offences Therefore his sentence was That his Name should be put out of the Roll and thrust over the Bar and committed to the Fleet Which was executed accordingly 20 H. 6. 37. 41. E. 3. 1. Which Cases prove the same Iames and Thoroughgood against Collins IAmes and Thoroughgood brought Trespass against Collins And the Case was this A man makes his Testament and gives to 5 men their heirs and assigns certain Houses in Fleet-street c. All of them to have part and part alike and the one to have as much as the other And whether the Defendants were Iointtenants or tenants in Common was the Question and it was adjudged and resolved that they were Tenants in Common And the same Case in 2. 3 Phil. Mary in Bendlows Reports is adjudged so And also in Lucan and Locks Case in the Kings Bench It was afterwards remembred and agreed to be good Law Ratcliff Case Advise to two and his Heirs in Ioynt-tenency by the whole Court against the opinion of Audley It was said by the Court that an Officer of the Court ought to be answered in any action de die in diem Quod nota c. Beguall against Owen BEguall brought a Writ of Partition against Owen before the Iustices of Assise at the grand Sessions in Anglesey And the Defendant pleaded the general issue The Plaintiff prefers a Bill in English and says that Owen is Tenant in Common with him and that divers of his VVitnesses which can prove his Title are so aged that they cannot come to the Sessions and desires a Commission to examine the Witnesses concerning the Title in perpetuam rei memoriam And Henden moved for a Prohibition For that that Cause would be dangerous for the Subject that such Testimonies taken in his absence should be for tryal of his Title Secondly That that examination before the Tryal is against the Statute of 26 H. 8. And although they have it in Chancery yet it is not so here But it was denied by the Court For there was never seen such a President Of a Prohibition to a grand Sessions And by Yelverton They have it in Chancery and if it be not prescribed in what manner they shall have it it should be as in the Chancery Hutton That Commission is not prejudicial to the Subject although a Prohibition be grantable For such Testimonies are not used but after the Witnesses are dead And a man cannot preserve them alive and perchance his Title rests upon their Testimonies Iane Heeles Case IAne Hee le Administratrix of her Husband brought an action of Debt upon an Obligation made to her Husband the Testator The Defendant pleads a Recovery by the Testator upon the same Obligation and that he was taken in execution and that the Sheriff suffered him voluntarily to escape The Plaintiff replies Null tiel Record of the Recovery Vpon which there is a demurrer Davenport That the Iudgement was but a conveyance to their matter in Bar and it ought not to be traversed But it was said by the whole Court That the Iudgement in it self is a good bar if it be not reversed 6 Rep. 45. Higgins case The execution upon that is not but a consequence upon the Iudgement And without the Iudgement Escape is not material for to make the traverse good And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Issues If the King by his Letters Patents grant to the Corporation all Issues within any places The issue that the Corporation it self shall forfeit shall be excepted by intendment of law For otherwise it would be a defrauding of Iustice For then the Corporation would never appear Which note in the Case of Dean and Chapter of Ely Provender against Wood. PRovender brought an action upon the case against Wood For that the Defendant assumed to the Father of the Plaintiff upon a mariage to be solemnised betwéen the Plaintiff and the Daughter of the Defendant to pay him 20 l. And it was agreed by Richardson and Yelverton nullo contradicent That the action well lies for the same And the party to whom the benefit of a promise accrews may bring his action Mrs. Rowes Case MIstris Rowe was arrested by a capias corpus ad satisfaciendum by a Bayliff in Middlesex within the Bars in Holborn which is within the liberty of London And Hitcham the Kings Sergeant prayed a Supersedeas For that that the arrest was false And the Court agreed that a Supersedeas cannot be granted For a Supersedeas it cannot be alleged Executio erronice emanavit but there the Execution is well granted And if it be returned by the Sheriff generally It ought to be intended well served although that the Affidavit be made to the contrary But in this case a Corpus cum causa shall be granted Booth against Franklin BOoth Farmor of a portion of Tithes for 5 years without Deed demises a Farm which he had in the same Parish to Franklin for years and afterwards he libells against him for tithe of that Farm And Franklin said he was not Farmour And Henden prays a Prohibition for that First That the Lease for Tithes is without Deed but he may be discharged of his own Tithes without Deed As was adjudged before in this Court Secondly the Lessee is not to pay tithes for that Farm For although the Parson makes a Lease of the Glebe for years he paid tithes But if a Layman who had the impropriation leases the Glebe the Lessee does not pay tithes But the Court denied the case of the lease of the Parsonage impropriate And said that the case of Perkins and Hinde was adjudged to the contrary in that very point And also if he purchase other lands in the Parish which are discharged of tithes in his hands and he demises them yet the Lessee pays him tithes And the opinion of the Court was If one contract with the Parson for discharge of the Tithes of his lands for years and demises his lands to another yet he shall not have tithes but the discharge runs with the land But if one take a lease of his Tithes by deed and makes a demise of his land he has tithes of the Lessee And the direction was that the Lessee of the Farm ought to shew expresly in the Ecclesiastical Court that the Farmour had not a Lesse by Deed and a Prohibition was granted And it shall be admitted that the words of the libell being Firmator conductor occupator was good Ralph Andrews against Bird. ANdrews brought an action upon the Case against Bird and declares that Bird sued a Trespass in this Court against him and upon not guilty pleaded the issue betwéen the aforesaid Ralph Andrews and Robert Bird was tryed at the Assises c.

Ralph Marsh against John Culpepper RAlph Marsh brought an action upon the
convict DEbt is brought upon an Obligation And the Defendant pleads that the Plaintiff is Recusant and convicted according to the Statute of 21 Iac. cap. 5. and demanded Iudgement of the Action The Plaintiff replies Nul tiel Record And a day was given to bring in the Record Crowley Justice demanded what course he would take to make the Record come in And said that the Indictment was before the Iustices of Peace And the Court said that the Defendant ought to have pleaded the Iudgement if he shall be answered For the disability is not but quousque c As of an excommunicate Person 8 E. 3. Crook Iustice If a Plea be in disability of the Person and be pleaded in Bar it is peremptory And so was the opinion of the Court. And the Debt of a Recusant is not forfeited to the King as in Outlary But if he fail of payment of the Penalty imposed by the Statute Then c. And the Court said that if Nul tiel Record be pleaded in Bar it is an Issue and Iudgement shall be given upon failer of it And the direction of the Court for the bringing in of the Record was That a certiorari should be directed out of that Court to the Iustices of Peace where the Indictment was taken For Presidents were alleged that that Court sent a Certiorari to the Iustices of Assise a fortiori to certifie that in the Exchequer and so come by times into that Court c. Creedlands Case CReedland Administrator durante minori aetate of a Son of his Brother and the Son died and made the Wife of Hindman his Executor who called Creedland to account in the Spiritual Court for the Goods And he pleads an Agréement betwéen him and Hindman and that he gave 80 l. in satisfaction of all Accounts But they did not accept the Plea For that a Prohibition was prayed to be granted Richardson If the party had received the mony in satisfaction for which there shall not be Prohibition granted but if there had béen only an agreement without payment of mony then otherwise Crook It is a spiritual matter and they having Iurisdiction for to determine of all things concerning that But the agreement prevents that it cannot come into the Spiritual Court c. Giles against Balam GIles libells against Balam before the High Commissioners for an assault made upon him being a spirituall Person And Atthowe prayed a Prohibition For that although their Commission by express words gives them power in that Case yet that Commission is granted upon the Statute of 1 Eliz. And it is not within the Statute although it be within the Commission yet they have not Iurisdiction The words of the Statute are That such Iurisdictions and Privileges c. as by any Ecclesiastical power have heretofore been or may be lawfully exercised for the visitation of Ecclesiastical Estate and Persons and for reformations of the same and for all manner of Errors Heresies Schismes Abuses Offences Contempts and Enormityes c. Those words extend only to men who stir up Dissentions in the Churrh as Schismaticks or new-fangled Men who offend in that kind Henden Sergeant The Sute is there for reformation of Manners and before that new amendment of the Commissions Prohibitions were granted if they meddled with Adultery or in Case of defamations But now by express words they have power of those matters And that matter is punishable by the Commissioners for two Causes First there is within the Act of Parliament by the words annexed all Iurisdictions Ecclesiastical c. Secondly It gives power to the Commissioners to exercise that And that is meerly Ecclesiastical being only pro reformatione morum c. The King by his Prerogative having Ecclesiastical Iurisdiction may grant Commissions to determine such things 5 Rep. Ecclesiastical Cases fol. 8. And Richardson said the Statute de Articulis Cleri gave Conusance to the Ordinary for laying violent hands on a Clerk But you affirm that all is given to the Commissioners And for that they should take all power from the Ordinary But by the Court The Commissioners cannot meddle for a stroke in Church-land nor pro substractione decimarum And yet they have express Authority by their Commission For by that course all the Ordinaries in England should be to no purpose And so upon much debate a Prohibition was granted On an Arrest on Christenmas day It was said by Richardson chief Iustice That upon arresting a man upon Christmas day going to Church in the Church-yard He who made the arrest may be censured in the Stat-chamber for such an Offence Quod nota It was also said by Richardson If a man submit himself out of the Diocess to any Sute that he can never have a Prohibition Because that the Sute was not according to the Statute 23 H. 8. commenced within the proper Diocess as it was adjudged Quod nota Manser against Lewes MAnser brought debt against Lewes the Bishop of Banger and had Iudgement and a fieri fac upon that to the Sheriff of Middlesex who returns That he was Clericus benefaciatus habens nullum Laicum feodum And Hitcham Sergeant to the King moved for direction of the Court what Process ought to issue or may have a Writ to the Metropolitan to make sequestration as it is 21 H. 6. 16 17. 34 H. 6. 29. Richardson said If you can satisfie us That the Sequestration ought to be against the Bishop as against a Clerk Then the Metropolitan shall do execution Hutton said A Bishop had Temporalties and for that the Sheriff ought not to return nollum habet Laicum feodum Richardson demanded whether the Statute of Westm the second which gives Elegit extends to the Temporalties of a Bishop Hutton not Harvey and Crook said That he ought to have first a Testatum est and then we may dispute of that But Hitcham doubted whether a Testatum est may issue to Wales Richardson an Elegit may issue and why not then a Testatum est And they in the Kings Bench grant it without doubt Stevens against the Bishop of Lincoln c. STevens and Crosse were Plaintiffs against the Bishop of Lincoln Holms Incumbent and Holsworth Defendents in a Quare impedit And the issue was where the Prochein avoydance It was given in evidence that a Feme was seized for life of the Advowson And he in reversion in Fee being an Infant grants the prochein avoydance And after when he in the remainder came to full age He reciting that grant concessit confirmavit praedictam advocationem habendam quando contigerit vacare And afterwards the Wife dies and the Church happens to be void And it was said by Davenport That that is not a new Grant but only a confirmation Crook Coo. lib. 6.14 Treports case Tenent for life and he in remainder makes a Lease if the Tenant for life dye the Declaration should be that he in the remainder made the Lease And so also by all

Rassel of 3 Closes for 20 years if he should so long live Henry Hassel dies and debt is brought against his Executor for rent reserved upon that Lease who pleads that before the day of payment he assigned two of the Closes to a Stranger And upon demurrer Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff For if there had been an assignment of Henry If he did not give notice to the Lessor in acceptance of the rent he shall be charged Quod nota Iudgement in Debt IF Iudgement be given in debt and a Scire facias brought against the Executor who pleads ne unque Executor ne unque Administrator c. And it was found against him yet it was agreed by the Court that the Execution shall be de bonis Testatoris tantum For that that the Execution shall have relation to the Iudgement And the Scire facias is to make known that they had not Execution upon the first Iudgment which extends to the goods only of the Testator And so it was said by Moyle Prothonotary that it was rul'd in 5 lac in this Court If a Iudgement be given in Debt and the mony is paid to the Attorney of the Plaintiff Although that the mony miscarry with the Attorny yet the payment is good But if a Scrivener is imployed generally to put mony to use for a year and the mony is paid to the Scribener who breaks or does not pay the mony The payment does not excuse the party But if he receives it by special Command c. that is a good cause of Equity In Avowry IN an Avowry for Dammages feasant the verdict is found for the Avowant And a Returno habend granted for the Cattell and a Capias ad satisfaciendum for the Costs and Dammages are payed The Sheriff cannot execute the Returno habendo But if it be executed and Costs afterwards paid upon the Returno habendo A Writ De si constare poterit shall issue to the Sheriff for delivering the Cattel upon a surmise and payment of the costs c. A Prohibition DAvenport moved for a Prohibition for that that an Executor who resided within the Tower which is a peculiar Iurisdiction as it was surmised was sued in the Prerogative Court
the evidence of the party or by others by his procurement in the same manner As it was in an appeal upon a fresh sute at the Common-law It was said by all That although the custome was of Burgage lands in soccage Yet if the Lands came by gift or otherwise to tenure in Chief or service of Chivalry That that now changes not the Custome which alwaies goes with the Land and not with the tenure As the Lands in Gavelkind by the Custome are soccage tenure Yet if they are changed to service of Chivalry the Custome is not altered But that all the heirs shall inherit It was agreed by all That if sir persons compass and imagine to levy war against the King And there is an agreement betwéen them that two shall do such an act in such a Country and the other two another act in such a County And so divers acts by divers in several Counties for to assemble the people against the King And after two do the Act according to their purpose and assemble the people and the other do nothing Yet the Act done by two upon the agreement is Treason in all But otherwise it is if there had been only a compassing c. and not any agreement and afterwards one of them does the act unknowing to the others there it is not Treason but in those that doe the fact and not in the others As it happened in the Case betwéen the King and an other Wilkins against Thomas IT was adjudged upon good advise That if an Infant he impleaded by any precipe of his Lands And loses by defending Now he shall have a Writ of Error And because that he was within age at the time of the Iudgement it shall be reversed And the Infant shall be restored to all that he lost As it happened in the Case of John Ware against Anderson and others in the County of York lost while they were infra aetatem Where it appeared that they appeared by their Guardian admitted to them by the Court to the Grand cape and that they were within age But there was an inspection by Nurses and Friends and they were found not to be within age John Symons against Thomas Symons NOte it was said by all the Iustices That if the Disseisee enter upon the Feoffee or Lessee of the Disseisor That he shall not have an Action of the Trespass for the same Trespass against the Feoffee or Lessee Because that they come in by a Title And at Common law before the Statute of Gloc. No dammages for mean occupation against the Feoffee or Lessee Bromleys Case IF a man steal goods and be arraigned upon an Indictment of felony and the goods are valued to 6 s. and the Iury upon their verdict say That he is guilty of the said goods but that the value was but 6 d. That is a good verdict And the Iustices shall vanish him as for patty Larcenny In the same manner it is If a man be arraigned for willfull murther and the Iury find it but Manslaughter That is a good verdict by all the Iustices Pease against Thompson A Man seised of Lands in see makes a feoffment from that day to divers to the use of his Wife for her life and after to the use of the heirs of the body of the Feoffor The Feme dies and the Feoffor makes a Lease for years and dies Now her Issue shall not avoid that Lease because a man cannot have Heirs in his life So that at the time of the death of the Feme there was none to take by the remainder And for that the Feoffor had the fee the Lease is good and shall bind the Heir As if a Lease be made for life the Remainder to the right Heirs of I. S. and I. S. dies in the life of the Lessee then the remainder is good otherwise not but it shall revert But otherwise it shall be peradventure in such a Case in a demise Hillary 3 Car. Com. Banc. Skore against Randall SKore brought Debt against Randall and recovered and had execution by Elegit and it was found by the Inquisition that the Defendant was seised of the moyety of a Messuage and Lands for life and other Lands in right of his Wife And the Sheriff returns that virtute brevis et deliberat feci meditatem omnium praemissorum cum pertinentiis c. Nec non duo pomaria nec non unum clausum vocat c. And that he had delivered the moyety of the Lands in right of his Wife and his Chattells and recites them and that Elegit was filed And the Question was whether he might have a new Elegit Because that the Sheriff ought to have delivered to him the moyety of the moyetic of the Lands held in Ioint-tenancy So that the Tenent by Elegit might be Tenant in Common for a fourth part with the Ioynt tenants as it was agreed But also by that Delivery he had but in effect the eighth part For the other Ioynt-tenants may occupy the Land delivered with him in Common Richardson said For part of the Lands and goods in right of his Wife the return is good And being filed he cannot have a new Election For if part shall be evicted you cannot have a new Extent upon the Estate But if it had been in the Genitive Case Duorum pomorariorum c. it had been good But it was granted by the Court That the Plaintiff makes a surmise that the Sheriff male se gessit in the Execution of that Elegit and then he may have a new Elegit at his peril c. Edward Thomas against John Morgan et al. EDward Thomas brought an Ejectione firmae against Morgan Kemmis and others and upon Not guilty pleaded a speciall Verdict was given to this effect for Morgan and Kemmis for the other some were dead before issue and the other not guilty and they found a Iudgement dated 12 Sept. 23 Eliz. and deliver'd the 15 Iunii next ensuing Which was between the then Bishop of St. Davids of the one part and Richard Thomas of the other part And it was in consideration of a Marriage to be had between him and the Daughter of the Bishop That before the end of Hillary Term next ensuing he would levy a Fine of all those Lands and all the other lands in Mountmouth and that should be to Thomas Morgan and Roger Sise of Lincoln-Inne And that he suffered a recovery with double voucher to the uses in the Indenture But the words are that the Conusees should stand seised to the use And by Atthowe the Recovery is idle for the uses shall be executed and then there shall be no Tenant to the Precipe viz. That of all the Lands mentioned in the Indenture Morgain and Sise shall stand seised to the only uses hereafter c. that is to say They shall be seised of in part of the Lands and Tenements that is so much thereof as shall amount to the clear value of

In the Case of a Sheriff there Wroth against Harvey DOwer was brought against an Infant and upon default Iudgment was given against the Infant and there was something assigned for error but notwithstanding Iudgement was affirmed as to that But afterwards an other errour was assigned in the record For that that the entry is obtulit se per Clerk atturnatum suum and names him not And so was the Case where such an one by Higgius atturnatum suum obtulit se And for that cause naught And Dyer 93.

