said Defendant to the said Watson for the payment thereof and that he himself by this Obligation upon which the Action is brought was bound to the said Plaintiff to save him harmless against the said Watson c. And because that this Bond was a Counter-Bond for the payment of Excessive Vsury c. And it was holden by Manwood That the same was a good Bar for here the Plaintiff when he was impleaded upon the principal Bond might have discharged himself upon this matter and therefore his Lachess shall turn to his prejudice and therefore the Issue was joyned upon the excessive Vsury XCIV Abrahall and Nurse's Case Hill. 19 Eliz.

IN an Ejectione firmae the Case was That the Master and Scholars of Linckford were seised of the Mannor of Haldesley in the Town of Laberhurst which Town extended into the County of Sussex and also in the County of Kent and they made a Lease to one Clifford of all their Lands in the Town of Laberhurst except the Mannor of Haldesley whereas in truth
they had not any Lands in the said Town but the said Mannor And the Ejectione firmae was brought of that Mannor in Kent and from thence the Visne came and all the special matter aforesaid was found by Verdict And Exception was taken to the Verdict because they have found generally That the Master and Scholars had not any thing in the said Town of Laberhurst but the said Mannor Whereas they ought to have said That they had not any thing in the said Town in the County of Kent For they could not take notice what Lands the Master and Scholars had in that part of the Town which was in the County of Sussex And of that Opinion the whole Court seemed to be But Quaere of it for it was adjourned XCVI Hinde and Lyons Case Mich. 19 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. Post 70. Dyer 124. 2 Len. 11. IN Debt by Hinde against one as Son and Heir of Sir John Lyon who pleaded Nothing by descent but the third part of the Mannor of D. the Plaintiff replyed Assets and shewed for Assets That the Defendant had the whole Mannor of D. by descent Vpon which they were at Issue And it was given in Evidence to the Iury That the said Mannor was holden by Knights-Service And that the said Sir John the Ancestor of c. by his Will in writing Devised the whole Mannor to his Wife until the Defendant his Son and Heir should come to the age of 24 years And that at the age of his Son of 24 years his Wife should have the third part of the said Mannor for her life and his Son should have the residue And if that his said Son do die before he come to his said age of 24 years without Heir of his body that the Land should remain to J.S. the remainder over The Devisor died The Son came to the age of 24 years The Question was If the Son had an Estate in tail for then for two parts he was not in by descent And it seemed to Dyer and Manwood That here was not any Estate in tail for no tail shall rise if not that the Son die before his said age and therefore the tail shall never take effect and the Fee-simple doth descend and remain in the Son unless that he dieth before the age of 24 years and then the Estate vests with the remainder over but now having attained to the said age he hath the Fee and that by descent of the entier Mannor and then his Plea is false That but the third part descended And a general Iudgment shall be given against him as of his own Debt And an Elegit shall issue forth of the moyety of all his Lands as well those which he hath by descent from his Ancestor as his other Lands And a Capias also lieth against him But Manwood Iustice conceived That if a general Iudgment be given against the Heir by default in such cause a Capias doth not lie although it lieth in case of a false Plea. Dyer contrary And the Writ against the Heir is in the debet detinet which proves That in Law it is his own Debt And he said That he could shew a President where such an Action was maintainable against the Executors of the Heir XCVII Mich. 19 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was A. seised of Lands in Fee 2 Len. 154. Hob. 285. Dyer 329. by his Will in writing granted a Rent-Charge of 5 l. per annum out of the same to his younger Son towards his education and bringing up in Learning The Question was If in pleading the Devisee ought to aver That he was brought up in Learning And it was holden by Dyer Manwood and Mounson Iustices That there needs no such Averment for the Devise is not Conditional and therefore although he be not brought up in Learning yet he shall have the Rent And the words of the Devise are Towards his bringing up And the Devisor well knew that 5 l. per annum would not and could not reach to maintain a Scholar in Learning Diet Apparel and Books And this Rent although it be not sufficient to such intent yet the Son shall have it And by Dyer Three years past such Case was in this Court scil Two were bounden to stand to the Award of certain persons Who awarded That the one of them should pay unto the other 20 s. per annum during the Term of 6 years towards the education and bringing up of such an Enfant and within two years of the said Term the Enfant died so as now there needed not any supply towards his Education Yet it was holden That the said yearly sum ought to be paid for the whole Term after For the words Towards his Education are but to shew the intent and consideration of the payment of that sum and are not the words of a Condition XCVIII Mich. 19 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Quare Impedit The Plaintiff declared That the Defendant was seised in Fee of the Mannor of Orchard alias Lydcots-Farm to which the Advowson is appendant and presented such a one c. And afterwards leased to the Plaintiff the said Mannor per nomen of the Mannor of Orchard alias Lydcots-Farm with the appurtenances for 21 years and the Church became void c. And the truth of the Case was That there is the Mannor of Orchard and within the said Mannor the said Farm called Lydcots Farm parcel of the said Mannor and the Lease was of the said Farm and not of the said Mannor and so the Advowson remained to the Lessor as appendant to the Mannor In this Case It was moved What thing the Defendant should traverse Dyer He shall say That the Advowson is appendant to the Mannor of Orchard absque hoc that it is appendant to the Farm of Lydcots But it seemed to Manwood That the Defendant shall say That the Advowson is appendant to the Mannor of Orchard and that the Farm of Lydcots is parcel of the said Mannor and that he Leased to the Plaintiff the said Farm with the appurtenances absque hoc that the Mannor of Orchard and the said Farm are all one For if he traverse the Appendancy to the Farm of Lydcots then he confesseth That the Mannor and Farm are all one c. But Dyer doubted of it XCIX Kirlee and Lees Case Mich. 19 20 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN Action upon the Case upon Assumpsit the Plaintiff declared That the Defendant in Consideration that the Plaintiff would marry the Daughter of the Defendant did promise to find to the Plaintiff and his said Wife convenient apparel meat and drink for themselves and two servants and Pasture also for two Geldings by the space of 3 years when the Plaintiff would require it And further shewed That Licet the Plaintiff had married the Defendants Daughter and that he had required the Defendant to find ut supra c. the Defendant refused c. The Defendant
Plaintiff had acquitted and discharged him of the Reparations Vpon which the Plaintiff demurred in Law. Manwood The same is an Acquittal and Discharge of the Reparations as well for the time past as for the time to come by force of the said Covenant and amounts to as much as if he had Released the Covenant And it was moved If the Covenant being broken for want of Reparations If now that Acquital and Discharge or Release of the Covenant should take away the Action upon the Obligation which was once forfeited before And it was the Opinion of Manwood That it should not For if one be bound in an Obligation for the performance of Covenants and before the breach of any of them the Obligee releaseth the Covenants and afterwards one of the Covenants is broken the Obligation is not forfeited for there is not now any Covenant which may be broken and therefore the Obligation is discharged But if the Release had been after the Covenant broken otherwise all which Dyer and Mounson Concesserunt CVI.

DEbt by Hinde against one as Son and Heir of Sir John Lyon who pleaded Nothing by descent but the third part of the Mannor of D. The Plaintiff replyed Assets And shewed for Assets That the Defendant had the entire Mannor of B. by descent Vpon which they were at Issue And it was given in Evidence to the Iury That the Mannor was holden by Knights-Service and that the said Sir John the Ancestor of the Defendant by his Will in writing devised the whole Mannor to his Wife until the Defendant his Son and Heir should come to the age of 24 years And that at the age of the Son of 24 years his Wife should hold the third part of the said Mannor for the Term of her life and his Son should have the residue And if his Son do die before he come to the age of 24 years without Heir of his body that the Land should remain over to J.S. the Remainder over to another The Devisor died the Son came to the age of 24 years Dyer and Mounson Iustices conceived That here was not any Estate tail and then for two parts he is not in by descent For no Estate tail shall rise unless that the Son dieth before his said age and therefore the Tayl never took effect and the Feesimple descends and remains in the Son if not that he dieth before the age of 24 years and then the whole vests with the Remainder over but now having attained the said age he hath a Fee and that by descent of the whole Mannor and then his Plea is false that but the third part descended And a general Iudgment shall be given against him as of his own debt And an Elegit shall issue forth of the moyety of all his Lands as well those which he hath by descent from the same Ancestor as of his other Lands And a Capias lieth also against him But Manwood Iustice conceived That if a general Iudgment be given against the Heir by default in such case a Capias doth not lie although in case of a false Plea it lieth But Dyer held the contrary And the Writ against the Heir is in the debet detinet which proves That in Law it is his own Debt And he said That he could shew a President where such an Action was maintainable against the Executor of the Heir CVIII Hill. 20 Eliz.

