Defendant pleaded non Assumpsit and the issue was found for the Plaintif and now Gawdy spoke iâ— arrest of Judgement because the Plaintif had alledged no place of the Assumpsion No Place of the assumpsion and he said that when an Issue is mis-tried it hath been adjudged here that it is not helped by the Statute and here is no place alledged whereupon the Tryall may be Peryam The opinion of many hath been that the Statute shall be taken most strictly but in my opinion it shall be taken most liberally so that if a verdict be once given it shall be a great cause that shall hinder judgement wherefore allthough no place be shewen yet when it is tryed and found it seemeth that he ought to have judgement and so was the opinion of the Court Anderson absente 6. AN Action upon the case was brought in Staffordshire by Whorwood against Gybbons Consideration how in an account between them the Defendant was found in Arrerages and in consideration that the Plaintif differreret deem solutionis debiti praedicti per parvum tempus the Defendant did assume to pay it and upon Non assumpsit pleaded it was found with the Plaintif and it was alleged in arrest of judgement that this was no consideration And the opinion of the whole Court Absente Anderson was that insomuch as the Proviso was made by him by whom the debt was due that it is a good consideration and that it is a common course in Actions upon the case against him by whom the debt is due to declare without any words in consideratione And allthough that Gawdy moved that parvum tempus may be three or four hours or dayes which is no consideration yet for the cause alleged the Court sayd that they saw no cause to stay judgement 7. AN Action upon the case was brought for these words Scandal Thou dost harbour and maintain Rebels and Traitors and the issue was found for the Plaintif and the judgement was entred by the Pregnotary yet notwithstanding Walmisley moved the Court to have regard unto it for the Action was not maintainable for if a man keâ—p Theeves and do not know them to be Theeves he is in no fault and an Action for these words will not lye and the Plaintif hath not averred that the Defendant sayd that the Plaintif knew them to be Traytors Peryam The Action in the Kings-bench was that the Plaintif kept Theeves and there if there be no such averment the Action is not maintainable Maintain but here is the word Maintain and that word implyeth a thing prohibited and therefore not sufferable and therefore I think the Action is maintainable and by the opinion of VVindham Peryam and Rodes the Action was well brought Anderson absente propter agritudinem 8. AN Action upon the case was brought by Richard Body against A. Consideration and declared that whereas Kary Raleigh was indebted to Body in 14l and the said A. was indebted to Raleigh in 50l in consideration that the said K. R. allocavit eidem A. 14l promisit ei ad exonerandum eâ—ndem A. de 14l parcell praedict 50l the Defendant did assume to pay to the said Plaintif the said 14l and the Court was moved if this were a good consideration to bind the Defendant And the opinion of all the Court Anderson absente was that the Consideration was good for that he was discharged of so much against Raleigh and Raleigh might also plead payment of the 14l by the hands of the Defendant 9 AN Action of Assault and Battery was brought Assault and the Defendant was condemned by nihil dicit and a Writ to enquire of damages went forth and then the Attourney of the Plaintif died and another Attourney without Warrant prayed the second Judgement and Execution Warrant if this shall be error or no it was moved by Fenner And the Court gave their opinion that if in an action after Judgment the Attourney dye a new Attourney may pray Execution without Warrant but in this case because that he died before the second Judgement it seemeth that he ought to have a Warrant of Attourney for the first Judgment is no finall Judgement And the Pregnotaries said that if after the first Judgement one of the parties had died the Writ should abate quod fuit concessum per curiam And also Fenner moved that this shall not be within the intent of the Statute of Jeofayles which speaketh of Verdicâ—â— Verdict for this shall not be said a Verdict whereto the Court agreed for a Verdict is that which is put in issue by the joyning of the parties 10 A Woman brought an action Covenant and she Covenanteth that she shall not do any act to repeal to discontinue to be nonsuit or countermand this action and hanging the Writ she takes a husband whereby the Writ abateth Now Fenner moved if she had broken the Covenant VVindam If one be bound that he shall not attorn and he make an Attornment in Law Attornment the Obligation is forfeit without question Assignment Rodes If I be bound not to make in Assigâ—ment of such a thing and I devise it by my will this is a forfeiture as it is in 31. H. 8. Fenner there is a case in Long 5. E. 4. If one be bound to appear at the Sessions c. and. I am to make a plea in this case and I would know your opinions VVindham You may plead according to the truth of your cause for that shall not change the Law therefore plead what you list 11. DEbt was brought upon an Obligation Condition the Condition was to perform Articles contained in an Indenture and one Article was that the Defendant Sir William Drury should plead the generall Issue or aâ—issuable Plea or such a Plea in quo staret aut persisteret within seven dayes next ensuing The Defendant sayd that he pleaded such a Plea and shewed what and averred that it was sufficient and issuable within seven dayes The Plaintif demanded judgement if to this Plea he shall be received for he appeared in Michaelmas Term in which he ought to have pleaded and took imperlance over unto Hill Term And Fenner shewed that in truth an issuable Plea was pleaded and drawn in paper in Mich. Term and the Plaintif replyed and the Defendant rejoyned and the Plaintif surrejoyned and theâ— by assâ—â—t in Hill Term all this was waved and an imperlance of the other Term entered forfear of a discontinuance and now he would have the Obligation of five hundred pound forfeited by this And the opinion of the Court Anderson absente was that the Obligation 〈◊〉 was forfeit for the Plea ought to have been entred of Recordâ—◠〈…〉 be bound in an Obligation to appear here at a certain day Appearance entred allthough he do appear at the same day yet if his appearance be not entred upon Record his Obligation is forfeit Peryam If the Plaintif deny that
Rodes Surely I have noted my book that Judgement is given and so I supposed that it had been 5. SHuttelworth moved that whether a Lease is made to a man oâ— his own Land by Deed indented Estopple this is an Estopple whereto the Court agreed But VVindham and Peryam sayd if the Lease be made for life by Indenture Livâ—ry that yet this shall be no Estopple because the Lease takes effect by the Livery and not by the Deed but Rodes did not fully assent to that Anderson was absent in the Staâ—â— chamber 6. DEbt was brought by Lassels upon an Obligation Hill 1â— Eliz. tot 1 511. with condition that if the Defendant did personally appear in the Kings-bench such day Stat. 23 Hen. 6 that then c. the Defendant pleaded the Statute of 23 H. 6. said that he was taken by the Plaintif being Sherif then by force of a Latitat and that the Bond was not made according to the Statute For being made for his deliverance this word personally was inserted in the condition more than is in the Statute And it seemed by three Justices Anderson absente that if it were in such an Action where a man may appear by Attourney that then it shall be voyd but now the question is whether the party ought to appear in proper person by force of a Latitat or no And some said yea and some said no. And the Plaintif shewed a Judgement given in the Kings bench for Sackford against Cutt. where Cutt. was taken by a Latitat and made such an Obligation as this is for his deliverance Sackford being Ballivus sanct Etheldredâ—e in Suff. and adjudged for the Plaintif that the Obligation was good And this was in the Kings-bench Mic. 27 28 Eliz. Rot. 575. but Peryam doubted of that judgement for peradventure he might appear by Attourney Ideo quare for that was the reason of the judgement given in the Kings-bench as it was sayd because he could not appear but in proper person 7. AN Action of Trover was brought for Goods Jeofayle and the Defendant pleaded a bargain and sale in open Market thereupon they were at issue and found for the Plaintif and now the Defendant spake in arrest of judgement because the Plaintif had shewed no place of conversion No place of conversion yet notwithstanding by the opinion of the Court the Plaintif shall have his judgement by the Statute Peryam If in Debt upon an Obligation he doe not shew the place 36 El. rot 266. yet if the Defendant plead a collaterall bar as a release or such like judgement shall be given for the Plaintif notwithstanding by the Statute if it be found for him by Verdict 8. THe case of Beverley was moved again at this day Utlary how the Queen had brought a Scire facias against him to shew wherefore she should not have the Presentation Walmisley It seemeth that she shall not have the Presentation for allthough we have recovered our Presentation Disseiser outlawed yet before execution we have but a right As if a man be disseised and after outlawed he shall not forfeit the profits of the land And allso she hath brought a Scire facias and this will not lie except for him which is party or privy Peryam After that you have recovered it is a chattle and then forfeited by the Utlary Anderson The judgment that he shall recover doth not remove the Incumbent and as long as he remains Incumbent the Plaintif hath nothing but a right Then Peryam sayd to Walmisley argue to that point whether he hath but a right or no but for the other point that she shall not have a Scire facias for want of privity that is no reason Recoverer in debt outlawed for in many cases she shall have a Scire facias upon a Record between strangers Anderson If I recover in debt and after am Outlawed Recovery in quare impedit shall the Queen have this debt Windham If I recover in a Quare impedit and dye who shall have the presentation my Executor or my Heir Sed nemo respondit Curia It is a new and a rare case and therefore it is good to be advised VValmisley Whatshall we in the mean time plead in bar to the Scire facias Curia Demur in Law if you hold the matter insufficient VValmisley Sowe will 9. ONe Combford was robbed within the Hundred of Offlay in Stafford-shire Hue Cry and he and his servant pursued the Felons into another County and there one of the Felons was taken and the Hundreds did nothing And now Puckering moved that he might have an Action against the Hundred Plaintif a Hundreder allthough that he himself was resiant within the same Hundred Hue and Cry by strangers but the opinion of the Court was against him for they sayd that if a stranger make Hue and Cry so that the Felons be taken the Hundreds are discharged Another question he moved because that but one of the Felons was taken Quaâ—re But quâ—re what was sayd to that for I heard not 10. FRancis Ashpool brought an Action against the Hundred of Evenger in Hampshire Hue Cry for that he was robbed there And the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. that he was robbed after the setting of the Sun per diurnam lucem and that afterwards the same night he came to Andever which is in another Hundred and there gave notice of the robbery and the morning following the men of Andever came into the Hundred of Evenger and there made Hue and cry about ten a clock in the morning and that there were many Towns nearer to the place where he was robbed than Andever was and allso within the same Hundred of Evenger and that the Melafacters escaped and they prayed the advise of the Court. Now this matter rested on two points Robbery after Sunset the first was if he which is robbed after the Sun-set shall have the benefit of the Statute and the other was if he had made Hue and cry accordingly Hue and cry or whether any Hue and cry be needfull And Walmisley argued that he which is robbed after the Sun-set shall be helped by the Statute for they are bound to keep watches in their Towns to take night-walkers And to the second he said that the Statute doth not speak of any Hue and cry but only recens insecutio and that ought to be done by the Hundreders Shuttleworth to the contrary No distcess and that it ought to be in the day and cited Stamf. fol. 35. and after the Sun-set it cannot be said to be day For the Lord cannot then distreyn for his Rent per 11 Hen. 7. 4. nor demand Rent for he is not bound to be there after the Sun-set and he vouched Fitz. titulo core 302. but at this time the Judges seemed to hold for the Plaintif Anderson The Countries are bound by the Statute to
Wast and the Defendant demurred in law whether such an action will lie against him or no it was for cutting down of trees And at this day Anderson rehearsed the case and said that they were all agreed that the action will lye well enough vi armis for otherwise he shall have no action for wast is not maintainable and Littleton saith that Trespass lyeth so seemeth the better opinion in 2 E. 4. 33. for otherwise this being a common case it shall be a common mischief And he commanded the Pregnotary to enter judgement for the Plaintif 18. Snagg moved to stay Judgdment in the case of Blosse Property and he cited 2 Ed. 4. 4. If the servant of a Mercer take his goods Trespass will not lie sed vide librum and he cited 3 Hen. 7. 12. that it shall not be Felony in a Shepherd or a Butler Windam If he had imbezeled the goods it is Felony and for the case of 3 Hen. 7. it is Felony without question Property quod fuit concessum Anderson The servant hath neither generall nor speciall property in the goods Taking Embezeling and he shall have no Action of Trespass if they be taken away and therefore if he take them Difference Trespass lieth against him and if he imbezell them it is Felony wherefore he commanded to enter Judgement for the Plaintif 19. THomas Taire and Joane his Wife brought an Action of Wast against Pepyat Pas 25. Eliz. and declared how that the Defendant was seised in Fee Rot. 602. and made a Feoffment to the use of himself for life Wast and after to the use of the Mother of Joane in Fee who died and it descended to her and after the Defendant made Wast c. The Defendant pleaded that he was and yet is seised in Fee Absque hoc that he made the Feoffment in manner and form pro ut c. And the Jury found a speciall Verdict that the Defendant made a Feoffment to the use of himself for life but that was without impeachment of Wast the Remainder in Fee as before And the Plaintif prayed Judgement and the doubt was because they have found their issue and more viz. that it was was without impeachment of Wast Anderson Whether it were without impeachment of Wast or no was no part of their issue and then the Verdict for that point is void and the Plaintif shall have Judgement VVindham The doubt is for that they have found that the Defendant is not punishable and where a Verdict discloseth any thing whereby it appeareth that the Plaintif ought not to Recover Judgement thereupon ought to be given against him As in detinue the Plaintif counts upon a Bailment by himself Bailment and the Jury findeth that another Bailed to his use the Plaintif shall not Recover And a Serjeant at the Bar said that the issue is not found Anderson That which is found more than their issue is void Assise and therefore in 33 Hen. 6. where the Tenant in Assise pleades nul Tenant de franktenement nosme en lasise â—i troâ—â— ne so it c. and the Jury found that he was Tenant but that he held jointly with another and there the Plaintif Recovered and so he shall here And at length by the opinion of all the Court Judgement was entred for the Plaintif for he might have helped the matter by pleading 16. IN debt by May against Johnson Payment the Condition was to pay a 100. l. to Cowper and his Wife and by all the Court if he plead payment to Cowper alone it sufficeth for payment to him alone sufficeth without naming the Wife 15. IN a Quare impedit by Sir Thomas Gorge Avoydance against the B. of Lincoln and Dalton Incumbent the case was that a Mannor with an advowson appendant was in the hands of the King then the Church becoms void and after the King grants the Mannor with the advowson now the question was if the Patentee shall have this presentation or the King And all the Judges held clearly that the avoydance doth not pass for it was a Chattell vested in the King and they cited 9 Edward 3. 26. and Dyer fol. 300. but Fitzh nat br is contrary fol. 33. 11. 22. DEbt was brought by Goore Plaintif for 200. l. Bailiwick upon such a Bill Be it known unto all men by these presents that I Ed. Wingfield of H. in the County of Midd. Esq do acknowledge my self to be indebted to William Goore in 200. l. for the payment whereof I mine Heirs and Assigns do licence the said G. to have and use the Baliwick of Dale to the use c. untill c. the Defendant pleaded in bar that the Plaintif had used the said Bailiwick and said no more nor at what place he had received the money and Suagg moved that the Plea was not good because he had not shewed the value which he ought to have done Value and the Judges were of the same opinion and they said moreover that this Plea is not good in bar of this specialty for payment is no plea upon a single Bill Licence and he might have brought his Action upon this Bill without using the Bailiwick for this Licence is no Condition 〈◊〉 De Term. Hill Anno Eliz. xxx 1. AN Ejectione Firme was brought by Dorothy Michell against Edmund Dunton Covenant and the case was this A man maketh a Lease for years rendring Bent upon Condition with a Covenant that the Lessee shall repair the Houses with other Covenants And after he deviseth the same Lands to the same Lessee for more years rendring the like Rent and under the like Covenants as in the first Lease the remainder over to another in Fee and dyeth Then the first Lease expires and the Lessee held in by force of the Devise aâ—d did not repair the Houses so that if the first Lease had been in esse Condition he had broken a Covenant now if this shall be a Condition so that he in Remainder may enter was the question Shuttleworth This is a Condition for he cannot have an Action of Covenant and then the intent was that it shall be a Condition But all the Court was against him and that the intent was not so for the words are under like Covenants which words do not make a Condition allthough they be in a Will Anderson The nature of a Covenant is 〈◊〉 to have an Action and not to enter and so all the Court held it no Condition And Perâ—â—â— said that under like Covenants were void words and therefore Judgement shall be given against you 2. PUckering the Queens Serjeant moved Fee determinable that one Adams was indebted to the Queen in a great sum which was stalled to pay yearly so much untill all werere paid And for security he levied a a fine to William Lord Burghley Lord Treasurer and others that they should
the Lessee re-entered into the Close Rent extinct by empairing the estate and whether the rent were revived or not was the question And Popham and Gawdy The rent is not revived and that the Lessee shall hold the Close discharged of any Rent by the folly of the Lessor to impair the estate of the Lassee 16. DOwnall brought a Writ of Formdon against Catesby in the Common-place Error and there was a speciall Verdict found and Judgement given for a default in the Writ against the Plaintif and the Plaintif brought Error and alleged for Error that after Verdict given no default in the Writ shall prejudice the party per le Statute de 18 Eliz. cap. 14. Popham chief Justice sayd if there be no Writ it is holpen by the Statute Insufficient Writ â—ot holpen but it is otherwise if there be an insufficient Writ in matter for that is not holpen but a Writ that is insufficient in form and sufficient in matter is holpen And in every Writ of Formdon there are two things requisite the one is the gift the other the conveyance to the Demandant and if either of these two fail the Writ is insufficient in substance and is not holpen by the Statute 17. PEter Palmer of Lincolns Inne brought an action upon the case against one Boyer Slander of a Counsellor at Law and declared how he was an Utter-barrester of the Law and got his living by practising of the Law and was Steward of divers Courts and namely of one John Petty Esquire and the Defendant praemissorum non ignarus to the intent to prejudice the Plaintif in his good name and practise sayd of the Plaintif these English words viz. Peter Palmer is a paltry Lawyer and hath as mâ—ch Law as a Jackanapes and it was pleaded in arrest of Judgement that the words would not maintain an action for they are not slanderous for it is not sayd he hath no more Law than hath a Jackanapes for then it had been clear that the action is maintainable for by that he had abated the opinion of his Learning but it is not so in this case for the words are that he hath as much Law as hath Jackanapes and this is no impeachment of his Learning for every man that hath more Law than Jackanapes hath as much Et non allocatur for the comparison is to be taken in the worst sense and tant amounts that he hath no more Law than Jackanapes per quod Judgement was given for the Plaintif for this is a slander in his profession by which he doth acquire his living 18. ONe libelled in the Spirituall Court for Tithe of Billet Prohibition Faggot ' and Talwood And averred that it came of Birch Maple Hasell and Hume and thereupon a Prohibition was sued surmising that they came of Oke Ash Elm and Birch And in the Spirituall Court allbeit one Libell for wood of one nature and that is found of another nature yet sentence shall be given for the Plaintif The Court said that was absurd Absurd practise of the spirituall Court and therefore they would hear a Civilian speak to that point Cook Attorney Generall If consultation shall not be granted then farewell all Tithe of Wood for in truth in every faggot of Birch there is put a great stick of Oak or Ash intending by that to privilege the whole faggot of Tithe Nam crescit in orbe dâ—lus Webb Clark said the cunning is of your side to Libell for fagot For if you had Libelled for Maple Birch or Hasell no Prohibition would have been sued And it was adjudged in this Court in Molins case one Libbelled for billet and fagot generally without shewing of what Wood they were made And upon pleading upon the Prohibition Partable tithable it appeared to the Court that part was tithable and part not And for that they could never obtain a Consultation Cook It doth not appear here that there was any mixture so the case is not like Webb You have no Right to have Tith of fagot for that part thereof is not tithable being Oak so by your Covetousness to have more than is your Right you have lost that that is your Right Et adjornatur And after at another day in the same Term it was moved again by Savile Lanes case which said that it was adjudged in Lanes case that tith shall never be paid for Hasell-wood wich is mixt with Oak in fagots quod Gawdie negavit Fenner He ought to have pleaded the speciall matter to have had a Consultation Seeciall pleading viz. how much of the fagot was Hasell for so it was done inter Molius Dames And therefore forasmuch as it is not so done Consultation shall not be granted for no part of that and of this opinion were all the Justices quod nota 19. NOta per Master Kemp Secondary of the Kings Bench Office Appearance if a Latitat goeth forth against the Husband and Wife and the Husband onely is taken The Husband shall find surety for himself and his Wife or otherwise he shall lie in Prison untill he find bail as well for his Wife as for himself and said that this hath been the use of the Kings Bench by the space of forty years of his knowledge 20. SCire facias was brought by Middleton against Hall Usury after Judgement to execute a Judgement The Defendant pleaded that he borrowed of the Plaintif 100. l. to give him 120. l. for the loan thereof for a year And the Plaintif for his assurance would have the Defendant confess this Judgement of 120. l. And so he pleaded the Statute of Usury in bar to this Scire facias and upon that the Plaintif demurred in Law Godfery prayed Judgement for the Plaintif The words of the Statute of Usury are all Bonds Contracts and assurances Collaterall or other made c. shall be utterly void But here this Judgement may not be said any assurance for the money but is a Judgement upon the assurance for which c. Clark contra But the whole Court being twise moved held clearly that this is no plea to defeat a Judgement But if such matter had been the Defendant ought to have pleaded that upon the first Action in bar and so not to suffer the Judgement Popham Here are two inconveniences one to defraud and defeat the Statute of Usury the other to avoid Judgements upon such suggestions which might be pleaded in bar in the first Action and after the Plaintif had Judgement to recover 21. MArtin Slander of an Attorney Attorney of the Kings Bench brought an Action of the case against Burling for slanderous words viz. Martin is he your Attorney he is the foolishest and simplest Attorney towards the Law And if he do not overthrow your cause I will give you my ears he is a fool and an ass and so I will prove him If these words be actionable or not was the question
