Indictment of the Trespasse and the party maketh the Obligation to another by the direction of the Sheriffe upon this condition as the Statute prescribes for the suerty of the Sheriffe c. and there it is holden that the Obligation is void because the Statute prescribes that the Obligation shall be made to the Sheriffe and that is part of the essentiall forme and so if the Sheriffe add to the condition that he shall be kept harmelesse against the King and the Plaintiffe c. this is void so if a Gaoler or a Sheriffe take an Obligation of the person with condition to be true Prisoner or to pay for his meat and drinke So if the Sheriffe add any other thing to the matter prescribed by the Statute as to pay such a Sum of money for a Horse c. This condition maketh all the Obligation void for it is taken in another forme touching the substance of the matter then is prescribed by the Statute but in Pasche 27. Eliz. in the Kings Bench in an Action of Debt brought by Sir William Drury late Sheriffe of Suffolke upon an Obligation of 20. l. against A. B. it appeared that the Defendant was solely bound in the same and with condition that one Moore who the Sheriffe had arrested upon a Latitat should appeare in person at the day contained in the Writ the Defendant pleaded the Statute 23. H. 6. and that the obligation was made in other forme then is mentioned in the Statute whereupon the Plaintiffe demurred in Law and it was Objected that there were 3. variances from the Statute Viz. one in the Obligation and two in the condition First in the Obligation for that there was but one surety and the Statute prescribes reasonable surety of sufficient persons in the Plurall number having sufficient within the said County c. in which case there ought to be two Sureties at the least and the Plurall number cannot be satisfied with the Singular number and so contrary to the words of the Statute And so was the Opinion of Mountegue Chiefe Justice of the common Place in the Case of Dive and Manningham Also in the condition that the Prisoner should appeare in person where the words of the Statute are that he should appeare generally without these words in person 2. That he should appeare at the day c. Ad respondendum where these words Ad respondendum are more then the Statute prescribes and therefore the Obligation is void c. but it was resolved by Sir Christopher Wray Sir Thomas Gaudy and all the Court that the Obligation was not void by the said Act. For to the first The words reasonable surety of sufficient persons are added for the surety of the Sheriffe and therefore if he will but take one surety be it at his perill for he shall be amerced if the Defendants appeare not and therefore the Statute doth not make void the Obligation in this Case for the same Branch that requires the forme requires also that the Obligation shall be made to the Sheriffe himselfe by the name of his Office and that the Prisoners should appeare in which clause no mention is made of the sureties so as the intent of the Act was that in so much as it was at the perill of the Sheriffe to leave to his discretion to take one or more for his indemnity and although the sureties have not sufficient within the same County as the Statute mentioneth yet the Obligation is good For these words of the Act as to this point are more for councell or direction of the Sheriffe then for precept or constraint to him and that for the safety of the Sheriffe for if the Defendant cannot find two sufficient persons having sufficient within the same County the Sheriffe is not bound to let him to Baile and this resolution agreeth with the ancient rule Quilibet potest reminutiare juri per se introducto And as concerning the second Additions to the condition of the said Obligation more then is in the Statute It was resolved that true it is there is a Verball difference of the forme prescribed by the Statute but not in the substance and effect for he that is so letten to Baile ought to appeare in person for so much is implyed in the words of the Act shall appeare and by the common Law every Tenant or Defendant ought to appeare in propper person and with this accordeth Fitz. Na. br 25. and he that ought to appeare ought to appeare Ad respondend parum differunt quae re concordant est ipsorum legistlatorum tanquam viva vox rebus non verbis legem imponere vide Dier 21. Eliz. 364. where the condition was in the conjunctive appeare and answer and yet the obligation good 27. Eliz. in Darby Hethcot if a Gaoler or Sheriffe for ease or inlargement of any Prisoner take promise to save him harmelesse that although the Statute speaketh onely of Obligations with condition yet it is an equall mischiefe And Wray Chiefe Justice said that the Statute should serve for small or nothing if the premises should not be taken to be within the Statute and the latter clause is generall Viz. If the Sheriffe take any Obligation in the other forme that it shall be void and within the equity of these words any Obligation an assumpsit is comprehended for the ancient Verses are Verba ligant homines taurorum cornua bones Cornu bos capitur voce ligatur homo Quando verba Statuti sunt specialia ratio autem generalis generaliter Statutum est intelligendum It was said that the Assumpsit did not bind the Prisoner at the common Law because the consideration was against the Law vide Dyer 19. Eliz. Oneleys Case Alfridus Denbawds Case 10. Jacobi fol. 102. In Error ONe Jury onely appeared at the Assizes to try an Issue in Trespasse a Tales de circumstantibus is awarded at the Prayer of the Plaintiffe the title of which was Nomina decem Talium and verdict and judgement was given against the Defendant who brings Error It was Objected 1. That the judgement was erroneous for the Title being Nomina 10. Talium the Sheriffe cannot returne 11. 2. Because the Statute speaketh with those persons that were before impannelled which cannot be satisfied where one onely appeareth as the Statute of Westm 2. c. 11. is not satisfied with one Auditor so of the Statute of Merton c 3. of Redisseisin It was resolved that the Tales was well awarded for the Statute shall be taken beneficially in favour of speedy Trialls and the title is the misprision of the Shetiffe which shall be amended The time of granting the Tales is when so many of the Jurors make default that the inquest cannot be taken if two of the principall pannell appeare and at the Prayer of the Plaintffe 12. de Circumstant are returned and then the two principalls are withdrawne now the triall shall be all by the 12. de circumstant but

the Lord Dyer made a Quaere of that if one of the Jurors die before Verdict be given a Tales shall be granted he who is meerly a Defendant cannot pray a Tales untill default be made by the Plaintiffe the number ought to be under the number in the principall pannell except in an appeale because there the Defendant may challenge peremptorily the number shall be diminished in every new Tales and they ought to be of the same quality with the former as if the principall pannell were Per medietatem linguae so shall the Tales be Justices of Assize shall not award a Tales de circumstantibus in an Assize for the Statute of 35.