In a quare impedit for the King of the Chauntry of St. Tho. and alleges a presentation The Defendant says that there is a Chapel of St. Thomas in the same Village and that the Defendant and all his Ancestors have béen Patrons of the same Church It was held no plea for there is no answer to the title made by the King For it shall be intended of another Chapel But here because that he said virtute cujus he cut the aforesaid banks of the rivulet aforesaid in quo transgressio praedict fieri supponitur A sufficient answer was made to the same place so ruled by the opinion of all the Iustices But it was objected that this barre was not good upon the matter For although he might let it out yet he ought not to drown any ground But because that the fault was in the banks of old Charwell He is not punishable for that lawfull Act which he had done Otherwise if he had not prescription 6 E. 4 6. If I have a pond I cannot so let it out that it shall surround the ground of my neighbour Another exception was taken for not pursuing the prescription For he does not shew that the place where the cutting was alleged was between them two mills whereof he makes mention Yet adjudged contra querentem And afterwards this judgement was reversed by errour because he had made his prescription local and that ought to be pursued But for the overflowing after the letting out It was by all held that it is not punishable Ienkins's Case THomas Ienkins as heir to Iohn Ienkins brought errour upon a Iudgement given upon an indictment upon the Statute of 1 Eliz. of Recusancy and assigns this error For that the Indictment was contra formam Statut. edit 23 Ian. 1 Eliz.

Other matter was alleged for that that the Statute is that it shall be taken before Iustices of the Peace or Gaol delivery The Indictment was before the one and the conviction before another But that was thought a small matter And it was beld by the Iustices that the heir might have a writ of Error upon such a Iudgement As upon execution of a Statute after the death of his father It was objected that he brought error as heir but does not shew how he is heir But nothing is answered to that Keene against Cox IN an action upon the case brought by Keene for saying He is falsly forsworn before the Iustices of Assize between A. and B.

IN Debt the demand was of 19 l. 17 s. and declares upon five several contracts and shews the certainty upon every of them which being cast up amounted to 20 s. more than was demanded And because that he does not shew how he was satisfied of the remnant It was held quod nihil cap.

And a Condition that a Lease for 3 years shall be void if the Lessor dye during the term is a good Condition Without doubt the custome is as old as the Estate then it is as good to abridge the Estate as to the other to create it is It is reasonable too For the Lord should have his Tenant in possession by which he may the better pay his Fine But if the Lease be made by Licence of the Lord It is a Confirmation For that if the Copiholder makes a Lease for years with Licence and dies without Heir The Lord shall not avoid the Lease In some place the custome is If a Copiholder dies before Candlemas the Executor shall have it for that year to remove and dispose the Copiholders Estate Custome in this Case you see tolls the Heir And he agreed the Case and difference cited by Atthowe out of Cook Littleton Harvey agreed That it is a good custome for the Lord and for the Tenant For the Lord to know his Tenant and for the Tenant to have the Estate and pay the Fine Yelverton agreed also the Lease for a year is in it self made by custom And the same custome may confound it For there is a concurrence of others or one may controll another 21 H. 7. 14 H. 8. A Lease for years provided the Lessor may enter at his will that is a good lease determinable at will being uno flatu so So in our Case But it is done that a Copiholder within the year surrenders his Copihold that the Lease shall be void That is an unreasonable custome In the Kings Bench It was adjudged A Copiholder makes a Lease for years by Licence and the custome if the Lessee was not in possession at the time of the death of the Lessor that it shall be void Lessee assigns that over and the Assignee holds it For custome ought to be taken strictly And he agreed the Case put by Hutton of an Executor And the difference that against the Lessor it should not determine And the reason put before And so judgement was given for the Plaintiff Stone against Walsingham before THe case was again moved in Court which was that they agreed de anno in annum so long as the one should be Parson and the other Parishioner si ambobus partibus tam diu placuerit he should retain his tithes for 6 s. 8 d. per annum And Richardson Iustice said and it was not denied that the suggestion is naught for the incertainty of it and a Prohibition cannot be granted upon that For the words de anno in an make an estate for a year And the next words make an estate for life the last but an estate at will what shall be traversed here It is seen that for years it is good without Deed but not for life And if it be but at will when the other demands his tithes the Will is determined But at an other day the suggestion was made That he made severall agreements with his Parishioner that he pay 6 s. 8 d. for his tithes for 4 years And then a Prohibition was granted Harvey sufficit If an agreement be proved for those 4 years Wilson against Peck WIlson brought an action upon the Case against Peck and declares A Man may justifie in maintenance that he was a Sollicitor That the Defendant in consideration that the Plaintiff should be his sollicitor in several sutes depending against him in this Court affirmed that he would give to him for his pains as much as he deserved And he said that he deserved five marks And upon an Assumpsit pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff And it was moved in arrest of Iudgement that the consideration was against Law because that it was maintenance But Henden on the contrary And that it was lawfull to have a sollicitor 5 H. 7. 20. There it is said that a man may justifie in maintenance that he was a sollicitor And the fees of an Officer 3 Iac. cap. 7. gives satisfaction in that case It was said that a sollicitor is not a man known at the common law but an Attourney and had his fees set out by the Law 9 Eliz. Dyer Onelyes case But Munson and Manwood held that it was maintenance in a sollicitor to prosecute and pay money for another And Dyer did not oppose that opinion Pas 13 Iac. Rot. 75. Com. Banc. Solomon Leeches case An Atturney of this Court brought an action upon the case for solliciting of sutes And there it was conceived that it was an ill consideration and could never have judgement But Richardson said that in Solomon Leeches case he brought an action for the money disbursed and not only for as much as he deserved for his labour And said that a Sollicitor is a person known in the Law 1 H. 7. And it was one Snowdens case One brought an action against him And he justified that such an one made a title to his Clyents land and that he was his Sollicitor in the suit And ruled to be a good Iustification By which it appears that a Sollicitor is a person known in the Law And the Stat. 3 Iac. much prevails with him for to be of that opinion And it would be a miserable case if you would allow no Sollicitors but Attourneys in the Star-chamber Chancery For there the Attournies will not move out of their Chambers And also it is convenient that Attournies of this Court follow businesses in the Kings Bench And the case was in consideration that he would be my servant and follow my sutes I promise him as much as he deserved An action will clearly lie here and a Sollicitor will not alter the Case For he is not but a servant Hutton on the contrary I may retain a man in my service he may follow my sutes but then he ought to maintain the action upon the Statute For a Sollicitor is within the Statute and a Sollicitor of sutes is one kind of maintenance and we ought not to allow it And so it was taken in Leeches case That there was no remedy for a Sollicitor if he had not an obligation And he said that in the Star-chamber in the time of Egerton a Sollicitor was punish'd there Yelverton agreed with him Harvey said that the same case is now depending in the Kings Bench. And the opinion is that an Attourney or a Counsellor who had a profession towards the Law might sollicite any sute in any Court and it is not maintenance But another person not Yelvert agreed to that but said that he ought to shew in his Declaration that he is an Attourney And afterwards the parties agreed c. Scire facias against the Bayle IF a Scire facias be brought against the bayle and Iudgement be Debt be brought against the bayl that the Plaintiff be satisfied out of the lands and chattels of the bayle and so a capias does not not lie against them But if debt be brought as

Banc. that is a good Grant and charges the Heir although it first commenced upon him Yelverton said he charges himself And the Grant is for him and his heirs And warranty which is so granted to commence 40 years after although the Father dye before the commencement of it yet it binds the Heir And so it is of an Obligation to be paid 40 years after Quod concessum fuit Beckrows Case IN one Beckrows Case in evidence to the Iury c. Beckrows intending to a mary a Widdow makes a conveyance by Deed of Feoffment of his Land to several uses by which he setled his Land upon the issue of the Feme having issue by a former wife But after the mariage he by much importunity procured the Déed of conveyance into his hands out of the custody of the Wife and also an Obligation which makes mention of it and it was for performance of Covenants and then he cancelled the Deed and the Obligation and took off the seal from them And afterwards settles his Land upon his former Children and dies having Issue by his last wife And in actions under these conveyances It was permitted by the Court that the cancelled Deed should be read in evidence But first there should be Testimony given of the truth of that practice before it should be read c. A Copiholders Case IT was said by Richardson to Harvey privately That there is almost no Copyhold in England but the Fine in truth is uncertain For if the Rolls make it appear that some time a lesser and sometime a greater sum had been paid for a Fine that is an uncertain Fine And he said that he was of Councel in a Case where the Iury found that the Fine was certain And afterwards by Bill in Chancery It was decreed upon search of the Rolls to be a Fine incertain And that is now the ordinary course scil by decree in Chancery Francis Bill against Sir Arthur Lake FRancis Bill was Plaintiff in an Assumpsit against Sir Arthur Lake who assumed to the Plaintiff that in consideration that he would make for his wife certain apparel and prepare stuff and lace for it That he would pay for the stuff and making as much as should be required And he shews that he provided Sattin and Gold-lace and made the Apparel and shews of what value the Stuff was and what he deserved for his labour which amounted to the value of 39 l. and that he required the Defendant such a day to pay him which was within six years before the action brought but the promise was laid to be 7 years before The Defendant pleads the Statute of Limitations and that the Plaintiff did not bring his Action within the six years after the promise made nor within the 3 years after the Parliament ended But he does not shew when it ended Vpon which there was a Demurrer And by the Court the ending of the Parliament néeds not to be shewn here For the Question is not upon the 3 years after the ending of the Parliament but upon the matter in Law whether an Action ought to be brought within six years after the promise or after the request Richardson said That it ought to be within six years after the promise Here are two causes of Action for the words of the Statute are within six yenrs afcer the cause of Action the promise and the request and the promise is the principal Trin. 5 Car. Com. Banc. and the Action took its denomination from that scil an action of the Case upon an Assumpsit And if there be a demand which is the case of Action Here it will be answered the promise for a Request without promise is no cause of Action And the mischief that the Statute intended to remedy was that a man was should not be put to the proof of the matter de facto so long time after And if the request is said to be the cause of Action the promise may be laid 20 years before and although that may be proved But the other 3 Iustices were against him and said That the intention of the Statute is within 6 years after the cause of the Sute given which is not untill after request As if one promised to another so much when he should mary his Daughter The 6 years there shall be after the mariage Or if one promise such a sum to one at his return from Rome or such a place from whence it is not impossible to return within six years The payment shall be after the return and there is not a cause of Action before and also the promise and the Request are intire For the request is part of the promise and the promise is not intire untill the request They agréed if a man makes a request and suffer the 6th year to pass before an action brought and then makes a new request And this Case was more strong because the consideration was future Heidley said there was a difference where the request is necessary and where it is alleged but for form As if I sell a Horse for 10 l. generally and after the 6 years brought an Action upon the Case upon an Assumpsit against the Vendee and shews in his Declaration that he was to be paid when he would require it licet saepius requisit c. within the six years Here the Plaintiff is barred For it was due by the contract and the request is but formal If a man brings an Action within the 6 years and afterwards is non-suted for want of request shewen where it was necessary and makes a new request after the 6 years and brings his Action It is good Which was granted by the Court. And in this Case the Court taxed Henden for advising the Defendant to plead the Statute and hazard it upon Demurrer When he might have tryed first the matter in fact But Henden said it was dangerous not to plead the Statute For the opinion of the Kings Bench and Exchequer seemed to be that it ought to be pleaded By the Court when it is apparent within the Record that the Action is brought after the 6 years certainly they doubted not but the Statute ought to be shewn in arrest of Iudgement But the doubt is when a general issue is pleaded in an Assumpsit or Trespass and it does not appear in the Trespass or Assumpsit that it was above the six years the Statute now may be given evidence Trin. 5 Car. Com. Banc. Starkey against Taylor STarkey an Attorny of the Common Bench brought an Action against Taylor for slanderous words and declares that he being an Attorney of the Common Bench of honest fame c. and that he gained much by that profession which was his Livelihood the Defendant maliciously and to hinder him in his profession spoke these words of him Thou art a Common Barrettor thou art a Iudas and a Promoter and a Destroyer and a Viper and a Villain and
them the word Iudas is material here for loquendum ut vulgus If he had said you have plaid the Iudas with your Clyent without doubt is actionable Which Richardson also agreed and said if one says of an Attorney that hes a false Attorney an action lies Sed adjournatur Hawes's Case IN Dower the Defendant pleads ne unque seise que dower It was found by the Iury that the Husband was seised and died seised and assess dammages to the Plaintiff generally And it was moved in arrest of Iudgment because that the Iurors did not enquire of the value of the land and then ultra valorem terrae tax dammages as much as is the usual course as the Prothonatories informed the Court. For the Statute of Merton gives dammages to the Wife scil valorem terrae And the Statute of Glouc. cap. 1. gives costs of sute But by the Court Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff although the dammages are given generally and certainly intended for the value of the Land And there might be in the Case a Writ of Error Hil. 5.