date of the sayd Obligation whereof the Action is brought if the said W. A. do save and keep harmless the sayd T. A. of and from the said Obligation that then c. The Defendant pleaded payment secundum formam effectum condition is praedictae and upon this Plea the Plaintif demurred in Law and Judgement given for the Plaintif for the Defendant ought to plead non damnificatus 91. HUntley brought a Writ of Accompt against Griffith Account Baron Feme and the case was that one devised a certain sum of money to a Feme covert And the Husband and Wife made a Letter of Attorney to the Defendant to receive the same money of the Executor who did receive it accordingly to the use of the woman And the Husband and Wife both dye and the Administrator of the Womans Husband brings this Action Tanfeild argued that the Action is not maintainable for when the Legacy was devised to the woman the Husband and Wife ought to joyn in the Action and if the Wife dye the Husband hath no remedy And when the Husband and the Wife make a Letter of Attorney to receive the money this principally is to be sayd the act of the woman and the Husband joyneth with her but for conformity and for that it appears in 19 Eliz. 354. if Baron and Feme levy a Fine of the Wives land and the Wife onely declares the use of the Fine it is good and by 16 Ed. 4. 8. If a man be a Receiver to a woman sole which afterwards takes a Husband and he and his Wife assign Auditors to the Receiver they both shall joyn in an Action of Debt for the Arrerages Altam è contra and sayd that the concourse of all our Books are that when money is delivered to deliver over to another Letter of Attorney by the Husband only Debt due to a Feme sole that other shall have an Action of Accompt allbeit that before that time he had not any property And 6 Ed. â— 1. that proveth Gawdy It seems to me the Action is well brought for the matter whereupon you stand is the Letter of Attorney and I say if the Husband sole had made the Letter of Attorney For by the entermartage the duty became the husbands if he could attain it in the life of the wife which he did by the receipt of his Bayly it had been well enough and when the money is received to the use of the Husband and the Wife now by that the Husband hath interest Popham I am of the same opinion for if Debt be due to a woman sole upon an Obligation and after she take an Husband and the Husband sole makes a Letter of Attorney to J. S. to receive that and J. S. receives the same now the Husband sole shall have an accompt against J. S. Fenner accord so Judgement was given for the Plaintif 92. THe Lady Gresham brought a Scire facias upon a Recognisance against William Man as terr Verdict in a Scire fac upon Recognisance Tenant The Defendant pleaded in abatement of the Writ that one Bedingfield was seised in Fee of three Acres of land not named Judgement si execut c. And the issue was if the aforesaid three Acres of land were the land of the aforesaid Bedingfeild or not and the Jury found that B. and J. S. were Jointenants of the said three Acres and whether this Verdict hath found for the Plaintif or Defendant was the question Whether Joyntenancy shal be sayd a Seisin Gawdy I think it may never be said the Land of Bedngfield onely And to prove that he vouched 28 Hen. 8. Dyer 32. in debt for Rent the Plaintif declared of a demise of 26 Acres rendring the said Rent The Defendant pleaded that the Plaintif demised to him 26 Acres and 4 Acres more without that that he demised the twenty Acres onely And the Jury found that he Leased but 22 Acres and there that was good for the Defendant hath confessed a demise of 26 Acres and then the Verdict should have been that the 4 Acres ultra were not demised and allso he said when two men made a Feoffment the Feoffee shall be in by both the which is a strong proof that the one sole is not seised Fenner According to the matter in question I think it is found for the Plaintif for the pretence of the Defendant is to have a companion against whom the Scire facias shall be as well brought as against himself And in 46. Edw. 3. That in casu proviso if issue be taken upon an Alienation in Fee Forfeiture by alienation and the Jury find an Alienation pro Termino vitae this is a Verdict good enough and the Plaintif shall recover for the Alienation to the Defendants Inheritance is the question And whether it be in Fee or for life it is but form and so in this case Popham by pleading of the truth the Defendant might have been holpen but not as he hath pleaded here as if one plead his Freehold and another say his Freehold absque hoc that it is the Freehold of the Plaintif and upon that they are at issue And the Verdict finds that the Plaintif and Defendant are Tenants in Common Now this Verdict is found for the Plaintif for he that makes the first lie shall be triced and this was the Defendant Fenner In this case one Tenant may not have an Action against an other Iointenants make a statute and it was agreed in this case if there are two Jointenants and the one make a Statute and after joines with his companion in a Feoffment of that Land now the moity of the Land may be extended upon this Statute Godfry When it appears unto the Court that there is another against whom the extent shall be then the Plaintif his Writ shall abate Gawdy No truly for by 44 Edw. 3. if a Writ of Dower be brought against the issue in tail which is remited and the Defendant plead ne unques seisi que Dower and the Verdict find the remitter yet the Plaintif shall have the Judgement for the Tenant if he will have advantage of that ought to plead it 93. THe Parson of Ramesey â—ued in the spirituall Court for Tithes of Asp Prohibition for Asp and a Prohibition was awarded And Fenner said that it was adjudged before that time that Asp should not pay Tithes and also it was agreed if a man cut trees for Housboot No Tithes for housboots c. or other usuall bootes Hedgboot Ploughboot Cartboot and Fireboot Tithes shall not be paid of them 94. NOta per Fenner Justice Account that an Action of accompt shall be maintainable against a servant but not against an Apprentice 95. HOme was indicted for that he had spoken against the book of Common prayer Depravation upon endictment Yelverton The Indictment as it appears is taken before the Lord Anderson and Baron Gent Justices of
the Court the exception si pro eisdem duabus partibus made the Plea evill without question and therefore gave judgement for Windham that he should have Attornment but they said nothing to the other points 10. SHuttelworth came to the Bar Verdict and shewed how an Ejection firm was brought of an entry into certain Lands the Defendant pleaded not guilty and thereupon the Jury found that he entred into one moity and not into the other and this he alleged in Arrest of Judgement Anderson It seemeth that Judgement shall not be given for this is an Action personall and is not like to a Praecipe quod reddat Rodes It seemeth the contrary by 21 Edw. 4. fol. 16. b. fol. 22. see there the case intended Anderson The cases are not alike 11. IN the Exchequor Chamber before all the Justices c. the case was such John Capell gave the Mannor of How-Capell and Kings-Capell in the County of Hereford to Hugh Capell in tayl the remainder to Rich. Capell in tayl with divers remainders over the Donor dieth Hugh hath issue William and dieth Richard grants a rent charge of fifty pound to Antony his son William selleth the Land to Hunt by fine and recovery with Voucher and dieth without issue Antony distreineth for Arrearages and the Tenant of Hunt brings a Replevin and A. avows the taking whereupon the Plaintif demurs in Law Fenner It seemeth that the Avowant shall have Return and first I will not speak much to that which hath been agreed here before you that a Remainder may be charged well enough for by the Statute the Remainder is lawfully invested in Richard and I agree well that no Formdone in a Remainder was at the Common Law and so are our Bookes in 8 Ed. 2. and Fitzh in his Nat. brev saith that it is given by the equity of the Statute At the Common Law there was no Formdone in discender now it is given by the Statute of Westminster 2 cap. 1. For in novo casu erit novum remedium apponendum And I have taken it for Law that when a thing is once lawfully vested in a man Lawful vesture it shall never be devested without a lawfull Recovery and here the Recovery doth not touch the Rent and I think that allthough the Remainder was never executed in possession yet the Grantee of the Rent shall confess and avoyd it well enough The Fine is not pleaded here with proclamation and therefore it is but a bare discontinuance in proof whereof is the case in 4 of Ed. 3. Tenant in tayl makes a discontinuance Distress per grantee before entrie of the grantor yet he in Reversion may distrein for his service And if there be Tenant for life the Reversion to a stranger and he in Reversion grant a Rent charge Tenant for life is disseised and dye the Grantee of the Rent shall distrein allthough that he in Reversion will never enter And so if Tenant in tayl the Remainder to the right heirs of I.

keep their Country in such sort so that men may safely travell upon their way So that at this time the Court held that he should be aided by the Statute and also that no Hue and cry was necessary or convenient to be made by the party but they were not resolved and therefore they gave a day to have it argued again 11. AN Action upon the case was brought for these words Normans case thou wouldest have stoln a piece of cloth or else thou wouldest have delivered it to my Wifes Daughter and thou art a thief and an arrant thief and I will prove it and upon not guilty pleaded it was found for the Plaintif And the Defendant spoke in arrest of Judgement because the former words proved but onely an Intent Words which was no Flony and the last words shall be referred thereunto and therefore the Action not maintenable But now Shuttleworth moved for Judgement for the Plaintif because the last words are sufficient by themselves and shall not be referred to the former because they were spoken absolutely by themselves and so was the opinion of three Justices Anderson absente Rodes Otherwise it is if the words had been Therefore and therefore thou art a thief 12. SAmuell Hayles brought an Action of debt upon an Obligation the Condition was that if the Defendant did pay to the Plaintif 40. l. within twenty dayes after the retourn of one Russell into England from the City of Venice in the parts beyond the Seas that then c. and the Defendant pleaded in Bar that Russell was not at the City of Venice whereupon the Plaintif demurred in Law and at this day the Record was read and clearly per 3. Justices Anderson absente it is no good Plea For in such cases where parcell is to be done within the Realm and parcell without the Realm they ought to plead such a Plea as is triable in this Realm and therefore they commanded the Serjeant to move for Judgement when Anderson was present and so he did the last day of the Term and Judgement was given for the Plaintif by all the Court. 13. IN Trespass by Moor against Hills Attornment the Defendant pleaded that the Dean and Chapter of Westminster made a Lease tâ— one Payn who made Leases out of it first to A. for certain years rendring Rentand after the end of that Lease then to B. rendring Rent and afterwards sold all the entire interest to the Defendant to whom the second Lessee which had no possession Attorned Possession And the Plaintif moved that he might plead a better Attornment for this is not good because it is no Attornment And so was the opinion of the Court and therefore they gave him day to amend his Plea or else let a Demurrer be entred 14. VPon a wager of Law Payment by estranger it was said by Anderson that if I am bound to you to pay you a certain sum of money and a stranger deliver you a Horse by my assent for the same debt this is no satisfaction So if I be indebted upon a simple contract and a stranger make an Obligation for this debt the Debtor cannot wage his Law for this doth not determine the Contract Et nullut dedixit 15. BEtween Peirce and Davy this was the case Legacie A man covenants with I. S. to pay to A. B. and C. every of them x. l. at the age of twenty four years and makes an Obligation to perform the Covenant And afterwards makes his Will in this sort Item I will that every one of my Wifes Children viz. A. B. and C. shall have every of them x. l. at their severall ages of 21 years in performance of my Bond and Covenant in that behalf made at the time of my Mariage and not otherwise and dyeth Then A. B. and C. sued in the spirittuall Court Prohibition for these Legacies and Peirce brought a Prohibition and they prayed a consultation and the Court seemed to encline to their demand because they were all strangers to the Covenant but yet they would not absolutely grant it And afterwards in Termino Pasch 30. it was moved again and then the Court doubted because it was not given as a Legacy allthough that it was payable before for that it was given in performance of the Covenant and not otherwise and Anderson and Rodes said precisely that a consultation should not be granted sed alii haesitabant But yet they all thought it good reason and conscience that it should be payd wherefore they compounded the matter and gave day to Peirce to pay the money and 2 pound 8 pence to them which had sued in the Spirituall Court for their costs The same Testator allso devised diverse summs of money to his Wife to pay to the said A. B. and C. in performance of his Covenant who had the money accordingly And in debt brought upon the Obligation for the same Covenant the Executor pleaded plene administr 〈◊〉 and upon the Evidence all this matter appeared and the opinion of the Court in the Exchequor was that it shall be assetz and so adjudged there 16. BUrnell of Shrewsbery was robbed in Buckinghamshire Hue and cry and thereupon he brought his Action against the Hundred who pleaded not guilty and the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. that he was robed the day and year specified in the Declaration but in another place within an other Parish than he had alleged but they found allso that both the Parishes were within the same Hundred and thereupon they prayed the advise of the Court. And three Justices Anderson being in the Starchamber held clearly that the Plaintif shall have Judgement and they said that so was the opinion of my Lord Anderson allso for it is not materiall within what Parish he is robbed so that it be within the same Hundred 17. RIchard Hamington Administr of the goods and Chattels of Isabell Oram brought an Action of debt against James Richards and Mary his Wife Future charge by possibility Administraterix of the goods and Chattells of Laurence Kydwelly upon a bond for performance of covenants and the case was such Tenant for 31 one years deviseth to his Wife as long as she shall be sole and Widow the occupation and Profits of his Term and after her Widowhood expired all the Lease and interest to Reignold his Son and dieth and the Wife hath the Term by force of the Devise and he in the Reversion by Indenture bearing date quinto Decemb An.

Defendant shall be taken and shall make a Fine wherefore forasmuch as he shall recover no land the entry into the land cannot purge the offence and wrong which is made punishable by the Statute and so was the opinion of the whole Court And the Court then held opinion likewise that if a man be disseised and after re-enters and is disseised again Assise that he ought to have an Assise of the last entry and not of the first 27 Ass pl. 42. 4. ONe Powell was sued in the Common-Pleas Privilege and as he was coming to Westminster he was arrested in London and thereupon had a common Writ of Privilege surmising that he was coming to retain Counsell and Walmisley prayed that he might be examined whether he did so or no but the Court would not Walmisley It is no reason that if he be going about other matters he should have the privilege of this place Curia A hundred Writs have been allowed without any examination Walmisley In 10 Hen. 6. 4 Hen. 7. such an examination was made Anderson But that was not de rigore Juris and all the Court refused utterly to examine him But Walmisley sayd privily that it was against the Law 5. DOrothy Millington brought Debt against J. Burges for 9 l. and declared that he bought certain Oad Wager of Law and the truth of the case was this Oad was sold to him upon condition that if she did not prove it to be good and sufficient then he should pay nothing for it and all this was disclosed by the Defendant upon his Wager of Law Detinue Windham If the case be so then you may wage your Law and it was sayd that she must have detinue for the Oad 6. IN an Avowry made by the Lady Rogers Title in avowry it was sayd by the Court Anderson absente that it is sufficient for the Avowant to plead his Freehold but if the Plaintif will traverse the same he ought to make himself a title Nelson Pronotary so are all our Presidents Peryam It is not sufficient to make it of his own seisin but he must make it Paramount his own seisin 7. WAlmisley moved for Judgement in the case of Richard Hanington for the Plaintif For he sayd that it was not clearly discharged because of the possibility of the charge ensuing allthough the charge were not then presently executed in proof whereof he sayd that it is not all gone by the acceptance of the Feoffment and then it is a bargain for a Lease for years is a bargain for there he hath quid pro quo Allso it is a Title as in Nichols case in the Commentaries And then allthough he had nothing which he could release because it was casuall whether it shall happen or no yet now when it happens it is a charge ab initio and thereupon he cited 9 H. 6. where one which had nothing but a possibility may maintain And so where a man makes a Feoffment and covenants that it shall be discharged as here and afterwards his Wife recovers her Dower the Covenant is broken and yet it was but a possibility And 8 Eliz. where a man covenants that it shall be discharged and he had granted a Rent charge to begin twenty years after this was not discharged Fenner argued to the contrary for the reasons moved by him before Peryam Here allthough it be no charge at the time of the Feoffment yet it is not discharged for if it were discharged then it shall never be charged afterwards And so was the opinion of all the Court Anderson absente and after at the end of the Term when Anderson was present they were all agreed that it was an incumbrance and not discharged of the incumbrance and therefore they gave Judgement for the Plaintif 8. IN Avowry by Johns of Surrey Esquire Tenure it was sayd by Anderson for Law that if a man before the Statute of quia emptores terrarum makes a gift and reserveth to himself upon every alienation the value of the Land by a year this shall be adjudged according to the value of the Land at the time of the tenure and not that whereunto it is enhauâ—ced at this day for a tenure ought to be certain when it is made 9. â—Aven brought Debt upon an Obligation against Stockdale who pleaded non est factum Statute 23 H. 6 and the Jury in Norfolk found this specially Verdict that the Defendant was sued by the Plaintif and made a Bond to the Plaintif endorced with Condition that if the sayd S. did personally appear in the Queens Majesties Court called the Kings bench and then and there make answer to such matter as the Plaintif should object against him the sayd Plaintif giving him warning that then c. And the Plaintif was neither Sherif nor Sherifs Officer for the pretence of the Defendant was to avoyd it by the Statute of 23 Hen. 6. And now the Plaintif prayed Judgement Anderson The case is no more than this A man is bound to another to appear at his suit in the Kings-bench and doth not so if this Obligation shall be avoyded and I see no colour to avoyd it for it is not within the Statute and all the Judges agreed clearly that it is not within the Statute and therefore they gave Judgement for the Plaintif 10. BLosse brought Trespass vi armis against Halmon for taking of his Goods Possession the Defendant pleaded not guilty and the Jury found a speciall Verdict that the Plaintif at the time of the Trespass supposed was of the Mystery of the Grocers and that the Defendant was his servant and put in trust to sell res mercandisas detempore in tempus in shopa sua existen and he took those goods and carried them away c. and they prayed the advise of the Court The doubt was because the action was vi armis whereas the Defendant had the custody or if this shall be called a custody Shuttleworth for the Plaintif and he cited the case in Littleton fol. 15. if I deliver my sheep to compost your land Sheep and you kill them I shall have trespass whereto the Justices agreed and held clearly that he shall have this action well enough Auctority Peryam he hath but an auctority only and not any custody or possession v. 2.

and did not say praedict Edward Seymour And all the Justices agreed that this was amendable And so the first judgement was affirmed 18. ANother Writ of Error was there brought upon a judgement which Rawlyns had to recover lands in the Kings bench Rent suspenpended and the Case was such A man makes a lease of ten acres for ten yeares rendring rent upon a Condition the Lessee grants 5. acres thereof to a stranger for five years and after grants the residue of the years in the five acres to the Lessor And after the Lessee broke the Condition whereby the Lessor re-entred and if he may do so or if the Condition was suspended or no was the question because he accepted a future interest in parcell Future interest Tenant wayves for it was adjudged in the Kings bench that the Condition was not suspended and now this was assigned for error And all the Justices except Anderson and Peryam held that it is not suspended before he had entred by force of his lease Anderson If I make a lease as here upon Condition and waive the possession this may be suspended before his entrie Cook This is another case Peryam But the reason thereof commeth well to this case And afterwards because the said two Justices dis-assented from the rest it was adjourned over 19. ANother Writ of Error was there brought upon a judgment given in the Kings bench Trover And Cook the famous Utter-Barrester of the Inner-tem moved this question to the Justices If a man lose his goods which come to the hands of another he converteth them to his own use and after the owner dye Day and place of conversion whether his Executors shall have an action of the Case for this Trover and whether he ought to shew the place and the day of the Conversion or no And the Counsellours at the bar said that he ought to shew both for so it was adjudged where an Alderman of London brought an action upon the Case against oue Staynsham upon Trover of an Obligation and it was found that he had broken the seales c. and because he did not shew the time and place of the Conversion he could never get Judgement And now the Justices were of the same opinion but yet Anderson seemed to doubt Peryam Executors at the Common Law shall not have Trespass for a Trespass done in the life of their Testator and the doubt is if they shall have an Action upon the Case Manwood if a man hath another in Execution for debt and the Gaoler suffer him to escape and after the Recoverer dyes shall his Executors have an action against the Gaoler Cook No. Peryam So it seemeth But Anderson Manwood and VVindam clearly to the contrary and that they shall have debt upon this Escape Cook But not an Action upon the Case at the Common Law and here by his own shewing he might have Trespass vi armis and therefore not this action De Term. Trinitat An. Reg. Eliz. xxx 1. RAlph Heidon brought a Writ of Right against Smethwick and his Wife Droit of two parts of forty Acres of Land in Surret and they pleaded that one Ibgrave was seised and devised it to his Wife now one of the Tenants for term of her life the remainder to Benjamin Ibgrave in fee Praying ayd in an Assise which was his heir and dyed and they prayed in ayd of B. I. who came and joyned to them and thereupon they came and pleaded to the grand Assise and the first day of this term the Assise appeared and sixteen were sworn whereof four were Knights and the residue were Squires and Gentlemen and the title was all one as before in T. 28 Eliz. for this same Ibgrave was Tenant in that other Action for the third part And the opinion of all the Court clearly that it is not ayded by the Statute for there is not any certainty in the Grant Name certain but if he had given it a certain name as green Acre then allthough he had mistaken the Parish yet it had been good enough Peryam The Assise may goe their way and they did so and after they being agreed came again to the Bar and the Demandant was called and did not appear whereby the Tenant prayed the Court to record the Nonsuit and it was done Curia All is one as if he had appeared Non-suits for this Non-suit is peremptory for ever the issue being joyned upon the meer droit aliter if the issue had been joyned upon any collaterall poynt 2. IN Trespass by Blunt and Lister against Delabere they were at Issue ' and now the Inquest appeared ready to pass Challenge VValmisley This Inquest you ought not to take for it is favourably made by the Sherif which is within the distress of one of the Plaintifs and shewed how the Sherif held certain lands of a Mannor now in question whereof Lister hath possession and allso hath certain lands for term of years of him and the Plaintifs moved that he ought to take one cause onely 1 Cause Curia He may allege both for the challenge is that he is within the distress and the allegations are but evidence to prove it and then the Plaintif sayd not within his distress whereupon the Court appointed Tryers and the Defendant sayd that all the Jury are favourable Tryors refused and prayed Tryers de circumstantibus Gawdy That cannot be but onely in an Assise and cited 9 Edw. 4. Curia We cannot appoint other Tryers in this case but only of the Jurors wherefore let the fourth and seventh be Tryers but you may refuse them and take others if you will and thereupon the Defendant refused the fourth whereby the third was appointed and they found the Array favourably made and therefore it was quashed 3. A Recovery was had by Arthur Mills against Sir Owen Hopton of divers lands twelve years passed Amendment and by the negligence of the Attorney Warranty of Attorney no Warrant of Attorney was entred for him and now suit was made to the Justices that it might be entered and they all consented thereunto and so it was entered incontinently but first the party made a corporall Oath that he had retained an Attorney and that this was the negligence of his Attorney 4. IN the Exchequer chamber Cook shewed that a Writ of Error was brought between Bedell and Moor Arbitrement and sayd that there was an Error in the Record Error not assigned which was not assigned and prayed that it might be examined allthough that it was not assigned because that it appeared in the Record which was agreed to by the Court. And then he shewed the case that two had submitted themselves for all quarrels ultimo die Novembris An. 24. to stand to the Arbitrement of two others and they Arbitrated that the Plaintif in this Writ of Error should release to the now Defendant all Actions which he might
the Declaration ought to agree with the Writ 14. A Writ of false Judgement was brought upon a Judgement given in a Court of the Deane and Chapter of Westminster Administrators in an Action upon the case brought against one as Administrator And did not shew by whom the Administration was committed which he ought to have done by 32 Hen. 6. 35 Hen. 6. 50. a. and the Assumpsit was laid to be in consideration that Assets came to the hands of the Defendant And whether this were a good consideration was another doubt and it was not averred that the Administrators had goods sufficient after the Debts and Legacies were paid And at this day it was held that when an Action is brought against an Administrator it need not be shewed but in an Action brought by them clearly they ought to shew it And for the other matter whether the Plaintif needed to aver that they had Assets besides the Debts c. it was said that this ought to come and be shewn on the other part And for that Woodwards case in the Commentaries was cited And the next morning Puckering shewed that he had a report of a Judgement given in the Kings Bench that it is not necessary to shew that they had Assets besides the Debts and Legacies c. And therefore he prayed that the Judgement may be affirmed And so it was for Rodes had seen the report of Puckering according to his saying and testified the same whereby Judgement was here given against the Administrator Anderson being in the Starchamber 15. IT was agreed by all the Justices Herriot that for a Herrioâ— service the Lord cannot distrein out of his Fee no more than for a Rent but he may seise a Herriot Custom out of his Fee 16. A Man was outlawed Vtlary and the Sherif retourned the Proclamation tali die omnes singulas proclam fieri feci And did not shew that such a day he made the first and such a day the second c. and this was assigned for Error and prayed that the Utlary night be reversed and so it was 17. FLeetwood shewed that this case came in pleading Rent-service A man had a Rent service payable at the Feast of St. Michael And on Michaelmas day he died about ten of the clock in the morning now he demanded whether his Heir or his Executor shall have the Rent Anderson Hath he not all the day to pay it and upon condition to pay such a sum he may tender it any time before Sun-set Peryam But if the party accept the payment in the morning it is good Curia If it be a case in this Court you ought to demur as your case is and not to be thus Politick 18. A Writ of Error was brought upon a Judgement in the Kings Bench Abatement and one of the parties died hanging the Writ And the Court held this to be an abatement of the Writ and that he ought to purchase a new Writ De Term. Mic. Anno Reg. Eliz. xxx xxxj 1. AFormdon was brought against Haselwood and Haselwood Abatement and the one took the Tenancy of the one Moity Dier 3. 4. Phil. Mar. 134.

