But in the principal case if the Lease had been for years there the Rent is said to be a Debt during the Lease as well as after A Fem sole being Lessee for life takes Husband then they make a Lease to I. for his life rendring a Rent the Husband dies the Wife accepts the Rent in Pais the Lessor may enter and she is barr'd of her Cui in vita for by her acceptance she hath agreed to the forfeiture If the Issue in tail accepts the Rent with a Proviso that it shall not be prejudicial to his entry to avoid the Lease yet he shall never defeat the Lease The Husband and Wife make a Lease for life reserving a Rent the Husband dies the Wife accepts the Rent from the Lessee she shall not avoid the Remainder for they are both but one Estate and an Agreement cannot be to parcel of an estate So if a Lease be made to two by Husband and Wife for their lives rendering a Rent during the life of one of them If the Wife after the death of her Husband accepts the rent she shall not oust the Survivor The Husband and Wife being tenants in tail the Husband makes a Lease for years reserving a Rent and dies the Wife dies also Quaere if the acceptance of the Rent by the Issue will make the Lease good A man makes a Feofment upon condition the Feoffee makes a Lease for life and grants the reversion to the Feoffor If he hath cause to have a Writ of Right or other real action he cannot have it against the Lessee for life for the Reversion is in him by his own acceptance A gift in tail is made to the Donee and the Heirs males of his Body and for want of such Issue the remainder to him and the Heirs females of his body the Donee makes a Lease for years reserving a rent and dies without Issue male If the Heir female accepts the rent she shall be bound for the Lease issued out of both the estates But if the Heir male had made the Lease the Heir female cannot make it good by acceptance If Tenant in tail dies his Heir within age and the Guardian avoids it during the minority yet the Heir at his full age by his acceptance may affirm it So if the Wife of Tenant in tail avoids a Lease by a Recovery in Dower yet after her death if the Issue accepts the Rent he hath made good the Lease Administrator AFter the death of the Intestate A gets the goods and gives them to B and after Letters of Administration are granted to A he shall not take the Goods out of the possession of B for the Law saies by the first taking the Goods he had them to the use of the Intestate for he shall be charged as Executor de son tort And he is to have the Goods in the same capacity But it is otherwise if A takes the goods of B tortiously and gives them to C and then B makes A his Executor But in the principal case if A releaseth to a Debtor of the Intestate after administration committed to him he may have an Action for of a chose in action a man cannot gain a possession If a Lease is made to begin at Easter and before Easter A grants it over and before Easter the Lessee dies and A takes administration to the Lessee and grants it over to another the second Grantee shall enjoy it If a Rent charge is granted for years and A compels the Tenant to pay it to him and then he grants it over and takes Letters of Administration to the first Grantee he shall avoid his own Grant for the possession which he had usurped shall not be esteemed the possession of the same term but it shall be said a voluntary payment of the Tenant for none can be said to have the Rent but he that had right to it Advantage THree joint-tenants one gives his part to his Daughter in Frank-marriage to one of his Companions and makes Livery This is a good Frank-marriage for though one Joynt-tenant cannot enfeoffe another yet his Companion and a stranger he may because 't is for the Advantage of a third person and the Livery being made to the third person shall vest the estate in both 7 H. 6. 3. 21 H. 7. 41.