THe Lessor Covenanted with his Lessee That the Lessee should enjoy the Lands demised without any lawful Eviction And afterwards upon a Suit depending in Chancery by a stranger against the Lessor for the Land demised The Chancellor made a Decree against the Lessor and that the stranger should have the Land. It was moved If that Decree were a lawfull Eviction by which the Covenant was broken It was holden by the Lord Dyer That the same was not any Eviction For although that in Conscience it be aequum that the said stranger have the possession yet the same is not by reason of any right paramount the title of the Lessor which was in the party for whom it was decreed CX The Marquess of Northamptons Case Hill. 20 Eliz.

PArre Marquess of Northampton took to Wife the Lady Bouchier the Heir of the Earl of Essex 1 Roll. 430. who levied a Fine of the Land of the said Lady Sur Conusans de droit c. with a Grant and render to them for life the Remainder to the right Heirs of the body of the Lady And afterwards by Act of
him any other surety for his Debt he is contented so to do And John Stampe offered to the said P. the said B. and C. and he accepted the same and at the request of the said John Stampe granted his Interest to them 2 Feb. 22 Eliz. P. having notice of the Grant before made to the said G. Vpon which G. enformed against P. upon the Statute of 32 H. 8. It was holden in this Case by Periam and Meade Iustice That P. was not within the penalty of the Statute For P. granted his Interest to B. and C. at the suit and at the request of John Stampe who was the Mortgager for assurance of his Debt which he ought to them And therefore it shall not be intended that that Grant was made for any maintenance or for any unlawful cause against the Statute And also John Stampe who granted unto P. had possession and received the Issues and Profits of the said Lands for a whole year before the Grant notwithstanding that he was not in possession by a whole year next before the day of the date of the Grant.

As if a Man be in possession or hath received the Issues and Profits for a whole year and afterwards a stranger enters upon him and hath the possession for the space of a Quarter of a year or half a year yet he who was in possession by a year before may grant his Interest without danger of the Statute c.

In the Common Pleas. WAste was brought by F. and his Wife against Pepy and declared That the said Pepy was seised and enfeoffed certain persons to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of the Wife of the Plaintiff and her Heirs The Defendant pleaded That the said Feoffment was to the use of himself and his Heirs in Fee c. absque hoc that it was to the uses as in the Count Vpon which they were at Issue And it was found by Verdict That the said Feoffment was to the uses contained in the Count but further found That the Estate of the Defendant by the Limitation of the use was priviledged with the impunity of Waste scil without Impeachment of Waste It was moved If upon that Verdict The Plaintiff should have Iudgment Anderson and Rhodes Iustices conceived That he should for that the matter in Issue is found for the Plaintiff and that is the Feoffment to uses contained in the Count and this impunity of Waste is a Forreign matter not within the Charge of the Iury and therefore the finding of the same is but matter of surplusage As if I plead a Feoffment of J.

Vpon which Issue was taken And it was found That neither the Tenant nor he who prayed to be received had any thing in the Land. And in that Case The Court did not regard the matter which was superfluous in the Verdict For they were at Issue upon a point certain scil whether the Tenant was seised in Fee For it is confessed of the one side and of the other that he had an Estate for life and of that matter the Iury was not charged and they are not to enquire of that And so it is found against the Demandant by which the Resceit was granted See 7 H. 6. 20.

IN a Formedon of a Mannor The Tenant pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy by Fine with J.S. The Demandant averred the Tenant sole Tenant as the Writ supposed and upon that it was found and tryed for the Demandant Vpon which a Writ of Error was brought and Error assigned in this Because where Ioynt-Tenancy is pleaded by Fine the Writ ought to have abated without any Averment by the Demandant against it and the Averment had been received against Law c. Shuttleworth At the Common-Law If the Tenant had pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy by Deed the Writ should have abated without any Averment but that was remedied by the Statute of 34 E. 1. But Ioynt-Tenancy by Fine doth remain as it was at the Common Law For he hath satis supplicii because by his Plea if it be false he hath by way of Conclusion given the moyety of the Land in demand to him with whom he hath pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy And the Law shall never intend that he would so sleightly depart with his Land for the abatement of a Writ As in a Praecipe quod reddat the Tenant confesseth himself to be a Villein of a stranger the Writ shall abate without any Averment Free and of Free estate for the Law intends that the Tenant will not inthral himself without cause Wray to the same purpose But the Demandant may confess and avoid the Fine as to say That he who levied the Fine was his Disseisor upon whom he hath before entred And if Tenant in Feesimple be impleaded and he saith That he is Tenant for life the remainder over to A. in Fee and prayeth in Aid of A. the Demandant shall not take Averment That the Tenant at the time of the Writ brought was seised in Fee. Note In this Formedon Ioynt-Tenancy was pleaded but as to parcel And it was holden by Wray and Southcote That the whole Writ should abate the whole Writ against all the Defendants And so where the Demandant enters into parcel of the Land in demand if the thing in demand be an entire thing the Writ shall abate in all In this Writ the Demandant ought to have averred in his Writ an especial foreprise of the Land parcel of the Land in demand whereof the Ioynt-Tenancy by the Fine is pleaded For this dismembring of the Mannor and distraction of the Land of which the Ioynt-Tenancy is pleaded is paravail and under the gift whereof the Formedon is conceived and therefore in respect of the title of the Demandant it remains in right parcel of the Mannor and therefore ought to be demanded accordingly with a foreprise But if A. giveth unto B. a Mannor except 10 Acres in tail there if after upon any Discontinuance the issue in tail is to have a Formedon in such case there needs not any foreprise for the said 10 Acres for they were severed from the Mannor upon the gift But if Lands in demand be several as 20 Acres except 2 Acres this foreprise is not good See Temps E. 1. Fitz. Brief 866. Praecipe c. unam bovatam terrae forprise one Sellion and the Writ was abated for every demand ought to be certain but a Sellion is but a parcel of Land uncertain as to the quantity in some places an Acre in some more in some less Another Point was Because the Tenant hath admitted and accepted this Averment scil sole Tenant as the Writ supposeth And the Question was If the Court notwithstanding the Admittance of the Tenant ought without Exception of the party Ex Officio to abate the Writ And it was the Opinion of Wray Chief Iustice That it should For it is a positive Law As if a Woman bring an Appeal of Murder upon the death of her Brother and the Defendant doth admit it without a Challenge or Exception yet the Court ought to abate the Appeal 10 E. 4. 7. See the principal Case there Non ideo puniatur Dominus c.