IN a Quare impedit brought by the Queen against the Archbishop the disturber Vtlary and the Incumbent the disturber pleaded that long time before he had any thing in the Advowson by whose Utlary the Queen is intitled King Ed. 4. was seised of the Honor of Haststings and granted it to the Lord Hastings in Fee and further granted omnia bona catalla omnium teneutium ejusdem honoris sive manerii residentium non residentium qui forent utlagati c. and so conveyes the Honor by descent to the now Lord Hastings and did not aver that he which was Utlawed Averment was a Tenant of the Honor. Curia It is not good without doubt for otherwise he is not within compass of the Grant and therefore a day was given by which if the Defendant did not shew better matter the Queen should have Judgement 3. IN the Kings Bench Anne Bucher brought an Ejectione Firme against Auncell Samford Devise and other Defendants Glocester And upon not guilty pleaded Hit 30. Eliz. rot 188. the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. that William Samford was seised of the Mannor of Stone-house in the Parish of S. whereof the Tenements in demand were parcell and of divers other Tenements within the same Parish and within a place known in the same Parish which is neither Town nor Hamlet called Ebney in which Samford had a Tenement which hath Lands time out of mind perteining thereunto lying as well in Ebney as in Stone-house which Tenement is in the Tenure of one Bucher by Copy of Court-roll according to the custom of the Mannor Afterwards William Samford deviseth to his Brother after the death of Bucher all that my Tenement with the Appurtenances wherein Bucher dewlleth in Ebney Now the question was whether the Lands in Stone-house perteining thereunto shall pass or no And the famous Cook argued that it should pass for this word Tenement referreth to his dwelling which is in Ebney and not to the place where the Lands lie And therefore he said that words ought to have relation ut ne impediatur sententia sed ut res magis valeat quam pereat Quare impedit and he cited 4 Ed. 3 in a Quare impedit quod permittat praesentare ad ecclesiam de Mourton Majorem and the Defendant demanded Judgement of the Writ for false latin because of Majorem and yet it was adjudged good for it shall be referred to ecclesiam and he cited 19 Ed. 3. 3 Ed. 4. Allso it passeth by this word appurtenances for there was such a Chambridgshire case here within this Twelve-month where a man gave instructions to another to make his Will in this form I will that B. shall have my House with all my Lands thereto apperteining And the other made it in these words I devise to B. my house with the Appurtenances and it was adjudged that
But if a man be indebted to me and after I am Outlawed and then the King releaseth this debt Release of the King of the debt of one outlawed and then I bring a Writ of Error and reverse this Outlary I shall be restored to my action again And here he hath shewen to us a peece of cunning for when he pleads the Outlary in us he hath pleaded the Record specially for otherwise we would have sayd Speciall pleading nul tiel record and then it being reversed it should have been certified for us as there is a case in Dyer Then here allthough that be in by a new presentation yet all the words of our Writ are true in this Scire facias but I grant that Executors shall have a Qnare impedit for a disturbance done to their Testator Executors shal have a Quare impedit Anderson The case in Dyer is thus reported That I when I was the Queens Serjeant and Gerrard now Master of the Rolls then being Attorney of the Queen were of opinion that the Clerk of another shall not be removed and concerning that matter I held then as I doe still that in some cases the Clerk shall not be removed and in some cases he shall for if he come in under the title of the Plaintif Title peramont and since the same then he shall be removed but if he come in by title Paramont he shall not be removed and here for that this is done hanging the Writ it seemeth that he shall be removed For if a man bring a Praecipe and hanging the Writ the Tenant alien yet the recovery is good against him Tenant in a Praecipe aliens and shall allso bind every one under him Peryam That point is clear enough but the question is if by the Outlary the Plaintif hath forfeited his presentation to the Queen For if it be so then this is a new title for the Queen Anderson What reason is there in that when it was an apparent practise of the Defendant to resign for otherwise she could not have presented Plenarty the Church being full before Peryam The practise is not good without doubt but what is the Law Anderson The Law is that the Defendant by his resignation shall never extort the Plaintif from his execution Peryam The point is if by the Outlary the Queen have a new title by reason of the Plaintif and I doubt much thereof if by the judgement she shall have the presentation Anderson I am resolved that there is not any colour in the case but what say you Rodes Truly I hold that the Plaintif shall remove the Clerk Windham And in my opinion it is clear enough that by the reversall of the Outlary the Plaintif shall have his presentation Reversal Anderson Then let Judgement be entred for the Plaintif Peryam In the name of God if you be agreed against me 10. A Writ of Partition was brought by Henry Tannworth Partition and Christian Tannworth against John Tannworth their elder brother for lands in Hawlesteed alias Elsted in Leicester-shire because that Halsteed is parcel of the Soak of Rothelay wherein there is such a custom Members of a Mannâ—r that the lands shall equally descend to all the heirs males and in giving of evidence Walmisley sayd that the members of a Mannor are other Towns in which the Mannor extends and Puckering sayd Soak quid that at this day the Queen may make a Soak For it is nothing else but a Precinct to which divers Mannors come to doe suit and as a great Leet containing divers other Courts and the Evidence was strong for the Tenant for he shewed by plain proof that this was never parcell of the Soak allthough that it was within the ancient Demeasne of Rothelay Domesday as it was proved by the Book of Domesday which was there shewen and a Clerk of the Exchequer read it for other Clerks could not and he sayd and so sayd the Serjeants and the Tenant delivered to Anderson and Peryam an ancient Book of the time of Ed. 2. for their remembrance wherein in 4 Ed. 2. in a nuper obiit it is sayd that if the Lands which have been departible and departed come into the Lords hands by Escheat they shall not be departible in his hands Partible lands Escheat vel in manibus alicujus alius perquisitoris non possunt partiri And he sayd that such was the opinion of Sir Thomas Bromley the last Lord Chancellor upon hearing of the matter there whereby when the Jury came to give their Verdict the Plaintif was Non-suit 11. SHuttelworth shewed how Robert Hughson brought an Action of Debt against B. Office of the Court. as Administrator of F. and declared upon a simple contract made by the Intestate Pasch 30 El. rot 421. and the Defendant pleaded plene administravit and it was found by Verdict against him And now in arrest of Judgement the Defendant alleged that the Action is not maintainable against him upon a simple contract And Shuttelworth thought that now he is past that advantage because he did not shew it in pelading and cited the opinion of Cottesmore in 13 H. 6. And whether the Court ex officio ought to bar the Plaintif or no was the question Rodes It appeareth to us judicially that no action will lie upon a simple contract against Executors or Administrators wherefore then ought the Plaintif to have Judgement Shuttelworth Because by his Plea he took upon him notice of the contract and by 46 Ed. 3. where the Administrator was privy to the retainer of a servant he was charged by a simple contract Rodes Here he did not take notice and in 15 Edw. 4. The Court ex officio abated the Writ Shuttelworth This is by Littleton onely Rodes The case is ruled and Littleton gave Judgement so is the case in 11 Hen. 4. where an Action upon the case is brought against an Inne-keeper A common Ianholder if he be not named Hospitator allthough he plead in bar yet we ex officio ought to abate the VVrit Peryam If he be no Hosteler the Action lyeth not against him And if an Action of Debt be brought and doe not shew the place of the Obligation if the other plead a release this is good enough Shuttelworth So is 18 Edw. 4. A Deâ—d not shewed in Court 6 Hen. 7. Rodes If a man bring an Action and the Defendant plead in bar by Deed and do not shew the Deed and the other pleads in bar and doth not except thereunto but they were at Issue this is Error for we ex officio ought to have adjudged it evill and so is the Book in 22 Hen. 6. or 28 Hen. 6. and I can shew the case Then Shuttelworth sayd privily to his Client I doubt we shall doe no good by our Action Anderson being then in the Star-chamber After at another day Anderson rehearsed the case and sayd
rather to the contrary For common intent is that which shall be intended more strong than any other and not that which resteth indifferent As if a man Plead a Feoffment in fee it shall be intended that the Feoffer was of full age but here common intent is that he was another person because Barber Chirurgeon and Tayler are divers functions by common intent And as to the case put by common intent it shall be intended the same Westm because the place is so notorious that common intent will nor intend any other But Peryam would not grant that case of 21 H. 7. At another day Gawdy said that they have a President in 16. Eliz. where an action was brought here against the Administrator of Francis Fitzherbert Mercer And they pleaded likewise a Recovery in the Kings bench against them as Administrator of F. F. Grocer and allowed for good and in 10 H. 7. wast is brought and doth not say praedict and yet good Peryam For the cases in 10. H. 7. 21 H. 7. It was all in one Plea but it is not so here And for his President Anderson and Peryam said that they would not regard it if it do not appear that Exception was taken thereunto if the Presidents be shewen for matter Matter 〈◊〉 Form 〈◊〉 Presidents but if they be shewen for form then otherwise it is Anderson If I. S. bring a Praecipe against me and I vouch I. S. it shall not be intended the same person â—oucher if he do not say expresly that he is the same person therefore a Fortiori here it shall not be intended the same person Afterwards the next Term Shuttleworth argued again that it shall be intended the same person but all the Court was against him and so they gave judgement for the Plaintif 19 FEnner shewed how Bartholmew Brooksbie hath brought a Quare impedit A thing in action released and declared how A. was seised of the advowson in fee and graunted to him and another the next avoidance and after the church became void and the other released to him all his right c. and the Defendant disturbed him And after they pleaded to issue which was found with the Plaintif and this matter alleged in arrest of judgement that the Release was void and then he hath no cause of action for when the Church became void then it was a thing in action or actionary and therefore could not be granted over by 28 H. 8. Interest shall survive and by the same reason it cannot be released as 1 and 2 P. and M. and 2 and 3 P. and M. in Dyer Anderson If it be an interest it shall survive and by the same reason it may be released And it shall goe to his Executors wherefore then may it not be released Et adjornatur De Term. Mich. Anno xxxix xl Eliz. Reg. 1. TIsdale Maintainance one of the Attorneyes of the Common pleas brought an Action upon the Statute of Maintainance against John al Tree in Chancery lane for Maintainance in a Spirituall Court and by all the Court an Action is not Maintainable for Maintainance in an inferiour Court for this word alibi being in the Statute was expounded to be meant of the Kings Court onely and in the argument of the same case Drew remembred the Court of a Judgement given there in the like case for one Constantine of Wiltshire 2. BEtween Brown and Lother an Action was brought in the Spiritual Court Consultation for these words Thou art a forsworn Knave for thou madest a false account when thou wert Churchwarden and thereupon the Defendant brought a Prohibition supposing the discussing of Perjury to belong to the Temporall Court and upon the opening of the matter to the Court the Plaintif had a consultation because the Perjury was supposed to be committed about the execution of his Office of Churchwarden which doth belong to the Spirituall jurisdiction But otherwise it had been if the Perjury had been supposed to have been committed concerning a Feoffment or other Temporall act per Walmisley Owen 3. BRoughton against Flood Amendment the originall Writ was returned by Needham Esquire Sherif and his Christian name left out Williams moved the Court to have the Christian name of the Sherif put into the Writ but the Court denyed it because the Record was made up and likewise by this means they should make an Outlary good which was now erroneous 4. IN an Advowry the Defendant saith Venue that locus in quo c. is parcell of the Manner of Dale and avows for suit of Court the Plaintif by replication saith that locus in quo c. is parcell of the Mannor of Sale and maketh to himself a title absque hoc that it is parcell of the Mannor of Dale and the Venire faciaâ— was of Dale onely and upon motion all the Court adjudged that it ought to have been of both Mannors and made a rule for stay of Judgement after Verdict This was the case of Atwood of the Middle-Temple 5. IT was sayd by Anderson and Owen Prohibition that a Prohibition will not lye after a sentence in the Spirituall Court and that if the Libell be for such a matter as may be determined in the Spirituall Court no Prohibition will lye unless some Plea be pleaded by the Defendant in that Court which the Judge will not allow For if a Suit be in the Court of Admiralty upon a contract made upon the Sea and the Defendant pleaded a release or a gift after the coming to Land that Court may enquire and try this issue the like for Tythes 2 Rich. 3. 6. IT was sayd by Drew in the Argument of the case between Râ—theâ—â—â— and Green Common that if a Commoner take a Lease of one Acre out of which his Common is issuing that his whole Common is suspended Rent allso where a Lease for years is rendring Rent and for default of payment a re-entry if the Lessor grant the reversion of one Acre Condition the whole condition is gone Also that an entry by the Lessor into any parcel suspends the whole rent during his occupation and Anderson sayd that there is no Common by common right but Common appendant 7. ADams brought an Action of Debt upon an Obligation against Oglethorp Restitution the Defendant pleaded that after the making of the Obligation Trin. 39 Eliz. 〈◊〉 1803. the Plaintif was attainted of Treason for Coyning and pleads the Attainder at length the Plaintif confesseth the Attainder and saith that afterwards the Queen by Letters Patents did pardon him and did restore unto him omnia bona cattella sua and thereupon the Defendant did demur in Law the question was whether Debts by specialty be included in those words 8. EVeling against Leveson Executor of the Testament of Walton Assets in effect the case was this The Queen was indebted to Walton in a hundred pound for
Muskets and Callivers delivered into the Tower for which money Walton took a Debenter from the Queen in the name of a stranger and afterwards dyed and made Leveson Executor who procured the stranger to release and surrender the former Debenter to the Queen and took a new Debenter for the same hundred pound to himself this was adjudged no Assets nor devastavâ—t in the hands of the Executor Leveson upon a speciall Verdict but otherwise it should have been if the first Debenter had been taken in VValtons own name for then it had been a devastavit by the Executor 9.

Trin. 39 Eliz. rot 1345. so that it appeared to the Court that the Plaintif brought his Action before he had an interest in the Land and by all the Court a Rule was given for stay of Judgement after a Verdict but afterwards the Plaintif came and shewed that after Improlance he filed a new originall 10. HEnry Earl of Lincoln brought a Scandalum magnatum against one Michelborn for these words Scandalum magnatum viz. The Earl of Lincolns men by his commandement did take the Goodt of one Hoskins by a forged Warrant c. And the Earl recovered great damages by Verdict and now it was spoken in arrest of Judgement that the words were not sufficient to maintain the Action because it was not averred that the Earl knew the Warrant to be forged and of the same mind was the Court at this time 11. WIlloughby brought an Action of Debt against Milward Debt and declared that the Defendant bought Timber of him for ten pound solvend modo forma sequenti viz. five pound ad festum Pasch proxime sequentem and saith nothing when the other five pound should be payed and the Plaintif recovered the whole ten pound by Verdict and now it was spoken in arrest of Judgement for the cause aforesaid but yet by all the Court it was good enough for the Law intendeth the other part of the money to be due presently if no certain day of payment bee alleged 12. KItchin brought an Action of Debt against Dixson Debt Executor of Craven Mich. 36 37 El. rot 1028. or 1021. the Defendant pleaded ne unques Executor and the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. That Craven in his life time made a Deed of Gift of all his Goods to Dixson and they found likewise that this Deed was to defraud Creditors against the form of the Statute and that the Defendant by colour of this Deed did take the Goods after the death of Craven and if this Deed vvas good then they found for the Defendant if not then they found the Defendant was Executor of his own wrong and so for the Plaintif and by all the Court Judgement was given for the Plaintif 13. IT was sayd by Drew arguendo That if the Grantee of a Rent charge release parcell of the Rent to the Grantor or his heires Rent charge the residue may be apportioned and the Land shall remain chargeable still for that residue but if he release in one Acre parcell of the Land charged then all the Rent is gone 14. IT was said by Glanvile in the argument of the case between Cromwell and Andrews Provisâ— that a Proviso in a conveiance to be performed on the part of the Lessee implies a re-entry allthough there be no speciall words of re-entry but otherwise it is when it ariseth on the part of the Lessor and Vouched bendlowes case where there was a Covenant going between the Habendum and Proviso But where the Proviso standeth substantively as where I grant a Rent charge Proviso that he shall not charge my person Condition this is no Condition but a Qualification Allso where a Feoffment is made upon Condition to grant me a Rent Charge payable at Easter and Christmas if the grant be not made before the first Feast which shall next happen the Condition is broken and he put a difference where the Condition must be performed by none but himself and where it may as well be performed by his Executors as himself And Drew said then that if there be a Feoffment upon Condition to Re-enfeoff the Feoffer there ought the Feoffor to make a request otherwise if it be to enfeoff another 15. SMith against Bonsall Common in effect the case was such In an Action of Trespass the Defendant pleaded his Freehold Hil. 39. Eliz. rot 1753. and the Plaintif replyed that A. was seised of a Yard-land to which he had Common of Pasture for all maner of Beasts Levant and Couchant upon the same Yard-land and of the Moity thereof did enfeoff the Plaintif the question was whether this Common may be apportioned or else it be extinct alltogether In the argument whereof Drew said that Common sans number cannot be granted over because if it should be granted to a rich man he may surcharge the Common then and leave none for the rest of the Commoners so of estovers uncertain for so the Grantee may burn all the Wood quod Walmisley concessit and he vouched 17 Eliz. in Dyer that a Commoner may purchase parcell of the Land out of which his Common is issuing Purchase after that it be improved by the Lord and not extinguish his Common thereby And he said that if parcell of the Common be inclosed Inclosure a Commoner ought to make but one gap to put in Cattell but Anderson said that he may make as many gapes as he will And it was said by Anderson and Beamont Appendant may be apportioned that Common appendant cannot be for all manner of Cattell but onely for such â—attell as compass the Land and that such Common may be apportioned into twenty parts Append. quid as any Common certain may be Walmisley Owen If my Land to which I claim Common belonging can yield me stover to find a hundred Cattell in Winter then shall I have Common in Summer for a hundred Cattell in the Land out of which I claim Common and so for more or fewer proporitionably which they did expound to be the meaning of pertinen Moity of a Mannor levan and cuban Walmisley If I grant away the moity of my Mannor we shall both keep Courts so if I be disseised of a Moity or that the Moity be in Execution by elegit and we shall both have Common and in apportionment of Common respect ought allwaies to be had to the quality of the Land unto wâ—ich it is alloted Copiholder And a Copyholder may prescribe for Common in the Lords Land within the same Mannor by usitatum fuit but if he claim any other Common he must lay the prescription in the Lord. De Term. Hill An Reg. Eliz. xliii 1. WAlter Ascough prisoner
in arrest of Judgement after Verdict for the Plaintif and the Court seemed prima facie that they are not But after the case was moved by Harris for the Plaintif and then by the consent of all the Court Judgement was given for the Plaintif And Popham said that to say that an Attorney will overthrow his Clients cause is an Actionable slander 22. COllet brought a Writ of Error against Marshe Error for non summons upon a Judgement given in the Common place in a praecipe quod reddat And assigned for Error for that by the Statute de 31 Eliz. cap. 13. it is inacted for the avoiding of secret summons in reall Actions without convenient notice of the Tenants of the Freehold that after every summons upon the Land in any reall Action fourteen daies at the least before the Retorn thereof Proclamations of the summons shall be made on a Sunday at or near the most usuall door of the Church or Chapell of that Town or Parish where the Land whereupon the summons were made doth lie and these Proclamations so made as aforesaid c. ut in Statuto And in this case there was not any Proclamation made at the Church door And whether the Plaintif shall have an Averment against the Sherifs Retorn was the question And adjudged that the party shall not have the Averment against the Retorn of the Sherif No averment against a Sherifs retorn For if the Retorn be false the party shall have an Action upon the case against the Sherif 23. POrtman brought an ejectione firme against Willis and a speciall Verdict was founâ— that Roger Hill was possessed of a Lease for years and gave divers personall Legacies to severall persons and gave all his other goods and Chattells to his Wife and whether the Wife shall have this Term being a Chattell reall or not was the question 24. GRay brings Trespass against Trowe Fish in a pond for entring into his Close and taking of Fish out of a Fish-pond with nets and other Engines The defendant pleaded that long time before the Trespass was done one Thomas Grey was seised of the Close and Pond and put the Fishes into the Pond and after the said Thomas Grey made the Defendant his Executor and died And he as Executor took the said Fishes Chattells descendable and upon that the Plaintif demurred and it was adjudged that the Heir shall have the Fishes in the Pond and not the Executors Felony for they are Chattells descendable but by Clinch it is Felony to take them Popham If they be in a Trunck so that they may be taken out by the hands of men without nets or other Engins there it is Fellony but otherwise it is not Fellony 25. THynn brings Debt against Cholmeley for 300. p. of arrerages of a nomine poenae Nomine poenae against an Assignee and declared of a Lease for years made by him to one Agar rendring Rent And if default of payment be made of payment of the said Rent at any day in which it ought to be paid that then so often the said A. his Executor and Assignes shall pay 3. s 4. p. for every day untill the aforesaid Rent so behind shall be satisfied And shewed how the Rent was behind and not payed for two years But doth not say that he demanded the Rent Jackson The sum demanded is by computation more than is due reckoning but iij. s iiij d. for every day that the Rent is arrear And if that be his intent he demands too little for in two years that will be infinite Gawdy It seemeth that he shall not have but onely iij. s iiij d. for every day Fenner I think he ought to make demand of the Rent or otherwise he shall never have the nomine poenae Gawdy No truly no more than in debt upon an Obligation and he cited 21 Hen. 6. 21 Edw. 4. 22 nomine poenae Fenner The cases are not alike In demand for in debt upon an Obligation there is a duty but otherwise it is of Rent And it was agreed that the action well lieth against an Assignee in this case 26. HUmphrey Parlor brought an Action upon the case for words against I. S. And the words were these Slander viz. Parlor was in Prison in a Jail for stealing of Mr. Piggots Beasts and it was pleaded in arrest of Judgement that the Action doth not lie forasmuch as it is not presciely alleged and affirmed that he stole the Beasts But by Implicatior Nevertheless Judgement was given for the Plaintif for by Fenner if he had said he had been in Prison for suspition of stealing Mr. Piggots Beasts no Action will lie for a treue man may be suspected But here is a direct affirmance of stealing For a man cannot be imprisoned for stealing if he do not steal 27. THe Earl of Pembrâ—ok brought an Action upon the case against Henry Barkley militem Proviso and the case in effect was such that the late Earl of Pembrook Father of the now Plaâ—ntif was seised in Fee of the Mannor of D. in comâ—tatu Somerset and by reason of that he had the Office of Liuetenantship in the Forrest of Cromcelwood and of all the Walks in that And by reason of the said Office had all the commandement of the game within the Forrest and he so seised the Earl granted to Sir Maurice B. Father of the now Defendant and to the Heirs Males of his body the Keepership of a walk called S. in the West part of the Forrest and in the said Deed of grant were such words Provided allwaies and the said Sir Mawrice B. doth Covenant and grant to and with the said Earl of Pembrook that it shall and may be lawfull to and for the Earl his Heirs and Assignes to have the preheminence of the game within the said Walk Provided allso and the said Sir M. B. doth further Covenant and grant to and with the said Earl That neither he the said Sir M. his Heirs or Assignes shall or will cut down any Timbertrees growing within the said Walk And after Sir M. B. died and the said Sir H. was his Son and Heir and cut down Trees within the Walk And the Lord of P. commanded his servants to enter into the said West-walk and there to Walk And Sir H. B. did disturb them and upon that the Action was brought and the point of the case was if the wordes in the second Proviso make a Condition or but a Covenant Gawdy I doubt of the case for all the question of the case is if it be a Condition or but a Covenant And as I am now advised â—â—hit is but a Covenant and no Condition For in all cases where this word Proviso ought to make a Condition there ought to be a perfect sentence to explain the meaning of the parties or otherwise it is no Condition As if the wordes are provided allwaies that if the Rent be behind and