Simcocks against Hussey SImcocks brought waste against Hussey for cutting 120 Oakes and the Iury upon nul wast pleaded found him guilty of cutting 20 in such a field and so sparsim in other fields which was returned upon the Postea but nothing said of the other 20. where in truth the Iury found him not guilty of them but the Clark of Assizes took no notice of that By the Court If the Clark had taken notice there might have been an amendment by them But here they gave direction to attend the Iudge of Assize to examine the truth of it And if they could procure the Clarks to certifie the residue they would beleeve it Dower DOwer was brought for the moiety of 45 acres of land and for part non tenure was pleaded which was found for the Plaintiff and for other part Ioyntenancy which was after imparlance Whereupon the Plaintiff demurred and Bramston prayed Iudgement and answered farther for that that it was after imparlance and cited one Doctor Waterhouses case in Dower where it was adjudged that non-tenure after imparlance was not a plea And by the same reason shall not joyntenancy be 32 H. 6. 29. And by the Court it was adjudged quod respondeat ouster But otherwise it would have been if there had been a special imparlance tam ad breve quam ad narrationem And it was prayed to have Iudgement upon the verdict And by the Court it was said that they should have Iudgement And that there might be two Iudgements in this action for the several parts of the land Sir Francis Worthly against Sir Thomas Savill HE brought an action against Sir Thomas Savill for batterie In which it was found for the Plaintiff in not guilty pleaded and 3100 l. damages was given Which verdict was last Term. And in this Term it was shewn to the Court that the Declaration entred upon the imparlance roll was without day moneth and year in which the battery was committed Which was observed by the Atturneys and Counsel of the other part and that a blank was left for it But afterwards in the time of this vacation in the night time the Key of the Treasury being privily obtained by a false message from Mr. Brownlow Prothonotary the record was amended and some things were interlined to make it agree with the Issue Roll which was perfect And these things were affirmed by severall affidavits Whereupon Atthowe moved that those parties privie to this practice might be punisht and that the record might be brought in Court and made in statu quo prius Crew on the other side demanded Iudgement for the Plaintiff for whether there is an imparlance Roll or no. If none then the matter is discontinued and that ayded by the Statute If you will have an Imparlance Roll then I think these omissions are amendable by the Clarkes although after verdict Harvey The Course of the Court is for I am not ashamed to declare that I was a Clark for 6 years in Brownlowes Office If the Declaration was with a blank and given to the Attourney of the other side if in the next term the Atturneys of both sides agrée upon the Issue Roll Vpon this agreement the Clark for the Plaintiff had always power to amend the Declaration Because that by the acceptance of the other side there was an assent Richardson The imparlance Roll is the original Roll and ground for the Issue Roll which is the Record of the Court And I agrée that it is reason to amend the nisi prius Roll. Harvey gave an excellent reason whereupon the Pregnotaries were demanded what was the course of the Court Brownlow Gulston and Moyle all agréed that the course is That an imparlance roll may be amended if no recorda●u● That if no recordatur or rule be to the contrary and a Declaration delivered with blanks the Clarks have always amended it And Brownlow shewed where the book of 4 E. 4. was objected to the contrary and he had séen the Record and there was a recordatur granted Richardson Debt is brought against one as heir and there is omitted ad quam quidem solutionem haeredes suas oblig shall that be amended And it was said by all the Pregnotaries it should And Moyle said that in 13 Iac. there was a case between Parker and Parker upon a trover and conversion and the Imparlance Roll was entred with a blank as here and upon non-guilty pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff and I fear it will be mended By the Court this difference will reconcile all the books scil where there is a recordatur and where not It was agreed by some one of the Iudges that a recordatur might be granted out of the Court. And so Brownlow cited a president Pas 4 E. 4. rot 94. to the same purpose And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Starkeys Case before IVdge Yelverton now being in Court the Counsel of the Plaintiff prayed his opinion and shewed the reasons given before to have Iudgement And Yelverton said that the word Iudas here did not bear an action It was two of the Apostles names and the betrayer Iudas was a Traytor to Heaven and therefore this reason should not be drawn to earth to cause Actions between men But for the word common Barrettor being spoken of a common person is not actionable until conviction he is not punishable for it If he called him convicted Barrettor Convicted Barrettor to a common person is actionable it is actionable But being spoken of an Atturney or an Officer of Iustice it is actionable Littleton tells us what they are they are meant stirrers up of unjust sutes which is a grand offence in an Atturney And they put the case of Sir Miles Fleetwood One called him the Kings Deceiver which was adjudged actionable and that it ought to be understood of his Office And for that in
both If a man hinder the Sheriff to make execution and assault him will not a Rescous lye in such a Case Richardson Hutton and Henden that it will not That no Rescous can be upon a Fieri facias but the party shall have an Action upon the Case And Rescous lies only upon a Capias which lies against the Person himself Iohnsons Case IF a Prohibition be granted upon matter at Common law as upon a personal agreement between Parson and Parishioner for his Tithes and not upon matter within the Statute of 2 E. 6. 13. the suggestion shall not be proved within the 6 months as the Statute limites and as it is agreed by the whole Court Termino Mich. 5 Car. Com. Banc. Common Recovery A Common Recovery was suffered and a writ of Entry was not filed and for that a writ of Error was brought And Hitcham moved that it might be examined whether any writ was filed or no. But the Court denyed that But if it might appear upon Record That there was a writ filed Mich. 5 Car. Com. Banc. then they would consider whether a new one should be filed or or not And they said that the Recovery should be exemplified by the Statute of 23. Knight against Symonds THe Plaintiff being cast put this exception in to avoid costs that the Venue was mis-writen and it was allowed by the Court. And because the Defendant might have Iudgement for that he cannot have costs And Richardson said that in the Kings Bench one Grimston brought an Action upon the Case against one Hostler and it was found against him and the Plaintiff alleged that the Declaration was not sufficient for the prevention of costs and allowed But if the Plaintiff be non-sute he shall not have benefit of the Exception to prevent costs by reason of the unjust vexation Harris against Lea. HArris Warden of the Fleet is Plaintiff against Iohn Lea in Debt upon an Obligation where the Condition was That one Lea should be his true Prisoner and pay every month for his diet and the fees due to the Plaintiff by reason of his Office The Defendant pleads the Statute of 23 H. 8. and that this Obligation was made for the ease and favour of the prisoner by colour of his office And the Plaintiff replyed that the Fleet is an antient Prison and that time out of mind c. they used to take such Obligations absque hoc that this Obligation was made for the ease and favour contrary to the Statute That the Warden of the Fleet and Westm never may take Obligations for Dyer c. upon which the Defendant demurred generally But Atthowe prayed Iudgement for that that the traverse waives the matter before which was but an inducement and in 23 H. 6. There is an Exception of the Warden of the Fleet and the Warden of the Palace of Westminster That they might take such Obligations which they used to which the Court agreed And for that that the Traverse ever destroys the Bar the Defendant ought to have joyned in that upon which Iudement was given for the Plaintiff If c. Wardens Case Ej●ctments not he of a Mannor IT was said by the Court Although an Eject firm lies of a Mannor or of the moyety of a Mannor if Attournment of the Tenants may be proved yet it is not safe to bring an Ejectione firmae of a Mannor c. Hides Case IN one Hides Case the Defendant was out-lawed before Iudgement and procures a Charter of pardon and the Question was whether he should put in bayl And it was agreed by the Court that he should put in bayl For although the Statute of 5 E. 3. cap. 12. goes only to a Charter of pardon not to the reversal Yet by the Equity of that Statute he must put in bayl for it is that he stand right in Court which is that he appear and put in bayl And although the use of the Court hath been otherwise yet perhaps in some Cases the Plaintiff never required bayl New Entries title Pardon pl. 1. So if an Out-lawry be reversed by 31 Eliz. for want of Proclamation The Defendant puts in bayl at the Common law Manucaptors were only fined for the Defendants default But now the use is for the bayl to enter into a Recognisance c. And if at Common law upon a scire fac he revive the sute he shall find Manucaptors by the same reason he now found bayl Wood and Carverner against Symons THe Defendant here in the Prohibition libels for tithes of Hay in the Spiritual Court Intrat Hil. 3 Car. Pas 4. Car. rot 454. The Plaintiff suggests that the Hay was growing upon Greenskips Deales and Headlands and that within the same Parish there is a Custom that Parishioners in a meadow there used to make the tithe Hay for the Parson and in Consideration of that to be discharged of all tithes of Hay growing ut supra and also that for the Hay of the land no tithe ought to be paid of such Hay but does not aver that the Hay was growing upon Greenskips c. And an exception was taken by Henden First That the exception is double The Custom and Common law But by Yelverton that is not material For you may have 20 suggestions to maintain the suggestion of the Court But Richardson was against that that a suggestion might be double here for the suggestion of the Common law is a surplusage As in Farmer and Norwiches Case here lately One prescribes to be discharged of tithes where the law discharged him and so was discharged by the Common law Second exception is that he does not apply the Custom to himself in the suggestion For he does not shew that the Hay grew upon the skips upon which a Plow might turn it self That had laid the Custom And for this cause by the whole Court the suggestion is naught And here Richardson moved how that two should joyn in a Prohibition Yelverton if they are joined in the libel they may joyn in the prohibition and that is the common practice of the Kings Bench. Richardson the wrong to one by the sute in the Spiritual Court cannot be a wrong to the other Hutton they may joyn in the writ but they ought to sever in the Declaration to which Harvey agreed Yelverton the Prohibition is the sute of the King and he joyn tan● as in a writ Richardson But it is as the sute of the party is and if any joyn here I think good cause of consultation Richardson It is against the profit of the Court to suffer many to joyn And it is usual in the case of Customs of a Parish in debate to order procéedings in the 2 Prohibitions and that to bind all the Parish and Parson And it was said by them all That the consideration of making Hay is a good discharge because it is more than they are bound to do Rises Case IN evidence to the Iury it was
But by the Court it is after verdict For the Original for part cannot be applyed to this Declaration and it shall not be taken as the Original for it And then there is no Original which is aided by the Statute and so it had been frequently ruled By Harvey it was one Blackwells Case here where the Writ was bona catalla cepit and the Declaration was viz. unicum discum plumbi And that was ruled to be no Original The Wife of Cloborn against her Husband THe Wife complains against her Husband in the Spiritual Court Causa saevitiae For that he gave her a box on the ear and spat in her face and whirled her about and called her damned whore Which was not by Libel but by verbal accusation after reduced to writing The Husband denies it the Court ordered the Husband to give to his Wife 4 l. every week pro expensis litis and Alimony Barkley and Henden moved for a Prohibition The Sute is originally Causa saevitiae and as a Case that they assesse Alimony And now for a ground of a Prohibition It was said that Cloborn chastised his wife for a reasonable Cause by the Law of the Land as he might which they denyed and said that they had Iurisdiction in these matters de saevitia c. And afterwards that the wife departed and that they were reconciled again And then that reconciliation took away that saevitia before as reconciliation after elopement Richardson It was said here that the Sute was now held and without Libel but that is no ground of a Prohibition for he proceeded upon that matter reduced in Articles and we cannot grant a Prohibition if they proceed to their form For we are not Iudges of their form But if they will deny a Copy of the libell a Prohibition lies by the Statute And you you 'l say that an Husband may give reasonable chastisement to his Wife and we have nothing to do with it But only that the Husband may be bound to his good behaviour by the Common law And the sentence in causa saevitiae is a mensa thoro and we cannot examine what is Cruelty and what not And certainly the matter alleged is Cruelty For spitting in the face is punishable by the Star-chamber But if Mr. Cloborn had pleaded a Iustification and set forth a Provocation to him by the wife to give her reasonable castigation Then there would be some colour of a Prohibition Henden We have made such an Obligation as it is absolutely refused Hutton Perhaps he is in contempc and then they will not admit any Plea As if one be out-lawed at Common law be cannot bring an Action But the Plaintiff they advised to tender a Iustification and if they refused it then to move for a Prohibition Bachus and Hiltons Case HUtton cited one Bachus and Hiltons Case in the Kings Bench Where a Bill was of Lands 17 Maii and the Declaration 20 Mail which was after and so the Original before the trespass and after verdict Because it was mistaken Iudgement was stayed Mortimores Case AMhurst desired the opinion of the Court in this Case Copiholder is ousted and so the Lord disseised and the Copiholder releases all his right to the Disseisor and dies his Heir enters and brings trespass against the Disseisor who pleads his Franktenement And by the Court the Release is clearly void the Disseisor never being admitted Copiholder But they ought not to teach him how to plead And Hitcham cited a Case in which he was of Councel Two Copiholders in fee the one release to the other by Deed. And that was adjudged a good Release which was now also agreed by the Court. Earl of Mulgrave Ratcliffes Case Intratur Exchequer Chamber 18 Iac. Rot.

Roger Ratcliff upon the whole matter sued his Monstrare de droit in the Exchequer and had Iudgement for him and Writ of Error being brought by the Lord Sheffield to reverse the Iudgement formerly given in the Case Points 2. First whether Francis Bigod who had Estate in special tayl in possession had also any right in the antient entayl left in him at the time of his Attainder or whether it were not in abeiance in respect of the Feoffment made 21 H. 8. and whether that right did accew unto the King by the Attainder of Francis and the general Statute of 26 H. 8. cap. 13. or by the particular act of Attainder of 31 H. 8. and I am of opinion that there was a right of the old entayl remaining in him and that the King ought to have it together with that estate in special entayl in possession freed and discharged thereof as long as the Estate entayl endured In the handling of this point I shall occasionally speak of rights of Actions real given or not given to the King upon Attainder of Treason by force of Statute 26 of H. 8. or of the general Statute of 33 H. 8. for this Statute is so near of kin to that conservation of antient Rights that we must foresee that we do not in the Iudgement of this Cause prejudice the Statute ex aliqua Secondly Whether there be a Remitter in the Case after Attainder of Treason and if there be such a Remitter here when the Remitter begins and in whom whereas nothing hath as yet been distinctly said I am of opinion that there
contained in the Declaration That the Defendants were guilty before scil October Vpon which the Defendants demurre and Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Although it was objected that the Iustification here by the Custom before had taken away the property And I shall be debarred in Detinue and so in Trover But the Court was of the contrary opinion That the Defendants Plea in barre here shall not be good without traverse as it is and therefore the time is not made material but any time before is sufficient Méer possession sufficeth to maintain a Trover Pasc 7. Car. Com. Banc. Eaglechildes Case FInch Sergeant said that 6 Car. in the Kings Bench it was ruled upon Bill of Exchange betwéen party and party who are not Merchants There cannot be a Declaration upon the Law of Merchants but there may be a Declaration upon the Assumpsit and give the acceptance of the Bill in Evidence Crompton against Waterford WAterford was sued in the Spiritual Court for saying these words of the Plaintiff she will turn tayl to tayl with any man intimating that she would be naught with any man And sentence was given for the Plaintiff Whereupon he appealed to the Delegates propter gravamen And the Delegates overruled it and assesse costs for the wrong appeal Then there was a prohibition granted because the words were idle words and not punishable in the Spiritual Court Hutton seemed That the costs taxed by the Delegates are not taken away by the Prohibition Richardson on the contrary For the principal is prohibited and the costs are incident And because that a prohibition stays all proceedings the costs are taken away If the costs are to be executed by the Delegates then the prohibition to them will help But if the costs are remanded to the inferiour Court as well as the cause then the prohibition to the Inferiour Court will help So quacunque via data the costs are to be discharged And the party if excommunicat be dissolved And so agreed by the Court. Alleston against Moor. ALleston an Attourney of this Court brought an action upon the Case against Moore for calling him cheating knave and it was not upon speaking of him as an Attourney And for that by the Court in arrest of judgement It is not actionable If he had said you cheat your Clients it would be actionable One said That my Lord Chief Baron cannot hear of one ear colloquio praehabito of his administration of Iustice And it wad adjudged actionable Otherwise it had been if they had had no discourse of his Iustice Trin. 7 Car. Com. Banc. Coxhead against Coxhead IN Debt upon an Obligation the Condition was to perform an Arbitrament and the Defendant pleads nullum fecere arbitrium The Plaintiff replies that they made such an arbitrament and recites it the Defendant rejoyns that the Condition was to make an arbitrament of all things in controversie and that other things were in controversie whereof no arbitrament was made The Plaintiff sur-rejoynes that the Defendant did not give notice of those upon which issue was taken and no place alleged where notice was given And that exception was moved in arrest of Iudgement And upon that Iudgement was stayed Trin. 7. Car. Com. Banc. NOte It was said by Richardson Chief Iustice If a man sends his servant to a Draper to buy cloath for his Master and makes not the contract in his own name That the Master shall be charged and not the Servant Which was not denied 11 E. 4.6 Tomlinsons Case IF an Executor is sued in the Ecclesiastical Court for a Legacy and the Executor pleads plene administravit a Prohibition shall not be granted if they will not admit that plea. For they ought to judge there if he had administred fully or not But upon suggestion that they did not reject any administration which our law allows A prohibition shall not be granted as Richardson said which was not denied by the whole Court Williams against Floyd WIlliams was Plaintiff by an English Bill to the Council of Marches against Floyd in the nature of Debt upon an Escape and there was a Latin Declaration upon an Escape turned into English because that the Defendant being Sheriff of Canarvan suffered one against whom the Plaintiff had a Iudgement being taken by capias utlegat to escape To his damage of 40 l. And by the whole Court a prohibition was granted Although that by their Instructions they had power of personal actions under 50 l. For this is intended a meer personal action As debt detinue c. But Debt upon a Iudgement or debt upon an escape or upon the 2 E. 6. for not setting forth of tithes an action upon 8 H. 6. or any other action upon matter of Record or Statute In such cases they have not Iurisdiction And the Defendant there might have pleaded nul teil record and then he might have proceeded further But the misdemeanour here in permitting the party to escape might have been punished there by Information Gee against Egan GEe an Attorney of this Court brought an Action upon the Case against Egan and declares that he was an Attorney for many years late past and still is and that he had taken the Oath of an Attorney to do no fraud nor deceit in his Office as Attorney And that colloquio habito et moto inter one Rise Brother in Law to the Plaintiff and the Defendant concerning the Office of the Plaintiff as an Attorney and concerning a Bill of Costs and Expences by the Plaintiff in defence of a Cause prosecuted by one Treddiman in the Common Bench against the Defendant laid out and expended The Defendant 1 Augusti 4 Car. spoke those words to Rise Your Brother and Mr. Treddiman have cheated me of a great deal of mony c. by which the Plaintiff is in danger to lose his Office And it was moved after verdict for the Plaintiff in arrest of Iudgement by Ayliff Because that here is not any certainty in the Declaration that the words were spoken of the Plaintiff as Attorney And then they are not actionable For he does not shew at what time the speech was of him as Attorney Richardson upon reading of the Record said It was true that no time of the speech is shewen neither is it after the speech shewen upon whom he spoke those words Which might help it Neither is it said afterwards that is to say primo die but primo die Augusti he spoke c. And if it can be intended that those words were spoken of the Plaintiff as Attorney That would inforce the words to bear an Action But if such words are generally spoken of an Attourney without speech of his Office they are not actionable For he may be a Cheater at dice or in a bagain c. And here non constat that the words were spoken of the Plaintiff as Attourney Secondly it does not appear that the Plaintiff was was an Attorney in the Cause but says
put off till the next day by nine in the morning Collins against Thoroughgood AN action of Covenant was brought against the Executor and the breach assigned for default of reparation committed in the time of the Executor and damages were assessed And the question was moved by Atthow whether the Iudgement shall be de bonis propriis or de bonis Testatoris And upon view of presidents it was adjudged that it shall be de bonis Testatoris For this is the Testators Covenant and obliges the Executor as representing him And therefore he ought to be sued by that name Waters against Thomson IN an action of slander for calling him Bankrupt Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff And it was afterwards moved in arrest of Iudgement Because that in the Declaration it is said that he was a seller of Wool And Serjeant Ward said because he did not allege that he was a Merchant that it would not hold But the Court over-ruled him Tomkin's Case A Man cannot plead a former Iudgement had against the Plaintiff in an action brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant But Outlawry he may Which was not denyed Baker against Webberly THat if a mans Dog runs at the Sheep and kills them not with his consent there will no action lie But otherwise if with his consent Recovereis suffer per gardens of the lands of the Infant MEmorandum That the 26 Decemb. 21 Iac. that letters under the privy signet and sign Mannual came unto the Iudges of the Com-Pleas importing that the King had been humbly petitioned by Mountioy Blunt being under the age of 21 yoars as well by himself as his kinred and Feoffees into whose custody the late deceased Earl of Devonshire did commit his estate in trust that he would declare unto us his liking that he might be permitted to suffer a Common recovery of the Mannor of Wansled for payment of his debts and further advancement of his means to the use of the Duke of Buckingham which his Majestie by his said Letter did accordingly Now although the Iudges did never hold such Recoveries unlawfull or void in Law yet divers motions in the like kind have been refused as holding it very inconvenient But inconveniencies are best discerned by circumstances and therfore my L.

Chamberlines Case HE brought an Action upon the Statute of Hue and Cry and after Issue joyned and entred The Record was that the Robbery was done 30 Octob. It was ordered by the Court of Common Pleas that the Record shall be amended and made the 30th of September upon the Affidavit of the Attorney for the Plaintiff that he had given direction accordingly And shews to the Court the Book of the Office Male against Kett. HE brought an Action against Kett for these words Thou hast stollen my Corn out of my Barn and verdict was given for the Plaintiff And after verdict it was moved in arrest of Iudgement That perchance the Corn was not of the value of a penny Yet Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff For it is felony although it is not great Hitcham against Cason before NOw they urged 5 Eccles If thou see the oppression of the poor and perverting of Iudgement Perverting of Iudgement is the Oppression But then he did not again manifest Injustice It was objected that he might give erroneous Iudgement and that is Injustice If they are taken all alike it is clear that they are actionable and the party himself ought not to interpret but the Iudge The Case between Palmer and Boyer M. 37 38 El.