IN a Writ of Partition The Defendant demanded Iudgment of the Writ because the Writ is Quare-cum A. teneat c. pro indiviso c 4 mille acras whereas it should be Quatuor Mille acrarum And many Grammarians were cited all which agreed That it was good both ways viz. Mille Acras or Mille Acrarum And Rhodes Iustice said That Cowper in Thesauro suo Linguae Latinae saith Quod Mille fere jungitur Genitivo Ergo non semper Wherefore Anderson with the assent of the other Iustices Ruled
Williams and declared Whereas one J. had affirmed a Plaint of Debt against the Plaintiff in the Queens Court of her Mannor of D. in the County of Cornwall and demanded against him 100 l. And whereas the Defendant now Plaintiff sued a Corpus cum Causa c. and delivered the same to the now Defendant being then Vnder-Steward of the said Court That notwithstanding that the now Defendant proceeded to Iudgment and awarded Execution against the Plaintiff and his Sureties by force of which the Goods of the Plaintiff and of his Sureties were taken in Execution Vpon which Declaration the Defendant demurred in Law because the Iudgment was given in a Court-Baron which could not hold plea above the sum of 40 s. And notwithstanding that Exception and notwithstanding also that the Action was brought against the Vnder-Steward c. The Plaintiff had Iudgment to Recover CXLIV Denton and Goddard's Case Pasch 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. DEbt was brought against Denton Administrator of the Goods and Chattels of James Newton and the Plaintiff declared upon an Obligation made to the Intestate bearing date the 4th day of April 24 Eliz. The Defendant prayed Oyer of the Deed and Condition and then pleaded to the Action For he said That the aforesaid James Newton ante Confectionem praedicti suppositi scripti scilicet ultimo die Septembris 23 Eliz. apud N. obiit and so Non est factum c. The Iury found That the said Deed was delivered to the Intestate 3 July 23 Eliz. in the life of the Intestate bearing date 24 Aprilis 24 Eliz. before which day the Intestate died And upon the whole matter Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff CXLV Lichfield and Gage's Case Pasch 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 2 Len. 167. IN an Ejectione firmae the parties were at Issue And by Order of the Court the Tryal was stayed And yet the Plaintiff against the Order obtained privily a Nisi Prius Vpon which Gawdy Iustice being informed of it after the Term awarded a Supersedeas to the Iustices of Assise before whom c. And notwithstanding that the Enquest at the Instance of the Plaintiff was taken and found for the Plaintiff All this matter was shewed to the Court in the Kings Bench and there examined and proved And it was Ordered by the Court That the Verdict should not be entred of Record nor any Iudgment upon it And so was it put in execution in a Case between Vernon and Fowler And then the Counsel moved and took Exception to the Supersedeas because it was not subscribed by the hand of Iustice Gawdy But it was not allowed because his Seal was sufficient CXLVI Fuller and Cook 's Case Pasch 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 1 Roll. 111. IN an Action upon the Case the Plaintiff declared That the Defendant had informed one Tho. Colby a Iustice of the Peace That the Plaintiff had stollen the Defendants Hoggs By force of which the said Colby ad Querimoniam Defendentis made a Warrant and directed it to the Constable of H. to apprehend the Plaintiff and to bring him before the said Colby By force of which the Plaintiff was Arrested and brought before the said Colby and there was examined upon the said matter and bound over by Recognizance to appear at the next Sessions and there to Answer at which Sessions he appeared And Proclamation was made That if any one would inform against the Plaintiff c. and none came For which the Plaintiff was discharged and so by this matter he was discredited c. And all this matter was found by Special Verdict And thereupon Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff And in this Case the Court took a difference Where one whose Goods a stollen comes to are Iustice of Peace and shews him the matter and prays that the matter be examined and that such a one is examined upon it here in this case No Action lieth But if such a person in such case will expresly say That such a one hath stollen c. Hob. 192. and procure a Warrant from a Iustice of Peace upon such Surmise to arrest the party upon such matter an Action upon the Case will lie CXLVII The Queen and the Lord Lumley's Case Trin. 26 Eliz. In the Exchequer IT was moved in the Exchequer 2 Len. 80. Hob. 304. That Queen Mary seised of the Rectory of D. granted Advocationem Ecclesiae de D. If now by this Grant the Advowson should pass as now disappropriate Or that the Rectory it self should pass as appropriate Or that nothing at all should pass And by Manwood Chief Baron the Advowson shall not pass but remain appropriate as it was before For the Church as it was appropriate by a Iudicial act so without such an Act it cannot be disappropriate And he said That by the Grant of the said Advowson the Rectory did not pass For by the Appropriation the Advowson was gone and it was not in esse and by consequence could not be granted And it is not within the Statute of 4 5 Philip Mary of Confirmations of Grants of the King For the said Statute helps not but misrecital misnaming c. But here there is not such a thing in rerum natura as the Patentee pretends to be passed by the Letters Patents And if it were in the Case of a Common person nothing should pass As it was adjudged in Sands Case 11 Eliz. And he said That at this time a Parsonage might be disappropriated but that ought to be by a Iudicial Act as by Presentment and not by any private Act of the Proprietor And so he said a Church was disappropriated by the Lord Dyer by a Presentment which of late he made to it CXLVIII Cox's Case Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN Debt upon an Obligation against Cox the Case was A Parson made a Lease for years and became bounden to the Lessee to perform the Covenants in the Lease The Defendant pleaded That the Lease is void by the Statute of 14 Eliz. because he was absent from his Benefice above the space of 80 days part of which time encurred depending the Action and before the Pea was pleaded It was the Opinion of the Court That the Plea was good But Exception was taken to the pleading The Defendant saith That the said Church is a Parochial Church cum Cura animarum but doth not say That it was so at the time of the Lease and Obligation made For it may be that at the time of the Lease there was a Vicar and then it was not Cura animarum And afterwards upon that Exception Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff CXLIX Wroth and Capell's Case Pasch 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 4 Len. 197. THe Case was A. was Indicted upon the Statute of 8 H. 6. And Exception was taken to the Indictment because no word of Freehold was in it or to prove that the party grieved had any Freehold whereof
the now Plaintiff To which Endictment the now Plaintiff peaded Not guilty and upon that he was acquitted The Defendant pleaded That the now Plaintiff was endicted of the said death in the County of S. scil of the stroak and of the death of the dead in the same County To which the Plaintiff by Replication said That the said J.S. was struck in the said County of S. but died in the County of D. so as this Indictment found in the County of S. is void by the Common Law and by the Statute of 2 E. 6. the party ought to be Indicted in the County where the party died and not where the stroke was given And upon that Replication the Defendant demurred in Law. Broughton The Plaintiff ought to be barred 1. The Plaintiff was not lawfully accquitted for the proceedings are not by due process For upon the Writ of Appeal no Pledges are retorned Which see 11 H. 4. 160. Then if the Appeal was not duly sued the Plaintiff was not duly acquitted and then Conspiracy or Action upon the Case doth not lie For such suit doth not lie but where if the Plaintiff had been found guilty he should have Iudgment of life and member Which shall not be upon an insufficient Appeal 9 H. 5. 2. 2. Because it is not shewed in the Declaration If the Defendant did flie or not 3. The Declaration wants these words Falso Malitiose as they are in the Writ of Conspiracy And also it is not shewed If the Plaintiff in the Appeal be sufficient or not For if he be sufficient the Abettors shall not be enquired See Westm 2. And as to the Action it self he conceived That it doth not lie by Bill but by Originial Writ against those who are found Abettors See 2 E. 2. Fitz. Action upon the Statute 28. such suit by Writ But see 25 Eliz. It was holden Such suit doth not lie by Writ And see Book of Entries 43 44. Flemming to the contrary It needs not to be shewed That the Plaintiff found Pledges ad prosequendum For without that the Writ is good enough and although that the Writ be not well executed yet it is good For our Action is not grounded upon the Record of Appeal but at the Common Law and the Record is but Conveyance to our Action And also there needs not in the Declaration falso malitiose for they are implyed in the words Abettavit procuravit And he conceived That this Action is at the Common Law and not only upon the Statute of Westm 2. Which see Stamford 172. And see 3 E. 3. Fitz. Conspiracy 13. Conspiracy lieth upon an Endictment of Trespass as well as upon an Endictment of Felony for the Law hath provided remedy in every Case where a Man is damnified As 43 E. 3. 20. A Writ of Disceit was brought for that the Defendant by Fraud and Collusion had procured J.S. to brign a Formedon against the Plaintiff of such a Mannor by reason whereof the Plaintiff was put to great charges and holden maintainable And the Statute of West 2. is in the affirmative and therefore it doth not abridge the Common Law but the subject may take the advantage of the Common Law if he pleaseth For it may be that the Course according to the Common-Law will more avail him than that upon the Statute For upon the Statute Law If the Abettors have not any thing the party is without remedy but by the Common Law the party grieved shall have excution upon the body 13 E. 2. Conspiracy holden maintainable against one who procured one to sue an Appeal against the Plaintiff See Fitz. Conspiracy 25. Fitzh Na. Br. 98. If A. procures B. to sue an Action against me to vex and molest me an Action of Disceit lieth And as to the matter of the Endictment I conceive that it is not any bar For the Endictment is meerly void because it was found in the County where the stroke was and not in the County where the party strucken died where of right it ought to be and that by the Statute of 2 E. 6. Then if the Endictment be insufficient it is as no Endictment and then the Plea cannot excuse the Defendant Which see 20 E. 4. 