if this deniall was a Conversion they prayed the discretion of the Court. Fenner I think that the deniall is a Conversion Denial is a Conversion for when I lose my goods and they come to your hands by finding and you deny to deliver them to me I shall have an Action of Trespass against you as 33. Hen. 6. is Keeping is an Administration And the very keeping of goods by an Executor shall be counted as an Administration and by the same reason the deniall here shall be counted a Conversion Gawdy I am of the same opinion for by 2 of Hen. 7. If I deliver to you Cloth to keep and you keep it negligently I shall have detinue or an Action upon the case at my pleasure and by 20 Hen. 7. if a Baker contract for Corn and the party do not deliver it at the day the party may have Debt or an Action of the case Tanfield There was a case in this Court 30 Eliz. for the finding and Conversion of a horse But here was no request made by the Plaintif to deliver the horse For which Judgement was given against the Plaintif Curia This is not like our case for the request and deniall makes all the wrong in this case Adjornatur 80. WIseman brought a Writ of Error against Baldwin Limitation upon a Judgement given in Trespass in the Common place upon a speciall Verdict which was that Baldwin was seised of 24 Acres of Land and made his Will and by the same devised his said Land to Henry his youngest Sonne when he should accomplish the age of 24 years upon Condition that he should pay 20. l. to the Daughter of the Devisor And if he shall happen to dye before his age of 24 years then he willed that Richard his eldest Sonne shall have the same Land upon Condition that he should pay to the said Daughter 20. l. And he willed further by the said Will that if both his Sonnes failed of payment of the said 20. l. to his Daughter that the said Land should remain to his Daughter And after this Devisor died and Henry his younger Son entred after the age of 24 years and did not pay the said 20. l. to the Daughter and Richard the eldest Son did enter upon him and whether his entry were lawfull or not was the question Cook Attorney said it was a meer Limitation and no Condition and by consequence the entry of the eldest Sonne is not lawfull and to prove that he cited a Case which he said was in Justice Dallisont reports 9 Eliz. where a man devised Land to his youngest Son upon Condition of payment of a certain sum of money to his Daughter as our case is The Remainder over to another of his youngest Sonns and the first Devisee entred and did not pay the money and he in Remainder took advantage of that and so in our case by the Devise Richard is to have nothing if Henry the youngest Son did not die before 24 yeares and the intent of the Devisor appears that his Daughter shall have the Land for non payment of the money And therefore if the Heir enter for the Condition broken he destroies the whole intent of the Devisor And therefore the entry of the eldest Son is not lawfull Godfery I think it is a meer Condition for so are the words And then when the word subsequent limit a Remainder to the Daughter for default of payment that is not good and he denyed the case cited out of Justice Dallison for he said he was dead long before An. 9 Eliz. Gawdy I take the case of 29 Hen. 8. 33. to be a Limitation and no Condition for there a man devised to the Prior and Covent of St. Bartholomewes Ita quod reddant decano capitulo sancti Pauli 16. l. per An. And if they failed of paiment that their estate should cease and that the Land should Remain to the said Dean and Chapter and their Successors And it seemeth there that the Dean and Chapter for non payment shall not enter But I think the contrary and I think in this case it is a Limitation and no Condition A remainder and a recovery may be created by one deed Fenner If I make a Lease for life upon Condition with Remainder over may my Heir enter for the Condition broken Godfry Yes Sir Fenner Nay truly for then he shall defeat the Remainder which is well limited by me before the which I may not do and this is the reason if I make a Lease for life upon Condition and after grant the Reversion over that before the estate the Condition was gone for that if I re-enter I shall defeat my own grant Gawdy Per 29. Ass If a man devise to one upon Condition that if he shall be a Chaplin to remain over to a Corporation and the Tenant was made Chaplin by which the Heir entred and an Assise was adjudged maintainable against him for his entry was not lawfull Clinch The intent of the Devisor appears that for default of payment the Daughter shall have the Land and therefore the Sonne shall not enter And Wilcocks case in this Court was that a man seised of a Copyhold in the nature of Burrough English surrendred that to the use of his Will and by his Will devised the Land to his eldest Sonne upon Condition that he should pay to the youngest Sonne x. l. And after for non payment the youngest Sonne entred and his entry was adjudged lawfull Gawdy Wee three are agreed that it is a Limitation and no Condition by which the first Judgement was reversed 81. PYne of Lincolns Inne brought an Assumpsit against Widow Hide as Executrix of her Husband Assumpsit of the testator and declared that the Testator in Consideration that the Plaintif had leased to him certain Copyhold-land he assumed to pay to him 100. l. And the Defendant demurred in Law for that the Action is not maintainable against any Executor upon an Assumption of the Testator Popham For the Contrariety of opinion in this Case between the Judges of the Common-place and us we will make it an Exchequer-Chamber case and so try the Law 82. ONe Jackson prayed a Prohibition Prohibition for a Parsons lease and shewed for his Cause thâ— the Parson sued him in the spirituall Court for tithes And ho wt the Statute of 13 El. cap. 20. c. That if any Parson make a Lease for years of his Parsonage and absent himself by the space of 80 daies that the Lease shall be void And the Parson shall forfeit the profits of his benefice for a year and the Statute of 14 Eliz. cap. 11. c. That all bonds and Covenants for suffering or permiting any Parson to enjoy any Benefice or to take any Benefice or to take the profits and fruits thereof shall be adjudged of such force and Validity as Leases made by the same persons of benefices and not otherwise and after the
dyed and if the estate of Tho. was determined by the death of Nich. was the question Johnson There are two points in the case the first if by this word Assignee an Occupant shall have the land and I think he shall not And the second point is when a lease is made to one and his Assignees for his own life and the lives of two others if now his own life confound the other two lives for that that it is greater to the Lessee than the other two lives and he said the Lessee hath no estate but for his own life and when he dyed the state is determined and to prove that he cited the opinion of Knightley in 28 Hen. 8. 10. Where he saith if a lease be made to one pur auter vie without impeachment of Wast the remainder to him for his own life that now he is punishable of Wast for that that when the remainder is limited unto him for his own life Wast against the surviving Joyntenant this drowneth the estate pur auter vie which was in him before And by 3 Edw. 3. If a lease be made to two for their lives without impeachment of Wast and one of them purchase the Fee simple and dye now his heir shall have Wast against the Survivor And I have heard that this was the case of the Lord Aburgaveney for a house in Warwick lane Cook è contra And the case is no more but that a lease is made to one and his Assignes for his own life Remainder for years to the tenant for life and for the lives of two others and I think that all may stand together for a man may have an estate for his own life the remainder for yeares and both may stand together in him simul semel for that that albeit that the Lessee may not have that during his own life yet he may dispose of that and by that means shall have the benefit and so in this case and allso an estate pur auter vie shall be in esse in the Lessee for the benefit of the Occupant and the inconveniencies shall be exceeding many in this case if the estate doth not endure for all their lifes for the Statute of 32 H. 8. inableth Tenant in tayl to make leases for 3 lives or 21 years and usually Tenants in tayl make such leases as these be and for that the generality of the case ought greatly to be regarded and there was a case adjudged in the Common place between Chambers and Gostock Chambers against Gostock where a lease was made to two for their lives and the life of a stranger and one of the Lessees dyed and the Survivor granted the land for his life and the life of the stranger Burdels case and it was no forfeiture and allso it was Burdels case in the Common-place 32 Eliz. where a lease was to him for his own life and the lives of two others and a good lease for all their lives Occupant And for the point of the Occupant there is no question but that the state of him that first enters is better than the state of him that enters under the state of the Lessor Gawdy The cases put by Mr. Johnson are not like to the case in question The greater estate preceding the less both may stand and I will agree them for here the greater estate precedeth the lesser I hold that a lease made to one for his life the remainder to him for anothers life is good for he may it grant over and so I think in this case that so long as any of the lives remain living that the estate remains Fenner I am of the same opinion for I think that the state pur auter vies is in the party to dispose at his pleasure so Judgment was given for the Defendant 87. HArding brought an Action of Trover of goods against Shâ—rman Visne and declared of a Trover at D. in the County of Hunt The Defendant pleaded that he bought the goods of one I. S. at Roiston in the County of Hertford in open Market and demanded Judgement The Plaintif replied that the Defendant bought the same goods of the said I. S. at D. aforesaid in the County of Huntington by fraud and Covin And after bought them again at Roiston as the Defendant supposeth the Defendant rejoines that he bought the same goods bona fide at Roiston Absque hoc that he bought them by fraud apud D. in Com. Hunt Glanvile pleaded in arrest of Judgement that the Visne ought to be of both Counties Gawdy seemeth to agree but for that that Clinch and Fenner held strongly that the Visne was well awarded in one of the Counties therefore Gawdy gave Judgement for the Plaintif for by this speciall Traverse the buying at Roiston shall not come in question 88. PAyton being High-Sherif Keep harmless brought Debt upon an Obligation against his under-Sherif and the Condition was to perform all Covenants in a pair of Indentures conteined and one Covenant was that the under-sherif shall keep all the Prisoners committed to him untill they be delivered by the Law and allso to save Mr. Payton harmless of all escapes made by the said Prisoners And the Defendant pleaded performance of all Covenants Godfry The Plea is not good for one part is in the Affirmative and the other in the Negative By which the Defendant ought to plead that the Plaintif non fuit damnifieatus and so was the opinion of the Court by which day was given to the Deâ—endant to amend his plea. 89. A Man brought an Action of Trespass for entring into an house and breaking of his close in Dale Variance between the declaration and the new assignment or the title of the Plaintif The Defendant said that the said house and close in which the Trespass is supposed to be done conteins twenty Acres and is at the time of the Trespass supposed was his Freehold And the Plaintif replyed quod locus clausa in quo supponitur transgressio est anum messuagium and makes him a Title to it To which the Defendant pleaded non Cul. And it was found for the Plaintif and for that that the Plaintif by his Replication made to him Title but to a messuage and doth not maintain his Declaration which was for the messuage and the close therefore it was awarded quod querens nihil capiat per Billam sed quare if this do not amount to a discontinuance of the close onely and so helped by the Verdict 90. THomas Allen brought a Writ of Debt against William Abraham upon an Obligation bearing date in October Counterbond for an Obligation allready forfeited The Condition was that whereas the sayd Thomas Allen at the request of the above bounden William Abraham standeth bound together with the sayd William unto one J.

WAst war brought by Constance Foster Wast and another against Lessee for years in effect the case was such A man makes a Lease of certain Lands 44 Ed. 3. 34. b. 46 Ed. 3. 22. 28 Hen. 8. 19. a. excepting all manner of Woods the Lessee cuts down Trees and he in Reversion brings an Action of Wast and by the opinion of the Court the Lessee is not punishable in Wast for they were never let and therefore the Plaintif is driven to his Action of Trespass at the Common Law 2. THe Sherif returneth in a Writ of Right four Esquires to make the pannel Return and doth not say that there be any Knights it was sayd by the Court that he ought to return them which be and that there be no more 3. WAst was brought for digging in Land Wast and taking away Okes the Defendant pleaded in bar That the Queen by her Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England granted unto him that he might dig for Mines of Cole in the Land and prayed that it might be entred verbatim and a Grant under the Seal of the Exchequor was entred whereupon the Plaintif Demurred Now came Walmisley and would have amended it and by the opinion of the Court he cannot amend it after the Demurrer be entred Demurrer but Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif if he shew no other matter 4. A Man seised of Lands in Fee Devise and sale by Executors Deviseth to his Wife for life the Remainder to his Son in tayl and if his Son dye without issue of his body that then the Land shall be sold by his Executors and maketh two Executors and dyeth the Wife dyeth one Executor dyeth the Sonne dyeth without issue the other Executor selleth the Land and Gawdy the Queens Serjeant moved whether the sale be good or no and it seemeth to him that the sale is good and vouched the Case in 30 Hen. 8. Brook Devise 31. And now lately it was adjudged in the Kings-bench where a man did Devise his Lands in tayl and for default of such issue that the Land shall be sold by his Sonnes-in-law and dieth having five Sonnes-in-law the one dyed the others sold the Land and this was adjudged a good sale Anderson It seemeth the sale is not good for if one make a Letter of Attorney to two to make Livery and Seisin Livery if the one dye the other cannot doe it So if one grant the Office of Stewardship to two the one of them cannot hold Court alone Stewardship And if one of them may sell to what intent was the Statute of 21 Hen. 8. cap. 4. that those which take the Administration may sell Windham The Statute will not prove the case but it seemeth the sale to be naught And there is a difference where one giveth an interest to two and when he giveth but an authority Interest for an interest may survive but an authority cannot Authority Rodes to the same intent and cited M. 4 Eliz. fol. 219. a. 177. 210. 371. 5. BAttery Battery by Webster against Pain the Action was layd in London and in truth the Battery was committed at Uxbridge in Midlesex the Defendant pleaded that such a day and year at A. in the County of Huntington 11 H. 4. f. 3. 11 H. 4. f. 61. 22 H. 6. f. 33. 21 H. 6. f. 9. 9 E. 4. f. 46. 43 E. 3. 23. the Plaintif made an assault upon him and the hurt c. absque hoc that he is guilty in London Snag moved that the Traverse should not be good Anderson Will you have him to say absque hoc that he is guilty that he ought not for by the speciall matter he hath confessed the Battery and you will not deny but that if his Plea be true he hath good cause to bar the
still for in 31 Edw. 3. an advowson descended to three persons and the youngest is in ward to the King and he granted it to Queen Philip his Wife Advoson to 3 parceners and she granted it over to the Earl of Arundell who granted it to the eldest parcener the Church became voyd the King had the presentation for when the King was possessed of the wardship of the youngest he was intitled to present for all and when he granted the ward over this did not devest the title of the two eldest which was vested in him before and 37 Hen. 6. the Grant of the King upon a false suggestion is voyd False suggestion and in Littleton he shall have account against Executors and yet the Law is clear Account that an Action of Account will not lie against Executors so for all those Reasons Judgment shall be given for the Plaintif Several reserâ—ations Fenner to the contrary And first I agree that they are severall reservations and so is the case which hath been remembred in 8 Ed. 3. A Lease was made of eight Acres of land reserving eight shillings of rent viz. for every Acre 12 d. thiâ— is severall and to that which hath been sayd that the condition is a proviso I deny that for a proviso Provisio quid sit as me seemeth either is in the affirmative that a thing shall be done or in the negative that it shall not be done but here it is neither directly affirmative nor negative and therefore they have found it without commission Agreement but I confess that agreement extends to rent 22 Hen. 6. 14 Hen. 8. then the Jury which was of Mtdlesex have found the four usuall Feasts in London viz. St Johns c. and this as it seemeth they cannot doe because it is a thing in another County especially they being but an Inquest of Office Further they have found that 37 s was behind at one Feast and this is impossible for then the entire rent should amount to 7 l. And further the Lessors have purchased the reversion before the return of the Inquisition and Commission and then the Queen cannot be intitled because she hath not the Freehold for it hath been adjudged here that if a man fell his lands and afterwards makes livery thereof and after inrolls the sale this shall not have relation to the date of the deed because it takes effect by the livery which was before the inrolment And 8. Edw. 3. Feoffment puis atteynder A man attainted of Treason makes a feoffment of his land after he is restored yet he shall not have the land yet if he had not made the feoffment he should have been restored to the land with the mean profits Then if the King grants the reversion if he shall have the condition remaining and I think not for the King hath it by express words of the Statute as the Prior had it and if the Prior had granted parcell of the reversion De percell de Reversion the entire condition had been gone and the King shall be in the same case for Cessavit is given by the Statute of Westminster 2. cap. 21. eodem modo as in the Statute of Gloucester cap. 4. This doth not ly of an estate tayl no more than a Cessavit by the Statute of Glouc. 8 Ed. 2. And so I think Judgement shall be given for the Defendant De Term. Trinitat Anno xxviij Eliz. Reg. 1. ROdâ—s Justice Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif First I agree that they are severall rents and yet this question doth not goe to the overthrow of the Action in proof whereof both great reason and authority is copious For if the Lessor had entred into parcel this had not suspended the entire rent or if the reversion of parcel thereof were granted this shall carry no more than that which is granted so it was held by the Justices when it was granted to Cordall Parcel entred into And 2 Hâ—n 6. if I reserve an entire rent and the Lessee will pay but parcell c. 17 Ed. 3. fol. 52. by Sharde 11 Ed. 3. lib. Ass If I make a Lease of two Acres reserving for the one Acre x. s to me and to mine heirs and for the other Acre x. s generally And Dyer fol. 308. b. Lib. Ass pl. 23. If three Coparceners be and rent be reserved for equality of partition but one Scire fac shall be brought for it is brought but upon one record 1. Scire fac and Littleton pl. 316. but one action of debt for Tenants in common but severall Avowries so I hold that they be severall rents in this case and yet but one condition And for that let us see if by grant of parcel the entire condition be gone In the case of a common person it is all gone as it was adjudged here in Hill last where a man makes a Lease for years reserving xx l. for rent Sum in gross and rent reserved upon cond and allso a sum in gross of xxvl was to be paid to the same Lessor upon condition if the rent or sum in gross were behind then a re-entry to be made Afterwards the Lessor took an Estate back again of parcell of the term the sum in gross was not payd and it was adjudged that he shall not take advantage by the condition for when he took an estate back again the rent was suspended and then for the sum in gross he shall not re-enter because the condition was entire Cond entire but all though that the case of a common person be so yet the Princses case differs for she shall have her Prerogative and for the Preheminence which the Queen shall have I referre you to the argument of Iustice Weston in the case of the Lord Barkley Coment And that the Queen shall have her Prerogative in a condition I will remember the case of the Abesse of Sion 38 Hen. 6. 21 Hen. 7. the King may make a feoffment in fee upon condition that the Feoffee shall not alien Feoffment in fee upon cond reservation and 2 Hen. 7. 35 H. 6. he may reserve a rent to a stranger and 21 Eliz. the Queen grants her debt to another and he in reasonable time will not prosecute the Queen may take it again gain Grâ—â—t of a debt and may sue And allso Cranmers case where King Hen. 8. gave lands to the use of him for life and after to the use of his Executors for twenty yeares Rent charge after atteynder after he was attainted the Queen shall have this rent as a rent charge and yet she had the reversion before And in reason it seemeth the Queen may apportion her condition for if this condition by the grant to Cordall shall be avoyded four principles shall be overthrown for it is a principle That the King shall not be deceived in his grant 2.