William Watsons Case AN action of Battery was brought against William Watson for battery committed by him insimul cum I. Watson And Iudgment was given against him and dammages and levyed and payed to the Plaintiff And after in another Action which was brought against I. Watson and he also was found guilty And Diggs moved in arrest of Iudgement for that that he had recoveted and had execution against W. Watson But by the Court Where several actions are brought against two for the same battery and a recovery is had against the one and an action is brought against the other and that found also The Court can never intend that to be the same Battery Because he may commit 20 Batteries in one day But if he may take any advantage of the first recovery it ought to be shewed in pleading But if there be but one Original against both and several Declarations produced when he hath recovered he hath dammages against the other But if he recover against the other before he had execution against the first Then he had his election to have whether dammages given against the first or the dammages given against the other And Coo. lib. 11.56 Heydons Case by Richardson is to the same effect Eve against Wright Eve brought a Replevin against Wright who was known as Bayliff to the Lord Peters For that the Lord Peters had a Court Léet within the Mannor of Writtle And that he distreined for an amerciament upon the Plaintiff at that Court Leet of the Lord c. And upon issue that he had not such a Léet The Iurors found that the Lord Peters at the time when c. had a Leet within the Mannor and that the Tenants ought to come to his Léet But also they found that the Warden and Fellows of New College in Oxford had a Rectory also within the Mannor of Writtle called the Roman fee And that they time out of mind c. had a Léet within that Rectory and that the Plaintiff is a Resiant within the Roman fee But whether upon the whole matter the Lord Peters had a Leet upon all the Resiants within the Mannor of Writtle they prayed the discretion of the Court in that And it was said by Richardson That the matter is found expresly for the Lord Peters And if the Court séemed to be agréed then he assess'd dammages and that Verdict was clearly for the Defendant And if the matter in Law might well come in question as the Iurors intend scilicet whether a Person will be compellable to two Léets yet Iudgement shall be given for the Lord Peters For it might be a general Leet of the Hundred or a special Leet within a Mannor within the Hundred As it is expresly 21 E. 3.34 And the Case of the Countess of Northumberland and Devonshire was in this Court before this time agreed Crook Iustice 18 Iac. Banc. Reg. One Cooks and Sables Case there was agreed to this purpose Though a man is not compellable to be attendant to two Leets although they be held at several daies Yet by that Custom they may be attendant Like to Walgraves Case which was adjudged in this Court That a Mannor may be held by Copy of another And that the Lord of a Copyhold-Mannor may grant Copyhold And this Iudgement was affirmed good in the Kings Bench in a Writ of Error For Custome hath abolisht that And the opinion of the Court was That he cannot be attendant on two Leets if they be held at several daies It was said by Richardson That the Lord of the Roman fee shall not be Subject to the Leet of the Lord Peters As appears by 21 E. 3.33 And Crook said That that Book was good Law For there when the party is amerced in the one Court he cannot be punished in the other Court for the same offence And afterwards Richadson and the whole Court said That he himself shall be subject to another Court for his resiance or otherwise he should be exempt from every Leet Humbletons Case MOre of this you have before Now they afterwards come and the Case was recited in some thing different from the former scilicet That there being such a Communication as afore the consideration was That Palmer having now brought an Action against him he should defend the said Sute in maintenance of their Tytle of Common and that immediatly after Iudgement given he should pay him half his costs or 40 l. Vpon which this Assumpsit is brought And the Issue was Whether he defended the Sute in maintenance of their Title of Common and it was found against the Defendant And by the whole Court the Plaintiff had well declared the consideration For the words are that he maintain the Title against Palmer for the promise was after the acttion brought And the Plaintiff is not to prescribe what Plea hee 'll plead but that he defend that Sute And then when Palmer is not owner of the Soyle as appears in the evidence in the Kings Bench. And so if a pretence to common fail he should be punisht for a Trespass where he ought not Palmer being an Introcer upon the King And every Commoner may break the Common if it be inclosed Although he does not put cattel in immediately But he may infriender by the other Commoners or his Tenents and his Title of Common only excuses him of the Trespass And also the Iury had found that it was in maintenance of the Title of Common expresly And so Iudgement was entred for the Plaintiff pleno consensu Dorothy Owen against Owen Price DOrothy Owen brought an action of the Case against Owen Price upon a trover of Conversion of one Load of Wheat and one other of Barley within the Rectory of Broody And upon not guilty the Iury found a special Verdict to this effect viz. Marmaduke Bishop of St. Davies seised of the Rectory of Broody and a Mannor parcell of the Bishoprick 3 August 27 El. makes a Lease of them being formerly demised to Anne-Davyes and the two Daughters P. and C. habendum a die datus for their lives successively viz. to A. and her Assigns for her life rendring the antient rent and afterwards the first of September 27 El. makes a Letter of Attorny to I. S. to enter in the Rectory and Mannor and there to deliver seisin secundam formam Cartae which he did accordingly The Lease is confirmed the Bishop dies and Wilburn his Successor accepts the rent of A. and without any entry makes a second Lease for two lives to the Defendant and he is translated Laude the next Successor before any acceptance makes another Lease for
was found for the Plaintiff And Atthowe moved in arrest of Iudgement First for that That in the Record it was entred that the Issue was inter praedict Robertum where it should have been Radulphum And secondly that the words were not actionable Richardson said as to the mistake it was helped by the word aforesaid And although that it was inter praedict Andrews it should have been well For it cannot be intended but the same Andrews And Crook Iustice cited Dyer 260. Cook and Watsons Case to be the same Case and 11 H. 7. Penningtons Case That the words were actionable For the Statute punishes forgery and the procurers of forgery And it is all one although he did not say falsly procured as the precise words of the Statute are Yet it shall be intended that that is implyed in the word Forge But if it had been said the Deed given in evidence was forged that was not actionable Wood against Symons VVOod against Symons in a Prohibition in which Symons libels for Tithes of Hay And Wood suggests for the Prohibition That he used to pay tithe of Hay in specie in consideration whereof he used to be discharged for all Doles Green-skips and Headlands not exceeding the breadth that a Plough or a Teame might turn about the Lands And Henden moved for a Consultation For that it is said about c. that is circa terras arabiles When the truth is there are Skips at the side of Lands as broad as the Lands themselves and then he would be discharged of them also Whereas it ought to be at the end of the Head-lands only Richardson said that in arable lands inclosed Pasture is at the end and at the sides which is mowed and yet discharged of tithes But the Court in respect there was a Prohibition granted said That he ought to joyn Issue or demurre upon the Declaration Summons IN a Writ of partition after the Summons an Estrepment was granted and generally against the Parties and their servants For in partition no dammages are to be recovered Quod nota Escape IF a Sheriff remove his Prisoners out of the County without being commanded it is an escape But if he remove them from one place to another in his County as he changes his Gaol it is not an Escape But if he remove prisoners for their ease and delight in the same County it is a Escape As the Case was cited by Harvy That one went with his Prisoner to a Bear-bating in the same County And it was adiudged an Escape And Hutton Iustice said So that if a Sheriff permit his Prisoners to go to work for their benefit it is an Escape And the Question was if in an Audita Querela for a voluntary Escape of one in Execution there should be bayl and the opinion of the Court was That if it appears That the Cause upon which the Audita Querela is grounded is called a good proof by the Record and that he should not be bayled unless good and special bayl Duncombe against Sir Edward Randall IN an action upon the Case betwéen Duncombe and Sir Edward Randall for diversion and stopping of a River It was agreed by the Court That if one had antiently Ponds which are replenisht by Chanels out of a River He cannot change the Chanels if any prejudice accrew to another by that And yet the effect by prefluxions is to have the Ponds fed out of the River But sic utere tuo ut ne laedas alieno The Vicar of Hallifaxes Case A Chaplain that was under the Vicar of Hallifax libells against him for his Sallary And he prescribes that the Vicar ought to pay the Chaplains four pounds a year And the Vicar prays a Prohibition First for that he alleges That the Chaplains were eligible by himself And because that Chaplain was not elected by him He is not Chaplain But he is in of his own wrong c. Secondly That prescription for Sallery was tryable at the Common law Yelverton the Sallery is spiritual as the Cure it self is spiritual for which it is to be payed As the Case in Dyer 58. Pl. 4. But a Prohibition was granted untill it was determined to whom the election appertained And that now depends by Prohibition in this Court Assault and Battery TRespass of Assault and Battery was brought against two and the one of them appeared and a Verdict was found against him The other was in the insimul cum And dammages were taxed against him who appeared But the Court by view of the Plaintiff increase the dammages from 30 l. to 40 l. And afterwards a verdict was given against the other Defendant and dammages also were taxed And Thime moved that the other Defendant had murdered the Officer who came to serve the Execution upon him for the 40 l. And so they by possibility might recover nothing against him that the Court would increase the dammages against this Defendant upon another view of the wound But the Court denied that For they can have but view one time in this Action But if they had brought several Actions then it had béen otherwise But he directed him to stay all untill the first Defendant was hanged And then they may make a view and increase the dammages Margery Rivets Case A Iudgement in Debt was brought against Margery Rivets Administratrix durante minori aetate of her Son And in a Scire facias against her she pleaded in Bar that she was Administratrix c. and that such a day her Son came to full age scilicet 17 years and that after she refused before the Ordinary And that the Administration was granted to a Stranger And that she had delivered all the Goods in her hands at the time of the Writ brought or after c. The Plaintiff replies and confesses all the Bar But that before the delivery of the Goods and Administration granted by the Ordinary devastivit and does not say that praedicta Margery devastavit The Defendant joyns Issue Quod praedict Margery non devastavit Which was found for the Defendant And Hitcham the Kings Sergeant moved in arrest of Iudgement For that that there was no Issue For every Issue ought to be returned certain and the Issue grows upon the affirmative Then the word of the Defendant quod praedict does nothing for the affirmative makes the Issue Coo.

Harris's case One pleads that he was seised of White acre and Infeoffac ..

benefit by that imposition of forfeiture and therefore we ought make a benign construction And for the Obligation that the non-payment of the forfeiture ought to be shewed by the Defendant I conceive otherwise For the breach ought to be averr'd as the Will is And where a breach is alleged for a forfeiture It ought to be pleaded so that it may be traversed Cook on the contrary If the Obligation be that she perform the Will then peradventure that shall be no forfeiture Gooderidges Case AN Indictment of murther against Gooderige There was an exception taken for that that the Indictment was That the said Francis who was murthered such a day apud quandam Down vocat Westmen down in Comitat.