6. If the Endictment be not sufficient the Appellee shall wage Battail and the Abettors shall be acquitted Vide inde 19 E. 3. Coron 444. 26 H. 8. 2. And by the Common Law the Plaintiff might at his pleasure bring an Appeal where the Plaintiff was strucken or where he died but in such case the tryal shall be by both Counties And 3 H. 7. 12. Appeal was brought in the County where the party was stricken And 44 H. 7. 18. the Appeal was brought in the County where the party died and there it is said That in an Appeal the Plaintiff may declare as if the thing were done in both Counties but the Endictment ought to be in one County only And 43 E. 3. 18. A Man strucken in one County and dieth in another County the Appeal shall be brought in the County where he died In an Action upon the Case brought in the County of Essex the Plaintiff Declared That the Defendant held certain Lands by reason of which he ought to repair a Wall in the County of Essex juxta le Thames and that the Plaintiff had Land in the County of Middlesex adjoyning to the said Wall and for want of repairing the said Wall his Land in the County of Middlesex was drowned and the Writ was allowed being brought in the County of Essex See 6 H 7. 10. Clench I conceive this Action doth not lie by the Common Law For no Writ of Conspiracy was at the Common Law before the Statute And vide F. N. B. 114. F. If the Plaintiff in an Appeal be Nonsuit Conspiracy lieth but contrary if he be acquitted for he shall have his remedy against the Abettors c. Plowden This Action lieth at the Common Law and an Endictment is no Plea in this Action and it is not grounded upon the Statute as a Conspiracy is and so it well lieth although the Abettors be not Enquired Gawdy Serjeant This is an Action by the Common Law For in all cases where one procures damages to another so as the party is put to charges an Action lieth a fortiori where the procurement extends to the danger of life And see F. N. B. 116. F. Men conspire to have a false Office found of my Lands which Office is found by such procurement Conspiracy lieth And the Statute of 2 E. 6. doth not alter the Law before for it is in the affirmative See the Statute Cap. 24. Gawdy Iustice Conceived That the Endictment did not excuse the Defendants in this Action but against those who are sworn to give Evidence for the King and not others For they may well procure an Appeal malitiously notwithstanding the Endictment Walmesley Serjeant conceived That the Action doth not lie at the Common Law For in
Land as it might be Leased And so it is where the Sheriff retorns Issues c. for the Corn there growing may be of the value of 40 l. where the Land is but of the value of 10 l. CCXXV. Weshborn and Mordant's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 2 Len. 103. 1 Cro. 191.199 1 Len. 247. IN an Action upon the Case the Plaintiff declared That whereas he was possessed of a piece of Land containing 2 Acres called Parsonage lying adjoyning to a certain River from the 20th of May 29 Eliz. usque diem impetrationis istius Brevis c. the Defendant had the said 20th day of May estopped the said River with certain Loads of Earth and so continued estopped until the 14th of February by reason of which his Land was drowned and so he had lost the profit of it for the said time It was moved in Arrest of Iudgment That upon the Declaration it doth not appear that there is any cause of Action for the Plaintiff hath made title to the Land drowned from the 20th day so as that day is excluded and the Nusance is laid to be done the said 20th day and if so then he cannot complain of any wrong the Nusance being laid to be before any possession of the Plaintiff To which it was answered That although the stopping was made before the possession yet the Continuance of it after is a new wrong for which an Action lieth As 5 H. 7. 4. It was presented That an Abbot had not cleansed his Ditch c. by reason of which the Highway is estopped The Successor shall be put to Answer to that Indictment by reason of the Continuance of it See that continuance of a Nusance is Quasi a new Nusance 14 15 Eliz. Dyer 320. And it may be that the Plaintiff was not damnified until a long time after the 20th of May scil after the Estopping and the words of the Writ here are satisfied and true Afterwards Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff CCXXVI The Queen and Scot's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Queen brought a Quare Impedit against the Bishop of London and Scot And the Case was 1 Len. 40. A. seised of an Advowson in gross holden of the Queen in Chief aliened the same by Fine without Licence of the King The Church became void The Conusee presented the Queen without Office found brought a Quare Impedit The Question was If the Queen without Office found should present It was agreed by the whole Court That if the alienation had been by Deed only there the Queen without Office should not have the presentment For upon such alienation by matter in fait without Licence no Scire facias shall issue without Office found of the alienation But upon Alienation without Licence by matter of Record a Scire facias lieth before Office. And in the last Case the Queen shall have the Issues from the time of the Scire facias retorned but in the first Case from the time of the Office found See Stam. Prerogat see 8 E 4. 4. It was then moved That if the Queen being entituled to present ut supra pardon the Conusee all alienations without Licence and Intrusions If the Estate of the Incumbent thereby be confirmed But the Court would not argue that Point CCXXVII Sir Thomas Holland and Bonis's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Replevin 1 Len. 183. 2 Len. 12. Owen Rep. 138 139 the Defendant made Conusans as Baily to Tho. Lord Howard and shewed That the Prioress of the late dissolved Priory of Hallywell was seised of the Mannor of Priors in the County of Hertford and granted the same by words of Dedi concessi pro certa pecuniae summa to the Lord Audley Chancellor of England and his Heirs who died thereof seised and that the said Mannor inter alia descended to Mary Daughter and Heir of the said Tho. Lord Audley who died thereof seised by force of which the said Mannor descended to the said Tho. Lord Howard c. And shewed That the Conveyance by the Prioress bore date 4. Novemb. 29 H. 8. and then enrolled in the Chancery The Plaintiff in bar of the said Conusans shewed That after the making and inrolling of the said Conveyance the said Prioress Leased the Lands to Sir Hen. Parker for 99 years and conveyed the said Lands to himself and further shewed That the said Conveyance specified in the Conusans fuit primo deliberatum 4. November 31 H. 8. without that that the said Prioress the said 4. Novemb. 29 H. 8. dedit concessit the said Mannor to the said Lord Audley Vpon which it was demurred And it was the clear Opinion of the Court That the Averment de primo deliberatum against a Deed enrolled ought not to be received For by the same reason it might be averred Nunquam deliberatum and so upon the matter Non est factum It was further Objected That a Bargain and Sale by a Corporation is not good For a Corporation cannot be seised to another's use and the nature of such a Conveyance is to take effect by way of use in the bargain and afterwards the Statute draws the possession to the use But the Court utterly rejected the said Exception as dangerous for that such were the Conveyances of the greater part of the possessions of Monasteries And it was in this Case said by Shuttleworth Serjeant That although such a Corporation could not take an Estate to another's use yet they might charge their own possessions with an use to another CCXXVIII The Queen and the Bishop of Gloucester's Case Trin. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THe Queen recovered in a Quare Impedit against the Bishop of Gloucester and one S. in which Quare Impedit the Bishop pleaded as Ordinary scil Quod ipse nihil habet nec habere clamat in Ecclesia praedict neq in Advocatione ejusdem nisi Admissionem Institutionem c. And now the Bishop and S. the Incumbent brought a Writ of Error And If this Writ of Error brought joyntly by the Bishop and the Incumbent was well brought was the Question Some held That the Bishop had not cause to bring Error for that he had disclaimed in the Church and the Patronage of it For if in a Praecipe quod reddat the Tenant disclaims he shall never have a Writ of Error 16 E. 3. 7. Fitz. Error 78. And Note That in the Writ of Error at the Bar the perclose was Ad grave damnum Episcopi whereas the Bishop could not be grieved by the said Iudgment because he had nothing nor claimed any thing in the Church c. Wray The Writ of Error had been the better if those words ad grave damnum Episcopi had been left out for the Bishop hath lost nothing And it was Objected by some If the Iudgment in this Case be reversed the usual Iudgment cannot be given scil That the Bishop shall be restored to
Land during his life And he conceived That this Estate of Tho. Venables was in the King without Office not to grant for he is restrained by the Statute of 18 H. 8. but it is in him so before Office that he who hath right ought to sue to the King by Petition if he will have the same Yet he conceived That before the said Statute of 18 H. 6. the King might grant it before Office as it appeareth by Thirning 13 H. 4. 