Jacobi fol. 106. In debt upon Bond. D. Leased for a yeare to H. L. and if the parties shall please to renue the terme at the end of that yeare that he shall have for three yeares rendring 40 l. per annum H. L. bindeth himselfe to performe Covenants and faileth of payment of 20 l. at Christmas Quarter D. bringeth debt It was resolved for the Plaintiffe It was objected against the action 1. That the reservation was upon a contingency if the terme shall revive 2. Because the reservation is durante termino praedicto Viz. the last terme 3. The reservation shall be taken strictly because the words of the Lessor But it was resolved that the reservation extendeth to the first yeare for the proper place of a reservation is after the limitation of the estate as if a Lease be made with diverse remainders over reserving Rent this goeth to all and although the second terme be in contingency yet the first is certaine and Termino praedicto signifieth both the termes for it is Nomen collectivum and the reservation shall be taken reasonably according to the intent of the parties Tenant in taile of an Acre in borough English and of another by the Common Law by an Oxe dyeth having issue two Sons the service shall not be increased And Increase is onely betweene very Lord and very Tenant for there may be an increaser but not where there is a reservation or if the Seigniory be by Deed and services are reserved within time of memory for he shall have no more then he himselfe reserved In the Case at Barre in respect the obligation was forfeited the Court moved the Plaintiffe to take his arrerages costs and damages with which he was contented and so no judgement was given Arthur Legats Case in subversion of pestilent Patents of theevish Concealors 10. Jacobi fol. 109. in Communi Banco THe King ex certa scientia c. grants fifteene Acres as concealed which were parcell of a Mannor of the profits whereof the King was answered Nothing passeth 1. Resol If the King were answered of the old Rent of the Mannor and the Fermors c. suffer one to intrude in part this is not concealed 2. The grant is voyd for quae quidem c. is the suggestion of the party 2. This is a clause of restraint and nothing passeth which is not concealed 3. The King did not intend to diminish his Revenue which will be if the grant be good 4. The clause quae quidem hath a double conjunctive concelata detenta and Land cannot be detained from the King 3. Ex mero motu c. aydeth it not 4. If the Officers of the King may by matter of Record have notice of putting the Land in charge in Court of Record and doe it not yet this is not concealed and if the clause quae quidem be added for more certainty the grant shall not be vicious by it if it be false as if a Mannor be granted quod quidem was in the tenure of I. S. where it was not this is good If one substract or take the Kings Rents this is not concealed for the King may charge him as Baily and the Law will make a privity See the Statute of 4. H. 4 cap. 4. called in the Rolle Brangwyn in English White Crow And it was sayd that Perpetuities Monopolies and Patents of concealement were borne under one unfortunate constellation for as soone as they came in question judgement was ever given against them and none ever for them and they have all two inseperable qualities Viz. to be troublesome and fruitlesse Robert Pilfolds Case 10. Jacobi fol. 115. THe Plaintiffe in trespasse counts to damages of 40 l. and at the Nisi prius the Jury assessed for damages 49 l. and 20 s. costs at the day in banke hee released 9 l. parcell of the damages and had judgement of 40 l. and 10 l. for costs de incremento the defendant brings error because the damages and costs surmount the summ in the Count but judgement was affirmed for in reall actions before the Statute of Glocester 6. E. 1. cap. 1. no damages were recoverable but in personall actions and mixt they were and by that Statute a man shall have costs in all cases where he recovers damages Viz. before or by the same Statute therefore if after this damages are given where they were not at the Common Law costs shall not be recovered as in a Quare impedit but if a Statute after this give double or treble damages where damages and costs were by the common Law there the Plaintiffe shall recover the damages increased and costs also but in waste against tenant for life costs shall not be recovered for although that this Statute was at the same Parliament yet it was an act of Creation and therefore no costs And true it is that damages include costs in a generall sense but in the count it is taken for damages before the action brought in a relative signification therefore expensae litis may be added to it although he count not of them as a man shall doe in reall actions without counting of them because he shall recover them pending the Writ In entrie sur disseisin the Plaintiffe shall recover damages from the disseisin to the Writ of Inquiry c. and if the issue be tryable by verdict c. to the verdict but in a Praecipe of Rent of his owne possession hee shall recover all arreares to the judgement Judgement affirmed by all Cheyneyes Case 10.