demanded are material Because it is demandable in a Collateral place out of the Land charged Crook Grant of a rent and that I pay it at Michaelmas allwaies if it be demanded at my House there ought to be a demand And suppose it was to be demanded in such a place upon the Land I conceive the demand ought to be made accordingly Yelverton A Lease was made rendring a rent payable at such a day upon Condition that if the rent be not paid at such a day without demand That the Lessor may reenter And adjudged that no demand is now requisite For modus et conventio vincunt legem c. Sed adjurnatur Wolfes Case before THe Plaintiff was an Attorney who sued by attachment of Privilege And now the Court would not permit the amendment Because there was a material Error for it is to the disadvantage of the King For if the party be non-sute or a verdict passes against him the King shall have a Fine for false clamour and may recover them against the pledges But now where it is the Act of the Court or of the Clark or Attorny and not the party himself there may be amendment As warrant of Attorney may be entred after the Record removed And although that pledges were entred upon the Issue roll where it ought to have been upon the Imparlance roll But not on the contrary For the Issue roll is the inferiour Harvey If a Sute be by Bill as an Attorney being Defendant there are alwaies pledges entred in the Bill But if by Attachment also as so Then the Declaration is the Original Crook 12 Eliz. Dyer There Iudgement was reversed for want of Pledges And although that Case was before the Statute of 8 Eliz. yet that Statute does not ayd substantial Errors And in one Husseys Case in the Kings Bench That was adjudged for Error Wilknsons Case CRew moved that two were bound in a Statute and one dies his Heir within age That the extent shall demur Because that usura recurrit contra haeredem infra aetatem existentem And he cited 17 Ass 24. by Mawbrey And so it was agréed by the Court. And Richardson said That in that respect the Statute is an ill assurance Quod nota Waddingtons Case AYl●ff moved for a Prohibition for one Waddington for that that he was executor and was sued in the Councell of York upon an Obliligation for the payment of a Legacy And he alleges that a Lease which was put in the Inventory was aliened to him by the Testator in his life time And so the Question will be whether that should be Assets which ought to be tryed at the Common law And therefore prayed a Prohibition Richardson said The Councel of York have power of all Obligations And therefore having Iurisdiction of the principal they have Iurisdiction of the accessary Davenport It is seen that they may proceed upon an Obligation of all sums If they procéed Suo genere as in the Court of Equity But if a thing tryable at Common law as Assets or not Assets come they cannot proceed c. Richardson If a Sute be there for a Legacy and payment be pleaded they may try that But if they meddle in matter of Title then a Prohibition shall be granted Hutton There hath been many motions upon these Ecclesiastical Obligations for Prohibitions and allwaies they were denied And so it was in this Case Comins Case IN one Comins Case it was agreed by the Court That a Subiect may have a Forest But cannot have a Iustice Seat But he may have a Swanmark Court and the other Courts and a Commission to execute them Then a Forest in the hands of a Subject shall pay Tithes And it was agreed that in the hands of the King it is privileged And by Henden Davenport and Atthowe Sergeants It is only his personall privilege which extends to the Lessee of the King But not to the Feoffee And it was agréed That where the right of tithes comes in Question between a Parson and the Vicar who are both Ecclesiastical persons It shall be tryed by the Ecclesiastical Court But Richardson said the Books make a doubt Where it is between the Servant of the Vicar and the Parson But it seemed to him to be all one Margery Rivets Case before RIchardson Hutton and Harvey said That the Devastavit ought to be to Margery for Necessity sake For it cannot be intended otherwise For none can satisfie the Debt but Margery And the intention of the Replication was to charge her de bonis prop. for waste and no other can be intended to waste And the Case put of I. S. so being seised feoffavit There it is good without praedict I. S. But for the thing it ought to be Feoffavit inde 21 H. 7. There if W. S. be named again It shall be intended the same W. S. if there be not quidam I. S. and then otherwise and also it is much mended by the Replication For there it is ipsa Margareta non devastavit But Crook and Yelverton on the contrary according to their reasons before that no Issue is joyned And then the Statute does not ayd it For there is not any Nominative Case to which it may referre If it had been quo die Margery habens bona devastavit had been good But being bona habuit no Grammarian can make Construction of it And the Replication or Declaration ought to be certain to all intents 27 H. 6. 3. Wrotesleys Case In an information of Tithes It was said That the Defendant cognoscens him to be in sute being ruled that Congnoscens is not positively an affirmation but it ought to be cognovit And Iudgement was had upon it and yet after for that fault reversed 1 R. 3. There the Case was After verdict was entred that the Iury appeared et electi triati dicunt super sacramentum suum There it was reversed because it was not lurati and yet that was implyed by sacramentum strongly But Implications ought not to be allowed in Replicatious then we should introduce so many incertainties But by Crook Iudgement shall be given against the Plaintiff upon his own Replication For that that the waste is supposed after the Son came at full age and then the Administration that determines And Iudgement was given for the Defendant Roberts and others ROberts and others in East Greenwich were cited in the Spiritual Court to pay mony that the Wardens had expended in reparation of the Church And the Inhabitants alleged That the tax was made by the Church-wardens themselves without calling the Free-holders and also that the monys were expended in the re-edifying of Seats which belonged to their several Houses And they never assented that they should be pulled down And now that allegation was not allowed but sentence was given against them And then they appealed to the Arches where this allegation was also rejected And for that he prayed a Prohibition And the Court agreed That the
said Goe not to such a one c. it is actionable without question Slander of one in his Trade will bear an action And so all being connexed alike it ought to be intended that he killed him in respect of his skill In Cases of Defamation Sir George Hasting's Case Thou didst lye in wait to kill me with a Pistoll were actionable So if one touch another in respect of his skill in that that he professes it will maintain an action c. And Yelverton to the same purpose for there is a difference between a Profession and a particular Calling As if words are spoken of one that is a Iustice of Peace he ought to shew that he was then a Iustice of Peace for he is removable and may be changed every Quarter Sessions But as to a Calling the Calling of every man is his Free hold 43 E. 3. Grant of an Annuity to one pro consilio and he professes Divinity Physick and Law there the grant is pro consilio generally for Physick if that be his usuall Profession And it is intended that a man alwayes dyes in his Calling If he said to I. S. Thou art a murtherer it shall not be intended of Hares for the Iudges are not to search so far for construction Loquendum ut vulgus intelligendum et sapiens If one sayes of a Merchant Put not your Son to him for hee 'l starve him to death These words are actionable for that that it comes within the compasse of the disgrace of his Profession And so of a School-master Put not your Son to him for hee 'l come away as very a dunce as he went Harvey If one sayes of a Iudge He is a corrupt Iudge it cannot be meant of his body to be corrupt but it shall be intended of his Profession Peitoes Case before HEnden for the Defendant the Case is thus A Rent is granted for life out of Lands which descend to the Heir and he makes a Lease of parcell of the Land to the Grantee for years who surrenders the term Whether the Rent shall revive or suspend during the term And it was said by him it shall revive First For that that it is the act of him who is lyable to the Rent to accept the surrender And there is a difference where there is a determination barely by the act of the party there it shall not be revived For the first 21 H. 7. 9. Tenant in Tayl of a Rent is infeoffed of Land and he makes a Feoffment of Land with a warranty to B. with Voucher as of land discharged of that Rent And so it is 19 H. 6. 55. Ascue put this Case Grantee of a rent in Fee and Donee in Tayl of Land infeoffs the Grantee who grants that over and afterwards the issue in Tayl recovers in a Formedon yet the rent shall not be revived But if it had been the joynt act of the parties as so by surrender it should have been revived First It is clear that if a Chattell personall be suspended by Sute it shall be gone for ever As if a Feme marries the Obligor 11 H. 7. 25. unless suspension be in anothers right if it be by the act of the party there it shall be revived As if a Feme Executrix marry with the Obligor and he dyes the suspension is determined and they are revived against the Executors 7 H. 6. 2. In one Gascoines Case Lessee surrenders to the Lessor upon condition the rent be suspended but if the Lessor enter for conditions broken the Rent is revived Which in effect is our case A rent is granted to the Daughter and the land descends to her and her other Sister who make partition The Rent is revived for it is the joynt act of both parties Plow 15. If a man had a Rent and disseises the Tenant of the land and after the Disseisee re-enters Where there is a revivor of the land there is a revivor of the Rent for the disseisin was the cause of the suspension and that now is gone Secondly Because that when the Lessee for years surrenders the term is determined to all purposes and the Lessor is in of his Estate is Fee and there is a diversity of surrender in respect of a stranger for to a stranger it may have Essence after surrender But as to himself it is otherwise extinct And he cannot say that it had any Essence 5 H. 5. 12. But in respect of a stranger it ha's continuance as if an Executor surrenders yet it shall be assets And all acts done upon Lessee for ltfe before surrender shall have a continuance after And so he prayed Iudgement for the Avowant But more after Wakeman against Hawkins IT was said That if an Executor was sued in this Court by Originall he shall not put in Bayl. But if he be arrested in an inferiour Court and removed by Habeas corpus he ought to put in Bayl. Stamford and Coopers Case STamford and Coopers Case was thus I. S. acknowledges a Statute to Cooper the 22 January and afterwards he confesses a Iudgement to Stamford the 23 of January next ensuing the Statute And it is extended And Stamford brought a Scire fac against Cooper to wit now because he ought not to have the land by Elegit And the Question was whether the Iudgement by relation shall defeat the Statute And it was resolved That the Iudgement shall have relation to the Essoin day which is the 20 day of Ianuary for that is the first day of the term legally and the fourth day after is the first day of the Term open Dyer 361. Pla. 10. A Release was pleaded after the last continuance and it bore date the 21 of Ianuary which was after the day of Essoin de Octab. Hil. And for that nought because that it came late for it ought to have been after the last continuance and before the last day c. 33 H 6. 45. Nisi prius was taken after the day of the return and before the fourth day after and adjudged nought because that the day of the return which is the Utas is the first day of the term and the fourth day after but a day of Grace and that is the difference If a man be obliged to pay money the first day of the Term he shall not pay it but upon the fourth day after for that is the first day in all common acceptance But in all legall proceedings the first day is the Essoin day And so it was adjudged 16 Eliz. And in the Kings Bench it was in one Williams Case A Iudgement was given the 20 of Ianuary and a Release of all Errours the 21 Ianuary and adjudged that that bars the Iudgement given the 20 Ianuary although it was not entred the fourth day after A Iustice in the Kings Bench examined an Infant upon inspection the Essoin day and found him to be under age and would not permit him to confess a Iudgement although that he would
not but a liberty given by the Conisee to the Conisor to be at large That does not release the Execution Dolbins Case IN a Replevin the parties were at Issue and the Plaintiff sued a Venire f. c. returnable such a day at which day the Sheriff does not return the Writ Wherefore the Avowant by Ward prayed a Venire fac with a proviso for him And it was granted by the whole Court Fossams Case A Man after the Statute of 27 H. 8. makes a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself for term of his life and after his decease to the use of I. S. and his Heirs The Feoffor does waste And I. S. brought his Action of Waste And now if his Writ shall be general or special was the Demur in Iudgement And Hutton and the other Iustices were clearly of opinion That the Plaintiff ought to have a special Writ And so it was adjudged afterwards Doswell against Iames. IN Debt brought upon an Obligation Iames shews that the Obligation was endorsed with a Condition to perform all the Covenants comprised in an Indenture and he pleads that all the Covenants were fulfilled And does not shew in certainty the Covenants nor how they were performed And Hitcham said that the Plea was not good For there is a Diversity when one pleads in the Affirmative and when in the Negative For if in the Affirmative he shews in the certainty how the Condition or Covenants were performed And there is no diversity in my opinion between the Conditions which were upon the dorsed Obligation and the Covenants in the Indenture And it is to be thought that he who knows more of the Truth should shew it in his Plea And therefore he who pleads the Affirmative shews how the Conditions are performed Because it lyes much in his knowledge Whether he hath performed them or not But where he pleads in the Negative otherwise it is For there he is not to shew the certainty And yet I will agree that if one brings an Action of Debt upon an Obligation indorsed with a Condition The Defendant may plead the Conditions performed generally But otherwise it is of Covenants in an Indenture And in an Obligation with a Condition endorsed if he pleads the Conditions performed and he shews what thing he hath done If it be in the Affirmative he ought to shew the certainty of it also So that for that cause the Plea will not avayl Also it is incertain and doubtfull to the Iury. For if in that Case we are at Issue upon such a general Plea Although it shall be tryed by the Iury Yet it would be strange to enquire of such general things Wherefore c. Gerrard against Boden AN Annuity was brought by Gerrard against the Parson of B. And the Plaintiff counts That the said Parson granted an Annuity of 40 l. pro bono consilio suo imposter impenso for term of life of the said Parson And for 30 l. of arrerages this Action was brought Finch thought the Count not to be good And first it is to be considered If that Annuity might be assigned and granted over or not And as I think it cannot For an Annuity is not but as a sum of mony to be paid to the Grantee by the Grantor And not at all to the realty if the Land be not charged by express words in the same Deed. And to prove it If a man grant an Annuity to me and my Heirs without naming of my Heirs If the Annuity be denied it is gone Because my Person is only charged with the Annuity and not the Land So if a man grants to you the Stewardship of his Mannor of D. and to your Heirs you cannot grant that over And so of a Bayliwick But peradventure it may be said That an Annuity may be granted over in this Case Because in the Habendum It is said to the Assignees of the Grantee But that is nothing to the purpose as I think For I take a difference when a thing comes in the Habendum of a Deed which declares the Premises of the Deed For there it shall be taken effectuall but otherwise not As if Lands be given to a man and his Heirs habendum sibi haered de corpore suo procreat That is a good tayl But if a thing comes in the Habend which is repugnant to the Premises of the Deed and to the matter of the thing which is given by the Deed Then the Habend is void for that parcel As in the Case at Bar it is meerly contrary to the nature of the Annuity to be assigned over to another And there is no remedy given for it but an Action and it is Common learning that a thing in Action cannot be assigned over unless it be by the grant of the King Also by their Declaration they have acknowledged it to be no more than a chose in action Then a Rent seck for which he had not any other remedy but an Action after Seisin For he said that he was seised in his Demesn as of Franktenement of the Rent aforesaid Then it ought to be a Rent-seck For of no other Rent can a man be seised in his Demesn because they lye in prend As of Advowsons common for years and of Estovers And I will not agree that difference put by Littleton in his Book to this purpose For of such things which lye in manual occupation or receipt A man shall not say that he was seised in his Demesn as of a Rent Because it lyes in the prend Pasc 4 Car. Com. Hanc And in the 21 E. 4. The Case is doubtfull And Crawley of the same opinion Hitcham of the contrary And at another day Hutton said that the parties were agreed Hitcham We desire to have your opinion notwithstanding for our learning Hutton said We are agreed that the Annuity may be granted over and it is not so much in the personalty as hath been argued by Finch And in some Books it is said that a Release of personal Actions is not a Plea in a Writ of Annuity Groves against Osborn THe Case was thus A man makes a Lease for life the Remainder for life upon Condition that if the second Lessee for life dye in the life of the first Lessee That the Remainder in fee shall be to another And it was said That that Remainder might commence upon that Condition well enough It was said by Atthowe That where a Remainder depends upon a determination of another Estate So that none shall take any Estate by the Remainder upon Condition then the Remainder is good As if a man give Lands to A. for life upon Condition that if I. S. pay me 40 s. before such a day That the Remainder shall be to him That is a good Remainder But when an Estate is to be defeated by a Remainder depending upon that Then the Remainder is not good As if I lease Lands for life upon Condition That if the Rent be in
appear gratis if he will Warner against Barret ELizabeth Warner libells for a Legacy in the Spiritual Court against one Barret who moves for a Prohibition Because he had there pleaded plene administ and proved that by one Witness and they would not allow it Richardson before the Statute of E. 6. The proper Sute for Tithes was there and they allow one Witness to prove payment a Prohibition shall be granted And he put Morris Eatons Case in the Bishop of Winchesters Case Where it was ruled if the Spiritual Court will not allow that plea which is good in our Law a Prohibition shall be granted as in Case of Tithes And he said that the Case of a Legacy is all one Crook When one comes to discharge a thing by due matter of Law and proves it by one Witness If it be not allowed no Prohibition shall be granted there Richardson Our Case is proof of plene Administ pleaded which goes in discharge But if there be enough pleaded which goes in discharge and proves that by one Witness and not allowed A Prohibition shall be granted Hutton said that properly for a Legacy the sute is in the Ecclesiastical Court although they may sue in the Chancery for it yet the proper Court is the Ecclesiastical Court And they said they used to allow one Witness with other good circumstantial proofs If they be not in some criminal Causes where of necessity there must be two Witnesses In one Hawkins Case Farm or of a Propriation libells for Tithes of Lambs for seven years And there he proved payment by one Witness and a Prohibition was granted for not allowance Yelverton There may be a difference where the Sute is meerly Ecclesiasticall for a sum of mony as for a Legacy there the payment of the legacy is of the nature of the thing And the Ecclesiastical Court shall have Iurisdiction of the proof and matter But if one gives a legacy of 20 Oxen And the other pleads payment of as much mony in satisfaction there they cannot proceed but upon Common law For that that the legacy is altered And if a proof of one Witness is not accepted a Prohibition shall be granted For now it is a legal Tryall 35 H. 6 If the principal is proper for their Court the accessory is of the same nature Also the Sute is commenced for a Legacy and the other pleads plene administ There they proceed upon the Common law For they sometimes take that for Assets which our Law does not take It was adjudged in the Kings Bench that a proof by one Witness of a Release of a Legacy was disallowed a Prohibition shall be granted Crook In this Case a proof of setting out of Tithes by one Witness a Prohibition shall be granted Hawkeridge's Case IT was agréed by all in Hawkeridge's Case That in a forcible entry or Trespass brought against one If the Defendant is found guilty by verdict and before Iudgement the Plaintiff releases to him Because that by that the Plaintiff is barred The King is also barred of his Fine Falkners Case ATthow Sergeant said That if these words were wanting in a Déed In cujus rei Testimon That the Déed is not good And he said that all Covenants Grants and Agréements which came after those words in a Déed are not of force nor shall be pleaded as parcell of the Déed It was observed by the Court That the Wife of a Duke Earl or Baron in all writings they shall be named Ladies But the Wives of Knights shall be named Dames And it was likewise observed that if a Wife of a Duke Earl or Baron takes a new Husband of a more base degrée That she loses her name of Dame or Lady and shall be named in every Writ according to the degrée of her Husband As it happened in the Case of the Lady Johnsons Case IT was said if a Parson leases his Rectory for years or parcel of his Glebe reserving a Rent and dies his Successor accepts she Rent That acceptance does not make the Lease good Because by his death the Franktenement is in abeyance and in no Man And also a Parson cannot discontinue And by consequence That that he did without Livery is determined by his death And it is not like to the Case of an Abbot Prior or Tenent in tayl Joyce Norton and Thomas Ducket against Harmer IOyce Norton and Thomas Ducket Plaintiffs against George Harmer the Vicar of c. In a Prohibition the Libel was for Wood imployed in Hedging and for Fire-wood Issue was joyned that there was in the Parish a great quantity of Land inclosed And that they used to take Wood for Hedge-boot and Fire-boot and they were discharged of Tithes in consideration that he payed Tithes in kind of Hay and Corn c. And it was found for the Defendant Crowley moved That a Consultation cannot be granted for that that they ought to be acquitted of Tithes for those of Common right And for that although prescription was alleged it is nothing to the purpose Atthowe For Fire-wood it was proved that Tithes alwaies were paid Richardson There is no doubt but the discharge also ought to be by Custome and to be grounded upon modus decimandi Yelverton and Crook otherwise that it is not upon modus decimandi But by the Common law And the reason is for that that when a man is Owner of arable Land and he pay tithe-milk and Corn And for that they are discharged of things consumed in the House Which are to make Masters and Servants fit to manure the Land c. Richardson said It is seen that it shall alwaies be discharged in consideration it is alleged how a small consideration will serve Crook It is not modus decimandi but the discharge is for that that the Parson for them had a benefit for he had by them better means of Tithes Hutton If a man had an House of Husbandry and demises all the Lands but the House He shall pay tithes for them absumpt in the House Crook not No profit is made by them to the party but the Parson had a benefit by him And a day was given to search Presidents Bibble against Cunningham BIbble brought an Action upon the Case against Cunningham and declares That there was a Communication between him and the Defendant of the sale of a Banck and an acre of Land And that in consideration thereof and that the Plaintiff would assure and deliver to the Defendant possession of all the Banck assoon as he could and that at all times upon request to be made to the Plaintiff by the Defendant the Plaintiff would become bound in a Statute Merchant to make the Assurance to the Defendant The Defendant promised to pay to the Plaintiff 72 l. at the end of 3 years from Michaelmas next ensuing And that in the mean time for the forbearance he would give after 8 l. in the 100 l. and that he became bound in a Statute Merchant for the