Tenant for life dies the Heir of the other Jointenant enters the Infant outs him he brings an Assize some think it is maintainable For when he brought a Dum fuit infra c. and recovered a Moity now he defeats the Lease for his moity and makes it as if the other had made the Lease for life only which makes a severance of the Jointure Two Jointenants by twelve pence one grants all that belongs to him upon Condition the Lord grants the Seignory of one with Atturnment the Feoffor Enters for breach of the Condition he shall hold by twelve pence and the other by twelve pence also for there is no Apporcionment Though one Jointenant cannot infeoffe his Companion yet his Companion and another he may and the Livery made to the other shall vest the Estate in both If a Reversion be granted to Tenant for life and a stranger the Jointure of the Fee is severed for Tenant for life hath a Fee in the moity Executed If the Reversion be granted to Tenant in tail and a Stranger the Fee remaines in Jointure And if the Husband be Tenant for life and the Reversion is granted to him and his Wife the Jointure remains for there is no Moities between them If a Lease be made to two Habendum one Moity to one the other to the other for life and after a Confirmation is made to them and their Heirs the Joynture of the Fee is severed for the Confirmation inures according to the Nature of the Estate But if the Reversion had been granted to them in Fee they had been Joyntenants for the particular Estate had been drowned If there be two Tenants in Common for life and the Reversion is granted to two Jointly and one Purchaseth the Estate of one Tenant for life and the other of the other The Joynture is severed For the Purchase being at severall times presently upon each purchase the fee was executed If a Seignory be granted in fee to two one takes an Estate of the Tenancy pur auter vye cesty que vye dies The Jointure remains because they were Jointenants at the beginning Two Jointenants for life and one is bound in a Statute and then grants his Estate yet it is liable to execution during his life but 't is otherwise of an Estate for years for in the one the Land is bound by the Statute in the other not If a Recovery be had against one Jointenant his Companion shall not avoid it for the Right was bound but it is otherwise of Charges for the possession is only chargeable If one Jointenant in Fee takes a Lease by Indenture of his Moity from a stranger the Survivor shall avoid it Land is given to two and the Heirs of their bodies the remainder to their right Heirs they are not Jointenants of the Fee If one Jointenant makes a Lease for five years on Condition that the Lessee doth such an Act by a day he shall have for twenty years and he dies before the day the Condition is void as to the Survivor If there be two Jointenants for life one makes a Lease for years and dies the Survivor shall not avoid it for the same Estate which he had continues now and there is no difference if they had a Feesimple some think the contrary for the Survivor hath not the Freehold of his Companion as he hath the Fee where they are Jointenants in Feesimple for his Estate determins by his death But all agree that if A. and B. be Jointenants for the life of C. and A. makes a Lease for life and dies B. shall not avoid it for the Estate which he had continues Two Jointenants in Fee are disseised by the Father of one who dies and the son enters he is remitted to all the land his Companion shall enter with him And it is not like the case where two are disseised and a Dissent cast during the Nonage of one and he enters and is remitted for a Moity his Companion shall not enter because that this priviledge is given him in respect of his person more than in respect of the Land Neither is it like the case where Tenant in tail enfeoffs one Daughter and she dies she being within age she is remitted and yet her Companion shall not have Advantage of it because the Right was not in them before If a Fem Jointenant for years takes Husband and she dies the Survivor shall have all Two Jointenants of two Acres the Land is confirmed to them in Fee of one Acre to the use of one and of the other to the use of the other they are severall Tenants of the Freehold of the Acres for the Freehold is drownd to the Confirmation to the use Tenant for life makes a Lease for life the remainder to his Lessor and a Stranger they are not Jointenants but the Stranger shall take all for he could not give a Fee to him that had it before As if Tenant in tail infeosfs the Donor or if one Jointenant his Companion and a Stranger the Stranger takes all If two Jointenants makes a Lease for life and one grants his part of the Reversion during the life of the Lessee some think this is a severance of the Jointure If one Jointenant makes a Lease for years the Remainder to the right Heirs of A. if the Lessor dies in the life of A. the Survivor shall have the Reversion for the Lease for yeares was no severance of the