278. which was before the Statute So if the Kings Tenant makes a Lease for years the remainder over to another in Fee who dyeth without Heir the said remainder is in the King without Office because a common person in such case cannot enter but a Claim is sufficient and therefore it shall be in the King without Office. As to the Pardon He conceived That it did not extend to this Estate For the same is a Freehold therefore not within the Pardon As if the Kings Tenant be attainted of Felony and the King pardons him all Offences and all which he may pardon these words will not go or extend to Freehold but only to personal matters and such punishments and pains which do concern Chattels But it may be Objected That in this Pardon title of Quare Impedit and Re-entries for Conditions are excepted and therefore if they had not been excepted they had been released by the Pardon And therefore this Pardon doth extend to Inheritances and Freeholds As to that I say That such Exceptions were not in use in the time of King Ed. 4. and such Inheritances and Freeholds were not taken to be within such Pardons And such Exceptions began 5 Eliz. And he said he had been of Counsel in such Cases where it had been taken That such Pardons did not extend to Freeholds As an Abbot was disseised and during the Disseisin the Abby was dissolved the King made such a Pardon the same did not transfer the Kings right And in this Case there are divers Exceptions of Goods and Chattels in many cases and therefore it cannot be intended that this Pardon doth extend to Freeholds And see the said Act of Pardon There the Queen gave and granted all Goods Chattels Debts Fines Issues Profits Amercements Forfeitures and Sums of Mony which word Forfeiture shall be intended personal forfeiture and not otherwise for it is coupled with things of such nature And as to the Traverse he conceived That it did not lie in this Case For the Office is not untrue in substance although it be void in Circumstances And also the King here is entituled by double matter of Record i. e. the Attainder and the Office. And he said That the Statutes of 34 36 E. 3. which gave Traverse are to be meant of Offices found virtute Officii and not virtute Brevis for then Escheators were very troublesome And 2 E. 6. doth not give traverse but where the Office is untruly found As if the Kings Tenant be disseised and the Disseisor be Attainted The Queen seiseth the Land Now the Disseisee hath no remedy by traverse upon the Statute of 2 E. 6. but is put to his Monstrans de Droit for that the Office is true But if I be the Kings Tenant and seised of Lands accordingly and it is found that J.S. was seised of my Land and attainted c. whereas in truth he had not any thing in my Land there Traverse lieth For the Office is false And so our Case for the Traverse is at the Common Law. And it is true that Venables was seised c. Cook to the contrary And he conceived That by the Attainder the Queen had gained but a Chattel And that notwithstanding this Forfeiture If Venables had been in possession a Praecipe should be brought against him And whereas it hath been said by Mr. Attorny That the Writs set down in the Register are the best Expositors of our Law the same is not so For the Register saith That Waste lieth notwithstanding a mean Remainder which is not now Law but it hath been clearly ruled to the contrary See acc 50 E. 3. The Register therefore and the Writs are subject to the Iudgments of our Law. And the Writ of Diem clausit extremum is not to the contrary For I confess that in such case Hob. Rep. 342. the Land shall be seised into the Kings hands but the King shall have but a Chattel in it It hath been argued He may grant therefore he may forfeit Nego Consequentiam For a Man seised in the right of his Wife may grant but not forfeit Gardian in Socage may grant but not forfeit The Husband may grant a Term for years which he hath in the right of his Wife but he cannot forfeit it A Woman enheritrix taketh Husband and afterwards is attainted of Felony the King pardons him they have Issue the Woman dieth the Husband shall be Tenant by the Curtesie which proveth that the King hath no Freehold by this Attainder Before the Statute of West 2. Tenant in tail post prolem suscitatam might forfeit the Land but now the Statute hath so incorporated the Estate tail to the Tenant in tail that it cannot be devested yea a Fine levied ipso jure est nullus although as to the possession it be a discontinuance And that is the reason wherefore Tenant in tail shall not be seised to another's use See Stamford 190. b. The Husband seised in the right of his Wife is attainted of Felony the King shall have the Issues of the Land of the Wife during the life of the Husband c. So if Tenant in tail be Attainted of Felony that is but a Chattel in the Lands of the Wife and also in the Lands of the Tenant in tail and if the possessions of a Bishop be seised into the Kings hands for a Contempt In such case the King hath possession and not only the profits The same Law of Lands of Tenant in tail or for life being attainted of Felony So seisure for alienation without Licence or of the possessions of Poor Aliens See Br. Reseisure 10. So where the seisure is for Idiocy And he conceived That nothing is in the King without Office. And as to the Case of 13 H. 4. 6. I confess it For all that time many and amongst them Lawyers and Iustices were attainted by Parliament And so was Sir John Salisbury whose Case it was and their Lands by Act of Parliament given expresly to the King and therefore I grant that their Lands were in the King without Office. Tenant in Fee of a Common Lord is attainted of Felony his Lands remain in him during his life till the entry of the Lord and where the King is Lord until Office be found but in the case of a Common person after the death of the person attainted it is in the Lord before Entry and in the Case of the King before Office for the Mischief of Abeyance And see the Lord Lovell's
the Plaintiffs and of the cause of it upon which the Plaintiffs did demur in Law. It was argued by Fleetwood Serjeant for the Bishop but to little purpose therefore I will report but certain passages of his Argument He conceived That that general Pleading of Schismaticus inveteratus was good enough as if the Bishop certifieth Bastardy It is sufficient to say Bastardus sive Spurius without other Circumstances as to say On the body of such a Woman begotten Lollard derivatur à Lollio i. e. Anglice Tares Sampson was Dean of Christ Church in Oxford and was convented before the Ordinary for Schism because he would not use a Surplice and for that he was condemned for a Schismatick and deprived of his Deanery in the time of the Queen that now is Shuttleworth Serjeant for the Plaintiffs That the Bishop in his Plea ought to have shewed specially how and in what point the Presentee of the Plaintiffs was Schismaticus There are divers manners of Schisms 1. In Doctrine 2. In manners and of each kind there are many c. And therefore for doubt of enveigling the Metropolitan who is to try that Issue the Defendant ought to have shewed the Schism in certain in which the Metropolitan was to examine the Clerk readily See 38 E. 3. 2. the Case of the Countess of Arundel where in a Quare Impedit the Ordinary pleaded That the Presentee was Criminosus Perjurus and shewed the Cause in what and when he was Perjured And although this Issue is to be tryed by the Metropolitan yet it ought to be formally pleaded in the Temporal Court and with certainty As where a Divorce is pleaded It is not sufficient to say That a Divorce was had but the party ought to shew for what cause and before what Iudge the Divorce was had which see 18 E. 4. 29. where the Divorce is specially pleaded for cause of Consanguinity for by one Divorce the Issues are bastardized by others not See as to the Pleading of a Divorce 11 H. 7. 9. Profession although it be a Spiritual thing yet the general Pleading of it is not good but he who pleads it ought to shew of what Order and under whose Obedience 40 E. 3. 37. which see the Book of Entries 444.

Bishop of London Ordinary of the said place Now It is to see If by this general Demurrer the matter in Fact be confessed scil That the Presentee was Schismaticus inveteratus and as to that the Rule is That all matters in Fait which are well and duly pleaded by a general Demurrer be confessed but that which is not well alledged by no Demurrer shall be holden confessed Which Learning see in the Commentaries in Partridge and Stranges Case And here for as much as Scismaticus is not not well pleaded for the cause aforesaid it shall not be holden confessed Now It is to see If upon the Statute of 27 Eliz. this defect be helped and he conceived it was not for here the defect is in matter and not in form As if in Trespass of his Close breaking the Defendant justifies by a Lease for years and doth not shew the place where the Lease was made and the Plaintiff demurrs generally upon it the said defect is not helped by the said Statute for that it is Matter So in a Formedon in Discender The Defendant pleads a Warranty with Assets without shewing the place where the Assets is and the Demandant demurrs upon it generally the same defect is not helped by the said Statute See a good Case adjudged upon the Statute Mich. 28 29 Eliz. between Henly and Broad Periam and Windham Iustices conceived That the Plea of the Bishop is not good because it is not shewed in what point the Presentee was Schismaticus for by this genral Pleading if it should be allowed the Metropolitan to whom the Tryal of the Cause belongeth shall be driven to peruse all Schisms in the Examination of the Presentee which is a thing infinite and inconvenient Rhodes and the Lord Anderson to the Contrary And Rhodes vouched an Old Book 30 E. 1. out of a written Book of the Lord Catline In a Quare non admisit the Defendant pleaded That the Clerk presented was Schismaticus Adulter and the Court commanded that he hold himself to one of them for which he said Adulter so as the Court did not mislike the Plea for the generality but for the doubleness And by Anderson Our Case is not like the Cases put by Shuttleworth for they concern things tryable by our Law in which Case to have convenient tryal all matters issuable ought to be specially alledged but here the Case is otherwise and no peril of Tryal And by the said Statute of 27 Eliz. we ought to judge according to the right of the Cause and matter in Law. See this Case adjudged upon a Writ of Error brought in the Kings Bench. Hill. 32 Eliz. in Cook 5 Part 57. Specot's Case CCLII Estrigge and Owles's Case Trin. 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action upon the Case by Estrigge against Owles It was holden by the Iustices Ante 73. That forbearance per paululum tempus is a good Consideration Then it was moved That in the Action the Request was not sufficiently laid in respect of the place and time And Cook said That the difference had always been agreed That where the promise is to do a Collateral thing upon Request there in the Declaration the place and the time ought to be certainly set down As it was holden in the Case of Alderman Pulison where he promised to give a Cun of Wine upon request Ante 73. in such case the request is traversable and therefore it ought to be certainly shewed for the request is parcel of the Issue But if such Action be brought and the Plaintiff declares upon an Indebitatus then if the Plaintiff prove the Debt it is not material to prove the promise for every Contract executory implyes a promise and in such case the request is not traversable And the truth of the Case was That one Tickil was endebted to the Plaintiff in 30 l. and died Intestate B. his Wife took Letters of Administration and took to Husband the Defendant And he for the Consideration aforesaid and that the Plaintiff would forbear his Debt for a little time promised to pay it And further declared That he had forborn c. from such a day until such a day but yet the Defendant would not pay it licet saepius requisitus And upon this Declaration the Plaintiff had Iudgment And now a Writ of Error was brought
so as of necessity we must lay the promise accordingly And it is a clear case That the Plaintiff in an Action upon the Case shall declare upon a Promise the first day of May And if it be found that it was made at another day yet the Plaintiff shall recover CCCX Hamper's Case Mich. 31 Eliz.