a title be made there by prescription it is méerly coram non Judice and if they cannot meddle with the principal it is not reason that they shall tax costs And a prohibition was granted Fawkner against Bradley FAwkner and others against Bradley In false judgement given before the Sheriff of B●…rkshire Bradley brought a replevin against Fawkner and the others who commanded the Sheriff to deliver the goods and summon the parties to appear The parties being demanded at the day they appeared and then the Plaintiff declared upon which it was proceeded to Iudgement And it was held to be naught For that he declared before any appearance But upon the default he might have an attachment and a distresse insuing Dame Sherleys Case DAme Sherley wife of Sir Henry Sherley sued in the High Commission Court for Alimony And Hitcham moved for a prohibition And said that alimony is not within the jurisdiction of the high Commssion For the Court of high Commission is to try ardua regni which are not tryable by the Common law Richardson The power of the high Commission is not de arduis regni but of heresies and of such other things Ecclesiastical And he said that the Court of high Commission had special words in their Commission but not in the Statute of primo and that the Statute de primo had no prerogative in that And so the question is if the King may by the Common Law grant such a Commission Hutton said that by the same reason as he may grant such a Commission They may grant Commissions for all other things Yelverton I marvail how that came within their Commission he said that in tempore Iacobi upon a debate before him Sir Edward Cook so fully satisfied the King And this matter of Alimony was commanded to be put out of their Commission And upon that Richardson said to Hitcham Move this again when the Court is full for we may advise of this Et adjournat Lynne against Coningham LYnne against Coningham in an action upon the case the matter was thus An action of debt was brought by the Plaintiff and he recovered and had a capias ad satisfaciendum to take the party The Sheriff arrests him and the Defendant made a rescous And in that if an action lies for the Plaintiff was the question And Ayliff said that the action did not lie against the party who made the rescous but against the Sheriff And he cited Fitzher Nat. Brev. 16 E. 4.3 where the difference is If an arrest be made upon a mean process and a rescous made There the Sheriff is not responsable Because that the Plaintiff might continue his processe against the Defendant But if it be upon Execution after Iudgement Now an action does not lye against the party but against the Sheriff And if he had an action against the party he shall have an action against the Sheriff also and so twice satisfied And the Sheriff shall have an action against the party and so he shall be twice charged Richardson said That the action well lies for the Case in 16 E. 4. It is séen there that it is doubted upon the mean proces execution as to the rescous the party may have an action either against the Sheriff or the rescoussers And in some cases a man shall have his election of the actions and both actions are but to recover damages A man had an execution against one He saw the man and conveyed him out of his sight And it was adjudged that an action upon the case lies against him And peradventure the Sheriff is dead then he should have no remedy if he had not an action against the party and no inconvenience follow For he that will do such a wrong it is no matter if he be charged by both If the Sheriff suffer one to escape it is an escape as to the Sheriff but the Plaintiff may have a new execution against the party if he will as it was resolved in this Court but Hutton on the contrary and that the action does not lie As if a man be imprisoned and an other help him out of prison yet an action will not lie against him by the Plaintiff And the difference is good where a man is arrested upon a mean processe and rescued and afterwards becomes non solvend so that they who rescued him is the cause of the loss of my debt It is a wrong upon which he may be indicted Yet the party shall not have a remedy against him because that he may proceed And then he should be the cause of multiplicity of actions Yelverton was of the same opinion and agreed that difference put before And that there is no difference between this case and the case put by Hutton For a rescous made half an hour after the arrest is all one as if it were a year after And Fitzherb nat brev 102. satisfies me Harvey on the contrary He who was injured the law gives him a remedy against the party who did the wrong In the Kings Bench the case how one came to take in execution by a fier fac the goods being in an house and one séeing the Sheriff came and shut close the door and adjudged that an action upon the case lies against him And there is no difference between our case and that where one comes to make execution and the other makes a rescous Richardson in Greshams case Gresham was possessor of the glasse house at Black-fryars Beresford was a Glass-mamaker and had many glasses in Greshams house Seaman recovers in debt against Beresford and coming to make Execution of those glasses Gresham standing at his door séeing them coming and knowing their purpose shut the doors Seaman brought an action upon the case against him and judgement was given for the Defendant because that the Sheriff never demanded the Key to open the house 18 E. 2. If he had demanded the Key it had been adjudged against Gresham And there if an action upon the case will lie for hindring to make execution a multo fortiori when it is actually done and then the party rescued And he denied the case put by Hutton where one is rescued out of prison And said if one be rescued from the Bayliffs the Sheriff ought to have the action Hutton upon a mean process the Sheriff never had remedy for the rescous but he shall return the rescous But upon an execution he shall not return the rescous but he shall have an action and that the party is not prejudiced for he shall have an action against the Sheriff who in judgement of law is the party lyable Crook That the action will lie is a mischief on both parts The Defendant may be twice charged and the Plaintiff may lose his Debt But I conceive the action well lies against him who made the rescous c. And if the Sheriff brings the action he may plead the recovery by the Plaintiff when the Sheriff makes his return of the
that every Inhabitant should pay 6 d. and some 7 d c. And because that that was not the proof of the suggestion Atthow prayed a consultation and by the Court upon that reason it was granted But it was agreed that if the modus was alleged 20 s. and proved 40 s. it is good because it is but to intitle the Court to the jurisdiction but in the principal case no modus is proved for it is meer incertainty More afterwards Farrington against Kemarre FArrington brought an information against Kemarre upon the statute of 32 H. 8. cap. 4. for selling of Beer for more than the Iustices assest And upon the issue of not-guilty joyned he had a verdict found for him against the Defendant Atthow moved in arrest of Iudgement that the Court had not Iurisdiction for that the Statute 21 Jacob. cap. 4. It is enacted That all informations which may be before the Iustices of peace nisi prius Assize Gaol delivery Dyer and Terminer shall be before them and not elsewhere And he said that an information for this matter may be before the Iustices of Peace c. But he argued upon the statute of 33 H. 8. cap. 10. 17 H. 8. cap 11. that they may inquire of Vagabonds c. Victuals and Victuallers and Inneholders So that the point is whether it was an offence within the Statute of 33 H. 8. For if there be an Information it is given by express words But that statute does not oust the Iurisdiction of this Court but the Subject had his Election until the Statute of 21 Jac. which confirms such Informations So that the question is whether now Brewers be within the word Victuallers or Beer within the word Victuals And I conceive that béer is victuals and Brewers are Victuallers which I prove by common experience and by another Statute There is no Statute in England but make informations against Brewers before the Iustices of Peace And they are all erroneous if they be not within the word Victuallers For by 23 H. 8. A remedy is only given against them by an action of debt bill c. in which no protection Essoyn or wager of Law shall be allowed but at the Courts of Westminster Then they ought to be upon that Statute of 33 H. 8. And Lambert and Crompton are much deceived For it is an article of their Charge to enquire of Brewers But another statute viz. 2 E. 6. cap. 15. The Brewers are called Victuallers The words are If any Butchers Brewers Bakers Poulterers Cooks Coster-mongers c. conspire to sell their Victuals c. And what victuals shall be sold by a Brewer but Beer And there the whole Parliament were mistaken if Brewers were not Victuallers And for that he concludes that because that that offence at the making of 21 Iac. was punishable by Information before the Iustices of the Peace For that by this Statute this Court shall not have Iurisdiction But Hitcham on the contrary The Statute of 21 H. 8. says That for offences of Brewers they shall be inquired of by the Courts of the King That it is meant the four Courts at Westminster is clear And when one Statute is made which confirms a sute at the four Courts of Westminster yet if by a second Statute you will alter that you ought to have precise words And if you bring that within the word Victual you abrogate the Statute by general words against the wisdom of Parliament before which provided that those offences should not be inquirable in the Country and then the Statute of little force Et loquendum ut Vulgus It is improper to say that a Brewer is a Victualler for they are such who sell in specie And in the Country if it he inquired whether it be an Alehouse or a Victualling house It is said that this is he who sells victuals which is for the sustenance of a man by the Statute of 2 E. 6. you will say a Brewer there to be a Victualler for in every Statute the intention ought to be respected For if it goes to Cost ermongers it is more clear in reason that Brewers shall be within that and Corn and Beer are the chief things which conserve a Common-wealth And for that within And the Statute extends to them for conspiracy for inhauncing the prizes For they take their Courts to be within the Courts of the King For those words were not explained until Gregories Case Co. lib. 6. And being one time within their charge they observe their old tract Henden argued and divided his matter into thrée parts First He shewed how that Statute consists upon the Statute upon 23. 33. 37 H. 8. And it is clear upon 23 H. 8. what informations ought to be in those Courts 7 Eliz. Dyer 23. b. 37 H. 8. repeal 33. Only for a particular thing viz. of the time to enquire of those Offences by the Iustices and makes them inquirable at the Sessions Secondly Whether the Statute 33. took this thing from 23 H. 8. And he thought it did not Neither by the intention of the scope of the Act nor by the words First the intention of the Statute was not to inlarge the power of a Iustice of Peace but to provide that some things should be duly executed Which appears first by the Title and then the Preamble And if they have not particular Statutes they cannot meddle with that by the general words By which it follows that they had not power for Victuallers Now the 35 H. 8. cap. 3. provides that Victuals shall be sold and at what prices then when that Statute of 33 H. 8. came within 8 years certainly there was a respect to that And the Statute before concerning Victualls only is that Victuallers might contain Brewers For to say generally that Victuallers should be Brewers shall be absurd 8 Rep. Bonhams Case A Brewer is a Trade and may be intended under general words But it shall be alwaies secundum subjectam materiam As some Statutes which punish the selling of Victuals at anj unreasonable rate and Beer there is not Victual And by 2 E. 6. cap. 15. There is not an express name of a Brewer Which imports that it was not contained within the general word Victualler 2 E. 3. 6. Where there is a Common price for certain things to be sold at reasonable prices Where Brewers c. are named 28 H. 8. Hostlers Brewers and other Victuallers c. Then these Statutes prove that you ought to have Brewers expresly named If you will have them taken as Victuallers But posito that Brewers are within the general words of 33 H. 8. yet the power of this Court is not taken away by the Statute of 21 Iac. In the Kings Bench. An Information was upon the Statute of Vsury which was inquirable before the Iustices of Peace at the time of the making of 21 Iac. And the Question was Whether Informations are taken by 22 Iac. in Case of Vsury from the Courts
to be done every such assurance as the Council of the Obligee should devise when he should be thereunto required And it was shewn by Ward That the Obligee made such a request scil That the Obligor and his wife should levy a Fine If that Request were sufficient was the Question Hutton I think that the Request is not sufficient Because it is not pursuant according to the Obligation Richardson I think although the request be void for the wife and that she is not bound to make an assurance Yet the Obligor is bound to do it For against him the Request is good enough Thompson against Thompson IT was said by Hutton In debt against Executors if the Plaintiff had Iudgement against the Defendant and sued a levare fac de bonis Testatoris If the Sheriff upon that return a Devastavit the better form is upon that to award a scire fac against the Executor before that a fieri fac shall issue of their own goods For that writ of Execution is warranted by the first Iudgement which was but of the Goods of the deceased But now if there be issued a fieri fac de bonis testat si habuerint et si devastaverint de bonis propriis Then I will agree that upon that shall issue a Capias against the Executors ad satisfacieudum Dixson and his Wife against Blyth IN this Case a Question was demanded by Atthowe If a man seised in right of his wife leases for life the Remainder over in Fee And afterwards he and his wife recover the same Land in a Writ of Entry in the post against the Lessee for life If the Wife by that shall be remitted Hutton seemed that she shall be remitted As well as where a Feoffment is made to Baron and Feme For that Recovery countervails a Feoffment and no laches shall be adjudged in the Wife For the purchase of the Writ shall be adjudged the Act of the Husband only and not the Act of the Wife But it is good to be advised of that for peradventure she shall be estopped by the Record Bromefields Case IT was agreed by all the Iustices That if Tenant in tayl by Indenture upon consideration of mariage covenant with an other that certain persons should be seised to his use for term of his life and after his decease to the use of his Son and Heir apparent That by that Covenant there is not any use changed unless only during the life of Tenant in tayl Nortons Case before FInch Recorder said de comuni jure for Estovers burnt in an house tithes ought not to be paid by the Common law there was not any tithes paid for wood And although the Statute of 25 E. 3. gives a prohibition for timber yet Underwoods were discharged of tithes See Doctor and Student 171. It is express that Estovers are not tithable because they are not renewing every year and it is parcel of the Inheritance for to destroy all the underwoods is waste And there is another case put where tithes of wood had not by the custom been paid neither ought they to be paid in law or conscience But that is not to be intended the conscience of every particular man Dawleys Case was resolved for the Wilde of Sussex and Michaelmas 13 Iac. Banc. Roy. in the case of Porter and Dike for the Wilde of Kent of the same prescription resolved to he good And so is the common experience that a whole County may prescribe so And the reason is for that that by the Common Law it was not due but by the consideration of Winchelsey Linwood 104. It was ordained to be paid For then the prelates imputed a great pestilence that then was for the negligence of paying tithes and appointed tithes of wood And the Commons were desirous to have the Statute of silva c. otherwise explained than the Clergy declares it For they say that they ought not to pay tithes of any wood that is of the growth of 10 years Hutton Wood is tithable in their nature and then there may be a custom to discharge them And the case of Harthpenny cannot be answered for if he sues for the penny a prohibition shall not be granted quod concessum fuit Crook and Yelverton But of things not tithable tithes of them cannot be sued without alleging a custom Crooke It is known that Harthpenny is good by prescription This Case is when there is not land belonging to the house so that the Parson is not answered for his tithes another way But when there are ten servants kept for the maintaining it Then by the Law of the land it appears that tithe ought not to be paid although custom had been alleged it is nothing to the purpose as if a custom is alleged to pay 4 d. for every acre in discharge of tithes and the verdict finds 3 d. no consultation shall be granted And so for wood to fence the ground or dry cattel to manure the ground Although custom be alleged there in discharge of it and found against the party yet no consultation shall be granted Hutton the herbage of barren Cattel is tithable because there is a custom which discharges those which are for the Cart. And he said that the Custom only makes that legem terrae And he cited Doctor Graunts Case He libels for tithe of an house and the party brought a prohibition and alleged modus decimandi c. And it was alleged in arrest of Iudgement as houses were not tithable de communi jure and yet a consultation was granted And there Cook put this case which I do not remember in the printed book that one libelled for tithes of trees and custom alleged and there was found no such custom in discharge yet it was ruled that no custom was granted Browne against Hancocke BRowne brought an action upon the case upon an assumpsit against Hancocke and declares that whereas the 10. of May 16 Iac. there were some controversies between Charls Nichols and the Brother of the Defendant concerning arrerages of rent and it was desired that Nichols would part with his term And 19 l. and a cloak and a gelding were offered to the lessee for his term which he refused Afterwards the Defendant in consideration that the Plaintiff would labour with Charles Nichols to take the offer and make an end between them Assumed that whatsoever the Plaintiff undertook for the Defendant he would perform and also save him harmlesse for any thing that he should doe in that businesse and then he said that he procured Charles Nichols to assign his term and to accept the cloak and gelding which the Defendant did not perform and allso that the Plaintiff covenanted with Charles Nichols to perform the agreement and obliged himself to that in 50 l. And that afterwards Charles Nichols filed a bill of debt for the money whereupon he compelled him to pay it and upon non assumpsit pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff and
three things were moved in arrest of Iudgement which Serjeant Barkely answered There was a covenant to enter into an obligation at Michaelmas and the Plaintiff shews that he entred before So he does not perform the consideration which he conceived to be a good performance For if a man be bound to doe an act or pay money at Michaelmas a payment before is good H. 7. 17. 2. pasc It is shewn that an action of Covenant was brought after And they say that upon his shewing covenant does not lie but debt but he said that the Plaintiff had his election here to have debt or covenant As in the Lord Cromwels case the words covenanted provided and agreed give advantage of a condition or covenant If a covenant had been sor 30 l. then debt only lyes But here it is to perform an agreement Thirdly that it appears within the declaration that the action of the case was 6 years before the action brought And so by the Statute of 21. Jac. the action does not lye I agree if the cause was 6 years before yet the breach was within the 6 years and that is the cause of action 6. rep 43. In a covenant there is the deed and the breach of the covenant and that is the cause of the action And therefore being matter in Deed an accord with satisfaction is a good plea to it 13. E. 4. Attaint is grounded upon matter of record but the false oath is the cause of it For that there also accord is a good plea So in our case the non performance by default was not at the time limitted which was before the 6 years but no action was brought against the Plaintiff untill within the six years And then he is not damnifyed untill within the six years 5 Rep. 24. Richardson For the two first exceptions he agreed with Barkley as to the third he said that there can be no action before the breach of the promise or covenant But the breach here is before the six years for the non performance of the agreement is a breach and a breach is a damnificationn In one Boughtons case the non payment is a damnification But all the question here was whether that ought to be pleaded but I conceive that it need not for by the Statute-law the action is taken away And it being a general law the court ought ex officio to taken notice of it For in that after verdict if it appears that there is no cause of action although the verdict be found for the Plaintiff he shall never have Iudgement And upon the matter that latches in time amounts to a release in law the proviso cannot ayd you For every man shall be intended without those disabilities for that that he would shew that he would have advantage of it And Crook of the same opinion for the reasons given before and said that although the Statute took away the Common law yet it is good law and done for the ease of the subject and for that shall be favoured as the Statute of limitations in all cases But he said the non performance was not a damnification before the action brought As if I be bound as for surety for A. who is bound to save me harmlesse Although he does not pay it at the day There is not a breach before the arrest or Iudgement For by the Iudgement the lands and goods are liable But for the arrest his body is troubled for that now the Scriveners put in such obligations that they save harmlesse the party and pay the money at the day But for the other matters in all he agreed and cited Richardson and Burroughs Case Where a payment before the day was adjudged a payment at the day Yelverton That is not found that there is any sufficient notice given to the Defendant by the Plaintiff of the agreement made which he ought to have And he agréed in omnibus with Richardson and said that Scriveners use things ex abundanti Richardson It is said habuit notitiam in the Declaration but does not say by whom Yet after verdict it shall be intended a good notice And although that Nichols had given the notice it is sufficient If there be a Lease for years upon condition that he doe not assign the other accepts the rent of the Afsignee before notice He shall not be bound by that acceptance before notice But if notice may be proved either by the Plaintiff or by any although it be by a meer stranger It is sufficient Yelverton denied that for he said That none but privies can give the notice of it as the case is Et adjournatur Denne and Sparks Case before RIchardson If a will be of lands and goods and that was the occasion of this will the revocation is only tryable at the Common Law But when the will is of goods only the occasion of it shall be tryed only in the Spiritual Court For it is incident to the probate of the will quod fuit concessum And he said that in the case before if the will be not revoked the devise is good at the time and the administration shall be granted as of his goods for the Law will not change the property of the residue after debts and legacies paid Crooke The case here is that the Testator makes his will of his lands and goods and devises the residue of his goods ut supra to his wise his Executrix who dies before probate Denne sues to be administrator as the goods of the first Testator and alleges revocation which because that his Proctor did not goe and swear that in fide Magistri sentence was given against him Vpon that he appeals in which there was the same Obligation and affirmed by the Oath of his Proctor Yet sentence was given against him And a prohibition ought to be granted for three reasons First For that the Will is of Lands and Goods and the occasion of that tryable here Secondly they offer injustice in giving the allegation Thirdly The Wife here dying before the probate the administration ought to be granted as of the goods of the Testator and not as of the wife And also they here would inforce Denne if he had the administration to take it cum testamento annex Which shall be an admittance by him that there was not any revocation Richardson for the first reason he agréed that the revocation shall be tryed by the common law But the goods here are only in question and all the usage and practice is that a prohibition shall be granted with a quoad the lands For the second That they will not allow the allegation If they will not pursue their rules and order of Iustice That is not a cause of a Prohibition but appeal for the third It is fit that there shall be an election if debts and Legacies are owing But it doth not appear here that there are any debts or Legacies to be paid but after Harvey agréed with Crook