had warranty to detain Garrâ—nty and they made partition the one could not vouch without the other Vâ—uâ—her and therefore she should pray in ayd and then both to vouch Paramount and so the Statute which giveth pâ—â—tition between Joyntenants saveth their warranty otherwise it were gone And so if two Joyntenants make a lease for years reserving rent upon condition Partition of a 〈◊〉 and after they make partition as they well may having the reversion and the freehold in them I hold the Law clearly that the one nor the other shall enter for the condition broken Then in the case of the King I hold the Law that it shall not be apportioned and yet I agree that the King shall have his Preâ—â—gatives for his present lands and goods Prerogative but he shall never have Prerogative when wrong shall be done to any man Rent charge appâ—rtioned If the King have a Rent chage and after Purchase parcell of the Land charged it shall be apportioned 21 Hen. 7. he may well condition that his Feoffee shall not alien for in those cases there is no prejudice to others but all those cases run upon other grounds And in Bartlets case the King is bound by the Statute of donis conditionalibus for it was a wrong that the Donee at the Common Law should alien the inheritance And this case as me seemeth is not within the concourse of Title Câ—â—â—â—urse of â—itle as my Brother Rodes hath argued neither is the King deceived as hath been said For when the King enters he shall be seised in pristino statu suo Dyer and this is a principall reason in Winters case 16 Eliz. a person makes a Lease reserving Rent upon condition that if it be behind lawfully demanded that then he shall re-enâ—er Deâ—and after the reversion cometh to the King he shall not maâ—â— demand I agree well thereto the reason is because the demand is a thing which goeth to the person of the King Then Sir the Statute is that the King shall have it as the Prior had it which is meant of the estate and not of the person of the King Then Sir it is impossible that the King should have the land as the Prior had it ut in pristino statu suo if he doe not utterly defeat the grant made to Cordall then here the condition is gone The Kings grant against the Law is voyd but not by any grant as it hath been moved but by the operation of the Law And 49 Ed. 3. the King grants that lands shall be devisable it is voyd because it is against the Law and it is against the Law that a condition should be apportioned ergo the King shall not apportion it But admit this question against me then let us see what title the Queen hath by this commission First the commission is to enquire if Cordall his Assigns and Farmers have performed all covenants and provisoes contained in the Indenture Proviso as for that I hold the law clear that they have auâ—hority by those words to enquire of the condicion but for other reasons I think the Commission void For the Commission is to enquire per bonos legales homines de Com. nostre Mâ—dd and it doth not appear here that the Jurors were of Middlesex and therefore the inquisition is not good Further Severall spespecial finding they have found a thing in another County and this they cannot find but I hold that the Jury in one County may find the generall issue in another County Allso I hold that when the party cannot plead that which is the great matter of the Action they may find it in an another County because the party cannot pleade it as in 9 Ed. 2. in debt against Executors c. And for these reasons I hold judgement is to be given for the Defendant 2. RIchard Heydon Misre-cital in Letters Patentt Gentleman demands against Benjamin Ibgrave Gentleman the third part of 40. Acres of Land with the appurtenances in three parts to be divided in Sarrot in the County of Hartford as his right and Inheritance and to hold of our Lady the Queen in Capite and Laies the Esples in the time of Ed. the sixth and that such is his Right he offers himself c. And the aforesaid Benjamin put himself upon the great Assise whether it be his right or no c. And now the Assise made by the four Knights appeared at the Bar Challenge Snagg Serjeant for the Plantif we challenge A. B. for that c. Nelson chief Prothonotary all the Court you cannot challenge because it was made by the four Knights and the Assise is now at the Bar. Snagg well Sir then we will give evidence Anderson for whom are you Snagg for the Plantif Anderson then you shall not give evidence first for the Tenant affirms that he hath more right Evidence and that ought to be first proved Rodes and all the Court So it was here rul'd five years ago in Nowells case and thereupon Puckering gave evidence for the Tenant that it was Parcell of the Mannor of Sarrot which Mannor the Tenant hath and this was granted by the Counsell of the Defendant And in conclusion upon the evidence given the Defendant would have had the Tenant to have Demurred upon his evidence and discharge the Inquest but the Tenant would not in effect this was the doubt K. H. 8. by his Letters Patents gave among other things all the Lands which were in the Tenure of one Whyton and demised to Johnson in the Parish of Watford And it was true that the Lands were in the Tenure of Whyton but not demised to Johnson Misre-citall and allso they were not in the Parish of Watford if this shall be helped by the Statute of Misrecitall and not Recitall is the question and the party did not aver that the intent of the King was to pass this Parcell now in question to the Patentee and the opinion of all the Court was that it is not within the Statute clearly but they said to the Jury that they may find all this matter if they will or otherwise say what they will And thereupon after they were agreed they came again to the Bar and then all the Court told them that yet they might give a speciall Verdict The Jury said we are all agreed that the Tenant hath more right to hold these Lands as he now holdeth then the Demandant as he demands them Anderson then are you discharged and as I think you have done well So they gave their Verdict according to the opinion of the Court for the Statute of Misrecitall and yet Peryam was well content to have them give a speciall Verdict and the Demandant was demanded who appeared and thereupon Judgement finall was given for ever against him 3. ONe Tirrell brought an Action of Debt against a Hundred in Essex Hâ—e and Cry for
that he was robbed and made hue and cry according to the Statute of Winchester the. Defendant pleaded that he was not robbed and a full Jury appeared at this day and upon the giving of the evidence Shuttleworth moved for the Defendant that it appeared by the Plantifs own evidence that the money was my Lady Riches and that the Plantif was but her receiver and then as he thought the Action should have been brought by the Lady and not by Tirrell Anderson in my opinion without question the Action is well brought for when he had the money and was robbed the money was taken from him Receiver and he was her receiver and Vouched a case in 3 Ed. 3. where a man takes my Corn from me and after c. the King shall have it and so of money for it cannot be known from other money Rodes to the same intent for if my servant be possessed of my goods and be thereof robbed Appeal he shall have an appeal Windham I have seen that a man sent his servant to London with money and he was robbed coming from thence and the opinion of the Court was that the servant should have an Action against the Hundred Peryam So I think clearly whereby the Jury found for the Plantif 4. THe Quare impedit by Moor was moved again and the opinion of the Court was Quare impedit that the Bishop as well for his contempt in not retournig the first VVrit as for his evill retourn made upon the second Writ for it appeared that he which he said was inducted of the presentation of the Queen was Defendant in this Action should be amerced and so he was amerced at x. l. and a new Writ awarded to admit the Clerk of Moor. 5. AN Action upon the case was brought in the King Benchs for saying that the Plantif was a forging knave Slander and a Verdict given for Plaintif And it was spoken in arrest of Judgement Gawdy Justice inchit capiat per billam for the Action is not maintenable 6. WAlmysley came to the Bar shewed how Lennard Custâ—s bâ—evium had brought an Action of Trespass against another the Defendant justified by reason that Sir Christo Heydon was seised in Fee and infeoffed him Feoffment gave a colour to the Plaintif The Plaintif replied that Sir Christofer Heydon died seised and it descended to his Son who enfeoffed the Plaintif Absque hoc that C. H. enfeoffed the Defendant And the Iury found a speciall Verdict viz. That C. H. was seised and made a lease for years to the Defendant and afterwards by his Deed conteyning dedi concessi confirmavi gave it to the Defendant and his Heirs with Letters of Attorny to make livery if this were a Feoffment or but a confimation was the doubt Feoffment Walmysley It is but a confirmation when it is by deed and hath words of confimation Anderson Then by your reason he in Reversion cannot enfeoffee his Lessee for years by deed as he may without deed but I think the Lessee is at liberty to take it as a Feoffment or as a confirmation Walmysley Sir I think that when the Lessee takes the deed immediately this is a declaration of his meaning to have it as a confirmation by your favour Anderson And by your favour when the Lessor sheweth his meaning to make livery and the Lessee his meaning to accept livery and livery is made accordingly is not this an express declaration that he will take it by the livery and shall this livery be idle no Sir and see Bracebridges case in the Commentaries where Tenant in tail makes a bargain and sale and makes livery and within six months Enrolls it this is adjudged a discontinuance and yet the bargain and sale is not any discontinuance and if you well mark the cases you shall find but little difference Disseisin Walmysley If Tenant in tail bee disseised and it is agreed between the disseisor and the disseisie that the disseisee shall make a Feoffment to the disseisor and make such a deed as this the disseisor shall not have election to take it as a Feoffment Anderson tota Curia the cases differ for thedisseisee hath not any power to make a Feoffment Walmysley Well will you give us a day to argue this matter and the other Feryam For the other if you will Walmysley No Sir if this point be no hotter than the other Peryam The other is cold enough And so the Court held the Feoffment good clearly And they laughed upon Lennard because he had profited so well by his action 7. LAnds were given by fine to one Jones and his Wife and to the Heirs of Jones upon his Wife ingendred the Remainder to one Owen in Fee Scire facias Afterwards Jones only without his Wife suffers a Common Recovery with Voucher Recovery the Wife dies Jones dies without Issue and Owen brought a Scire facias to execute this fine and the Tenant pleaded the Recovery in Bar. Snagg the Recovery is good to Bar Owen For if there be a sufficient Tenant against whom the Praecipe is brought then is it good And as I think here the Husband is a sufficient Tenant The case in 16 Hen. 6. in a purchase to the Husband and Wife during the Coverture there are no Moities and the case in 23 Hen. 8. Meuies Recovery against Husband and Wife where the Wife is Tenant in tail and they Vouch over it shall be a Bar to the intail vide Bro. titulo Recoverie in value 27. and yet the Husband had nothing but in right of his Wife so in this case Walmysley to the contrary For if the recompence here doth not go to the Estate of him which brought the Scire facias then it shall be no Bar in 9 Edw. 4. an Action was brought against two Executors when there were four and a Recovery had against them two the other shall falsifie for that they had equall Authority Falsifying of recovery per executors and here the Husband and Wife have equall Authority 10 Ed. 4. the Wife shall have an Assise if a Recovery be had only against the Husband 2 Ed. 4. he in Reversion prayed to be received Resceit per def de un Joynt he shall plead that the Tenant held joyntly with another and the reason is if he should be received only upon the default of one of them then he cannot have his recompence over Paramount Grant de reversion de un Joynt 18 Hen. 6. 1. 13 Edw. 3. Husband and Wife Ioyntenants for life and he in Reversion will grant the Reversion of the Husband only this is void for he hath not any such Reversion And here the Estate of Husband and Wife and he in Remainder is all but one and then the Estate of the Husband only is not the same Estate and the case in 23 Hen 8. vouched by Snagg seemeth to make for
me for the reason wherefore he shall be barred is because the recompence goeth according to the Estate which the Wife had and then it is reason that he shall be barred but in the same case if the Husband survive it is said in the same Book that the Issue shall be at large for that the recompence goeth to the Survivor but let it be as it may be the reason of the case is for the recompence And I think Com. 5. 14. that this case here will be proved by Snowes case in the Commentaries Recovery had against Husband and Wife where the Wife had nothing all the recompence shall be to the Husband 10 Edw. 3. Dower brought against husband and wife Dower and the husband vouch to warranty c. 38 Ed. 3. Praecipe against Tenant in tayl 8 Eliz. in Dyer fol. 252. where the husband was tenant for life the remainder to the wife in tayl the remainder in fee to a stranger and a recovery suffered and about 15 El. was a case in the Exchequer where lands were given to Norrice and his wife and to the heirs of the body of Norrice Remainder the remainder in fee to a stranger and a recovery suffered against Norrice he in remainder was attainted and Norrice and his wife were dead before and by the opinion of Sanders then chief Baron Recompences the moity shall be forfeit by the atteynder And recompences are but as exchanges Exchange executed and Bracton calleth them Excambia and I think if an exchange be executed in the one part and not in the other it is not good and so I think the recovery shall be no bar 8. IN a Writ of Dower brought Joynture Gawdy Serjeant shewed how that the husband of the demandant had given certain lands to her in lieu of her Joynture upon condition that she should make her election with in three moneths after his death and she made her election to have the Joynture and now she had brought her Writ of Dower against the heir by covin Covin and he hath confessed the Action to the intent that Thynne who had a lease for yeares of the first husband should lose his term and prayed ayd of the Court. Fleetwood for the demandant There is not any such Joynture as you speak of for that which was given to the wife was but a lease for yeares and that you know cannot bar her of her Dower Rodes Justice If the case be so then is there no cause to bar her of her Dower for a lease for years cannot be a Joynture Ease for years Quod Peryam concessit clearly and sayd that the Joynture ought to be a freehold at the least or otherwise it is no bar to the Dower whereby Gawdy moved another matter De Term. Mic. An. Reg. Eliz. xxviij xxix 1. AN Action upon the case was brought for calling the Plaintif false perjured Knave Jeofayle the Defendant justified because the Plaintif had sworn in the Exchequer that the Defendant had refused to pay the Subside where in truth he had notso done The Plaintif replyed de injuriâ— sua propria absque tali causa the Action was brought in London and there it was tryed for the Plaintif and great damage found and this matter was alleged in Arrest of Iudgement because the triall was in London whereas the Perjury was supposed to be made in the Exchequer Triall locall The Court said that the matter is tryable in both Counties and it was answered again London cannot joyn that London cannot joyn with any other County Anderson Then is your Issue vitious for when an Issue is tryable by two Counties if they cannot joyn then ought you to make such an Issue as may be tryed by one onely And by all the Court this ought to have been tryed in Middlesex for there the Perjury is supposed to be committed whereupon the Issue is taken Peryam to the Serjeant of the Plaintif See if you be not ayded by the Statute of Jeofayles Walmisley It hath been allwayes taken that if the triall be evill it is not ayded by the Statute of Jeofayles Peryam Then are ye without remedy for you shall have no judgement Et sic fuit opinio Curiae 2. GAwdy came to the Bar Joyntenancy and shewed how a man devised his lands to his two Sons Partition and their heirs and they had made partition by word without writing 18 Eliz. 350. Tota Curâ—a What question is there in it the partition is naught without doubt Rodes It hath been adjudged here that if the partition be of an estate of inheritance it is not good by paroll Joyntenant by devise Gawdy But I think that when a man deviseth his lands to his eldest Son and his youngest Son in my opinion they are Tenants in common because the eldest son shall take it by descent Peryam But I think not so for if a man make a gift in tayl to his eldest son Devise in tayl of an heir the remainder in fee c. Is not he in by the devise Gawdy This is another case Peryam In my case he shall take by the devise for the benefit of the issues and in your case he shall it take by the devise for the benefit of the survivor and therefore I think that they are Joyntenants Anderson There is but small doubt but that they shall be Joyntenants and there is authority for the case And this at length was the opinion of the whole Court 3. IN an Action of Debt for Rent Apportionment it was sayd by Anderson If a man make a lease of years reserving rent and the Lessee for years make a feoffment in fee of parcell of the land the rent shall be apportioned 4. FEnner came to the Bar Alien and sayd to Anderson that in his absence he had moved this case An Alien born purchaseth Lands and before office found the Queen by her Letters Patents maketh him a denison and confirms his estate the question is who shall have the lands Anderson The question is if the Queen shall have the lands of an Alien before office found Fenner True it is my Lord. Anderson I think they are not in the Queen before office and then the confirmation is good Rodes It seemeth that he shall take it onely to the use of the Queen Neis purchase lands and then the confirmation is voyd Fenner In 33 lib. Ass is this case If the Neise of the King purchase lands and takes a husband who hathâ— issue by her and she dye he shall be tenant by the curtesie Anderson and all the Court denied that case of the Neise Fenner I have heard lately in the Exchequer that an English man and an alien purchased lands joyntly Joynt purchase by an alien and the alien dyed it was adjudged that the other should have all by surviving Anderson and all the Court Surely this cannot be Law
and the one with force and the other not as if I command one to make a Disseisin and he makes a disseisin with force and allso if one enter with force to my use and after I agree he is a Disseisor with force and I am not so and those cases will answer the Books of Assises for in those cases they were present Present but in these not and so I hold that he which is present when force is made is a Disseisor with force Then it was moved if the Statute of 8 Hen. 6. doth extend to fresh forces VVyndam It doth extend to them by express words and Fleetwood cited a case in 44 Edw. 3. 32. that an Attaint lieth of fresh force Then for the other matter of trebling of damages increased the Court made no doubt but that they shall be trebled and they said that so it was lately adjudged here in a case of Staffordshire 19. PUckering shewed how an Attaint was brought upon a false Oath made in a Replevin Challenge where the Defendant made Conusance as Bayley to one Hussey and in the Attaint surmise was made that the Sherif was Cosen to Hussey and thereupon prayed Process to the Coroners and Puckering moved that no Process should issue to the Coroners for Hussey was not party to the Attaint and then this is but matter of favour and he cited 3 Hen. 7. And all the Court accorded with him that it is but matter of favour onely and no surmise to have a Writ to the Coroners but VValmisley would have put a difference between Lessee for years and a Bayley Lessee pur ans for as he pretended in the case of a Bayley it shall be a principall challenge but not in the other case but all the Court was against him and that it is no principall challenge in the one case nor in the other The last day of the Term it was moved again and the Court was of the same mind as before 20. IN a Quare impedit Adverson it was said by Anderson and agreed by all the Court that if a man make a Feoffment in Fee of a Mannor without deed and without saying with the appurtenances yet the Advowson shall pass and cited 15 Hen. 7. where it is adjudged that it is parcell of the Mannor and lieth in Tenure 21. IN an Action of debt Anderson cited a case which was before him at the Assises in Somersetshire Pleading an Action of Battery was brought in London and a Justification made in Somersetshire Absque hoc that he was guilty in London and the Plaintif replyed de injuria sua propriae absque tali causa and Anderson said that a man shall never plead de son tort demeasne where the matter ariseth in a Forein Country 22. AN ejectione firme was brought by Clayton against Lawson Bar. the Defendant pleaded in Bar a Recovery had in the Kings Bench against the Lessor of the Plaintif And Fenner moved that it should be no Bar no more than in Trespass Anderson I think it to be a good Bar. For this Action is as strong to bind the possession as a Writ of right is to bind the right VVyndam I think it is no Bar no more than in Trespass Anderson This is more than an Action of Trespass for in this he shall recover his Term. Rodes This case was moved the last Term and the opinion of the Court then was that it was a good Bar. Fenner True it is if it were between the parties themselves but here the Plaintif is but Lessee to him which was Barred Anderson Allthough that it be so yet he claymeth by the Lease of him which was Barred and during the Lease of the other his Lessor could have no right and what shall he have then Fenner That which is between the parties cannot be an Estoppell to the Plaintif here which is but a stranger Estoppell Anderson I know that he shall not plead it by way of Estoppell but he shall conclude Iudgement si Actio Peryam If in an Assise a Recovery in another Assise be pleaded in Bar Assise he shall not conclude by way of Estoppell but Iudgement si Actio and there he is driven to a higher Action and so here and the Law shall never have end if after a man is Barred in his Action he may bring the same Action again therefore I think it a good Bar and that he is driven to a higher Action VVyndam Lessee for years can have no higher Action Anderson Peryam If one which hath a Lease for years and no more Tenant for years disseisor of tenant in Fee simple enter upon him which hath a good title he is a disseisor of all the Feesimple Wyndam If two claim by Lease from one man and one bringeth an Ejectione Firme and is Barred what Action shall he have then Anderson None for he hath no Right VVyndam That is hard Anderson What Action shall he have which is Barred in Formdone surely none Fenner This is another case Anderson Aliquantulum incensus truly it is a plain case that he shall be Bared whereunto Peryam and Rodes agreed clearly 23. IN a praecipe quod reddat View the Tenant demanded the view and an habere facias visum issued and the Tenant came not to the Sherif to take the view it was said by the whole Court that the Sherif may retâ—urn that none came to take the view and he shall never have the view again Anderson The habere fac visum is the suit of the Tenant and then when he doth not come to take the view this is a default and then good reason to exclude him from the view Gawdy Such a retourn was never seen before and therefore it is to be noted the case was between Hoâ— and Hoo for Lands in Norfolk 24. IOhn VViseman of the Inner Temple Apportionment brought an Action of debt against Thomas VVallenger the case was this A man seised of three acres of Land in Fee makes a lease reserving xxx s of Rent and after devised the Reversion of two acres to a stranger and the third acre descended to the Heir and he brought an Action of debt for xij d. being behind and Puckering moved if they were agreed of their judgement in the case Rent extinct by the grant of part of the Reversion Anderson If a man let two Acres of Land rendring Rent and grant the Reversion of one of them all the Rent is gone as it is in Dyer and at the Common Law before the Statute of W. 3. there was no apportionment and the Statute speaketh of no such apportionment as this is Rodes Surely no Book in all the Law will warrant this apportionment Fenner Yes Sir 5 Ed. 3. If a man have a Rent of xx s and grants parcell thereof and the Tenant Attourns this is good Rodes This is another case But shew us the case which was in the Kings Bench