HAmper was Endicted upon the Statute of 5 Eliz. of Perjury And in the body of the Endictment the Record was that he falso deceptive deposuit Whereas the Statute speaks Wilfully And although in the perclose of the Endictment the Conclusion is Et sic commisit voluntarium perjurium Yet the Opinion of the Court was That the same did not help the matter and for that cause the party was discharged For contra formam Statuti will not help the matter and yet it was moved and urged that contra formam Statuti did supply such defect And in this case It was holden by the Court That if a Witness deposeth falsly but the Iury do not give credit to his Oath but give their Verdict against his Oath although the party grieved cannot sue him for the Perjury yet at the Suit of the King he shall be punished CCCXI. Collet and Robston's Case Trin. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. Ante 149.192 2 Len. 118. ARthur Collet and Thomas Andrews recovered against Robston in a Writ of Accompt Hill. 29 Eliz. And now Robston brought a Writ of Error and assigned for Error That whereas the said Writ of Accompt was brought against the Defendant as Receivor of monies to render Accompt quando ad hoc requisitus fuerit the said Writ ought to have been more special But the Writ in its generalty was holden good enough without any special matter And so it was adjudged in the Case of one Gomersell scil Quod reddat ei rationabilem Computum suum de tempore quo fuit Receptor Denariorum ipsius A. Another Error was assigned For that the Iury had assessed damages which ought not to be done in an Action of Accompt Which see 2 Ric. 2. Fitz. Accompt 45. and 2 H. 7. 13. But see the Book of Entries 22. In a Writ of Accompt against one as Receivor for to render Accompt damages were given by the Iury for the Plaintiff And in the Case of an Accompt against one as Bailiff damages shall be given For if my Bailiff by the imployment of my monies whereof he was Receivor might have procured profit and gain unto me but he neglects the same he shall be chargeable to me to answer the same And here in our Case damages shall be given ratione implacitationis And afterwards notwithstanding the Exceptions the Iudgment was affirmed CCCXII Yates's Case Trin. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. YAtes and another brought a Writ of Error upon a Iudgment given in a Writ of Partition and assigned for Error 2 Len. 118. That the Partition was not sufficient For it is there set forth That the Plaintiffs insimul pro indiviso tenent cum defendente c. and doth not say what Estate See F.N.B. 61 62. Insimul et pro indiviso tenent de haereditate which was of A. matris of the Plaintiff and Defendant And yet see F. N. B. 62.

Between the Lord Cheney and Bell. So between Finch and Tirrell And so between Fry and Drake 14 Eliz. And 4 5 Phil. Mary It was holden That it is not necessary in such Writ to shew the Estate But Tenants in Common ought to shew the same in their Declaration CCCXIII. Hill. 31 Eliz. In the King Bench. AN Action upon the Case was brought for these words scil Thou hast forged my hand It was holden by Gawdy and Wray Iustices That such words are not actionable because too general without shewing to what writing And by Wray these words scil Thou art a forger are not actionable because it is not to what thing he was a forger Godfery Between Warner and Cropwell scil She went about to kill me An Action lieth for them for if they were true she should be bounden to the good behaviour And by Gawdy for these words scil Thou hast forged a Writing They are not Actionable because they are incertain words Which Wray concessit But if the Declaration had been more certain as innuendo such a deed then it had been good enough Fuller A Case was betwixt Brook and Doughty scil He hath Counterfeited my Lord of Leicester's hand unto a Letter against the Bishop of London for the which he was committed to the Marshalsey for it And it was holden Not Actionable And afterwards in the principal Case Iudgment was Nihil Capiat per Billam CCCXIV Delabroche and Barney's Case Mich. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. DElabroche was sued in the Admiral Court upon an Obligation supposed to be made and delivered in France and now he prayed a Prohibition It was holden by the whole Court That such a Bond might be sued here but being begun in the Court of Admiralty we cannot prohibit them for that perhaps the Witnesses of the Plaintiff are beyond Sea which may be examined there but not here CCCXV. Moulton's Case Mich. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THis Case was moved to the Court by Cook That one Robert Moulton Tenant in tail having Issue two Sons Robert and John died seised And that Robert his Son and Heir levied a Fine thereof and afterwards levied another Fine and died without Issue And John brought two several Writs of Error to reverse both Fines And the Tenant to the Writ of Error brought upon the first Fine pleaded the second Fine in bar of it And in her of a Writ of Error brought upon the second Fine he pleaded the first Fine The Court advised him to Reply That the Fine pleaded in bar was erronious See 7 H. 4. 107. Where a Man is to annul an Outlawry his person shall not be disabled by any other Outlawry CCCXVI. Babington and Babington's Case Mich. 31 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN Debt brought The Defendant pleaded an Attachment made in London after imparlance It was adjudged That it was not any plea. And Wray said That the same should be observed for a Rule in other Cases After that plea was disallowed The Defendant pleaded Variance betwixt the Obligation and the Declaration For the Obligation was Randal Bab. And the Declaration was ad respondend Randulpho B. alias Randal B. Cook said That Randulphus is Latine for Randal Owen Serjeant shewed divers Presidents where Randulphus was taken for Randal But the Court did not agree upon it Wray advised the Plaintiff for his more speed to
thereupon But then the Question was If the Tenants should be put to plead the same in discharge or that the same should be discharged without pleading because it appeareth upon Record That he who aliened was but Tenant in tail in Remainder For there was an Office found of that which was pleaded by another in another Cause The Opinion of the Court was Where such matter appeareth of Record as by Office Livery c. there the party needs not to plead such matter in discharge for the pleading of it is to no other purpose but to satisfie the Court by the Record that the matter is so as the party hath alledged and therefore the Barons gave Order That the Process against the Tenants of the Lord Dacres should be stayed CCCXXXVI George Ap-Rice's Case Trin. 32 Eliz. In the Exchequer IN the Case of one George Ap-Rice The matter was Ante 121. That Tenant in tail after possibility of issue extinct assigned over his Estate unto A. against whom he in the Reversion brought a Quid juris clamat and Iudgment was given that he should attorn and upon his refusal he was committed to Prison and divers Fines set upon him and estreated in the Exchequer It was moved That these Fines were imposed upon the party against Law. And the Opinion of the Court was That when Iudgment is given in a Quid juris clamat for the Plaintiff Distresse infinite shall be against the Defendant to bring him in to attorn and when he comes in if he refuse he shall be imprisoned until he attorn It was also holden by the Court That the Fines were not lawfully assessed and imposed upon him And it was said That it had been adjudged in a Court of Wales That the Assignee of Tenant in tail after possibility of issue should attorn upon which Iudgment a Writ of Error was brought in the Kings Bench and there upon good advise the said Iudgment was affirmed For although it be true That Tenant in tail after possibility shall not be compelled to attorn yet that is a priviledge which is annexed to his person and not to the Estate and by the assignment of the Estate the priviledge is destroyed CCCXXXVII Harris and Wing's Case Mich. 32 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. More Rep. 4. 