Jointure neither could it support the contingent remainder Judgement IN Debt upon a Recovery in trespass the plaintiff recovers there where the action was brought a Writ of Error depending in B. R. upon trespass and after the Judgement given in debt the Judgement in trespass is reversed Quaere what remedy he shall have for the debt recovered for it is a Recovery in the C. B. which he cannot reverse in another Court and though he might yet the Execution of the debt being past he cannot be restored to that by the Reversall in the first Writ of Error in the trespass Lease IF a Lease be made for years and after the Lessor makes another Lease for life to commence after the end of the term the second Lease is void although there be Atturnment for a Freehold cannot passe out of any person that hath a greater Estate reserving an Estate until the Freehold commences but if the Lease had been but for years it had been otherwise and in the mean time the Lessee shall have the Rent reserved upon the
Lessee makes a Feofment and the Disseisee releaseth to the Feoffee the Disseisor cannot Enter But if the Heir of the Disseisor who is in by descent makes a Lease for life the Lessee makes a Feoffment and the Disseisee releaseth to the Feoffee the Lessor may enter for the Disseisee could not 9 H. 7. 25. pet Fineux If an Infant makes a Lease for life and the Lessee grants his Estate with Warranty the Infant brings a Dum fuit infra Etatem and the Tenant vouches the Grantor who enters into Warranty and loseth the Demandant Releaseth to him and his Heirs some think the Release is void for he is Tenant only to answer the Action but a Release which is to enlarge an Estate must inure upon a privity of Estate And therefore a Release made to Tenant by the Curtesie in Fee after he hath granted over his Estate is void and yet an Action of Wast shall be maintainable against him by the Heir and he shall Atturn If a Lease be made for life the Remainder for life the Tenant for life dies and before the Entry of him in Remainder the Lessor Releaseth to him in Fee that shall inure according to the words But in a Writ of Entry in the Per if the Tenant vouch him by whom c. who enters into Warranty and the Demandant Releaseth to him that inures by way of Extinguishment If a woman who hath cause of Dower Releaseth to the Guardian that takes away her Title and Estate though the Gardian had but a Chattle and the Heir shall Advantage of it It was said in the case of the Dum fuit infra aetatem if he had Released in tail a greater Estate should not have passed for though it doth not appear by the Dum fuit infra aetatem what Estate he claims for the Writ is generall yet when he enters generally into the Warranty he shall not be said to have a Fee against the Demandant but the Demandant shall make an Averment that he did not make the Devise but only for life A Release made to the Patron when the Church is full doth not extinguish an Annuity otherwise if it had been in the time of vacation 21 H. 7. 41. but a Release to the Ordinary peradventure will not avail Tenant for life grants a Rent Charge a Release to him in Reversion will not extinguish it no more than if he in Reversion grants a Rent Charge a Release to Tenant for life will extinguish it If there be two Disseisors and one makes a Lease of a Moity for years reserving a Rent with a Re-entry for not payment the Disseisee releaseth to the other who did not make a Lease he shall have the whole Freehold of all the Land and the Lessee shall not pay the Rent to him for he comes to the Reversion by Title Paramount and not by any Privity A. ours his Termor for years and then makes a Lease for years the first Termor releaseth to the second the first Lessor may enter and have the Land against them both for by the Release the Right of the first Termor was extinct As if a Rent Charge be granted to the Disseisor c. and it doth not fortifie the Estate of the second Lessee during the first Term for if the first Lease had bin for twenty years and the second but for a year yet by the Release of the first Lessee to the second all the first Estate shall be extinguished But if he had been Tenant for life and the Disseisee Releaseth to the Disseisor now during his life the Lessor cannot enter otherwise if he had been Tenant for years for in one case the Disseisor had a Freehold in him which might be fortified and in the other case but a Chattle Although the Husband cannot give any thing to the Wife immediately yet if a Disseisoresse makes a Lease for life the Remainder to her self in tail the Remainder to A. in Fee and marries the Disseisee who releaseth to Tenant for life that will inure to his Wife If an Infant Disseisor makes a Feoffment and the Feoffee dies seised and his Heir enters to whom the Disseisee releaseth yet the Infant shall have a Dum fuit infra aetatem and shall recover for he demauds the possession to which he had more Right than the Disseisee and the Tenant ought to answer to the Demise and not