and Yelverton And a prohibition was granted Holmes against Chime before PResidents were shewn that such actions were brought scil Hill 3. Car. Elwin against Atkins and Hill 1. Car. Cophin against Cophin both in this Court. And Richardson said although the book makes a doubt of it yet his opinion was that the action would lie For it would be a miserable thing that all things should be shewed precisely And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Port against Yates IN a replevin the case was The Defendant was known as Bayliff to Thomas Kett and the land was Copyhold land And 10 Maii. 3 Car. When it was granted by the Lord of the Mannor to the wife of Thomas Kett. The Plaintiff confesses that the Land is Copyhold land but that the Lord granted 1 Iacob to Robert Salter in Fée who had two daughters the wife of the Plaintiff and the wife of Thomas Kett and dyed seised and that the land descended to them upon which they demurred Berkely The first grant shews that the Defendant was in of all and the descent to the wife but for the moyety whereupon the grant of the whole is not traversed nor confessed and avoided And he cited Dyer 171. Pl. 8. to be the same case in effect and so ruled But Hutton Harvey and Crooke held what difference there was betwéen this case and the case in question Hutton the descent here which is pleaded makes the second grant void But by Richardson although that it be avoided Yet it is not confessed And afterwards for that that upon the whole truth of the matter disclosed It appears that a Copartener cannot distrein the lands of another damage feasant and the matter of form in pleading ought not to be regarded by the Iudges upon the Statute of 21 Eliz. cap. 5. Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Cockett against Delayhay COcket brought an action upon the case in Bristow against Delahay for these words Cockett hath forged a deed and because of that came out of his own Country And the Defendant justifies that he did forge a Déed in Middlesex of lands in Hartfordshire without that that he spoke in Bristowe Richardson said that that plea was naught either with traverse or without the Traverse Whereupon Henden altered his plea scil That he forged a déed of those lands at South Mimms in Middlesex where the lands lie By vertue of which he justified the words at Bristowe Richardson It is a good plea for now the other can plead nothing but de injuria sua propria And then the tryal shall be in Middlesex And by Crooke if there be a Demurrer there shall be a writ of inquiry of damages issue to Bristowe Issue IF the issue be not made up it may be tryed by Proviso But if the Plaintiff neglect that there may be called a non-sute upon the roll for there it shall be discontinued quod nota Page against Tayler PAge brought an Action against Tayler as Receiver c. which was found against him c. And Iudgement was given that he accounted and before the Auditors he pleaded that before the Action brought there was an arbirement that he should pay to the Plaintiff 11 l. in satisfaction of all accounts and demands which he had performed And it was ruled by the whole Court that that was not a good plea in discharge before Auditors but a plea in bar of the account And by Crooke an accord with satisfaction may be pleaded in Bar not in discharge Which the Court seemed to agree And by Crooke If the Defendant had any other matter to shew on the Declaration before Auditors it might be shewn c. Richardson Although that the Arbitrament was made after the action brought it cannot now be pleaded but he ought to have his Andita querela Manninghams case In Manninghams case The doubt was this A condition of an obligation made to Manningham was that he should pay after his death to his Executors after his death 10 l. per annum to the use of the Children of Manningham And Manningham dyed and there was no Executor whether the payment should be to the Administrator and so the obligation forfeited Berkly said that it ought to be payed to the Administrator for an Executor includes an Administrator And this money is as assets if not to satisfie debts yet to perform this case which is illsgal 5 H. 7. 12. 26 H. 8. 7. And also if a man limit a thing to be done to his Executors that may be done to his Administrators So that the nominating of the Executor is not but an expresse intention to whom the money shall be paid viz. to him who presents his person And he compares that to the case of 46. E. 3. 18. A rent upon a condition reserved to the Executors goes to the Administrators 15 E. 4. 14. Dy. 309. Cranmers case Where it seemed that if a lease be made to one for life and after to his Executors for years that the Executors shall not have the term as assets 32. E. 3. A quid juris clamat Fitzharb A Lease for life to his Executors for years in remainder Lessee for life atturns saving the term which proves that the Executor had that as privy not as strangers And he cited Chapmans and Daltons case the principall So that the Infant and the Executors shall have the money in right of the testator and therefore it goes to the Administrator Secondly The Executor extends to an administrator 8. rep 135. there kindes of Executors and an Administrator is an Excecutor datinus 3 H. 6. An action is brought against divers executors by the Statute when some appears upon the distresse it answers that extends to an Administrator although the Statute names only Executors Thirdly It does not appear here that Manningham made not Executors for it may be that he made Executors and that they dyed intestate or before probate And he cited 18. H. 8. And Shelleyes case 1. rep and 33. Eliz. If Executors dye before probate It is in Law a dying intestate Richardson Here is but meer trust and as it hath been said It doth not appear whether he had made Executors or not For if he dye and makes Executors and they dye before probate or refuse he dyes ab intestato but not intestate Nor shall it be questioned if the obligation had been to pay to Manningham only or to him and his Executors But it goes to the administrators But because that he had specially put his Executor Whether he ought to have the forfeiture of the obligation or whether he ought to have the sum to be annually payed to the Administrator Berkley the letters of administration make mention that he dyed ab intestaro Atthow That is matter de hors but by the declaration it is clear that he dyed intestate And the action brought by Administrator who who had not any cause of action Secondly admitt that there was an Executor and the money payed to him that
And for these faults and because it was Body for Body It was ruled that the Indictment was insufent Braces Case If a Feme sole Executrix of a term mary him in the Reversion and dies the term is not drowned but the Administration of it shall be committed Otherwise perhaps if she had purchased the Reversion And it was the Case of one Owen That if the Debtee mary the Debtor That the Debt is not gone but the Administrators of the Feme shall have it The Marquess of Winchesters Case THe Marquess of Winchester prayed a Prohibition and the surmise was that whereas the late Marquess his Father had made the three Lamberts his Executors which were his Bastards He also devised that they should sell as much of his Lauds as should amount to 100000 l. and does not limit any imployment of the mony inde proveniente And also that whereas by the Statute of 34 H. a man de non san memori is unable to make a Will of his Land And that the Marquess at the time of the making of the Will was not of san memori And it was held by the Court that although Land be not a testamentory thing whereof the Spiritual Court ought to intermeddle with Yet being conjoyned in the Will with the Goods they cannot do any thing with the one without the other Therefore a Prohibition shall be granted Because that for the non compos mentis it is more fit to be tryed in our Law And if cause be a Consultation shall be granted for part scil his Goods again And such a Prohibition was in Case of Lloyd against Lloyd Munday against Martin MUnday brought an Action upon the Case against Martin And declares That whereas at the request of the Defendant in November delivered to him and his Father 30 Kerseys for which the Defendant assumed to pay 40 l. to the Plaintiff The one half in hand and the other half a year after Vpon non ●…ssumpsit pleaded It was found by verdict that the delivery was made to the Defendant in August 31 next before the November mentioned in the Declaration The Question if that will maintain the count or not Ward That it will for the delivery in August is the delvery in November As upon payment of mony upon an Obligation before the day is a payment at the day And then if he does not pay it within a year after November he does not pay it with a year after August Richardson on the contrary For that cannot be intended the same promise For upon such a variance the Defendant may wage his Law And so it is if a man declares upon Debt of one day and the Déed bears date at an other day Also it is that the delivery was to the Defendant and his Father and it is found that it was to him only So that that cannot be intended to be the same Consideration Vpon another Cause upon the Declaration he cannot have Iudgement For it is in consideration quod delibera●set which is in the Preter tence and therefore naught As 10 Eliz. Dyer 272. In consideration that he was bayl for his Servant the Defendant assumed Not good 37 38 Eliz. Between Gereny and Goteman in Consideration quod dedisset duas c. he promised to pay 10 l. at the day of his mariage Held no Consideration Crook To the Case of the variance of the date contained in the Deed. There it varies from that which is his warrant And the date in November cannot be the date in August Nor on the contrary The delivery raises the Consideration and the time is not material as to the Delibera●set It was one Warthingtons Case That where in consideration that you will stand my bayl I will save you harmless A good Consideration Hutton For the delivery the time of the contract is not materially necessary to be shewn for certain But the day of the payment ought not to be mistaken as it is here For if the delivery was in November the payment ought to be in November too But it appears by verdict That the delivery was in August And then so the payment ought to be And then consequently the day of payment is mistaken Yelverton The Plaintiff cannot have Iudgement For then he might charge the Defendant again upon a delivery in August Atthowe If upon an Obligation the mony be paid before the day of payment It is a payment at the day if the Obligee dies not in the mean time But I do think that if he dies before that payment cannot be pleaded in an action of Debt brought by the Executors against him Sed adjournatur Sir Iohn Spencer against Scroggs SIr Iohn Spencer brought Debt against Scroggs who pleads per minas The Venire fac●… was returned and the Iurors appear And the Array was challenged by the Defendant for Cosinage between the Sheriff and the Plaintiff Whereupon a new Venire fac was awarded to four Coroners who return the Venire fac and subscribe A. B. C. D. Coronatores And in the Habeas corpus A. B. C. D. only And Iudgement was given And upon that Error It was argued that does not lye First For that it is aided by the Statute of 18 Eliz. That no Iudgement shall be reversed after Iudgement for an insufficient return Also as it appears by 8 H. 6. Such a Return at the Common law made by the Sheriff shall be good although he was not called Sheriff But that Law was afterwards changed And only Sheriffs and Bayliffs of Franchises was provided for By which Coroners were not in Hutton The Statute of 18 Eliz. extends to insufficient matter of the Return But does not intend to toll the Statute of York He said also that he thought it was not requisite at the Common law for the Sheriff to put his name of Office upon the back of the Writ But he demanded how it might appear that they are Coroners if they are not named so Crook It hath been adjudged that Coroners ought to put their name of Office And their names are parcel of the Return So that defective insufficiency is remedied by the Statute of 18 Eliz. Richardson Without putting their names it does not appear that they are Coroners Luvered against Owen HE declares upon the Statute of E. 6. for tithes and an exception was taken For that that it was said tam pro dom rege quam pro se ipso But it was affirm'd to be good For the King is to have a Fine Hutton If an Action be brought upon the Statute de scandalis magnatum The Plaintiff may declare tam pro domino Rege quam pro se ipso And so upon the Statute of Hue and Cry It was objected that one Tomlins Case was adjudged to the contrary But that Case was Because that he demanded in this manner and the Statute when it says that he shall forfeit it shall be intended to him who had the loss So it could not be demanded for the King
agreed clearly that a Covenant to stand seised of as much as should be worth 20 l. per annum is méerly void And so by the Court it was lately adjudged Flower against Vaughan FLower sued Vaughan for tithes of hay which grew upon Land that was heath ground and for tithes of Pidgeons And by Richardson If it was mere waste ground and yeeld nothing it is excused by the Statute of payment of tithes for 7 years But if sheep were kept upon it or if it yeeld any profit which yeeld tithes then tithe ought to be payed As the case in Dyer And for the Pidgeons which were consumed in the house of the Owner he said that for Fish in a Pond Conies Deer it is clear that no tithes of them ought to be paid of right wherefore then of Pidgeons Felony to take Pidgeons out of a Dove-coat quod nemo dedixit and a day was given to shew wherefore a Prohibition should not be granted And the Court agreed that it was Felony to take Pidgeons out of a Dovecoat And afterwards a Prohibition was granted but principally that the Pidgeons were spent by the Owner But by Henden they shall be tithable if they were sold Clotworthy against Clotworthy IN Debt upon Obligation against the Defendant as Heir to Clotworthy scil son of Clotworthy without shewing his Christian name And Iudgement was given against the Defendant upon default and upon that Error brought and that assigned for error and after in nullo est erratum pleaded But Henden moved that it might be amended and he cited one Wosters and Westlys Case Hil. 19. Iac. rot 673. where in a Declaration in Debt upon an Obligation there was omitted obligo me haeredes and after was amended And he said that in this Case the Plea roll was without Commission of the Christian name then by the Court the Plea roll may be amended by the Imparlance roll but not è converso And the Case of the Obligation is the misprision of the Clark But here there was want of instructions Dennes Case IN Dennes Case of the Inner Temple issue was joyned in a Prohibition whether the Will was revoked or not and for a year the Plaintiff does not prosecute nor continue it upon the Iury roll And by the Court now it is in our discretion to permit it to be continued or not which the Prothonotaries agréed Mosses Case IN one Mosses Case in an Assumpsit for debt which was out of the 6 years limited by the Statute of 21 Iac. part within the time If the Iury found for the Plaintiff and taxed dammages severally The Plaintiff recovered for that that is within the time and not for that that was without But if dammages are intirely taxt the Plaintiff cannot have Iudgement of some part Which was granted by the Court. And by Richardson where an Action is brought upon an Assumpsit in Law and the Request is put in which is not more than the Law had done the Request there is not material But where a Request is collateral as in Pecks case there it is material Hutton said that in Pecks Case it was agréed by the whole Court that a Request was material but they conceived that the postea requisitus was sufficient For which afterwards it was reversed in the Kings Bench. Richardson said if one sells an Horse for money to be paid upon Request and no Request is shewn he can never have Iudgment which was not denied Boydens Case BOyden Executer of Boyden brought a scire facias to execute Iudgment given against Butler for the Testator which was directed to the Sheriff upon nihil habet returned testatum a scire fac is directed to the Sheriff of S. who returns Ployden terretenant of the Mannor which Butler was seised of at the time of the Iudgement Ployden appears and demands Oyer of the scire fac and of the return and pleads that long time before A. B. and C. were seised of the Mannor in fee and before the first return makes a feoffment to the use of one Francis Boyden for life who makes a Lease to the Defendant for 80 years And because that Francis Boyden aforesaid is not returned terretenant demanded Iudgement of the writs aforesaid Bramston said that the conclusion here to the writ is naught for a writ shall never be abated where we cannot have a better The matter here is the return of the Sheriff that Mr. Ployden is terretenant to which he makes no answer but by Argument And in all Cases where a special non tenure is pleaded it is used to be a Traverse upon which issue may be taken 8 E. 4. 19. 7 H. 6.16.17 But in our case no issue was taken and here all the matter alleged may be found c. For the matter although general non tenure is no plea yet a special non tenure may be pleaded 7 H. 6. 17. 25. 8 H. 6. 32. In real actions non tenure of a Franktenement is good But here a Chattel is only in question 2ly he may plead non tenure of Franktenement where the Lessee shall be concluded and bound But here here Edw. Boyden is not bound Crawly said that the plea is good and for the matter the difference is between the general and the special non tenure The general non tenure is no plea but in a praecipe quod reddat as it is But a special non tenure is a good plea in a scire facias nomina praecipe 31 H. 6. non tenure 21 Statham scire fac The Plaintiff in a scire fac does not demand Land but execution Yelverton In Holland and Lees Case in the Kings Bench this point It was adjudged that the Writ shall abate Richardson This Writ is a judicial Writ and by that Plea a better Writ given you For where before it was against the Terre-tenants generally he might have now a particular scire fac against Francis Boyden and both waies are good either to demand Iudgement of the Writ or Iudgement of the Court if execution ought to be against him quod concessum per totam curiam And agreed also by the Prothonotaries that a special scire facias might issue against Francis Boyden Turner against Disbury TUrner against Disbury in Trespass Where the Writ was quare domum clausum fregit but the Declaration was quare domum clausum canem molossum cepit which was found for the Defendant And it was moved by Hitcham for the Plaintiff in arrest of Iudgement to prevent costs for it That there is not a material difference between the Original and the Declaration For that that there is more in the Declaration than in the Original And then here is no Original to warrant part of the Declaration But this variance was between the Original it self which remained with the custos brevium and the Declaration For the Original as it was recited in the Declaration according to the usage in this Court agreed with the Declaration