party from his advantage given him by the Statute But all the other Justices held opinion against him for they sayd that a man ought to appear in proper person upon a Latitat which Anderson denyed and sayd that the Latitats are not but of threescore yeares continuance which the other day Peryam had affirmed and he seemed to mislike with the Latitats And the Serjeant moved for their resolution in the case Anderson All my Brethren are of opinion against me wherefore take your judgement accordingly And so judgement was entred for the Plaintif 21. GAwon brought Debt upon an Obligation against White Traverse with condition that if the Defendant suffer the Plaintif his Tenants and Farmers to enjoy such a Common that then c. And the Defendant pleaded conditions performed and the Plaintif assigned for breach that he did not suffer A. B. his Tenant to enjoy c. Absque hoc that he performed the condition And it was sayd by the Court that this Traverse was not good no more than if one be bound to perform the covenants in an Indenture and the Defendant pleads that he hath performed all generally if the Plaintif assign his breach he shall not say further Absque that the Defendant hath performed the covenants for so much he had sayd before But Walmisley would have put a difference between the cases because in the one there were divers covenants to be performed but not so here Anderson If a man plead a Plea which is sufficient of it self and take a traverse allso you will grant that this Plea is not good quod fuit concessum and this Plea had been sufficient of it self onely quod fuit concessum ergo the traverse was not good without question Et sic opinio totius Curiae 22. GOverstone brought a Replevin against B. Rent charge who avowed the taking for a Rent charge granted to him by the Duke of Suffolk And this was the case The Duke was seised of three parts of a Mannor and granted a Rent charge to the Avowant And one Pole was seised of the fourth part and Hatcher purchased the Dukes three parts and the part of Pole allso and demised a fourth part to the Plaintif but the Serjeants could not agree whether it was Poles fourth part or otherwise the fourth part generally and as it seemed to the Court if it were the fourth part of Pole then the Avowry is not maintainable but otherwise if it were the fourth part generally And after in Michaelmas Term the case was rehearsed again and it was that he demised eandem quartam partem to hold at will And all the Justices agreed that it shall be discharged because it was never charged allthough once he might have distreined in all the Mannor Vnion of possession for that then there was no fourth part for all was alike in the hands of the purchaser but now when the fourth part is in the hands of a stranger it is no reason that it shall be charged Walmisley But the Tenant at will hath nothing but the profits by the way of taking Tenant at wil. and not any land but if Hatcher had made a Feoffment then I agree that it shall be discharged â—eryam And as well shall Tenant at will take the profits in his own right as long as the will doth continue wherefore judgement was given for the Plaintif 23. LEssee for years Wast the reversion in fee to Constance Foster and the Lessee granted over all his term and interest to A. B. Pasch 18 El. reserving and excepting all trees growing in and upon the premisses Rot. 420. the Lessee makes wast and destruction in the trees and C. F. brought Wast against the assignee and if this action will lye or no was the question wherein it was disputed whether this exception and reservation made by the Lessee be good or no for if the reservation be voyd then the action will lye well against the Assignee and thereupon these cases were put to shew both what interest the Lessor and Lessee have in the Trees viz. 33 Hen. 8. 2 Hen. 7. 42 Ed. 3. 21 Hen. 6. 46. 27 Hen. 6. Wast in Slatham 2 Eliz. fol. Danseyes case 7 Hen. 6. 12 Ed. 4. but to prove the reservation voyd Fenner took this ground That thing which a man cannot grant he cannot reserve and the Lessee cannot grant the Trees ergo he cannot reserve them And afterwards judgment was given for the Plaintif for default of pleading on the part of the Defendant but for the matter in Law two Judges were against the other two so that they could not agree De Term. Mic. An. Reg. Eliz. xxix xxx 1. AN action of Debt was brought by Bret against Andrews upon an Obligation indorced with condition to stand to the arbitrement of A. B. Request who did arbitrate that the Defendant should pay to the Plaintif xxâ—l and appointed no certain day of payment and the Defendant in pleading confessed the arbitrement but he sayd further that the Plaintif did never require him to pay it and thereupon the Plaintif demurred in Law and upon reading of the Record the Court held clearly that it was no plea because the Defendant at his peril ought to make payment within convenient time and the Plaintif needeth not to make any request And Anderson commanded to enter judgment accordingly 2. FEnner moved this case Possibility of Interest a man deviseth lands to his Wife for term of her life and if she live untill his sonne come to the age of 24 yeares that then he shall have the lands and if she dye before he come to that age that then I. S. shall have it untill his sonne come to that age and dyed then I. S. dyed before the wife and after she dyed before the sonne came to 24 years if the Executors of I. S. shall have the land untill the sonne come to that age or no was the question And the opinion of all the Court was that they shall not have it because their Testator had never any interest vested in him Fenner But here was a possiblity of an interest Curia But that is not sufficient Rodes cited the case of Bret and Rigden in the Commentaries Grant Anderson If I grant you that if you pay me xxl. at Easter then you shall have an Annuity of xl s to you and your heirs if you dye before Easter now your Heir shall never have it and so in this case 3. THatcher recovered in an Assise of Novel disseisin against Elmer for Lands in Hackney in Middlesex Redisseisin and after Elmer re-disseised him and Thatcher re-entred and Elmer disseised him again And Fleetwood moved the Court if Thatcher may have re-disseisin because that after action accrued to him he had re-entred Anderson What is the Judgement in this Action Judgement Surely it is not that he shall recover any land but double damages and that the
every Wife may be defrauded of her land by joyning in a fine which were a great inconvenience and contrary to this ground in Law that the Husband cannot dispose of the Wifes lands without her consent And although that if the Wife had not shewed her agreement or disagreement then it should have been to the use limitted by the Husband yet here she hath shewed an express disassent and so by their variance both their declarations are void Quare impedit as in a Quare impedit by two if both make severall titles both shall be barred and so judgment shall be given against the Plaintif No Vse limited Peryam to the same intent First it is a plain case that if a Husband and Wife levie a fine and limit no use then the use is to them as the land was before Vse what it is for the use is the profit of the land and the Wife alone cannot limit the use for during the coverture she hath submitted her will to the will of her Husband Silence And if they both levie a fine and he onely by Indenture limits uses Limitation after fine if she do nothing then his limitation is good and the case of Vavisour adjudged here that a limitation after the fine is good And here the Husband hath limited the use to himself for life Who shall limit uses and afterwards they both agree in the limitation now if the residue in which they agree shall be good I will shew my opinion therein likewise because that also may come in question hereafter And I think that this shall not bind the inheritance for it is a ground in Law that limiters of uses shall be such as have power interest and auctority of the land and no further As if Tenant for life and he in reversion joyn in a fine Fine Tenant for life shall limit but for his life but here by the death of the Wife the ability of the Husband is gone for he had no issue by her and therefore his use shall bee gone allso for otherwise it should be a great inconvenience but if they had joyned in the limitation then the inheritance of the Wife had been bound Inheritance shall be bound by agreement and so it is if the Law can intend that she had agreed And to say that the Conisees shall take it from the Husband and Wife and therefore the Wife to be concluded is but small reason for she may confesse the Record well enough as appeareth by the case of Eare and Snow in the Com. and no man can limit uses further than he hath the land and here the limitation for the inheritance after the death of the wife cannot be good and for their variance both are void And so I think judgment shall be given against the Plaintif Rodes to the same intent for the Jury hath found that the Wife did not agree and this speciall finding shall avoid all other common intendments Intendment And the intendment of the party shall overthrow the intendment of the Law and he cited Eare and Snowes case where it was found that the wife had nothing And he cannot limit uses farther than he hath estate in the land and therefore judgment shall be given against the Plaintif Anderson then enter judgment accordingly 14. AN Action upon the statute of Hue and cry was brought against the hundred of Dunmow in Essex Robbery in the night and the Jury found a speciall verdict that the Plaintif was robbed about three a clock in morning before day light and thereupon prayed the advise of the Court And now all the Judges were agreed that for because the Robbery was done in the night and not in the day therefore the Hundred shall not be charged and they commanded to enter iudgment accordingly 15 BEtween Cogan and Cogan the case was Copulative that the Defendant had sold certain land sowen with oad to the Plaintif and that if any restraint shall be by proclamation or otherwise that it should not be lawfull to the Plaintif to sow and make oad then he should have certain mony back again and after proclamation came that no man should sow oad within four miles of any market Town or clothing Town or City or within eight miles of any Mansion House of the Queen and the Plaintif shewed the Land was within foure miles of a Market Town and because he did not averr that it was a Cloathing Town also the Defendant demurred in law And all the Judges held that he had shewed sufficient cause of his Demurrer for the meaning was to restrain by the proclamation aswell all manner of market Townes as those market Townes which were clothing Townes And after Puckering shewed that the restraint was onely from sowing oad and not from making and their Contract was that if any restraint should be from sowing and making in the copulative whereby he thought the Plaintif should be barred quod Curia concessit 16. BEtween Cock and Baldwin the case was Pas 29. Eliz. that a lease was made for 21 yeares to one Trâ—w penny and Elizabeth his wife Rot. 1410. if he and shee Copulative or any child or children between them lawfully begotten should live so long And after they were married the wife died without issue if the lease be thereby determined or no was the question because it is in the conjunctive he and she and now one of them is dead without issue and this case is not like Chapmans case in the Commentaries where one covenants to infeoff B. and his heires for there it is impossible to Emfeoff his heires as long as B. Lease to a for life shall live and therefore there it shall bee taken in the disjuctive and the same Serjeant said that if A. Lease for life of 2 lets land to two for life if one dye the other shall have all by survivour because they took it by way of interest Difference but if I let land to two to have and to hold for the lives of two other if one of them dye the lease is gone quod fuit concessum and here the lease shall be determined by the death of one because so was the intent Rodes the meaning seemeth to be conrrary for by the or which commeth afterward it appeareth that they should have their lives in it Peryam Anderson and Wyndham said that it appeareth by the disjunctive sentence which commeth afterward that the intent was that the lease shall not be determined by the death of one of them and the reason which moved the Lord Anderson to think so was because the state was made before the marriage and so it is as a joynture to the wife and therefore not determined by the death of the one And after they all gave judgment accordingly 17. WAlgrave brought trespass quare vi armis against Somersetbeing Tenant at will Trespass vi armis against Tenant at Will
conjunction 4. WAlmisley moved concerning the Quare impedit brought by the Queen And he thought that she shall recover Avoidance for the avoidance is by Privation and the same party is presented again and and if these shifts may be used the Queen shall never have a Lapse for then the Incumbent shall be deprived and the same Incumbent presented Fenner to the contrary and said that where her title is restrained to a time there she shall have no Prerogative to the prejudice of a third person nor to alter their Estates And for that in 1 Ed. 3. if the King have a Lordship and Rent and he grant the Lordship over and retain the Rent and after the Land escheats the Rent is gone The year day and Waâ—t as in the case of a common person and the Queen shall have the year day and Wast but if Tenant for life dy she shall not have it Dower against Guardian And in Dower against the Guardian if the Heir come to full age the Writ shall abate 5. AN Action upon the case was brought for calling the Plaintif Bankrupt Bankrupt and a Verdict passed for the Paintif And now Shutleworth shewed in arrest of Judgement that the Plaintif had not declared that he was a Merchant or of any Mystery or trade And the Court held the Declaration insufficient for the same cause and made a rule for stay of the Judgement accordingly 6. IN a Replevin brought by Mary Colthirst against Thomas Delves Discent of a third part it was agreed by three Justices Anderson being in the Starchamber that if a man have Lands held in chief to the value of 60 l. that he may Devise Lands to the value of 40. l. if he suffer the rest to the value of 20. l. to descend to his Heir And therefore they overruled it upon evidence to the Jury that where one Barners was seised of the Mannor of Toby in the County of Essex and was allso seised of the Mannor of Hinton in the County of Gloucester Entire Mannor and all those were held by Knights service in chief and deviseth the Mannor of Toby to his Wife for life that his Heir at the Common Law shall have no part thereof if the Mannor of Hinton amounteth to the third part of all his Lands Allso they overruled that if a man after Mariage convey a Joynture to his Wife and dy that after the Wife may refuse the Joynture Refusall of Joynture and demand her Dower at the Common Law Allso that by refusall in the Country she may wave her Joynture and hold her to her Dower and that this is a sufficient Election Allso they held that if a man makes a Joynture to his Wife during the Coverture Devise for Joynture and after by his Testament deviseth other Lands to her in stead of her Joynture that she may refuse the Joynture and hold her to the Devise and that this shall be good by the Statute and yet Gawdy moved to the contrary because the Statute is that she may refuse the Joynture and hold her to the Dower but the three Justices overruled it clearly and said that such was the meaning of the Statute No wayving after agreement but they agreed that if she have once agreed to the Joynture that she cannot waive it afterwards Allso they agreed that if a Wife do once refuse her Joynture in her own house amongst her servants and not to the Heir that yet this is a good Refusall And Peryam said for Law that where a Joynture is conveyed to the Wife during the Coverture Refusall by bringing Dower and after the death of her Husband she say nothing but bringeth a Writ of Dower that this is a good Refusall aud so he hath seen in experience 7. AN Action upon the case was brought by John Cuttes against an antient Attourney of the Court Slander for these words viz. John Cutts was one of those which robbed Humphrey Robbins And they were at issue and it was found for the Plaintif And it was alleged in arrest of Judgement that the words were spoken in Queen Maries time as appeareth by the Declaration And yet the opinion of the Court was that he should have his Judgement allthough peradventure robberies were pardoned by Parliament after that time 8. CArleton brought Entry sur disseisin against Carre Abatement for part who for part pleaded that he had nothing but in Right of his Wife not named c. and so demanded Judgement of the Writ and for the rest he pleaded in bar and they joyned issue for both and the Jury appeared at the bar and found both the issues for the Defendant And now the question was whether the Writ shall abate for all or no because for part it was found that the Defendant had nothing but in right of his Wife or whether it shall abate but for this part onely And Shuttleworth argued that it should abate for part onely and he resembled it to Joyntenancy in which case it shall abate but in part and he cited Dier 291. 7 R. 2. titulo joint 8. E. 1. titulo breif 860. Severall Tenancy And VValmisley said that it was more like to a severall Tenancy in which case all shall abate as in non tenure but Peryam said to him put a case where severall Tenancy shall abate all the Writ Anderson Joyntenancy and seised in right of his Wife is all one to this effect and intent Joyntenancy for in Joyntenancy he confesseth that he is sufficient enough but that another hath right as well as himself allso And so where he confesseth that he is seised in right of his Wife he confesseth that he is Tenant but that another ought to be named with him Peryam True it is that there is no difference concerning this purpose and intent and if the Recovery be had against the Husband sole he shall be bound And at length all the Iustices agreed that the Writ shall abate but in part and that Judgement shall be given for the rest and so for that residue the Judgement was nihil capiat per breve vide 3 Hen. 4. 2. 13 Eliz. fol. 301. 9. AT this day Walmisley prayed Judgement in the Quare impedit for the Queen Lapse Anderson we are all agreed that the Queen shall have Judgement for the reason of the mischief For otherwise when the Queen hath a Lapse divolved unto her one shall be Presented and afterwards deprived so that the Queen shall never have her Lapse And it differeth much from the case of that avoidance which cometh by the Act of God for this is by the Act of the party and the refore Covenous And so let Judgement be entred for the Queen 10. A Writ was ad respondendum I. S. Fidei uxori ejus and the Defendant pleaded in abatement of the Writ because the name of the Wife was Faith in English therefore they pretended that it should
have against him untill the 24 of June then next following which was half a year after and because he had not performed this an action upon an Assumpsit was brought and Judgement given for the Plaintif and all the Justices agreed that this was Error because that this thing arbitrated was out of the submission and so voyd for they have no authority to arbitrate that which is not submitted unto them Submission and the submission is onely of things passed and not to come but because that the Defendant had not heard of this Error before therefore they gave him day Afterwards the case was moved again and Anderson sayd that damages recovered doe not lye in arbitrement Damages recovered Peryam Amongst other things they will lye well enough quod Anderson non negavit But they all sayd that they may well assume upon consideration and an Action will be maintainable for it 5. THomas Mounson Esquire Term extinguished sonne and heir apparent to Sir Iohn Mounson Knight brought an Action of Trespass against VVest who pleaded not guilty and upon Evidence it appeared that Sir Iohn Mounson had an estate for years the Remainder in tayl to the Plaintif with divers Remainders over and the Lessee made a Feoffment to divers and a Letter of Attorney to others with commission to enter into the lands and to seal the Feoffment and deliver it in his name to the use of the sayd Thomas and his heirs and another by commandement or Letter of Attorney of the sayd Thomas entred in his name And the Court held this a good Feoffment notwithstanding that both the Lessee and the Attorney were disseisors Disseisors for it is good between the Feoffor and the Feoffee for they sayd that by the Feoffment to the use of him in the remainder and his heirs if he in remainder enter he is remitted and the estate for years is gone implicatively Freehold joyned to the term Morgage for Peryam sayd that in all cases where the Freehold cometh to the term there the term is extinguished And therefore if a man morgage his reversion to the Lessee for years and after perform the condition yet the Lease for years is utterly extinguished And the Evidence on both parts was very long and the chief matter was whether a Deed were forged by Rob. Mounson lately one of the Justices of the Common-pleas by which Devise lands were conveighed to him by William Mounson his Father whose heir at the Common Law Sir John Mounson is viz. the Sonne of Roberts eldest brother and the Deed was shewed by VVest and it was perished with Mice all the Seal and part of every side but yet by the last Will of the sayd VVilliam Mounson and by divers other proofs it was evident that the Deed was good and but little in effect was shewed to prove the Deed forged Misdemenour yet the Jury went together and tarryed there all night and in the mean time some of them had victualls with them for one had Cheese and another had Pruens another had Pippins and another had an Orange but he which had the Orange swore that he brought it onely for the smell and therefore he was excused and he which had Pruens had given half a Pruen to one of his companions which eat it and he which had Cheese had eat thereof therefore all those which had victuals Fine and imprisonment were fined at 40 s and they which had eaten at 5 l. every of them and all committed to the Fleet but because they were agreed therefore the Verdict was taken and the Verdict was given for the Plaintif viz. that the Deed was forged by Justice Mounson and the Verdict taken de bene esse and all this matter commanded to be entred for the Justices doubted whether it were a good Verdict This matter was moved divers Terms afterwards and at the last adjudged a good Verdict 6. IN an Ejectione firme by Ashby against Laver for Lands in Westminster Countermand it was sayd by all the Justices to the Jury that if a man hath a Lease and disposeth of it by his will and after surrenders it and takes a new Lease and after dyeth that the Devisee shall not have this last Lease because this was a plain countermand of his Will 7. IN Trespass by Johnson against Astley it was said by the Justices to the Jury that if there were a Chauntery in reputation allthough it be none in right as if it be gone by disseisin yet the Queen shall have the Lands 8. AT Serjeants-Inne in Fleet-street Rent suspended the Justices of the Common Pleas and Barons of the Exchequer were assembled for divers Errors in the Kings-bench and the case of Rawlins was moved again and Anderson and Peryam retained their former opinions and Peryam sayd that he would differ from all the cases of collaterall conditions Feoffment upon condition which may be put for he sayd that if a man make a Feoffment in fee of 20 Acres of land upon condition that if he pay to the Feoffee xx l. at Easter that then it shall be lawfull for him to re-enter allthough that he be re-enfeoffed of 10 Acres yet he ought to perform the condition because it is collaterall But Cook the famous Utter-barrister sayd Truly it hath been adjudged to the contrary and I was privy to it for when he took as high an estate again as he had before by that the condition is confounded and the case of the Corody in 20 Ed. 4. will prove this case Rodes I see no diversity Peryam It is collaterall there but so it is not here but afterwards those two Judges changed their opinions and so the first Judgement was affirmed 9. BRown recovered against Garbrey in an Assumpsit Consideration and thereupon Garbrey brought a Writ of Error and assigned for Error that there was no Consideration for the Declaration was that whereas there was a communication between Brown and a woman for Mariage between them that the Father of Brown had promised to the Wife that if she would marry his Son he would make a Feoffment of his land to the use of himself for life and after to the use of them two in tayl the remainder c. and that Garbrey assured to the Wife in consideratione praemissorum that if the Father did not doe so then he would give the Wife a hundred pound ac licet the Father did not give to them in tayl secund agreament praedict yet Garbrey refused c. And Cook moved that this should be no Consideration for the communication of Mariage was not by him but between strangers to him but if the Father had assumed in consideration of Mariage then that should have been good against the Father but against Garbrey it is â—o otherwise than as if one promise to you to Enteoff you and I say that if he doe not so then I will give you a hundred pound this is