Eliz. in Parliament fol. 1. THOMAS la Ware great Grandfather of the now Lord in 3. H. 8. was summoned to the Parliament by Writ and by 3. E. 6. it was enacted that William the Father of the now Lord Thomas shall be disabled to claime any dignity during his life notwithstanding W. was called to Parliament by Q. Elizabeth and sat as Puisne Lord and dyed and Thomas now Lord sued in Parliament to the Q. to be restored to the place of his Great-Grandfather that is betwixt the Lord Barkly and the Lord Willoughby of Eresby and resolved that he should be restored for his Fathers disability was not absolute by attainder but onely temporary and personall during his life and the acceptance of the new Dignity shall not hurt the Petitioner the Father being then disabled and an Esquire onely so that when the old and new Dignity descend together the old shall be preferred which resolutions by the Judges was well approved of by the Lords Committees and after confirmed by the Queene Auditor Curles Case 7. Jacobi fol. 2. QUeene Elizabeth grants Officium unius Auditorum Curiae Wardorum to W. T. and W. C. for life eorum diutius viventi the K. grants it in reversion to I. C. I. T. I. C. dyeth the K. grants it in reversion to R. P. W. T. dyeth 1. Resolved the grant of the Office Vnjus auditorum c. is good to two and the survivor of them for 32. H. 8. c. 46. maketh the two Auditors one Officer and the word Vnjus is not numerative but denoteth the unity of the Office 2. In such a grant the words eorum diutius viventi are not void for otherwise by the death of one of them the interest of both would be ended but now the survivor remaines auditor and another shall be added to him and till another is added to him his voice in Court is suspended because by the Statute there must be two so if the K. grant by a Patent to one and by another to another this is good and untill the second is added the first hath no voice in Court 3. The Nomination of Auditors ought to be under the Great Seale 4. This Office cannot be granted in reversion 1. Because it is judiciall and one cannot be Judge in futuro and perhaps he was sufficient at the time of the grant but not when it takes effect 2. Although it be in part judiciall and in part ministeriall yet it is intire and although ministeriall Offices may be granted in futuro yet this cannot because it is inseparably judiciall also for the K. cannot grant the judiciall part to one or two and the ministeriall to others 3. If the grant be good as to the ministeriall part yet it shall not take effect now because one of the ancient Officers is living and if he should exercise the ministeriall part with the survivor there would be three Offices 5. He who surviveth remaines Auditor yet had no voice in Court untill the King add another to him 6. The grant to P. is void 1. Because in reversion 2. Because it reciteth a void grant to I. C. and I. T. as good and so the K. is deceived in his grant Sir John Heydons Case 10. Jacobi fol. 5. SIr J. H. brings trespasse against F. C. T. C. I. C. F. C. appeareth against whom the Plaintiffe declareth with Simul cum c. who pleads Non culp so doth T. C. which issues were tried severally and the issue betweene the Plaintiffe and F. C. was first tried and damages assessed to 200. l. and the other against T. C. 50. l. I. C. appeares and confesseth the Action a Writ of inquiry of damages is awarded but none issued judgement for the Plaintiffe and affirmed in Error 1. Resolved in trespasse against diverse who plead Non cul or severall Pleas which are found in all for the Plaintiffe damages shall not be assessed severally although one did more wrong then another because the trespasse is intire and the Act of one is the Act of all but if they be found guilty at severall times they may and if the Plaintiffe confesse the trespasse to be at severall times the Writ shall abate 2. If two trespassors pleade severally both shall be bound with the damages taxed by the first Jury and the other shall have an attaint although he be a Stranger to the issue because he is privy to the charge if one of them after appearance make default a Writ of inquiry shall be awarded to save a discontinuance but none shall issue because he shall be contributory to the damages taxed by the Jury who tryed the other issue and the other shall not be charged in damages assessed upon a Writ whereupon he can have no attaint but if the other issue be found against the Plaintiffe then it shall issue 3. Although there was a discontinuance against I. C. because in the common place where the Action was brought there is no continuance after a Writ of inquiry otherwise it is in the Kings Bench yet it is aided by the Statute of 32. H. 8. c. 30. 4. If two Juries give a Verdict at one time the Plaintiffe shall have judgement De melioribus damnis if he will but fiat nisi unica executio in trespasse against diverse who plead severall pleas triable by the same Jury if the Jury sever the damages all is vitious Priddle and Nappers Case 10. Jacobi fol. 8. THe Plaintiffe in a prohibition declareth that the Prior of M. was seised of 22. acres and of a rectory time out of mind c. untill the dissolution c. and so for all that time held them discharged of Tithes and conveys the said 22. acres from the King to himselfe and that the Defendant Proprietarius rectoriae praedict sued the Plaintiffe for Tithes the Defendant traverseth the prescription of discharge the Jury found that the Prior time out of c. was seised of the said 22. acres and of the advowson of the Rectory and did appropriate it by License 20. H. 8. the Incumbent then being living who dyeth and that the Prior held it united to the dissolution judgement for the Plaintiffe 1. Resolved although that every Church parochiall is supposed to be presentative yet the Plaintiffe may plead that the Prior c. time out of c. were Rectors of it for this amounts to so much that it was impropriated but he needs not shew how because before time of memory but the conclusion of the prescription of unity Viz. Ratione cujus he was discharged of tithes was not good for Land is not discharged of Tithes by unity

Quod computet ideo in misericordia quia prius non computavit and before finall Judgement Error is brought 1. Resol It lyeth not 1. Because the Writ of Error saith Si juditium inde redditum sit which shall be intended of the principall Judgement as the Feast of St. M. shall be intended the principall Feast and the Feme shall be received upon default of her Baron after judgement of admeasurement before the principall judgement 2. It shall be intended an intire judgement therfore in an action against two if one plead to the issue and the other confesseth and judgement given against him he shall not have error before the Plea determined against the other for otherwise there would be a failer of right for the Kings Bench cannot proceed upon the Record nor the Common place because it is removed 3. The first judgement is not ad grave damnum for by that he looseth nothing but judgement of the arrearages and damages is the end of the originall 4. This is not properly a Judgement but an Award of the Court as ouster of ayde in partitione facienda an awarde quod partitio fiat c. which are but interlocutory and not definitive 5. They have day by the Roll untill the last judgment but if a Felon dye after the exigent awarded and before attainder a Writ of Error lyeth for necessity for otherwise his goods are forfeited by awarding of the exigent without remedy if diverse are sued by severall Praecipes and Judgement given against one he shall have error before judgement given against the other and if error be in the originall the tenor onely shall be certified for otherwise the Court cannot proceede against the others 2. It was Resolved That the Record is not removed because untill finall Judgement be given the Chiefe Justice of the Common place hath no authority to send it and they may proceed notwithstanding the Roll be marked Mittitur Richard Godfreys Case 12.

Resol The Fine is not well assessed for it ought to be severall and not joynt as it is because the offence is severall and although that the offence be joynt yet the Fine shall be severall as in disseisin and trespasse But for the incertainty of the persons and infinitenesse of the number many may be fined together as a Towne for the escape of a Felon and the reasonablenesse and excessivenesse of the Fine shall be determined by the Judges Excessus in re qualibet jure reprobatur communi as excessive distresse excessive ayde and excessive amerciament are against the Common Law 2. If the Fine be imposed erroneously it may be avoyded by Plea for he had no other remedy 3. The Lord cannot distraine pro certo Letae without prescription because it is against common right but he may for a Fine or amercement but for an amercement in a Court Baron the Lord must prescribe a Fine because it is assessed by the Court needs not to be affered but an amercement must be affered by the Countrey 4 Admitting that he may distraine pro certo Letae he shall have a returne although hee had not cause to distraine for the Fine for where one brings an Action for two things and it will not lie for one of them it shall abate onely for that if he cannot have a better action for it but if he may it shall abate for the whole as in a Formedon of Land and of an advowson the Writ shall stand for the Land so if a man avow for diverse Rents arreare and it appeareth that parcell is not yet due yet the avowry is good for the residue but if a man bring a Writ of Entry in nature of an Assize of two Acres where it appeareth that for one Acre he ought to have a Writ of Entry in the per there all shall abate for this extends not to the action but to the Writ onely Richard Lifords Case 12.