day a procedendo in this case was granted Sir William Cave against Sir William Fleetwood IN debt the Plaintiff had judgement Hill 5 Car. Com. Banc. and a cap. ad satisfac was awarded against the Defendant upon which he was outlawed And Crawley moved that the Plaintiff might have an Elegit and cited 21 H. 7. 19. There are but four manners of Execution Two by the Common law levari and fieri fac And two by the Statute elegit and capias and none of them is a barre to the other unlesse there be satisfaction of it A fieri fac is no barre to the cap. although part of the Debt be satisfied 22 Ass 47. E. 3. Exec. 41. If the party pray execution of the body and had it then he shall not have resort to a new Execution For if the Defendant die in prison it is adjudged in Bloomfields case that the Plaintiff shall have an Elegit which proves that it is the satisfaction the Law looks upon and respects A fieri fac is no barre to the capias although part of the debt be levied by fieri fac and a capias may issue after Secondly the processe is determined by the Outlawry although it be after Iudgement And for that the Plaintiff resorts to his satisfactory execution again 17 E. 4. 4. Execution by Statute does not oust execution by the Common law no more than the execution by one Statute ousts the execution by another Hutton Iustice If upon an Elegit brought it be executed he can never have an execution And if a man be taken upon a capias the party now may have another execution but the outlawry here determines the process and then the Plaintiff by scire fac revives the Iudgement again and he may resort to which process he will If a man had a Iudgement and taken a capias and done nothing upon it but died the Executor is not bound by that But after a scire facias he may have an Elegit or what other execution he will Hudson and Lees case Common Bench The Plaintiff took an Elegit but because he could not upon the Inquisition find sufficient to satisfie he resorted to a capias And it was agréed that he might for that that the Elegit was not awarded upon Record But if an Elegit be awarded by the Roll and so shall be recorded the Plaintiff ought to proceed upon that But the course is not to award it upon the Roll and he said that Bloomfields case is not Law For if the party die in execution by Elegit by capias the Plaintiff had his execution and might not have any execution again And so it was adjudged in Iacksons Case in this Coutt And the making of the Statute of 21 ●…ac shews that so the Law was taken Wollaston Dixye against the Bailiffs and Burgesses of Derby IN a quare impedit the Plaintiff declares that Iustice Beamont was seised in Fée of the Advowson of St. Peters in Derby and presented his Clerk to it who was instituted and inducted c. and dies and that the Advowson descended to H. Beamont his son and heir and he died and the Advowson descended to Barbara his daughter and heir and that she being seised in fée and under the age of 21 years the Church became void and Barbara her Mother who had not any right of presenting presents her Clerk who was instituted and inducted and admitted to it And Barbara the Daughter took the Plaintiff to Husband and became of full age and then the Church became void And because the Bayliffs and Burgesses presented and the Church so full within the six months the husband alone brought that action upon which there was a demurrer Davenport said the action did not lie for the husband alone but the wife ought to joyn with him For that usurpation upon the Infant which he had by descent by the Statute of West the 2d does not turn the Infant to his writ of right Yet the Vsurper gets the inheritance and turns his estate to a right And for that he cited Cook 6. 50. Boswells case and 16. E. 3. there cited Where one seised of a Mannor with an advowson appendant dies his heir within age who suffers an usurpation and then grants the Mannor Resolved that the advowson does not passe because that the heir had but a right in the advowson after the usurpation So in our case the wife had but a title of action and than the wife ought to join As where an obligation is made to a woman who takes a husband the wife ought to joyn with the husband in the action upon the obligation But Henden said that the Husband only might have an action If a feme covert be seised of an advowson in fee and the Church void the Husband only may have an action without question Which was granted by the Court. Then here the wife being of full age before the avoidance now the feme being in possession of the Advowson again to all intents and purposes And for that by the exposition of the Statute of Westminster the force of the usurpation being upon the Infant who had it by descent continued but during the incumbency and non-age of the Infant And it was said by Richardson That the Infant at full age might present and so regain the possession without action at the Common Law by usurpation she was turned to her writ of Right And if it was a purchase he was without remedy Now I demand in this case If there be a death during the avoidance whether the Executor shall have it or the Husband upon tenant by Courtesie And he cited the Lord Stanhops Case which was That the Abbot of the Monastery of Shelford was seised of the advowson in gross and there was an usurpation in the time of the Abbot And then came the Statute of dissolutions which gave a right and title to the King So that that which was in the Abbot was now in the King Afterwards the King grants that Advowson by a general grant without recital of the case And adjudged a good grant But by Hutton Warberton and Winch Iustices were of the contrary opinion to Hubbard But that was because that there are words in the Statute that the Subject shall have all the King had which was to induce purchasers Hutton If it might appear that the Plaintiff scil the Husband presented before the Vsurpation and was disturbed that perhaps would have been a claim and so a remitter For at the Common Law the remedy for an Infant was to present and upon admission and Institution c. of his Clerk he should be remitted or might have a Writ of right if he pleased But by the Court the husband only in this case might have presented And then upon disturbance he only shall have the action But here the Church was full before the presentation Henden said the intention of the Statute was to give to the Infant at full age
case against Iohn Culpepper and Anne his wife for an Assumpsit made by Anne dum sola fuit And afterwards the Assumpsion is found by verdict And Davenport moved in arrest of Iudgement for that that there was not a sufficient consideration for whereas the wife was Administratrix to Goddard her first husband who was indebted to the Plaintiff for so the Plaintiff declared and that he intended to sue the wife as Administratrix and that the wife requested him that two might surveigh the account between her husband and the Plaintiff to which the Plaintiff assented and that two surveighed it accordingly when it appeared that the debt was due and that then the fore-acknowledgement of her husband to be so indebted In consideration of the premises assumed to pay the debt part at Michaelmas and the other part at a convenient time after But there is noe consideration to make her chargeable de bonis propriis as their purpose is to make her by their Declaration against her and not as Administratrix For it is not mentioned that in consideration that she had assetts or that the Plaintiff would forbear to sue her or otherwise c. So that the debt of her husband by the Assumpsit cannot be changed to her own debt And it is not like Banes case Co. Re. 9. 94. For there the Plaintiff was to forbear to sue him and for that assets is not requisite The like is Beeches case 15 Eliz. in that Court reported New Entries fol. 2. Richardson of the same opinion because there is not any consideration nought but the assent of the wise to the accompt which will hardly charge her de bonis propriis See Co. lib. 6 41. Pasch 3. Car. Com Banc. Thomas Ux. against Thomas Newark THomas and his wife brought Trespass against Tho. Newark for beating of the wife and taking of the goods of the husband only ad damnum ipsorum and afterwards the matter was found by verdict and it was moved that the Declaration was nought for the wife cannot joyn for a Trespass done to the husband alone but in a trespass done to the wife alone the husband ought to joyn and for that the Court awarded quod quere●… nil capiat per bill But it was said by Crook and Yelverton if ba●…on and feme bring trespass for the beating the wife the husband may declare for a trespass done to him ad damnum ipsius c. But it was said by Hutton if two joyn in trespass for taking goods whereof they were joyntly possest one of them in an action cannot declare for taking of the goods of him alone Which was agreed by Crook c. Blackhall against Thursby ONe Blackhall petitions in the Court of Requests to compel Thursby Lord of the Mannor to admit him to a Copyhold surrendred to his use which he refused before to doe And also forbad one to whom the Copyhold was demised by Blackhall to pay him any rent Vpon which it was decreed that Thursby should admit him to a Messuage and 17 acres whereas the Copy was of a Messuage and 3 acres and also that Thursby should set forth the bounds of the Copyhold which he had defaced and removed and that he pay the rent Hitcham moved for a prohibition for he said it was more just for a Court of Equity to compel a Lord to admit his Copyholder for before admittance he cannot have an action and he has no remedy at the Common-law And so if a Copyholder removes or defaces the bounds of the Copyhold it is proper for such a Court to design them To which the Court agréed but they would not compell him to admit him to the Messuage and 17 acres where the Copy is but of thrée acres which would be unjust unless that the 3 would comprehend the other 14. But parcel or not parcel of Copyhold belongs to the Common-law to try But the Court denied the prohibition for that cause for the Iustices said that that admittance to 14 acres does not bind the title but it sets at liberty as to that But if they had decreed that he should be admitted and also enjoy it to him and his heirs then the Decree had been unjust and a prohibition for that But for part of the Decree which touch'd the rent It was agreed by the Court if Thursby receive the rents the decree was just that he should pay it but if he did not receive the rents nor take the profits but only forbad the Tenant to pay the rent and he would save him harmless Then if it was decreed that he should pay the rent a prohibition to that part should be granted And Harvey Iustice in that case said That he knew it to be adjudg'd that a surrender with the appurtenances would pass land And of a Messuage and 3 acres would pass more acres if divers Copies successively have been so And upon questioning of Blackhall by the Chief Iustice for saying that after there was a Decree in the Court of Equity an Order of the Common-bench could not supersede the Execution of it And Iustice Yelverton declared That when he was in the circuit at York a poor man who sued before him in forma pauperis was arrested by process from the Council of York And that upon notice of it he commanded a writ of privilege to be made for him but the Officer of the Council would not obey it upon which he claps in a Habeas Corpus returnable at a certain hour and the Officer came without the body and refused to deliver the prisoner and said that he had not power to controll the process of the Council And upon that he set a fine upon him of 40 l. and his Act was approv'd on by the whole Court. For every one that sues before the Assize ought to have free egress and regress and staying while his business was ended And afterwards the Lord President said to Yelverton that he would complain to the King and Privy Council of him for that he had transgressed his authority and power And the Court said that they would justifie it c. Smith against Doctor Clay HEnden moved for Doctor Clay Viccar of Hallifax that a prohibition might be granted to the High Commissioners of York For that that these Articles by one Smith were preferred against him c. First that he read the holy Bible in an irreverent and undecent manner to the scandal of the whole Congregation Secondly that he did not doe his duty in preaching but against his Oath and the Ecclesiastical Canon had neglected for sundry mornings to preach Thirdly that he took the Cups and other Vessels of the Church consecrated to holy use and employed them in his own house and put barm in the Cups that they were so polluted that the communicants of the Parish were loath to drink out of them Fourthly that he did not observe the last fast proclaimed upon the Wednesday but on the Thursday because it was an Holyday
for a Legacy and that upon the Statute of 23 H 8. cap. 9. And Henden said that a Prohibition might not be granted for two causes First The Statute is general That no person c. then there is a proviso That this Statute does not extend to any probate of Wills in the Prerogative Court Then a Legacy cannot be recovered in any other Court. For if a Will be proved there no inferiour Ordinary will meddle with that Will and alwaies they had the execution of all Wills proved there in that Court Secondly It is pretended that the party is cited out of a particular Iurisdiction But that is not a Iurisdiction within this Statute For no Iurisdiction is intended but where there is an Ordinary But in the Tower of London there is no Ordinary But it is but as a Lord of a Mannor who had probate of Wills which is but a lay Iurisdiction c. Thirdly There is no Ecclesiastical Iurisdiction there But Davenport replyed That although for the present time no Ecclesiastical Iurisdiction is executed there because the Lord is dead Yet Spiritual Iurisdiction is executed there Hutton said If there he cause de bonis notabilibus Then the Archbishop had the Prerogative and might cause the proving of the Will But it stood with reason That where an Executor is tyed to perform the Will which may be there sued and the property of sute ought to be there where there is cause of Prerogative Harvey If there be cause of Prerogative and proof of the Will in the Prerogative Court Yet in the inferiour Iurisdiction the party will be compelled to prove the Will also But by Crook and Hutton minus juste An Action of Battery AN Action of Battery is brought against two and one dies before tryall and it was entred upon the Roll But the Venire facias was awarded against both and dammages assest And by Yelverton it cannot be amended For it was not the Act of the Court but of the Iury So that now dammages cannot be severed For although he may have the entire dammages against which he will yet if they be severd you will then oust him of his Election Quod non fuit negatum A Prohibition IN a Motion for a Prohibition where the Ordinary would make distribution It was agréed Richardson being absent That if the Ordinary commits Administration to the Wife of the Intestate that he cannot revoke that But if he grant Administration to one as Prochein de Sank and another more near of Blood comes He may revoke And because the Administration being granted all the power of the Ordinary is determined and then he cannot make distribution And if the Administration be one time justly granted the Grantée had a just Interest which cannot be revoked And although it was urged that those Prohibitions were not granted untill of late time yet they say those things passed Sub silentio Yelverton They cannot grant Admistration before a division was made And by Crook and Harvey An Action upon the Case lyes against the Ordinary if he will not grant Administration where he ought And at an other day it was moved by Finch Recorder That such a Prohibition could not issue in one Davyes Case And Richardson said That because that that Case was a Case of Extremity For Davyes had not any thing or portion allotted him by his Father who was dead And his Mother who was Administratrix turned him out of her House without any maintenance stopped the Prohibition which was granted before And said that it was in the discretion of the Court to grant such a Prohibition or not But Harvey and Crook said secretly betwéen themselves that it was not in the discretion of the Court. Garton against Mellowes AN action of Battery was brought by Garton against Mellowes And the Plaintiff pleaded a Recovery by the same Plaintiff for the same Battery in the Kings Bench against another who joyned in the Battery And the Piaintiff replies Nul tiel Record Vpon which they were at issue and the Record was brought in at the day assigned And these variances were objected for to make it fail of a Record And first The award of the Dist jurat in the Kings Bench is Coram domino Rege and there it was Coram domino nuper rege But not allowed For the King died before the Plea there and then it ought to be so pleaded Secondly That in one Record the Plaintiff is Generosus in the other Armiger Brampston said That that was such a variance which could not be amended Dyer 173. One recovers in debt by the name of I. Cives and Sadler And the Defendant brought Error and removes the Record inter I. Civem Salter c. And it was rul'd that the Record was not well removed upon that Writ Dyer 178. Plo. 8. Vpon Nul tiel Record there was a variance in the day of the Return of the Exigent and in the place where the Outlary was pronounced And adjudged a variance which could not be mended And now here there cannot be an amendment because it is after tryall And by amendment there might be a cause of changeing the Plea For he took that Issue by reason of the variance and after verdict there cannot be an amendment Mich. 2 Jac. Kings Bench Tayler and Fosters Case In an Ejectione firm upon a Lease made 10 Iunii and upon not guilty pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff And in Error it was assigned for error that the Imparlance roll was 10 Iunii and Issue roll the 12 Iunii and it appeared there was a rasure And it was agréed that if it was after verdict it could not be amended Atthowe This variance is not substantiall And the cases put do not make to this case For Salter and Sadler are two severall Trades And it cannot be intended the same man for he may vary in his action as he pleases But the Court said nothing to that Exception Thirdly In the Record of Nisi prius there was another fault It was agréed that a Material variance cannot be amended Yelverton said That he might have new Execution For he pleaded a recovery and execution in Bar and that they came to take whereof he had failed For that it stood now as another battery For it does not appear by the Declaration of the Plaintiff c. Smith against Sacheverill AN Action of Wast is brought by Smith against Henry Sacheverill and declares Whereas Henry Sacheverill the Grandfather was seised of these Lands he levyed a Fine of them to the use of himself for life with power to make a Lease for three lives and after to Smith his son for his life the remainder to the first begotten son of Smith in tayle The Grandfather makes a Lease for three lives and dyes and Smith and his first begotten son bring this Action of Wast against the Lessee and they assigne their wast in killing red Deer in a Park and upon nul wast pleaded it was
found for the Plaintiff and Finch Recorder moved in arrest of Iudgement first for that they assigne the wast in a Park where the wast is in Land c. Secondly Because that that Action did not lye for them both alike for if the Grandfather and he in the remainder in tayle had joyned in a Lease yet they could not joyne in wast The Books are If Tenant for life and he in the remainder joyn in a Lease they may also joyn with wast 21 H. 8 14. Although 19 H. 7. be put otherwise And 2 H. 5. Sir William Langfords Case Two joynt Tenants to the Heirs of one of them and they make a Lease for life And it was adjudged that they might joyn in wast for the Tenant for life had a reversion for life and had not made any Forfeiture If the Grandfather and he in remainder had joyned in a Lease and afterwards in wast it had been naught for the lease came out of the first root And it was resolved Tr. 2 Jac. Kings Bench Poole and Browses Case That one in remainder cannot have wast where there is an intermediate Estate for life Yelverton and Hutton did not believe the Case of 2 Jac. Crook If there be Tenant for life with such a power c. of Lands held in capite he may make Leases for life without Licence of Alienation and well proves this cause Yelverton and Hutton For the wast being assigned in a Park it is good for a Park is Land Sed adjournatur Hodges against Franklin TRover and Conversion is brought by Hodges against Franklin The Defendant pleads sale of the Goods in Marlborough which is a Market overt and the Bar was well pleaded and an Exception was taken For that that it is not said that Toll was payed It was said by Hutton That there are divers places where no Toll is to be paid upon sale in Market And yet the property is changed and Iudgement accordingly Grimston against an Inn-keeper IN an Action upon the Case it was said at the Bar and not gain-sayed That they ought to say in the Declaration Trasiens hospitavit for if he board or sojourn for a certain space in an Inne and his Goods are stollen the Action upon that is not maintainable And for omission although the Verdict was given for the Plaintiff Iudgement was given Quod nihil capiat per billam upon fault of the Declaration and he paid no Costs Wilkins against Thomas IT was said by the whole Court That a consideration is not traversable upon an Assumpsit but they ought to plead the generall issue and the Consideration ought to be given in Evidence Ireland against Higgins IReland brought an Action upon the Case against Higgins for a Greyhound and counts that he was possessed ut de bonis suis propriis and by Trover came to the Defendant and in consideration thereof promised to re-deliver him It seemed to Yelverton that the Action would not lye and the force of his Argument was that a Grey-hound was de fera natura in which there is no property sed ratione fundi live Deer and Coneys and vouchd 3 H. 6. 56. 18 E. 4. 24. 10 H. 7. 19. for a Hawk for Hares are but for pleasure but Hawks are Merchandable This difference in 12 H. 8. is allowed so long as a Dogge is in the possession of a man an Action of Trespasse lyes detinue or replevin But no Action if he was out of his possession and so had not a property then there is no consideration which is the foundation of an Action Hutton to the contrary and said the whole argument consisted upon false grounds as that a Dogge is ferae naturae Which if it were so he agreed the difference in 12 H. 8. But he intended that a Dogge is not ferae naturae for at first all Beasts were ferae naturae but now by the industry of man they are corrected and their savagenesse abated and they are now domesticae and familiar with a man as Horses and a tame Deer if it be taken an Action lyes Rogers of Norwich recovered Damages pro molosso suo interfecto And 12 H. 8. So of a Hound called a Blood-hound And a Dogge is for profit as well as for pleasure For a Dogge preserves the substance of a man in killing the Vermine as Foxes And now is not an Horse for the pleasure of a man for a man may goe on foot if he will and an Horse is meat for a man no more than a Dogge Therefore an Action may lye for the one as for the other And for a Hawk he ought to shew that it was reclaimed for they are intended ferae naturae One justifies in 24 Eliz 30. for a Battery because he would have taken away his Dogge from him A Repleavin was brought for a Ferret and Nets and a Ferret is more ferae nat than a Dogge Seale brought 25 Eliz. Trespass for taking away his Blood-hound and there it was said to be well laid And then now if he has a property the consideration is good enough to ground an Assumpsit It is adjudged that a feme dowable The heir promises to endow her before such a day and the Action is maintainable upon that by the Court Intraturudic pro quer if no other matter were shewed by such a day Jenkins Case HE brought an Action upon a promise to the Plaintiff That if he marryed her with the assent of her Father she would give him 20. l. Adjudged a good consideration by the Court. 3 Car. rot 414 Sir Edward Peito against Pemberton SIr Edward Peito is Plaintiff against Pemberton in a Replevin and the Defendant was known as Bayliff to H. Peito and said that H. Peito the Grandfather had granted a Rent for life to H. Peito the Son to commence after his death The Plaintiff confesses the grant but sayes that after the death of Peito the Grandfather these Lands out of which the Rent issued descended to Peito the father who made a Lease for a thousand years to the Grantee and dyes The Avowant confesses the Lease but sayes that before the last day of payment he surrendred to the Plaintiff Vpon which there was a Demurer and the question was whether the surrender of the Lease would revive the rent Harvey If he had assigned the Lease to a stranger the rent had been suspended 5 H. 5. One grants a rent charge who had a reversion upon a Lease for life to commence immediately there the question was when the Lease was surrendred whether the rent now became in esse because that the Lease which privileged the Land from distresse is now determined in the hands of the Grantor himself Crook If the Grantor had granted reversion to a stranger and the surrender had been to him It was clear that the suspension had been for the term Hutton If a man seised of a rent in Fee takes a Lease of Lands out of which c. for years and dyes the