he is Tenant sufficient before Office found Fenner True Sir but when the Office is found by relation thereof the Recovery is avoided Relation Anderson Truely the Office hath relation for the Possession of the Alien but it hath no such relation to say that the Alien never had it for then the Queen shall not have it but if the Alien were Tenant sufficient at the time of the Writ brought against him then the Remainder is utterly gone And all the Justices said that it is a strong case that the Queen shall have it and that the Remainder is gone And Rodes cited 27 Ass fol. 50. 8. PLympton brought an Action of Trespass against Dobynet Copyhold the Defendant pleaded that the place in which c. is Copyhold and pleaded a Grant to Southey which granted it to him c. The Plaintif replyed that long time before the Grant pleaded by the Defendant Alice Gooding was Lessee for life secundum consuetudinem manerii c. and that the Custom is that the Lord may grant Copies as well in Reversion as in Possession And that in 5 Eliz. the Lord Morley being Lord of the Mannor The Lord Morleys case granted to him a Copy in Remainder before the grant made to Southey which now came in Possession and that he entered untill c. The Defendant rejoyned that there is a custom in the Mannor that the Lord may grant Copies in reversion with the agreement and consent of the Tenant in possession and if any Copies be granted without consent of the Tenant in possession that then there is such a custom that such Grants shall be alltogether voyd absque hoc that they are devisable modo forma c. whereupon the Plaintif demurred in Law Walmisley This Plea of the Defendant is repugnant for by these words If any be granted he implyeth that there is such a custom and then when he saith absque hoc that there is such a custom this traverse is voyd and the Plaintif shall have Judgement by 9 H. 6. Allso he argued that this custom shall be voyd and cited 19 Ass the case of the command of St Johns and 2 Hen. 4. 19 Eliz. Custom what it is the Ejectione firme by Bill anu Attorney and he defined usage to be Constitutio ex diversis actionibus saepius iteratis Shuttelworth argued to the contrary and cited 37 Hen. 6. the case of Common and 26 Ed. 3. 9. GAwdy the Queens Serjeant rehearsed the case of Beverley in this manner Utlary Thomas Beverley brought a Quare impedit against the Ordinary and Gabriell Cornewell the Incumbent which was in of the presentation of the Queen and upon pleading there was a Demurrer entred up and before that was discussed Beverley was Outlawed at the suit of another The Case in an Action of Debt then Cornwell resigned his Benefice and the Queen presented him again whereupon he was instituted and inducted Then Beverley brought a Writ of Error in the Kings-bench and reversed the Outlary because that he was named of Hamby where there were two Towns of the same name and neither of them without an addition and now he brought a Scire facias to execute his first judgement against Cornwell who pleaded all the matter in bar and it seemed to him that the Plaintif shall be barred for by the Outlary of the Plaintif the presentation was forfeited to the Queen allthough that it was but a thing in action and thereupon he cited 2 Hen. 5. where a man had a Patronage with his Wife Patronage in right of his wife and was Outlawed c. then if by the reversall of the Outlary he shall be restored to the presentation and he sayd that he shall not for that it was a thing once lawfully executed and vested in the Queen and he cited 4 Hen. 7. where a man is attainted by Act of Parliament c. Allso the opinion of Brian there is a strong proof of this case And further he sayd that he was of counsell with a case in 26 Eliz. Restitution after a Scire faâ—â— where Debt was brought by Hanmer against Luddington and the Defendant was condemned and a Fieri facias issued to the Sherif who by virtue thereof sold a term of the Defendants and levyed the money thereupon and afterward the Defendant brought a Writ of Error and refused the Judgement the question was if he shall be restored to his term and it was adjudged that he shall not but onely to the money for which it was fold because the sale was once good and so he thought that the Plaintif ought to be barred VValmisley to the contrary For in our case Patronage when the Queen presenteth she hath gained a Patronage to her self untill we recover it again and this is the case of Ratcliffe in 35. For so long as the Incumbent which is presented continueth by that Induction in possession so long he which presented him is Patron Possession per Collow in 20 Ed. 4. and by 46 Edw. 3. tit Incumbent 19 Ed. 3. tit Quare impedit If the King bring a Quare impedit and hath title to recover yet the other is Patron untill his Clerk be removed a fortiore where the Writ is brought against the Incumbent of the King he is Patron untill he be removed then if nothing shall be forfeit to the Queen then it is to be considered because the Queen hath presented the same Defendant of new whether he shall be removed or no Acts done hanging the Writ and it seemeth clearly that he shall because he claimeth under this estate and this is done hanging the Writ and no act done hanging the Writ shall extort the Plaintif from his execution and surely the Writ is hanging untill execution be done and he cited 31 Hen. 6. Attorney If one make an Attorney he shall be Attorney untill execution be done and 21 Hen. 7. if the Defendant resign and a stranger is presented hanging the Writ yet the Plaintif shall remove the stranger Presentment and 20 Eliz. in Dyer accordeth with that notwithstanding that some there held the contrary If he come in by title by mony And to the like purpose is the case in 11 Hen. 4. of traverse of an Office Then for the Outlary that was avoydable by Plea Plea by the Statute by the Statute of 2 Hen. 5. per the Books in 22 Hen. 6. and 38 Hen. 6. Then if by the Outlary reversed he shall be restored and it seemeth that he shall for a man shall see a great difference between this case and the cases put For if a man in an Action deny his Deed and therefore pay a Fine to the King if after he reverse the Judgement yet he shall not be restored to the Fine because it is a by-thing and a thing collaterall and therefore he denyed the opinion of Brian Collateral thing in 4 Hen. 7. for it cannot be Law
it appeareth to us that Executor or Administrator cannot be charged upon a simple contract and the Court ex officio ought to stay the Judgement and the VVrit at the first ought to have been abated and this is reason and so is the Book in 15 Edw. 4. and then by the assent of the other Judges he gave Judgement accordingly 12. RObert Johnson is Plaintif against Jonathan Carlile in an Ejectione firme Fine and upon not guilty pleaded the Jury found a speciall Verdict Hil. 29 El. rot 824. that William Grant was seised in fee of the Lands now in question being held in Socage and devised them to his Wife for term of her life and when John his sonne came to the age of 25 years then he shoâ—ld have those Lands to him and to his heirs of his body ingendred and dyed afterwards the sayd John before that he came to the age of 25 years levyed a Fine thereof in fee and after came to 25 years and had issue a Daughter and dyed and after the Wife dyed then the Daughter entered and made a Lease to the Plaintif the question was no more but whether this Fine levyed by the Father before any thing was in him shall be a bar to the Daughter Rodes The question is if the Daughter may say that her Father had nothing in the Land at the time of the Fine levyed and so by this means Fines shall be of small force Windham and Peryam We have adjudged it lately in Zouches case that the Issue shall not have this averment Parties and privies shall have no averment Shuttelworth for the Plaintif If it were in Pleading I grant it well but here it is found by Verdict Curia This will not help you for by the Fine the Right is extinct Windham When my Lord Anderson cometh you shall have a short rule in the case Shuttelworth Too short I doubt for us After at another day Shuttelworth moved the case again Anderson May he which levyed this Fine avoyd it by this way Shuttelworth No Sir Anderson How then can he which is privy avoyd it Shuttelworth By Plea he cannot Anderson The Verdict will not amend the matter Fenner If I make a Feoffment upon condition Feoffment upon condition and after levy a Fine of the same land to a stranger and after I re-enter for the condition broken the stranger shall not have the land Curia VVe have given Judgement clearly to the contrary in the case of Zouch And your opinion is no authority 13. A Writ of Dower was brought by John Hunt and Ioan his Wife late the Wife of Austin Dower for the third part of Lands in Wolwich the Defendant pleaded that the Lands are Gavelkind Trin. 30. Eliz rot 156. And that the Custom of Gavelkind within the County of Kent is that the Wife shall have the Moity during her Widowhood according to the Custom and not any third part according to the Common Law upon which Plea the Defendant demurred in Law Negative preâ—cription And one question was whether this Prescription in the Negative be good with the Affirmative And the other doubt was if the Wife may wave her Dower by the Custom and take it according to the Common Law And the Justices held the Prescription good enough being in the Negative with the Affirmative Iâ—â—eritance Windham This Custom shall bind the Heir and his Inheritance and by the same reason it shall bind the Wife and her Dower which Peryam granted expresly Rodes was absent and Anderson spake not to that second point But all the Court agreed clearly that as this Custom is alleged she shall be barred of her Dower And so they commanded to enter Judgement accordingly but if the pleading had been in the Affirmative onely without the Negative then the second point had come in question 14. WAlmisley prayed the opinion of the Court in this case Extent The Sherif extendeth Lands upon a Statute Staple and whether the Conusee shall bâ— said to be in Possession thereof before they be delivered to him or no Anderson Allthough that they be extended Refusall yet the Conusee may refuse to receive them Walmisley True Sir Anderson Then hath he nothing in them before he have received them for he may pray that the Lands may be delivered to the Praisors according to the Statute of Acton Burnell Windham Your meaning is to know if the Rent incurres when the Land is in the Sherifs hands if you shall have it Walmisley True Sir that is our very case Anderson Then this is the matter whether you shall have the Rent or the Conusor or the Queen but how can you claim it Windham The Lands are in the Queens hands Peryam The Writ is Cape in manum nostram Rodes This is like to the case of disceit where he shall not have the mean issues So as it seemed to them Disceit the Conusee shall not have it but they did not say expressly who should have it 15. TRespass quare clausum fregit was brougâ—t ' against two the one appeared Simul cum Dyer 239. and the other was outlawed and the Plaintif declared against the one onely who by Verdict was found guilty and now Walmisley spake in arrest of Judgement that he should have declared against them both or against the one simuleum c. But the Court thought that this was helped by the Statute of Jeofailes but at this time they were not resolved 16. A Speciall Verdict was found Disability of the Devisor at the time of his death that a Woman sole was seised of certain Lands held in Socage and by her last Will devised them to I. S. in Fee and after she did take the devisee to Husband and during the Coverture she Countermanded her Will saying that her Husband should not have the Land nor any other advantage by her Will and then died Now whether this be a sufficient Countermand so that the Husband shall not have the Land was the question Shuttleworth For as much as she was Covert-Baron at the time of her death therefore the Will was void for a Feme-Covert cannot make a Will and a Will hath no perfection untill after the death of the Devisor Gawdy In Wills the time of the making is as weâ—l to be respected Taking a Husband is no Countermand of the Wife as the death of the Devisor And then she being sole at the time of the making allthough that afterwards she took a Husband yet this is no Countermand and so is Bret. and Rigdens case in the Commentaries Anderson If a man make his Will and then become non compos mentis Not of sound mind yet the Will is good for it is Common that a man a little before his death hath no good memory Shuttleworth I do not agree the Law to be so and so Rodes seemed to agree but Anderson affirmed as before Windam I doe not doubt but such a
Plaintif was non suit And it was now moved whether the Plaintif ought to have a new venire facias upon the first issue insomuch as the first venire facias did not issue forth upon the first Record and no non suit Et opiniâ— Curiae that he may go to a new triall but whether he shall have a venire facias de novo or that the old venire facias should serve the Court doubted for that the first Jury was sworn 38. FOrd brought an Action of Debt against Glanvile and his Wife Administratrix bonorum Catellorum qua fuerunt Johannis S. durante minore aetate T. S. Abatements The Defendant pleaded that hanging this action against them the said T. S. during whose nonage the Wife was Administratrix came to full age and if this were a good Plea or no was the question And adjudged a good Plea 39. UPon an information against Sr. Christopher Blunt a Juror was challenged for want of Free-hold Free-hold of a Juror and by examination was found that he had 20 shillings a year Fenner and Gawdy doubted whether this be sufficient Free-hold or not Popham and Clinch held it is sufficient for the Statute binds not the Queen and by the Common law if he had any Free-hold it was sufficient Fenner This is a Statute made for the benefit of the Common-wealth and therefore the Queen shall be bound by it though she be not named in it Gawdy Me thinks every Juror ought to have 40. s Free hold at the least by the Common-Law No bill of enception against the Queen Cook No certainly and if they doe take the Law to be so they may have a bill of exception Tanfield Wee cannot have a bill of exception against the Queen see the Statute of 1 Hen. 5. cap. 3. that that is between party and party and the Statute of 8 Hen. 6. the preamble is between party and party But Popham commanded the Jury to be sworn but Gawdy would have sent to the Justices of the Common Pleas for their opinion but the Juror was sworn by Commandment of Popham against the opinion of Justice Fenner 40. PEr Cook Proxime future If I am bound in an Obligation in Lent upon Condition to pay a lesser sum in quarta septimana quadragesima proximae futurae This money shall be paid in Lent Twelvemonth after And so it is upon the Feast day of St Michael I am bound to pay a lesser Summe upon the Feast day of Saint Michaell prox futur without question said he it shall be paid the Twelvemonth after and not the instant day 41.

REdfrein agaiust I. S. an Action of the case was brought for words Slander viz. I was robbed and you were privy thereunto and had part of my money It was pleaded in arrest of Judgement that the words will not maintain an Action For that a man may be privy to a robbery after that it is made and have part of the money by honest meanes and therefore it is no slander but the whole Court held the contrary Infected Smell of robbery as well as you are infected with a robbery and smell of the same will maintain an Action so will these words therefore Judgement was given for the Plaintif 43. MEggs against Griffyth brought an Action for these words Slander viz. A woman told me that she heard say that Meggs Wife poysoned her Husband in a mess of milk and Judgement given for the Plaintif 44. REvell against Hart A Parsons Lease the case was upon the Statute of 13 Eliz. of Leases made by a Parson Serjeant Harris A Lease made by a Parson is not void against the Parson himself no more than a Lease made by a Bishop which is not void against the Bishop himself as was judged in the case of the Bishop of Salisbury Fenner The Law is as you said in a case of a Bishop but the case of a Parson percase will differ Popham If Rent be reserved Rent reserved it is good against the Parson himself otherwise not Clinch and Gawdy It is good against the Parson himself 45. WInch brought a Writ of Error against Warner Space in the roll upon a Judgement in a Writ of Debt in the Common place upon Arrerageâ— upon an account and it was assigned for Error for that the Plaintif in the Common place The emparlance roll is the Warrant in the first Declaration left a space for the day and year And after imparlance he put in a new Declaration which was perfect But for that the two Declarations did not agree and the first Declaration is the Warrant of all and therefore ought to be perfect therefore the Judgement ought to be Reversed for this default 46.

WIldgoose versus Wayland in Cancellar Notice of trust This question arose If A. be seised upon trust and confidence to the use of B. and his Heirs and A. selleth the land to one that hath notice of the trust to whose use shall the Vendee be seised Also it was moved if before the sale one come to the Vendee say to him take heed how ye buy such land for A. hath nothing in that but upon trust to the use of B. and another comes to the Vendee and saith to him It is not as he is informed for A. is seised of this land absolutely by which the Vendee buyeth the land if this first Caveat given to him ut supra be a sufficient notice of the trust or not And the Lord Keeper sayd it is not for flying-reports are many times fables and not truth and if it should be admitted for a sufficient notice then the Inheritance of every man might easily be slandered Notice of Forgery Cook It was holden in Bothes case in the Starchamber that if a man sayd to another take heed how you publish such a Writing for it is forged and notwithstanding the party doth publish it this is a sufficient notice to the publisher that the Deed was forged And upon that the Lord Popham at the same time put this case Notice of Felony If one say to me take heed how you entertain or receive A. B. for he hath committed such a Felony and I giving no credit to the report receive the party where in truth he had committed the Felony now I am accessary to this Felony To which the Lord Keeper answered that he would not draw blood upon such an opinion 68.

IT was sayd by Fell Hue and Cry an Attorney of the Kings-bench that it hath been adjudged in the same Court that an Action upon the Statute of Hue and Cry against Inhabitants of any Hundred will never lye by Bill but ought to be sued by Writ and the reason is for that the Action is brought against Inhabitants which are a multitude and for that may not be in custodia Marescalli as another private person may 70.

And the Plaintif had a Fieri facias Capias after a Fieri sacias executed for parcell and the Sherif levyed 20 l. of the goods of the Defendant and retorned that of Record but non constat by the Record whether the Plaintif had received the 20 l. or not and the Plaintif took forth a Cap. ad satisfaciend for the whole Execution being 80 l. and upon that the Defendant was Utlawed and now he brought a Writ of Error to reverse that Utlary which was reversed for that it did appear upon Record that execution was made by Fieri fac of 20 l. of the 80 l. and therefore the Cap. ad satisfaciend should have been but 60 l. 71. IF the Husband sell his land by Fine Claim of Dower with Proclamations and live five years and after dye his Wife being sole of full age of sound memory out of prison and within the four Seas and doe not make any demand or claim of her Dower within five years after the death of her Husband she shall be barred 72.

IN a Prohibition and the Case was this Benefield against Feek Tithe of Saffron the Farmor of a Parsonage sued in he Spirituall Court for Tithes of Saffron against a Vicar The Vicar pleaded that time out of memory of man the Vicar and his predecessors have had the Tithe of all Saffron growing within the parish A Prohibition for the Plaâ—ntif in the Spirituall Court upon his own lihell The Plaintif pleaded that the land where the Saffron was growing this year by the space of 40 yeares next before had been sown with Corn whereof the Parson and his predecessors have had the Tithe And the Spirituall Court would not allow this Plea For which the partie prayed a Prohibition Tanfield The right of the Tithe commeth in question between the Parson and Vicar Howbeit that the Farmor be made partie to the suit and for that the right of Tithes being in question between two Spirituall men Suit between persons spirituall This Court hath no Jurisdiction And this very point was adjudged 30. Eliz. inter Hunt and Bush in this Court that in such
case the partie shall have a consultation Popham The one of the parties is a man temporall and so was it not in your case Sic nota that by the Spirituall law the Vicar shall have Tithes of Saffron of land newly sown with Saffron albeithat before the Parson had the Tith of that land being sowen with Corn. 76. NOta that by the course of the Kings-bench a man may have Oyer of the deed after imparlance Oyer of a deed but not in the Common place Q. 77. BEckford brought an ejectione firme against Parnecote Devise before purchasâ— and the Case upon the speciall Verdict was found to be this That one Parsons was seised of certain land in A. and had issue four Daughters viz. Barbera Johan E. and Mary and made his Will in writing And by the same Will he devised all his land in Aldeworth to Barbera and Johan two of his daughters and made them two his Executors and after he purchased other land in Aldworth and a stranger was desirous to purchase this land of him newly purchased And he said that that land should goe with the residue of his land to his Executors as his other land should go After the said Testator made a Codicill and caused it to be annexed to his Will But the Codicill was of other things and mentioned nothing of this land and whether this new purchased land shall pass by the Will without new publication of the Will for this land was the question Moor I think that the land newly purchased shall pass and to prove that he said that the reason in Bretts case 340. Com. for which land newly purchased shall not pass is by reason that there is no manner of new publication but in our case there is new publication and in Trivillians case 4 M. 143. where cestui quae use made a Will And then the Statute of 27 H. 8. of uses came now this Will was comptrouled The Statute of Wills but by a new publication it may be made good and he cited 44. E. 3. 12. and 44 Ass 36. Atkinson è contra For this Will ought to be warranted by the Statute otherwise it is not good and the Statute doth not enable him which hath no land at the time of the devise to devise land and the words of the Statute manifest this which are Where any person or persons having any land holden c. So by the express words Want of apt words if he have no lands at the time of the Devise he may not Devise as appears plainly in Brets case allso it appears that words out of a Will will never make that to pass which was intended before and with that agreeth the Lord Cheney his case and the case of Downhall and Catesby lately adjudged and in this case allbeit the Testator allowed this Will after to be his Will Things not expressed in the Wil must be expressed in the publication yet this shall never make this land newly purchased to pass without express publication of this land Clinch Justice sayd it seemed to him that the land newly purchased shall pass for after that he had made his last purchase the Testator heard the Will read and by that he devised all his lands in Aldworth and then knew that the land newly purchased lay in Aldworth and upon reading of the Will he allowed it and so I think that the new purchased land shall pass as well as the other and that this allowance upon the reading is a new publication Gawdy Justice è contra For if I make my Will and by that devise all my land in Dale and after I purchase other land there and one afterwards shews me the Will and demands of me if it shall be my Will and I answer it shall I say that this land newly purchased shall not pass Hearing and allowance is a publication and in this case howbeit that the reading of the Testament or annexing of the Codicill be a new publication yet it doth not manifest the intent to be that more shall pass by that than he intended at the first and allso the new reading of the Will and the annexing of the Codicill may not properly be termed a new publication as this case is Where there it no controlment there needeth no new publication for here was not any Controlment and for that the Will needs not any new publication by which it seemeth that without any express publication for this land newly purchased this land shall not pass for the things which are found to be done are but allowances and no new publications 78. HArecourt brought a Writ of Error upon a Judgment given in the Common-place Amendment and assigned for Error for that the Judgement was that the now Defendant should recover xx l. assessed to him per Jnr. nec non x l. bassessed to him hic per Jur. where it ought to be per Cur. Yelverton prayed that it might be amended for that the Record in the Common-place was right and the Misprision which made this Error was in the Clerk which certified the Record and the opinion of the Conrt was that if it were so it should be amended and therefore they sayd they would have the Record it self brought out of the Common-place thither to be viewed whether it were so or not The Record it self shall not be sent out of the Court. Worley Clerk The Justices of the Common-place will not suffer the Record to be brought hither Popham That is no new President that the Record shall be brought hither for I have seen it done before this time But after in truth the Justices of the Common-place would not send their Record into the Kings-bench and therefore Cook the Queens Attorney prayed that it might be amended Popham It may not be amended for that I have spoken with the Justices of the Common place and they say that the Record was at the first as it was certified viz. Iur. pro. Cur. and after the Record was certified it was amended by a Clerk without any Warrant Cook Allbeit that it was so yet under Correction it is amendable for it is the misprission but of a Clerk and that of a Letter onely viz. of I. for this letter C. for the word is written Jur. short where it ought to have been Cur No amendment in â—â—int of Judgement and so amendable by the Statute of 8 Hen. 6.