P. excepting Trees above twenty one yeares growth if not decayed for their lives and covenanted to stand seized de tenementis predictis cum pertinentijs superius dimissis to the use of R. L. in taile c. and the Defendant as Servant to the sayd R. L. entered and sold Trees and Judgement was given against the Plaintiffe 1. Resol That the Trees notwithstanding the exception remaine parcell of the inheritance and are not Chattels but shall descend to the Heire for the Law doth not favour severance of the Trees from the Land therefore if one bargaine and sell Land upon which there are Trees they shall not passe without inrolement 2. If there had not been such an exception the generall interest of them is in the Lessor and the Lessee had but a particular interest in them and the Lessor may sell them without license of the Lessee to take effect after the Lease determined and tithes shall not be payd for them because they are parcell of the inheritance 2. By the exception of them the soile is not excepted but onely so much as sustaineth the Tree and if he by licence of the lessee root them up the lessee shall have the soile but by exception of Wood the Land it selfe is excepted if an Acre or an advowson be severed from the Mannor by exception upon a Lease for life it shall not be parcell of the Mannor againe otherwise of trees for they were not severed in facto because they grow out of the Land 3. A thing in possession cannot be parcell of a reversion upon an estate for life but Trees which grow out of the Land and Fish or Deer in the Land may and shall passe with it

The statute doth not regard this seck reversion but inheritances of annuall value Resp To the first that this reversion shall hinder the devise by the words of the Statute for he had a reversion of Lands holden but although the Statute saith that he may alien two parts by act executed or will if he alien to one of the three uses by act executed he may devise the reversion for the Statute is to be intended of an intire Alienation and where the Statute saith in reversion or remainder it is to be intended that the devisor be seised of such a remainder which drawes wardship To the second it was answered that things which of their nature are seck are out of the Statute but not things which of their nature are of annuall value but are not of value in respect of some Lease or gift Absque abliquo inde reddendo and therefore seck reversions are devisable by the said Statutes but if they be not yet they shall hinder the devises of other Lands To make one able to devise by those Statutes the time of Having Holding and disposing must concurre and therefore if a grant to the second Sonne here had beene in fee although with power of revocation the devise had been good because he had no Lands In Capite at the time of the devise if the Father conveyeth his Land to the use of his younger Sonne the eldest being within age after the death of his Father he shall be in ward although nothing discend A true Child and not in reputation is within the Statute and if the Sonne purchase Land Bona fide of his Father this is out of the Statute because it is not for his advancement If Tenant in socage devise and after purchase Land in Chivalry the devise is void for a third part but if Tenant in Chivalry and socage devise all and after aliens the Land holden this is good To make division that the King shall have a third part holden the Lands shall be taken according to their value at the time of the death of the Devisor The time of provision that a third part must discend needs not concurre with the time of alienation but it is sufficient that he had it at the time of his death The estate to any of the three purposes ought to continue to the time of death and the Tenure must till after death to make it within the Statute and the estate also of Lands holden ought to continue after death therefore if Tenant in taile in Capite devise socage Land and dye without issue this is good so privity must continue after death therefore if he who made the conveyance be attainted this is out of the Statute The uses to the second Sonne are in contingency and not executed by 27. H. 8. by the power to make Leases and devise reserved to the feoffor and therefore the fee is in the feoffor in the meane time so that having disposed of it and being seised of it he cannot devise the Land purchased after It was Objected that the Statute saith lawfully executed in his life but here no use was to be executed in the second Sonne untill after his death It was Answered that after his death the uses were derived out of the feoffement and so are as it were executed in his life It was holden by the Chiefe Justice that the remainder to the second Sonne is contingent in regard no alienation is found to be made by the Eldest and if there had been then it would be repugnant that after alienation the Land should remaine to the second Sonne and so Quacunq via data the remainder as this Case is cannot vest in him but this point was not resolved by the Court. 2. The revocation is good although the Indenture precedeth the feoffement and that the uses are in contingency and that the revocation is but in part and the Chiefe Justice held that the Eldest Sonne had but a terme determinable and the second an estate taile But in this the Kings Bench and Common pleas differ in Opinion and that if Lands be devised to one and the Heires of his body for 500. yeares the Executors shall have it and not the Heire and the devisee may alien it for it cannot be intailed and so in Peacocks Case 28.

Because he is not bound to shew the Letters Patents It was answered that colour shall not be given for colour shall not be given where the plea goeth to the barre of the right for it would be in vaine to give colour of right and to barre him if he had right as if a collaterall warranty fine Statute be pleaded or if he claimes by a waife otherwise where he pleads a discent for this doth not barre the right but the possession he who claimes by sale in a Market overt shall not give colour if he pleads generally but if he pleads that I. S. was possessed as of his owne goods and sold them in a Market overt or waived them there he shall give colour because he confesseth no interest in the Plaintiffe 2. If the Defendant claimes by the Plaintiffe he shall not give colour 3. If the plea be to the Writ or action of the Writ no colour shall be given 4. Colour shall not be given in case of Tithes for to whomsoever the Lands belong the Tithes belong to the Parson 1. Colour ought to be a doubt to the Laygents 2. It must have continuance 3.

Because the Law will never adjudge a grant good by reason of such a forraine possibility for 't is potentia remotissima vana and by intendment nunquam venit in actum 3.

Feoffment Lease c. is to expresse the grantor the grantee and the thing granted And the office of the habendum is to limit the estate so that the generall implication of the estate which should passe by the premisses is alwayes controlled and qualified by the habendum as a Lease to two habendum to the one for life the remainder to the other for life here the generall implication of joyntenancy is altered and the habendum is not contrary to the premisses for in the premisses no certaine estate is passed and the grant being voyd at the beginning the attornement after Midsommer shall not make the reversion to passe For quod ab initio non valet tractu temporis non convalescet Resolved that when the grantee entered by colour of this voyd grant he was a disseisor but when the grant is good at commencement but is to have its perfection by an act subsequent as livery or attornement and the grantee enters before the perfection c. he is not a disseisor but a tenant at will And if the Fine had been levied to the disseisor come ceo c.

Resolved if the grantee in fee or for life of a rent service or charge after 't is arreare grants over the tenant attournes the grantor dyes his Executors are not within the Statute for by the grant the arrerages are lost and were not due to the testator tempore mortis as the Statute speakes and after the grant the testator could not distraine for the arrerages and the act gives remedy onely where the arrerages are due and become remedilesse by the act of God Sharpe and Pooles case 17. of the Queene a rent was granted to a woman for life 't is arreare she takes husband 't is arreare the wife dyes the husband brings debt against the heire being terrtenant for all arrerages Resolved that for the arrerages before the marriage he had no remedy at common Law but for the other he had debt Objected that the husband shall not have the arrerages due before by this Statute 1. Because at common Law the Executors of the wife may have an action for them and the Statute gives remedy when Executors cannot have an action and doth not intend to toll the remedy from the common Law 2. The branch says due in the wives life so the arrerages ought to incurre when she is his wife Resolved to the contrary for the Statute says due and unpaid in the wives life and the common Law gives remedy for the arrerages of an estate for life incurred in the life of the wife and therefore the Statute did not intend to extend to these arrerages but to the arrerages due before for Verba accipienda sunt cum effectu Resolved that a Feme covert cannot make an Executor without assent of her husband and the administration of her goods of right belong to the husband And the Statute in naming the woman wife intends noely to describe and designe the condition of the womaln not to imply that the arrerages ought to incurre during coverture Rawlins case 29. 30. of the Queene fo 52.