5. IN the Case between Harris and Wing The first point was That the Lease made by Queen Mary was void 1. Because a former Lease of Record was not recited in the Letters Patents of it The reason wherefore such recital ought to be is not as hath been alledged by Cook Quia circa solium Regis subsistunt justitia veritas and then when there is a former Lease in Esse the King makes a Lease in possession the same cannot stand together so as there is not Justitia Veritas but the very reason thereof is so high that he cannot take c. but by matter of Record and if that he mistaken it makes all void and therefore In Petitions of Right Ante 5 6. and Monstrans de Droit If the King be not enformed of all the Titles all is void And therefore in the Case between Sir Moyle Finch and Throgmorton which now depends in the Exchequer which was this The Queen made a Lease for years rendring Rent with a Proviso That if the Rent be behind That the Estate shall cease the Rent is behind the King granted the same over to Sir Tho. H. It was first moved If the same Lease should cease without Office. And it was holden by Popham and many other grave and learned Men upon a Conference That the said Lease should cease without Office for the Contract which is upon Record is determined and ceased by which the Estate which was created by the said Contract shall also cease without Office. But yet the Lessee continued in possession notwithstanding that and took the Profits but thereof after office found he rendred recompence to the Queen And it was holden there upon the said Conference That the Queen in her Grant to Sir T.H. of the said Estate which was now ceased ought to recite that Lease For the Tenant is in possession and could not be punished for his occupation before Office. So in the Case of the Vicarage of Yatton 17 Eliz. Dyer 339. The presentment being devolved to the Queen by Lapse the Ordinary collated A. and afterwards the Queen presented B. who brought a Quare impedit depending which A. proved another Presentment of the Queen without mention or recital of the first Presentment and the same was holden void For in that the first Presentment is not recited nor the pleasure of the Queen to revoke it and therefore it was in disceit of the Queen So the Case 18 Eliz. Dyer 352. An Abbot leased for 60 years the Lessee made a Lease for 80 years the Reversion came to the King the 60 years expired the second Lesse surrendred to the King ea intentione that the King would re-grant the same to him for 20 years remaining The King reciting the Indenture and Surrender ex certa scientia granted for 20 years It was holden by the Court That the Grant was void because the King was misenformed c. It hath been Objected That here needs no recital for that the Lease to be recited is ended eo instante that the new Lease beginneth Sed distinguenda sunt tempora aliud est facere aliud perficere the first Lease is ended when the new is perfected and the Great Seal put to it The second reason wherefore the Lease shall be void is because otherwise the Grant of the Queen shall enure to two Intents 1. To make a Lease 2. To accept a Surrender and how can the Queen accept a Surrender of an Estate of which she hath not notice for She is not enformed of it by any Record without which She cannot take notice of any thing See 7 E. 4. 30 31. Baggotts Assise The King granted an Office to an Alien the same shall not enure to make him a Denizen for then it shall enure to two intents c. The words of the Grant of Queen Mary are Omnia tenementa nostra and If by that a Reversion shall pass was the Question Certainly In verbis ambiguis Intentio sumenda est Then here in our Case by this Patent is other Land which should pass and the Reversion is nostra but in property not possession Wherefore here Nostra shall be restrained to that which is in possession Where there are general words in Grant of the King they ought to be served but if they can be served they shall be taken in a common and general sense but the words shall not be stretched But if they cannot be served then they shall not be void but the King shall be rather prejudiced and always the Grant of the King either may be served or taken to a common intent 2 H. 3. 4. Quaelibet Concessio Domini Regis capi debet stricte contra Dominum
them Another Exception was Because it is not shewed What is their due Fee And that was conceived to be a good cause of Exception And if no Fee be due the same ought to appear in the Indictment And afterwards the Opinion of the Court was That they should be discharged CCCLXII Doughty and Prideaux's Case Hill. 33 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. Action upon the Case by Doughty against Prideaux 4 Len. 101 for these words Thou art a Wicked and perjured Fellow and art forsworn in the Court of Star-Chamber as appeareth by an Exemplification here under the Seal of this Court. The Defendant justified because of a Bill exhibited in the same Court by one Brooks against the now Plaintiff for conspiring with another to endict the said Brooks of certain Felonies And the Defendant now Plaintiff in his Answer to the said Bill denyed upon Oath the said Conspiracy And sentence was given in the said Court against the now Plaintiff ubi revera such a Conspiracy was The Plaintiff Replicando said That the said Brooks was Arraigned and Convicted upon the said Indictment and prayed his Clergy Whereupon it appeared because the said Brooks was not Legitimo modo acquietatus that the same could not be any Conspiracy in the now Plaintiff to procure the said Brooks to be Indicted Walmesley and Periam Iustices This Replication is not good For it may be that Brooks was acquitted and yet the Plaintiff did Conspire upon which a Writ of Conspiracy perhaps would not lie but an Action upon the Case without doubt For the Replication doth not prove That the Plaintiff did not Conspire but that the Plaintiff was not punishable for such Conspiracy c. CCCLXIII Pasch 33 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was An Abbot leased Lands to three Men for 80 years and in the end of the said Lease was a Clause That if they died within the said Term that then the Lessor might enter The possessions of the Abby came unto the King who granted the Reversion to J.S. who made a new Lease thereof to J.D. for 21 years to begin after the expiration determination or surrender of the said former Lease The 3 Lessees died within the Term If J.D. might now enter before J.S. hath entred was the Question And it was the Opinion of all the Iustices That he could not For it is in the Election of J.S. if he will take advantage of the Condition and defeat the Lease but that ought to be by Entry and none can make such Entry but the Lessor himself or by his express direction c. CCCLXIV Bond and Bayle's Case Pasch 33 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 1 Len. 328. 1 Roll. 926. BOnd brought a Scire facias against Bayle's Administrator of one T.B. upon a Recovery against the Intestate in an Action of Debt The Defendant pleaded before the said Iudgment given The Testator acknowledged a Statute-Staple to one B. and that the same was not paid in the life-time of the Intestate nor ever after and that they had not Goods of the Intestate in their hands above to pay the said Statute Vpon which it was Demurred in Law. Crook argued That the Bar was not good for here no execution upon the Statute is pleaded and then the Iudgment and the Statute being things of as high nature that of which Execution is first sued shall be first satisfied And if this Action had been brought upon the Obligation the Plea had not been good For although that Brian saith 21 E. 4. That Recognizances shall be paid by Executors before Obligations yet that is to be intended when a Scire facias is to be sued upon it otherwise not See 12 E. 3. Fitz. tit Execution 73. In a Scire facias upon a Iudgment in Debt given against the Testator Enquiry was What Goods the Executors had at the day of the Garnishment And he said It was moved 20 Eliz. by Anderson in this Court In Debt upon an Obligation against an Executor The Defendants pleaded That the Testator was endebted to one A. and that they had not more than to satisfie the same And it was holden no plea unless they had pleaded further That a Scire facias was sued forth upon the same But Wray said That was not Law And there is a difference when the Iudgment is given against the Testator himself and where against the Executors For where Iudgment is given against the Executors the Iudgment which was first given shall be first executed But if two Iudgments be given against the Testator he who first sueth Execution against the Executors shall he first satisfied because they are things of an equal nature and before suit it is in the Election of the Executor to pay which of them he pleaseth See 9 E. 4. 12. As if two Men have Tallies out of the Exchequer he who first offers his to the Officer shall be first satisfied for before that it is in the Election of the Officer which of them he will pay And a Iudgment is a higher Record than a Statute for the Statute is not a Record but Debitum recordatum recognitum And therefore 19 H. 6. If the Release enrolled be lost the Enrollment of it is not of any effect And Pasch 20 Eliz. Our very case was moved in the Court of Common Pleas In a Sire facias upon a Iudgment given against the Testator the Executor pleaded That the Testator had acknowledged a Statute before not satisfied ultra which c. And it was holden no Plea For a Statute is but a private and poquet-Record as they then called it And 32 Eliz. Between Coney and Barkham the same Plea was pleaded and holden to be no plea. Also if this Plea should be allowed great Mischief would follow for then no Debts should be satisfied by Executors For it might be that the Statute was made for performance of Covenants which Covenants peradventure shall never be broken And afterwards Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff CCCLXV Butler and Baker's Case Mich. 33 34 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. SEe the principal Case Reported in Cook 3 Part 25. Poph. 87. 1 And. 348. 3 Co. 25. The Argument of Egerton Solicitor General in the said Case under his own hand was as followeth viz. The disagreement by the Wife in pais is good by the Common Law. An Agreement may be by word Ergo a Disagreement If Husband and Wife Lease for years rendring Rent the Husband dieth the Wife accepteth of the Rent that Acceptance shall bind her 15 E. 4. 17. 3 H. 6. 48. 48 E. 3. 13. 16 E. 4. 8. 11 H. 7. 13. 9 H. 6. 44. 10 H. 6. 24.