S. brought an Action upon the case of finding and Converting of certain goods Trover against Newman And upon not guilty pleaded the Jury found this speciall Verdict viz. That the Testator was possessed of divers goods and them lost and the Defendant found them And knowing them to be the goods of the Testator upon demand denied to deliver them And
Statute of 18 Eliz. cap. 11. c. appoints that the Ordinary after complaint made and sentence given against any such incumbent whereby he ought or shall lose one years profits of his Benefice shall grant Sequestration to one of the inhabitants of the same Parish as he shall think meet And upon default there in by the Ordinary that it may and shall be lawfull to every Parishoner where the Benefice is to retein and keep his or their tithes and likewise for the Church-wardens to enter and take the profits of the Glebe lands and other Rents and duties of every such Benefice to be imployed to the use of the poor and he shewed how that the Parson made a Covenant and a Bond that he would permit I. S. to take the profits of his Benefice for a year And whether this were such a Lease for which the Parson ought to forfeit the profits ut super he prayed the opinion of the Court and it seemed to them it is not the reason seemeth to be because he doth not aver him to be absent above 80 daies in the same year 83. PEr Popham If a man find my horse Conversion and after ride him and then delivers the horse unto me and I bring an Action of Trover for the Conversion It is no plea that you have delivered the horse to me before the Action brought for you ought to answer to the Conversion 84. CHesson brought an assumpsit against D. K. Abatement of debt and declared that where I. S. was indebted to him in 64l The Defendant in consideration that the Plaintif would abate 10l parcell of the said Debt and also would give day to the said I. S. untill Michaelmas then next following for payment of the said 54 l. residue That the next day after she the said Defendant would become bound to the now Party for the payment of the said 54. l. at the said Feast of St. Michael and the Plaintiff in facto saith that he hath abated 10. l. parcell of the said 64. l. and yet the Defendant did not become bounden for the payment of the said 54. l. residue per quod actio accrevit The Defendant pleaded in Barre That after the said day given and before Michaelmas scil tali die the Plaintiff entred a plaint in London for the Debt aforesaid of 64. l. Arrest before the day given for payment and then caused the said I. S. to be arrested and demanded judgement si actio Tanfield The Declaration is sufficient for you have delared that you have abated part of the debt but you have not shewed how that was defaulked and therefore not good for we may take issue upon that if we will and if a man be bound in an Obligation to discharge me of certaine rent it is no plea for him to say that he hath me discharged without shewing how for that that I may take issue upon thaâ— Also to the second matter the Plaintiff ought not onely to give day of payment but also to forbeare to molest I. S. untill the day be come Cook to the contrary And as to the first poiut it seemeth that the discharge ought to be upon the entring into bond Bond for parcell of a contract for if a man make a Contract for 10. l. and after enter into bond for 5 l. parcell of that all the Contract is gone as appears per 3. H. 4. And as to the second point I think the promise is broken by the Defendant for that he did not enter into Bond the next day after the assumption made Gawdie I doubt whether the Declaration be good or not for it seems to me that the Plaintiff ought to shew how he hath defaulked the 10. l. part of the 64. l. for it may not be intended a defaulking in Law but of a defaulking indeed and for that it is not like the case cited in 3. H. 4. But the Plaintiff ought to doe an Act himselfe And 17. Eliz. A man was bound to allow ratifie and confirm a term for yeers And it is no Plea to say that he hath that confirmed But he ought to shew how because every Confirmation must be by Deed but if the Declaration were good then perchance the Barre would not be good And howbeit that Mr. Attorney hath said that there is a breach for not entring into Bond yet the Plaintiff may not sue Every discharge to be by writing if he have not performed his promise Fenner It will be hard to make the Declaration good for when one promiseth to defaulk his debt this shall be intended a lawfull discharge which cannot be otherwise than by writing and per 20. E. 3. Accompt If a man be bound to acknowledge a Statute For the intent must also be performed and he doth acknowledge the same but yet keeps the same in his own hands this is no performance And as to the second point when one promiseth in confideration of one thing to doe another there ought to be performance of the first as if a man be bound to make a new Pale Disturbance of the consideration as 9. Edw. 4. 20. 15. Edw. 4. 2. 3. is having the old pale for his labour there if the old pale be taken from him he is not bound to make the new pale Popham I am of the same opinion 85. DIxon brought an Action upon the case against Adams Assumpâ—it in consideration that a man will voluntarily do that act which otherwise he should have been compelled to doc and declared that whereas I. S. was indebted to the said Adams in 60. l. forwhich the said Adams arrested the said I. S. and the said Dixon was 〈◊〉 for the said I. S. in the said suit and the said Adams recovered in the said suit and after sued forth a Scire facias against the said Dixon being bail whereupon the said Adams in confideration that the said Dixon would pay him the 60. l. the said Adams assumed to assigne over unto him the said first Obligation in which the said I. S. was bound unto him and upon which the first action was brought and the judgement thereupon had and the Plaintiff dixit in facto that he had paid the 60. l. to the Defendant Sed â—radictus defend promissionem assumptionem suas minime curans hath not assigned over to the Plantiff the said Obligation and Judgement per quod act accrevit and Judgement was given for the Plaintiff for the consideration was holden good 86. ROsse brought an Ejectione firme against Thomas Ardwick Limitation and the case was such that one Norwood was seised in see and leased to one Nicholas Ardwick and his Assignes for his own life and for the lives of Thomas Andrew and John Ardwick and after Norwood the Lessor leased the Reversion to Rosse the now Plaintif for 21 years and after Nicholas Ardwick made a lease of the same land to Thomas Ardwick to hold at will and
the Kings-bench against one Fuller And the said Felix Marshall became Bail for the said Fuller in the said suit Scilicet That if the said Fuller should be condemned in that Action and did not either pay that condemnation or yield his body to prison that then Felix Marshall should pay the condemnation for him according to the ordinary course of Bailes But yet in pleading of this Recognisance he said further Et si defecerit in solutione tuuc vult concedit quod pradictum debitum levetur de terris et tenementis suis And Gawdy Justice said he did not use any such wordes when he took Bail And after this Bail taken and before Judgement given in the said suit the said Hoo the Testator released to the said Marshall all actions and demands And after Judgement was given for the said Hoo the Testator against Fuller and thereupon the Testator brought a Scire facias against M. as appears before and M. pleaded the said release and hanging this Plea Hoo the Testator dyed and then the Executors brought another Scire facias against the said M. And he pleaded this release again in barr Learning for releases Gawdy I doubt of the case for 5 Eliz. 217. the Covenantee released all actions suits quarrels debts executions and trespasses and this was before any Covenant broken And it is there holden that it is no barr to an action of Covenant afterwards brought upon a Covenant after broken Annuity And per. 4. Ed. 4. 40. If a Grantee of an Annuity release all actions to the Grantor before the day of payment Read against Bullock this will discharge the arrearages before accrued but not those payments after And by Read and Bullocks Case a release is not available to any other right or action than such as a man hath at the time of the release for it is against the nature of a release to take effect in tempore futuro and in the case in question there was no action nor demand before judgement given against Fuller Difference where the first delivery is void and where not And I doubt of the case cited in 27 H. 6. 7. where an Obligation is delivered as an escrowl and the Obligee release to the Obligor all actions after the Obligation is delivered as the deed of the party whether this release do that discharge or not it shall not by P. 5. H. 7. fo 27. Infant So there are many other cases there put as if an Infant deliver a deed as an Escrowl to be delivered as his deed when he comes of full age There I take the Law clear that if the condition be performed at ful age of the Infant yet this is not his deed And so of a Feme Covert which delivers a deed as an Escrowl to be delivered upon Condition when she is sole Feme â—oveâ—t if after the deed be delivered when the Woman is sole yet this is not her deed for in these two last cases the first act which was the delivery as an Escrowl was meerly void And if a man be indicted by conspiracy and after release to the conspirators all actions and after that the party indicted is arraigned upon this Indictment and by Triall is acquitted I doubt whether this release shall barr him in an action of conspiracy or not Fenner said that the Recognisance is immediatly a Debt and for that this release shall be a Barr for by Lytt a release of all actions is no bar in a fieri fac to have execution within the year but in a Scire fac after the year it is a good bar Release after delivery is an Escrowl and so in this case it is a barr which was not a bar at the first And I see not any reason forwhich if the King release a Recognisance which is not yet broken it should not be a discharge of the Recognisance Except it be for that that the generall words in the Kings grant shall not extend to discharge such a Recognisance without speciall words And I think that a deed which is delivered as an Escrowl is not a deed but onely after the delivery of that as a deed and shall not relate to be a deed ab initio And for that a release made before the delivery as a deed albeit that after that it is delivered as an Escrowl shall not discharge it Pas 5. H. 7. 27. Clinch I think that this release shall be a good barr for if the Defendant at the time when he entered bail had had his land and had sold it afore the Judgement given against Fuller for whom he was bâ—il none will deny but that this land shall be lyable which proves that this is a Recognisance and a Debt immediately Popham This is aprettie case but there will be a difference between a duty upon a contingent and a duty absolute for if I covenant to â—ufeoff you of the mannor of Dale before such a day Duties absolute contingent differece and bind my self by Obligation to perform the covenants and before the day you release to me all actions there the Obligation is discharged but not the Covenant for the Obligation was an absolute duty and the Covenant but contingent Obligation to perform covenants discharged but not the covenant and it seemeth that a deed delivered as an Escrowl may not be discharged by release made before that the Escrowl be delivered as a deed And in the case at bar there is no duty but upon a Contingent that is to say if the party be condemned and do not satisfie the Debt nor render his body to prison And for that before that it become a duty such a release will never be a discharge being but a possibility for it hath been adjudged that where a lease hath been made to two for their lives A possibility cannot be discharged or surrendred the Remainder which shall first happen to dye for forty yeares that neither the one nor the other nor both together may grant this term of 40. yeares before it be setled if I release all demands before that the rent is due the rent is gone But it is otherwise of a release of all actions Gawdie I agree that a release of all demands will discharge rent due Release of demands actions difference Popham If I make a lease to I. S. for so many yeares as I. K. shall name this I. S. may not surrender his term before that I. K. name the yeares And he denyed that the land of Marshall the manucaptor which he had at the time of the Bayl should be bound being sold before the Judgement against Fuller as Justice Clinch did affirm in his argument Fenner There is a difference between an Action and an Interest And after Judgement was given that the release was no bar 99. MAckerell brought an Assumpsit against Bachelor Necessary apparell and declared that in consideration that the Plaintif did deliver unto
a Grantee of a Reversion for years be within the Statute or not Gawdy Well enough For the words of the Statute extend to that quod fuit concessum Then it was moved that this was a meer collaterall Covenant between the persons and not concerning the estate of the land and for that not within the Statute Popham sayd Covenant reall which concerneth the estate If nothing be sayd to the contrary intretur Judicium for the Plaintiff afterwards the case was moved again Gawdie It seems the case is Assigne which in regard of his reversion as of a Covenant may well maintain this action by the Statute of 32. Fenner This Covenant is not any Covenant to be performed during the estate or terme of the Defendant but it is a Covenant to doe a thing in the end of his term and for that is not a Covenant of which the Assignee of the reversion shall have benefit by the Statute for that he hath not any reversion depending upon any estate when the Covenant is alledged to be broken for the Defendant when he breaks that Covenant is but Tenant at sufferance Gawdie contra the Covenant is not to doe a thing after the terme determined but at the instant of the determination of the term and therfore it is a Covenant annexed to the State and runnes with the Land and therefore the Plaintiff shall have advantage over it 110. TRespasse and assault was brought against one Sims by the Husband and the Wife for beating of the woman A Child born living but bruised Cook the case is such as appears by examination A man beats a woman which is great with child and after the child is born living but hath signes and bruises in his body received by the said batterie and after dyed thereof I say that this is murder Fenner Popham absentibus cateris cleerly of the same opinion and the difference is where the child is born dead and where it is born living for if it be dead born it is no murder for non constat whether the child were living at the time of the batterie or not or if the batterie was the cause of the death but when it is born living and the wounds appeare in his body and then he dye the Batteror shal be arraigned of murder for now it may be proved whether these wounds were the cause of the death or not and for that if it be found he shall be condemned 111. GOodale against Wyat in trepasse The speciall verdict found that Sr John Pagginton was seised of the land in question in Fee Mortgage and morgaged it to one Woodliff upon condition that if he or his Heires did pay to the Heires Executors or Administrators of the said W. within one yeer after the death of the said Woodliff 50 l. That then the said deed of Feoffment and the Seisin thereupon given should be void and afterwards Woodliff infeoffed Goodale of the same land and gave notice of the said Feoffment to Sr J. P. and after Woodliff dyed and Sir J. agreed with the heir of W. to wit one Drew Woodliff to take 30 l. for the said 50 l. but when the 30 l. was to be paid Sir J. paid to the said Drew VV. all the fifty pounds and after such payment made Drew VV. gave back to the said Sr. J. 20 l. parcel of the 50 l. Altam 2. points are in the case The first is to whom the payment of the money as this case is ought to be made and I think to the Feoffee because the Heir hath nothing to do in the land and to prove that he cited fundamenta legum 17. Ass 2. 6. R. 2. Plesingtons case and the case of one Ramsey 19. Eliz. was such a man infeoffed three Ramseys case upon condition that if the Feoffor paid to them or their heires 100 l. that then he might re-enter and after one of the Feoffees dyed and the Feoffor tendred the money to his Heir and adjudged a void tender And also Littleton proves that but tif the condition might be performed to the Heirby payment that ought to be precisely performed for he is now as a stranger having nothing in the land and the Covin between the Feoffor and the Heir must not hurt my Olient for by 4. E. 2. câ—i in vita 22. If cui in vita be brought against a Prior and hanging the action he is deposed by Covin this shal not abate the Writ and it was adjudged in this Court where a man was bound by Obligation to deliver a bond and after he got a judgement upon it and then delivered the bond and holden no performance of the condition because the intent was not performed and 20. E. 3. accompt 29. in accompt the Defendant pleaded a Deed whereby the Plaintiff granted that if the Defendant made a Recognisance to him that then the Writ of accompt shall be made void and he shewed how he made a Recognisance But the Plaintiff said that after the making and before deliverie of that to him Composition by Executors the Defendant took it from the Clerk and therefore was adjudged to accompt Precisely named and by 18. E. 4. 20. If a man be bound to license another to carrie a 100. Oakes if he do license him and then disturb him the condition is broken and the common case of Executors will prove this for if an Executor have but 20 l. assets in his hands and is in debt to two men in 20. l. to either of them if he pay but 10 l. to the one and have an acquittance of him for the whole debt of 20 l. yet the other 10. l. that remains in his hands shall be assets to the other for no compacting between strangers shall prejudice my right per quo c. Payment upon a mâ—rgage good to the Executorrs cleelry Gawdy I think cleerly if the payment had been intirely made to the Heir without collusion it had been good for that he is preisely named for none will deny but that if the payment had been made to the Executors it had been good but the Covin between the Heir and the Feoffor peradventure will make no payment Father enfeoff the son and for that 34. E. 1. Warrantie 88. If the father infeoff the Son to the intent that this land shall not be assets to the Sonne to bar him in a Formdone this Covin will not serve to aid him Covin by administration and 2 3 Mar. the Husband dyed intestate and administration was committed to the wife which tooke another husband and the second husband and his wife as Administrators brought an action of Debt hanging which suit the Sonne of the intestate by fraud and covin between him and a Debtor obtained other letters of Administration to him and the woman joyntly and after judgement the sonne by covin to defeat the execution released to the Debtor all demands and executions and after the Husband and
Wife sued execution and the Debtor upon this release brought an audita querela and adjudged against him because of covin but there is a third matter which makes an end of all for it is found that Sir John Pagginton entred upon Goodale and Goodale re-entred and then the Defendant entring is a Trespassor to the Plaintiff because no title is found for him to make his entrie lawfull Finner I thinke no payment ought to be made to the heir in this case no more than it shall be where a man is bound by obligation to pay a lesser sum to the Obligee his Heires or Executors there payment shall be to the Executor and not to the Heir And I think in this case Conusee by Starute grants over his estate that the payment ought to be to the Feoffee for that that he is to have the losse for by 22. E. 3. 15. E. 3. if a man have exeution by Statute and grant his estate over if the Conusor will pay the money and have the land again it shall be paid to the Grantee and not to the Conusee But I am cleer in opinion that for another cause judgement ought to be given against the Defendant for the words of the condition are sub conditione That if Sir John Pagginton pay 50. l. to the Heires Executors or Administrators of W. That the said Deed of Feoffment Liveriâ— cannot be void without a reentire and the seizin upon that given shall be void And I think it is no condition for livery of seisin may not be void without a re-entry as 15. H. 7. is but for the matter of the Covin it seems to me that if the Heir may receive the money that shall not prejudice for if he have right to have the money who hath any wrong if he give part of that to another Clinch The payment of the money to the Heire is good for when a man departeth with his estate it is in his dispose to annexe what condition he will and for that when he appointeth to the Heires Executors or Administrators payment to any of them is good And he said it was a good condition Possession a good title against all which have not a better and no fraud for the duty was due to the Heir but for the last matter that is not to be cured for when one title is found for the Defendant and it is found that the outed one that had elder possession his entry is torcious Popham I think the condition is not good for whensoever you will have an estate of inheritance to cease Estates beginning by liverie and otherwise you ought to have apt words to make it cease for an estate which beginneth by liverie may not cease by words but it is otherwise of an estate that beginneth by contract without any liverie and seisin but in the point of fraud I am of opinion with my brother Gawdy Fraudulent recoveries are void although they be by a good title For fraud in our law is not favoured albeit the partie have right for if he that hath right is of covin with one to disseise him that is in possession to the intent that he will recover against him now this recoverie albeit he hath right will doe no good to him but the last makes all without question and so judgement was given for the Plaintiff 112. SAyer brought an Eejectione firme against Hardy A Lease determinable made good for the insensibility of words and a speciall verdict was found to wit that a Lease was made to a widow for 40. yeers sub hac tamen conditione quod si ipsa tam diu sola fuerit inhabitabit in the same house the woman continued sole all her life and dwelt all her time in the said house and dyed within the term the question was whether the term be determined or not and whether the words make a condition or limitation Morgan It is no condition and cited Colthursts case but if it were a condition here is no breach alleged for the death is the Act of God which no man may resist and the Act of God may not prejudice any man Bromly I think the word makes a Limitation and not a Condition and he tited the Lord Barkly's case Gawdie If a Lease be made to a feme sole if she so long live sole and continue unmarried now if she dye the Lease is determined Differences between conditions and limitations and per Litl If an Abbot make a lease for 40. yeers if he so long be Abbot if he after be deposed or dye the lease is determined So is it of a lease made by the Husband if he so long continue Husband of such a woman but in this case the words are insensible and for that it is neither condition nor Limitation vide 3. E. 6. Dyer 65. 66. Popham Clinch It is neither Condition nor limitation but if this word si had been omitted it would have been a condition Or if the words sub conditioâ—â— quod had been omitted it would have been a limitation And if I make a Lease for 40. yeers if the Lessee dwell upon the thing let during the term there if the Lesse dye the Lease is determined for that the point of limitation goeth to all the term but if it be a lease for 40. yeers if the Lessee dwell upon that during his life there if he dye the Lease continueth So they all concluded that the terme yet continueth per quod judicium intretur pro quer 113. IN the case between Walter and Walter for 20. l. per annum to be paid to a Justice of Wales for the Office of the Clerk of Fines Assumpsit in consideration of an Office sold For a Justice of Wales may by Prescription take notice of Fines of Land lying in certain Shires in Wales and this 20 l. per annum was to be payd by the Servant to the Master for the sayd Office for the Clerks Fee was v. s iiij d. of every Fine The Action for not paying the xx l. Mistrâ—all was brought and tried in comitatu Gloucest And therefore Mr. Attorney said it was mis-tryed for properly it ought to be tryed in one of the three Shires in Wales John Walter I think the Tryall good for 30 Eliz. there was a Case in this Court between Beveridge and Conney Reveridge against Conney And the case was that a Lease was made in the County of Northampton of lands in the County of Cambridge and the Lessee was bound by Obligation to pay his rent in the County of Northhampton The Defendant pleaded payment in the County of Cambridge and this was found in the County of Northampton Gawdy This is a good Case let us see the Record Walter You shall Sir But the Court seemed to incline against Walter Cook said that in this case the Assumption is voyd per le Statute de 5 Ed. 6. cap. 16. For it is not
lawfull to sell such an Office 114. IN an Action of Debt upon an Escape Escape Popham Clinch and Gawdy sayd P. 36. Eliz. if a Prisoner in Execution escape and the Jaylor make fresh suit and before the re-taking the party bring his Action against the Jaylor now the Jaylor may not re-take the Prisoner as to be in execution for the Plaintif again but onely for his own indempnity but if the party doe not bring his Action then the Jaylor may re-take his Prisoner and he shall be in Execution again for the Plaintif Wast For by Popham this Case is like to Wast the which if it be repaired before the Action brought the party shall not have an Action 115. A. B. was Utlawed after Judgement Elegit after Vâ—lary and an Elegit was awarded against the Defendant Mr. Godfrey prayed a Supersedeas quia erronice emanavit for the party may not have any other manner of Execution but a Capias for a Fieri fac he may not have for the Queen is intituled to all his goods and an Elegit he may not have for by the Utlawry the Queen is intituled to all the profits of his Lands Feoffment by an outlaw Gawdy It appeares by 21 Hen. 7. 7. a. That the party Outlawed may make a Feoffment and so out the King of the Profits and so it seemeth in this Case But it is good to be advised 116. SR Henry Jones Knight Error in fine and remedy and I. his Wife the Wife being then within age levied a Fine of the lands of the Wife and a precipe quod reddat was brought against the Conusee which vouched the Husband and the Wife and they appeared in person and vouched over the common Vouchee which appeared and after made default whereby a Recovery was had and now the said Wife and her second Husband brought a Writ of Error to reverse the Fine and another Writ of Error to reverse the Recovery by reason of the nonage of the woman and the court was of opinion to reverse the Fine but they would advise upon the Recovery for that the said Henry Jones Knight and his Wife appeared in person and vouched over and so the Recovery was had against them by their appearance and not by default and so it seemeth no Error Generall warranty destroieth titles and conditions and to prove that Gawdy cited 1 and 2 Mar. Dyer 104 and 6 H. 8. 61. Saver default 50. Also as this case is it seemeth that by generall entry into warranty the Error upon the Fine is gone as where a man hath cause to have a Writ of right or title to enter for a Condition broken or any other title to land and in a praecipe quod reddat of the same land is vouched and entreth generally into warranty by that the condition or other title is gone but upon examination it was found that the Recovery was before the Fine for the Recovery was Quindena Trin. and the Fine was tres Trin. And so the Recovery doth not give away the Error in the Fine 117. IN Evidence between Tutball and Smote the case was such Condition extinguished P. 36 Eliz. that a Termor for years granted his Term to I. S. upon condition that if the Grantee did not yearly pay x l. to Q. R. that the grant should be void after the Grantor died and made the Grantee his Executor and whether the Condition be extinguished or not was the question Popham and Gawdy said the Condition is extinguished for it is impossible for the Executor to enter upon himself Clinch Fenner è contra The debtor marrieth the Executor for he hath the Term jure proprio and the Condition as Executor and so he hath them as in severall capacities Cook It hath been adjudged where a man is indebted and marryeth with the Excutor and the Executor dyes yet this is no devastavit for the Husband hath been charged 118. RIchard Thorn Administrator of an Administrator and Jane his Wife as Administratrix of one I. Gime brought Debt of xx l. against I. S. And alleged that the Testator was Administrator of one Mary Gime which Mary Gime lent the money to the now Defendant Trin. 36. Eliz. and Judgement was given in the Common place against I. S. And upon the Writ of Error Error was assigned for that that the now Plaintif as Administrator of an Administrator brought this Action where the Administration of the first Testatators goods ought newly to have been committed by the Ordinary to the next of Kin and he to whom the Administration of the goods of the first Administrator is committed hath nothing to doe with them And so the Iudgement was Reversed 119. HUmble brought Debt against Glover for arrearages of rent Privity determined of both parts and the case was this that a man made a lease for term of years and after granted the Reversion to the Plaintif and after the Lessee for yeares assigned over his whole estate and interest and after this assignment rent was behind and the Grantee of the Reversion brought Debt against the first Lessee for rent due after his estate assigned over and whether Debt will lye against the Lessee after the assignment was the question and the opinion of all the Judges was that no Debt lyeth for the Grantee of the Reversion against the first Lessee after the assignment of his term for when the privily of the estate is determined of both parts no Debt lyeth and so the Plaintif was barred 120. IN Evidence between Maidston and Hall Maintenance Popham said that it was agreed in the Star Chamber if two are at issue in any Action It is not lawfull for any stranger to labour the Jury to appear for for such an Act one Gifford was fined in the Star-Chamber Giffords case Gawdy Truly the Law is so for labouring of Juries is maintenance 121. DIckâ—ns brought an action of trespass against Marsh Estaâ—e by Devise and a speciciall Verdict was found that R. D. being seised of certain lands in Fee had issue three children to wit John Toby and Mary and by his Will devised that after his debts paid he giveth all his goods lands and moveables unto his three children equally between them Altam There are two matters to be considered in the case the first is what estate the children have by this devise whether Fee simple or but for life the second is whether Joyntenants or Tenants in commn and as to the first point I think they have but an estate for life for it appeares 22 H. 6. 16. If I devise land to one without expressing what estate he shall have Dyer 23 Eliz. 371. he is but Tenant for life but if it be expressed in the devise No estate expressed that the Devisee shall pay 20. s to John S. there as the book is 24 H. 8.

A Quare impedit was brought by Beverley against Cornwall Vtlary which was the Presentee of the Queen and the Plaintif had Judgement to recover and now the Queens Serjeant shewed that the Plaintif is outlawed and prayed that he Writ to the Bishop might be stayed and that they may have a scire facias for the Queen to shew wherefore she shall not have Execution of this Judgement Walmysley This cannot be debated now for the Plaintif hath no day in Court after Judgement and this is but a surmise Curia The Record here before us testifies that he is outlawed VValmysley Yet it is but their surmise that he is the same person VVyndam In debt upon an Oblig If the Plantif be outlawed the Queens Serjeants may pray the debt for the Queen and yet this is but a surmise And the opinion of three Justices was for Anderson was absent that they ought to stay Execution but how Processe shall be awarded or if a Scire sacias shall issue against the Plaintif or no they would be advised for the course thereof but Peryam thought that they might have a Scire facias against the antient Incumbent 4.