All the rent issueth out of black acre for as an estate of freehold it cannot issue out of white acre nor as freehold out of black acre and a chattell out of white acre because intire it cannot be construed to be two rents contrary to the intent of the parties and therefore an acceptance of a Lease of white acre doth not suspend it and in an assize black acre onely shall be put in view 3. Although the rent issueth onely out of black acre yet white acre is charged with a distresse If a rent be granted out of three acres with clause of distresse in one this is a rent seck for all yet the grantee shall distreine in the third acre for it so if a rent be granted to two with clause of distresse to one of them but a rent may be seck and charge at severall times and therefore if a rent be granted in fee with distresse for life it is a rent charge for life and seck after but if the Clause of distresse be for yeares it is a rent seck for all because the freehold is seck The avowry was insufficient 1.

from an auncestor a Subject but not where it discends from an auncestor who was King except in speciall cases 3. The issues of the King at the time of the levying of the fine are subjects therefore within the Statute and it seemd to them that there ought to be Letters Patents to give power to the Conisee to enter into the Land Nevills Case 2.

De donis and experience is to give dignities in taile with remainders over also this was an office anciently and offices may be intailed 2. A dignity may be forfeited at the common Law by a condition in Law for the Office of Earle was Ad consulendum Regem tempore pacis defendendum Regem tempore belli therefore he forfeits it when he takes Councell and Armes against him 3. If it were not forfeited by the common Law yet it is by 26. H. 8. cap. 13. by this word Hereditament and the words use or possession which are added are to shew that every Hereditament shall be forfeited at the common Law Donee in taile had Potestatem alienandi post prolem suscitatam but if hee reteine the Land himselfe he hath no absolute fee for none shall inherit but the heire Per formam doni so it is now in case of annuity and other things out of the Statute Penall Statutes 2.

Although that two recoveries are without covin yet the composition so operates that nothing shall be accounted administred but onely so much as he hath paid by composition and the converting of any part to his owne use and the deferring to accept a Release is against the office of an Executor and shall not aide him 2. The barre is insufficient because he hath not shewed that the Court of C. had power to hold plea of debt 2. Because he hath not shewed that the Testator was bound in an Obligation and if it were onely upon contract the administrators were not chargable in Debt 3.

Although the grantee had not the inheritance yet the Statute extends to him and he may inclose for the Statute is or any other person to whom wood is sould 3. 22. E. 4. cap. 7. extends to wood which one had in severalty and not where another had common there for at the common Law one who had wood in a Forrest cannot incloser against a commoner but if it be his severall wood he might inclose parvo fossato c. for three yeares 4. The sayd Statute is as a conveyance betweene the King and his Subjects which taketh not away the right of third persons as the commoner here is 5. In the sayd Statute there is a clause that hee may inclose without suing to the King or other owner so that power is given against them and not against a commoner Beasts of Forrest are Hart Hinde Hare wilde Boare and Wolfe of chase Buck Doe Fox Martin and Roe 6.

Jacobi fol. 146. IT was resolved when entry authority or license is given to any by the Law and he abuse the same in this case hee shall be a trespassor ab initio But where entry authority or license is given by the party and he abuse the same there he shall be punished for this abuse but he shall not be sayd to be a trespassor ab initio and the diversity is this because the Law doth judge by the act subsequent quo animo or to what intent hee enters acta exteriora judicant interiora secreta But when the partie giveth authority c. to doe a thing he cannot for any subsequent cause punish the same 1. The Law doth give authority of entry into a common Inn Taverne c. 2. To a Lord to enter and distreine 3. To an owner of the soyle to enter and distreine dammage feasant 4. To him in reversion to view if waste be committed 5. To a commoner to enter into his Land to view his Cattell c. But if hee that enters into an Inn c. doe trespasse or take any thing away or if the Lord that distreines for rent or owner for dammage feasant labour or kill the distresse or he that enters to view wast bruse the house or stay there all night or if a commoner sell Tymber in these cases and such like the Law judgeth that hee entred for the same purpose and therefore the act that doth demonstrate this is to be a trespasse and he shall be a trespassor ab initio It was resolved that the non-seasons or not doing of a thing is not any trepasse where the Law giveth license or authority to enter viz. to deny to pay for Wine in a Taverne is not a trespasse but the Taverner may have an action of debt 12 E. 4.8 If a Taylor overvalue the making of a Garment and the necessaries thereunto he shall not have an action of debt for his owne values unlesse it be specially agreed upon before but he may detaine the Garment untill he be payd or satisfied and if the party sue for the same the Jury shall set downe the value and the Taylor shall have no more but be barred for the rest Likewise an Ostler may deteine an Horse c. Tender of sufficient amends for dammage fesant befor the distresse taken is good and the taking of a distresse afterwards is wrong tender after the taking of a distresse and before the impounding maketh the detaining wrong but not the taking but tender after the impounding commeth too late for then the cause is put to the tryall of the Law Edward Althams Case 8.

Resol A release of all actions to him in the reversion barreth not dowre because shee had no cause of action against him but against the tenant of the free hold but a release of all her right to him in the reversion extinguisheth dowre for a release of right beareth actions but a release of actions barreth not a right if there be other meane to come to it otherwise not as if the disseisee release all actions to the heire of the disseisor the right is extinct otherwise it is if the release be to the disseisor and a discent after or if the release be to the lessee for life of the heire a release of all actions reall and personall is no barr in a Writ of errour but a release of a Writ of errour is a release of actions is no barr to have execution if he be not put to a Scire facias a release of a thing due before the time of payment thereof is good Quaerela is more then an action for by that the cause of action is released by release of suites executions are barred for none shall have execution without suite for it so it is of all duties but a release de quaerelis infectis in that case barreth not dowre by release of titles dowre is barred and by release of demands which is the most ample release of all 2.