to prevent all acts and charges made mean by the Vendor yet it shall not relate to vest the Estate from the time of the delivery of the Deed For the Vendee cannot punish a Trespass Mean And if the Vendee hath a Wife and the Vendee dieth before Enrollment and afterwards the Deed is enrolled she shall not be endowed but here shall be some descent to take away an Entry yet the Heir shall have his age But in our Case it is otherwise for by the Waiver the Ioynture was waived ab initio And he cited Carrs Case 29 Eliz. in the Court of Wards The King granted the Mannor of C. to George Owen in Fee tenend in Socage and rendring 94 l. per annum And afterwards granted 54 l. parcel of the said Rent to the Earl of Huntington in Fee to be holden by Knight-service in Capite and afterwards purchased the said Rent in Fee And afterwards of the same Mannor enfeoffed William Carr who devised the same for the payment of his Debts And it was holden That the devise was good against the Heir And the King was not entituled to Livery or Primer Seisin And therefore the Defendant was dismissed But peradventure the Queen shall have benefit of the Act. See Cook 3 Part 30 31. Butler and Baker's Case The King gives Lands unto A. in Fee to hold by Knights-service during his life and afterwards to hold in Socage He may devise the whole For at the time when the devise took effect he was Tenant in Socage Lands holden in Knight-service are given to J.S. in tail scil to the Heirs Males of his Body the Remainder to the right Heirs of J.S. J.S. deviseth these Lands and afterwards dieth without Issue Male the same is good for two parts yet during his life he had not an Estate in Fee in possession The Father disseiseth his Son and Heir apparent of an Acre of Land holden in Chief by Knight-service in Capite and afterwards purchaseth a Mannor holden in Socage and deviseth the said Mannor and dieth his Heir within age the Devise is good for the whole and the King shall not have Wardship of any part and that in respect of the Remitter and yet it is within the words Having sole Estate in Fee of Lands holden and within the Saving Tenant in tail of an Acre of Land holden of the King in Chief by Knight-service seised of two Acres in Fee holden ut supra makes a Lease for three Lives of the Acre entailed reserving the accustomed Rent and afterwards deviseth the other two Acres in Fee and afterwards dieth seised of the Reversion and Rent The same is a good devise of all the two Acres And here is an immediate descent of the third part for the same is within the words In Possession Reversion or Remainder or any Rent or Service incident to any Reversion or any Remainder See the Statute of 34 H. 8. A Man seised of three Acres of equal value holden by Knight-service in Capite assureth one to his Wife for her Ioynture by Act executed and deviseth another to a stranger And the third to his Wife also The King in this case shall have the third part of every Acre But if the stranger waiveth the devise the King shall have the Acre to him devised and the Wife shall retain the other two Acres and it shall not go in advantage of the Heir So if he deviseth the said three Arces severally to three several persons to each of them one Acre and the one Waives the devise in one Acre The devise of the other two is good Or otherwise the King shall have the third part of every Acre c. CCCLXVII Mich. 35 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 5 Co. 29. THe Case was An Enfant was made Executor And Admimistration was committed to another viz. A. durante minori aetate who brought an Action of Debt against the Debtor and recovered and had him in Execution and now the Executor came of full age It was moved What should be done in this Case and how the party should be discharged of the Execution for the authority of the Administrator is now determined and he cannot acknowledge satisfaction or make an acquittance Windham Although the authority of the Administrator be determined yet the Record and the Iudgment remain in force But peradventure you may have an Audita Querela But he conceived That an Administrator could not have such Action for that he is rather a Bailiff to the Enfant than an Administrator See Prince's Case 42 Eliz. Cook 5 Part 29. Which Rhodes concessit A. was bounden unto B. in an Obligation of 100 l. upon Condition to pay a lesser sum The Obligee made an Enfant his Executor and died Administration was committed durante minori aetate to C. to whom A. paid the Mony It was doubted If that payment was rightful or If the Mony ought to have been paid to both Windham Doth it appear within the Record That the Enfant was made Executor and that Administration was committed ut supra To which it was answered No. Then Windham said You may upon this matter have an Audita Querela In this Case It was said to be the Case of one Gore 33 Eliz. in the Exchequer in a Scire facias by an Assignee of a Bond against an Enfant Executor He pleaded That the Administration was committed to A. and his Wife during her minority And it was adjudged no Plea.

And it was holden That here is not any Consideration For it is against Law for such an Officer in such a Case to deliver a thing attached ut supra to the Plaintiff or to his Wife Also the Consideration was a thing executed before the promise Also a Man cannot be attached by Corn. And afterwards Iudgment was given against the Plaintiff CCCXXVI Broughton and Prince's Case Mich. 32 33 Eliz. In the Exchquer BRoughton an Apprentice of the Inner-Temple 1 Cro. 728. Tryal per pays 175 Owen Rep. 128 227. being Farmor to the Queen exhibited a Bill in the Exchequer Quo minus c. against Prince a Practicer of the Law in the Marches of Wales for maintaining one J.S. in a Suit against the Statute of Maintenance To which the Defendant pleaded That he was Consiliarius in lege eruditus c. and so justified And now it was moved by Atkinson on the part of the Defendant That by the Statute of 18 Eliz. Cap. 5. That no Informer shall sue any person upon any Penal Statute but by way of Information or Original Action and not otherwise And here the suit is by Bill which cannot be warranted by the Statute And he conceived That this suit is brought upon the Statute of 1 R. 2. cap. 4. upon which Statute no prosecution shall be in the name of the subject only but it may be in the name of the King only See the Book of Entries 393. Where the suit is tam pro Domino Rege quam pro seipso And there by the King only and there by the party only And as to the Statute of 32 H. 8. cap. 9. suit upon the same ought to be tam pro Domina Regina quam pro seipso Which see in the Book of Entries 395. Also by the Statute of 31 Eliz. cap. 5. The suit brought ought to begin within one year after the offence committed And in our Case the offence upon which the suit is conceived was committed 3 years before the Information brought and it cannot be added because that the Plaintiff is the party grieved For every Statute made against Maintenance is Popular Broughton said We have Replied to the Defendant That he is a Lay Man et non in Lege Eruditus and prayed that the same might be enquired of by the Country And the Defendant Prince likewise and so Issue is joyned And because you have such Objections they shall be saved to you to move in Arrest of Iudgment Atkinson I may offer them as well now to the Iury as well as in Arrest of Iudgment And afterwards it was moved That the Defendant might demur upon the Replication if he would and if not the Issue should be tryed And if then it pass against the Defendant that then he shew the matter in Arrest of Iudgment for no Exception shall be allowed for staying of the Enquest if it be not an apparant fault and not only a doubt At another day the matter was moved and then it seemed to the Barons That the Plaintiff here being Pars gravata was not restrained to any year after the offence committed but that restraint did extend only to Common Informers The Defendant pleaded That he was admitted in Societatem interioris Templi and there remained a Student for so many years And that he was homo eruditus in Lege and a Counsellor and took his Fee c. The Plaintiff by Replication said of his own wrong without that that the Defendant is homo Conciliarius in lege eruditus hoc petit quod c. ut supra And Atkinson took Exception to the Traverse and Conclusion of it Et hoc petit quod inquiratur per Patriam for that cannot be tryed by the Country but by the Iudges For here is a Question of the Learning of the Defendant and that is to be tryed and his sufficiency in this Learning is to be discerned by those who are skilful in the Laws of the Land For if a matter in Law is to be tryed by the Iudges a multo fortiori the Learning of the Law is to be tryed by them for that is more difficult to be judged As where the Ordinary refuseth a Clerk for insufficiency in learning upon which they are at Issue the same shall not be tryed by the Country but by the Bishop Which see Articuli Cleri cap. 13. de Idonietate praesentata