to the Right As if the Heir of the Disseisor who is in by Descent brings an Assize against his Disseisor it is no plea for him to plead the Release of the Disseisee for he demands the possession to which he had more Right than the Disseisee So if the Disseisor recovers in an Assize by erroneous Judgement against his Disseisor and the Disseisee releaseth to him that hath recovered and the other brings a Writ of Error it is no plea for him to plead the Release for the intent of the Suit was to correct the Error upon the Record If a Disseisor makes a Lease for life and the Lessee makes a Feoffment to A. who obtains a Release from the Disseisee the Disseisor brings a Consimili Casu some think he shall recover but if the Heir of the Feoffee who is in by Descent c. gets a Release it is cleer the Disseisor may have an Action and the Tenant ought to answer to the Demise and not to the Right of the Land in both cases If a Disseisor enters upon his Feoffee for breach of a Condition the Feoffee shall not have a Writ of Right though the Right of the Disseisee be released to him before the breach of the Condition So if the Disseisee enters upon the Heir who is in by Descent and makes a Feoffment or releaseth of such an Heir and the Heir re-enters or if one who hath a Title brings a Formedon in Remainder against an Abator and recovers by default See the rest of the case in 9 H. 7. 25. In all these cases he to whom the Release was made or the Right was given shall not have a Writ of Right but it shall goe in advantage of him that Removes the possession for being one hath a right in possession and recontinues it that draws the very right to it and the Right by it self shall not be left in the other Note that in all these cases the Right comes after the possession but if the Right were before the possession and then the possession is removed the Right remains in the person to whom it was given As if the Heir of the Disseisor who is in by descent enfeoffs A. and several other Feoffments are made and after the Land comes to the Heir again and the Disseisor enters upon him and he outs him Now if the Disseisee brings a Writ of Right upon his first possession he shall be deluge by vouching of the Feoffees but he may have a Writ of Right upon the last possession which he had by Disseisin and that is beyond all the

But if Livery be made then the Wood shall go along with the Land If A. requires another orgives him authority without Deed to write seal and deliver a Grant of a Rent Charge out of the Land of the Grantor in the name of the Grantor which is done the Grant is good for if I make a Grant and command one to deliver it it will be good without Deed. So if I by Paroll deliver it him as an Escrowle to be delivered as my Deed upon Condition to be performed that is good But an Authority to make Livery must be by Deed. Neither shall a Woman aver the Assent of the Father for Dower Ex Assensu patris without Deed. Neither can the Lessor Authorize the Lessee to commit Wast without Deed. If an Infant delivers a Deed which bares date two years after and at the end of the two years he is of full age he shall not be Estopped to shew the delivery before the date no more than a Fem Covert otherwise every Infant may be deluded Debt LEssee for forty years makes a Lease for ten years rendring a Rent the first Lessee surrenders the Lessor brings Debt against the second Lessee Quaere A man shall not have Debt for Releif or Escuage granted unto him for it is mixt in the Realty but his Executors shall but he must distrein So the Lord shall not have an Action of Debt for Ayd pur file marier or pur fair fits Chivalier But if he dies before it be levied the Tenant shall be discharged of it An Action of Debt shall not be brought against the Heir and his Brother in Borough English where the Eldest hath nothing by descent as it shall be against the Heirs in Gavel Kind for there he may have a joint judgement against all and not against the Eldest in the other case for he hath nothing upon which it may be levied Quod nota An Action of Debt brought by Executors shall be in the Detinet only although it be for Arrears of Rent incurred after the death of the Testator So it shall be against a man acccomptable to the Testator A Seignory is granted for years the Rent is Arrear and the Tenant dies the years expire if the Grantee shall have an an Action of Debt against the Heir because it was due in the time of his Father and also some was due in his own time or if he shall have an Action of Debt against the Executors for that which was due in the Testators life time or is without Remedy Some say that the Heir shall not be charged in Debt if the Father die not oblige himself and his Heirs expressely and the Executors shall not be charged for they were not chargeable by the death of the Testator for at that time the Grantee could not have an Action of Debt but his remedy was by distresse for then the years were not expired and so no remedy 9 H. 7. 17. a.