WHen a man hath lawfull profit by prescription of time whereof the memory of man is not to the contrary other custome of the like time also cannot take the former away for the one custome is as ancient as the other As if a man have a way over the Lands of B. to his freehold Land by prescription of time B cannot alledge prescription or custome to stop the said way for it may be that before the time of memory the owner of the said Lands had granted such away without any stopping and so the prescription might have a lawfull beginning 29.

Windowes towards a peece of Land of Thomas Mosely in the Citty of York but Mosely erected a new building upon the said peece of Land so neere c. as the light of the Windowes were stopped Brand brought his action on the Case and judgement was given for the Plaintiffe for it might be that before the time of memory the owner of that peece of Land did grant License to the owner of the Messuage to have the said 7. Windowes without stopping them and so the prescription might have a lawfull beginning If a man have a watercourse to his House for necessary uses if a Glover make a Lime-pit for Calf-skins so neere the said Course that the corruption doth corrupt the same an Action of the Case lyeth 13.

Jacobi fol. 65. FIve exceptions to the Indictment 1. The Arrest was in the night betweene five and six of the Clock in November at the suite of a Subject which being tortious the killing of the Serjeant is but Man-slaughter Non alloc 1. Because the Arrest may be at the Suite of a Subject in the night 2. Although that betweene five and six in November be in the night yet the Court is not bound to take notice of it without the shewing of the party as in case of Burglary 2. The Sunday is not Dies juridicus therefore the arrest that wast made upon it was Tortious c. Resol that judiciall acts shall not be done this day but ministeriall may for necessity 3. The Indictment is in Computat in parochia S. M. in W. emitting the Ward yet good as if one name the Towne he is not bound to say in what Hundered it is 4. and 5 the precept was to arrest him Infra liberiates L. and the arrest was in L. yet good because the Liberties of L. includes the City of L. it selfe 1. Exception to the verdict that the Indictment and the Verdict vary for the Indictment is that the arrest was by precept and by Verdict it is found that it was by custome without precept Answered that the precept is but circumstance and varience in it is not materiall having found the substance as if the Indictment be that he killed him with a Daggar and it is found that it was with a Sword so if he be indicted of murder and it is found man-slaughter this is good for Ex malitia is but circumstance 2. The Indictment may be generall Ex malitia c. because the Law imployeth malice and so the precept not materiall 2. The custome is not good to arrest one without summons it is good and if the processe be erroneous yet killing of him who did execute it is murder because he is not to dispute whether it be good or not and if any officer in doing his office be slaine this is murder and in such a case an officer is not bound to flie to the Wall as another is 3. The Arrest cannot be before the plaint entered of record before the Sheriffe Resp it may by the custome after entry of it in the Porters Booke 4. The Serjeant ought to shew at whose Suite the Arrest is and in what Court and for what cause true it is if the party submit himselfe but here he was killed before he could speake and if they kill him before the Arrest knowing that he came for that purpose this is murder 5. It is not found that the killing was fellony Resp It is sufficient for the Jurors to find the killing which is the substance and leave it to the Judgement of the Court if it be fellony 6. The Serjeant did not shew his Mace He ought not 1. Because he was commonly knowne 2. The party arrested is to obey at his perill and if shewing of the Mace be requisite it will be a warning to the party to flie 7. The arrest ought to be upon request after the plaint entered the request may be before or after 8. The verdict is repugnant for they find that the plaint was entered of record 17. Nov. and after they found that it was 19. Nov. this is more strong against the Prisoners because the entry was before the Arrest 18. Nov. 9. The Plaint is without forme this is not to the purpose for it is but a remembrance to draw the count by at large after And Mackalley and the other prisoners were Executed at Tyborne Peacocks Case 9. Jacobi in Camera Stellata fol. 70. SIr George Reynell Plaintiffe Richard Peacock and others Defendants J.H. J.B. Commissioners to examine Peacock upon Interr and Peacock being examined would have declared all the

truth but J.H. a Commissioner for the Plaintiffe held him strictly to the Interr so as the truth could not appeare and this was holden by the Lord Chancellour and the two Chiefe Justices the Chiefe Baron and all the Court of Starre-Chamber a great Misdemeanour c. as the Statute of Exceter saith Per quod institia veritas suffocantur and Commissioners to examine ought to be indifferent and by all meanes to express the Truth And they are not bound strictly to the Letter of the Interr but to every thing also that ariseth necessarily for manifestation of the truth Also the said J. H. when he was in Examination of Peacock went forth of the place to the Plaintiffe being in another Roome and had secret conference with him And it was holden by all the Court that a Commissioner before publication of the depositions ought not to discover to any of the parties the matter thereof nor after that he beginneth to examine Interr to conferre with the parties to take new instructions to examine further then he knew before and if he did they were great misdemeanours and punishable by Fine and Imprisonment for if such things should be suffered perjury would abound I.

IN Ravishment of Ward against a Feme Covert and others they were found guilty and the Baron Non culp and the Age of the Infant above sixteene and Married Foster and Warberton a Feme Covert is within the Statute because the Action lay at the common Law and the Statute gives but greater punishment and so shee is within the Statute of Merton cap. 6. De Malefactoribus in parcis of forcible entry and redesseissin Cooke and Walmsley to the contrary the Statute of Westm 2. c. 35. hath made these alterations this extends to Heires Females which the Statute of Merton did not 2. It extends to Heires Ravished after yeares of consent so doth not the Statute of Merton 3. It extends to the Clergy the Statute of M. doth not 4. M. giveth a light of Ward this giveth ravishment of Ward 5. This giveth more speedy processe and the death of the Plaintiffe or Defendant abateth not the Writ 6. It giveth greater punishment 2. A Feme Covert is not within this Statute for it is Si haeredem maritaverit satisfacere non potuerit abjuret regnum or be perpetually imprisoned and because the Law disableth the Feme to satisfy shee shall not therefore be exiled nor perpetually imprisoned and the Baron being innocent shall not be punished for the punishment is personall and he shall not have judgement at the Common Law the Action being brought upon the Statute nor judgement upon the Statute where the Action is brought at the Common Law 3. The Verdict is insufficient because no Case is within the Statute except the Ravishor marry the Infant so that if the Infant Marry himselfe or be Married by another it is out of the Statute and the Verdict found that he was Married and did not say by whom 4. Damages shall be recovered upon this Statute and where the Statute saith that he shall be banished or perpetually imprisoned the Election is in the Court Combes Case 9. Jacobi fol. 75. Vpon a speciall Verdict A Copy-holder in fee where there is no custome to that purpose maketh two his Attorneys to surrender to the use of I. N. in fee they in Court shew the Letter of Attorney and by the said Letter of Attorney surrender 1. Resolved surrender by Letter of Attorney is good for a surrender may be by the common Law without custome and may be by Attorney as incident to it If one have a bare authority coupled with a confidence he cannot doe it by Attorney as Executors cannot sell by Attorney but if he had authority to dispose as owner of the Land he may as Cestuy que use by the Statute of 1. R. 3. but if one had particular personall power to dispose as owner of the Land he cannot doe it by Attorney as if Lessee for life had power to make Leases for 21. yeares There are personall things which cannot be done by Attorney as homage Fealty beating his Villeine admittance of him to whose use the surrender is made may be by Attorney if the Lord will and yet he may upon the admittance compell the Tenant to doe fealty A fortiori here and otherwise it would be a mischiefe for it may be he is beyond the Sea or sick and cannot be present to surrender for payment of his debts or preferment of his Children but if a custome be that an Infant may make a feoffement at 15. yeares he cannot doe it by attorney 2. The Attorneys have pursued their authority although they have not done it in the name of the Authorizor for they did shew the Letter of Attorney and surrendered by authority thereof which is all one but if it be to make a Lease by Indenture this shall be in the name of him who gave the authority but Executors must sell Land in their owne name for necessity and yet the Vendee is in by the Devisor Henry Peytoes Case 9.

Quarters he cannot give money or other thing in satisfaction thereof because the contract Originally was not for money but for a collaterall thing Also if the things to be performed be at a day to come tender and refusall is not sufficient without actuall satisfaction and acceptance If a man be bound in a Statute Recognizance or Obligation and after a defeasance is made to pay a lesse Summe now this Summe in the defeasance is collaterall and therefore if the Obligor render the same at the day and it be refused the Obligee shall loose the same for ever as is holden in 33. H. 6. fol. 2. and yet

in this Case the obligor by accord betweene the parties may give any Horse or other thing in satisfaction of the money in the defeasance for the Contract originally was for money But if a man by Contract or assumpsit without Deede be to deliver an Horse or to build an House or to doe any collaterall thing money may be paid by accord in satisfaction of such contract for as a contract in consideration may commence by word so by accord by words for any valuable consideration the same may be dissolved Agnes Gores Case 9.

Jacobi fol. 86. IT was adjudged that an Action of the Case will lye against Executors for a Debt due by the Testator upon a simple contract An Action upon assumpsit made by the Testator was maintainable against the Executors upon a contract for Corne. Norwood Reades Case plow com 181. Debts upon simple contracts ought to be paid before Legacies and reasonable part of the goods of the Wife or Infant which proveth that they still remaine the Spirituall Court doth give remedy for payment of Legacies and the reason of all this is for that the Testator in his life time upon his action of the case upon the assumpsit might not wage his Law as he might have done upon his action of debt for no action is maintainable against Executors where the Testator might have waged his Law in his life time If a Prisoner doe eate and drinke with his Goaler and dye the Goaler shall have an action of debt against his Executors for the meate and drinke of the Testator and the reason is for that in this case the Testator might not wage his Law as is adjudged 27. H. 6. fol. 46. in Thomas Bodulgates Case and the reason that no wager of Law in this Case is because that every Goaler ought to keep his Prisoner in salva arcta custodia and thereby the Goaler is in a manner compelled to finde Victualls for his prisoners and therefore the Prisoner may not wage his Law but if A. contract with B. for his commons for a moneth c. there in an action of debt brought against A. he may wage Law If a Victualer or common Innkeeper bring an action of debt for victualls delivered to his Guest the Guest may wage his Law for the Victualler or Host is not compellable to deliver Victualls untill he be paid for them in hand 10. H. 7 8. in Anno. 4. H. 6. R. G. brought an Action of Debt for 10. Markes against Thomas Timberhull and others Executors of William Webb and declared that the Testator had detein'd the Plaintiffe to be with him for a yeare in the Art of Limming of Books paying per annum 10. Markes And Martin did hold opinion that the Action was not maintainable against Executors and he tooke diversity between this Case of a Limmer and of a common Labourer for the Labourer may be compelled in spight of his head to serve and his wage is put in certeinty by the Statute and it is no reason the Servant should loose his wages by the death of their Master whom he was bound by the Law to serve but in case of a Limmer he is not bound by the Law to serve so when he makes a Covenant it is his owne Act and folly and not the Act of the Law for he might have taken a specialty and the opinion of Martin in this Case is good Law But the true reason of this diversity is because that in this Case of the common Labourer the Testator might not wage his Law as he might against the Lymmer and this appeareth in 11. H. 6. fol. 48. where the Gardian of Freres Minors in Coventry brought an Action of Debt against John Burton of Coventry Executor of John Goate and declared that the said John Goate retain'd at Coventry Frere John Bredon a Brother of the said House by License of the said Gardian to Sing for him Masses for one whole yeare and to say Saint Gregories Trentalls in the next yeare after and shewed in certainty upon what services Saint Gregories Trentall did consist taking for this xl s. per annum and within foure dayes John Goate dyed and the Defendant his Executor and the said John Burton granted to the said Frere to pay him the said Summe for doing the said services according to the Reteinor of the Testator which Divine services the Frere did performe according to the reteinor and all his wages were Arr. And in this Case the diversity was taken that a Labourer may have an Action of Debt against Executors without specialty because that he may be compelled to serve by the Statute and the Testator shall not wage his Law in this Case But the Priest or Frere is not bound to Sing Masses by the Law against his will And in every Case where the Testator might have waged his Law the Action is not maintainable against his Executors without specialty for Executors may not wage the Law upon the contract of another In 2. H. 4. fol. 16. Lawr.

Although an actuall surrender is requisit they have done all which belongs to them by delivery of the Chartar and payment of the fees and the Cancelling belongs to the Court. 3. Although it was recited that 20. l. was paid yet it needs not to be found for it is but in the personalty and is affirmed by the King to be paid and is also executed See Barwicks Case 5. Report 93. The Case of the Marshalsea 10. Jacobi fol. 68. In false Imprisonment AN Action upon the Case upon an assumpsit is brought in the Marshalsea whereas no party was of the Kings House the Plaintiffe recovered the Defendants arrested the Plaintiffe by a precept in the nature of a Capias ad satisfaciendum and he brings false Imprisonment and judgement given against the Defendants 1. Resolved the Steward and Marshall at the Common Law hath two Authorities One generall as Vicegerents of the Chiefe Justice in his absence within the Verge Another as Judges of the Marshalsea This last was limitted to Debt and Covenant where both are of the House and to trespasse Vi armis where one is but not if it concerne Land and because they have the generall authority at will and the other for life they draw many cases to the Marshalsea which ought to be in other Courts Their Jurisdiction by Fleta Lib. 2. cap. 2. Infra metas hospitij continentes 12. Leucas in circuitu And the Statute of 13. R. 2. c. 3. limits the 12. miles to be accounted about the Kings Tonnell 2. The reasons wherefore this speciall authority was given them were 1. Because the Suite there is by Bill by reason of their Priviledge which cannot be elsewhere 2. In respect of the necessity of attendance of the Kings Servants 3. If Strangers shall be suffered to sue there one Carman would sue another Carman there In aula Regis which were undecent but the generall authority vanished by the Act of 28. E. 1. c. 5. which Ordained that the Chancellour and Justices of the King should follow him therefore in Praesentia Majoris cessat c. and about 4. E. 3. the Court of K. Bench became Resident 3. The Statute of Articuli super Chartas is as much as an explanation of the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest and not introductory of a new Law and the third Chapter of that act explaines the Jurisdiction of the Marshalsea as before and if he hold plea otherwise a prohibition lyeth and the party shall have an Action upon the Case as a consequent upon the Statute 4. That part of the Statute which giveth them Jurisdiction in trespasse shall be intended trespasse Vi armis 5. This action lyeth against the Defendants because the Court had not Jurisdiction and so have not done it by command of the Judge otherwise if the Court had Jurisdiction but proceedeth Inverso ordine or erroneously as if a Capias be awarded against an Earle c. one who is Indicted before Justices of the Peace cannot approve 1. Because he cannot assigne a Coroner 2. Because it is out of their Commission if a Court Leete be holden at another day then it ought to be the proceeding is Coram non judice otherwise it is of a Court Baron 6. R. 2.

Resolv if a man seised of three acres of equall value one holden in Capite and giveth that and one of the other to his younger Sonne in taile he cannot devise any part of the third Acre because he had executed his power and if he purchase other Land in socage he can devise but two parts of that by reason of his reversion in Capite expectant upon the estate taile Object that the K. was once satisfied of the wardship by the Statute in respect of the Acre holden and the reversion thereupon shall not hinder the

devise is good for two parts for the reasons reported in Loveyes Case 5. Although the consideration of advancing his Wife and their issues extends not to the Brothers yet the use is well raised to them because the Law implyeth a consideration and it is not to the purpose that they are found Brothers because it appeareth in the Deed. 6. For the Mannor of G. the estate tayle vanisheth by the death of Sir H. without issue male and therefore that estate is no cause to restraine the devise for any part but the reversion in fee is for a third part So resolved that the Plaintiffe shall have judgement for two parts Exceptions to the count and Visne 1. The Ejectione firmae is of Tithes without shewing the kinds of them Ergo not good for a certaine judgement and execution cannot be made 2. It may be it is in a modus decimandi for which an Ejectione firmae lyeth not 2. Capella is demanded which ought to be demanded by the name of a house 3. The Venire facias is not well awarded for it appeares that there are two B. one a Ville the other a Parish and W. a Ville in the Parish of B. and the Tithes are alleadged to be in W. in parochia de B. so the Visne must be out of B. and W. because there is the most certainty so that by reason of these exceptions no Judgement was entred but it was sayd that the Court of Wards where a Bill depends for this matter will take order for the possession accordingly Henry Pigots Case 12. Jacobi fol. 26. B. W. brings debt upon Obligation made to him when he was Sheriffe omitting the name of his Office but it was after interlined by a stranger the Defendant pleads Non est factum without Oyer of the Deed and judgement was given for the Plaintiffe 1. When a Deed is rased the Obligor may plead Non est factum 2. If a Deed be rased by the Obligee himselfe in a place not materiall it is voyd but not if done by a stranger except in a place materiall and here it was in a place not materiall because it appeareth not to the Court that he was Sheriffe If a Deed consist of diverse parts whereof one doth not depend upon the other and some of them are against Law the Deed is good in part but if any of them be rased it is voyd in all so if the Seale of one be debrused all is voyd See Matthewsons Case in the fifth Booke Alexander Powlters Case 12.

H. 8. cap. 3. hee who is found guilty of any of the sayd offences shall loose his Clergy and if he stand mute or challenge above his number but that extends to the principall onely in case of indictment and not to the accessory before the fact nor to appeales or approvements nor to outlary but these two Statutes were taken away by 1.

That the sayd Statute was not revived in all but as to stealing of Goods in one County and flying into another for so is the stile of the Act. 2. If it be revived this takes not away Clergy where one is found guilty by Verdict but the Statute of 23. H. 8. which is not revived But it was Re●olved that the intire Act is revived 1. Although the Statute of 5. E. 6. reciteth these offences solely and reviveth the Act as to Clergy touching such offences that shall be intended such in mischeife so Westminster 2. cap. 5. is expounded touching Infants having advowsons whether they be in ward or not and the stile is not to the purpose for many Statutes are of greater extent then the stile as 27. H. 8. of uses concerning Joyntures yet the preamble is of transferring uses into possession also otherwise these words and every clause c. shall be surplusage if it extend not to all the Act for there is but one clause in it which concerneth the offences in 5. 6. E. 6. also it is that every Article concerning Clergy as to such offences shall be revived and there is but one which concernes these offences and many times penall Statutes are taken by Equity as 8. H. 6. cap. 12. ordaineth that the imbezelling or withdrawing a Record whereby a Judgement may be reversed shall be Felony and by Equity making of a badd Judgement good is Felony so 25. E. 3. for killing of a Master extends to the Mistris 2. 25. H. 8. takes away Clergy where one is found guiltie by Verdict because it takes away if he stand mute or challenge c. in like manner as if he were guilty after the Lawes of the Land which are affirmative words And 4. 5. Phil. Mary cap. 4. takes away Clergy from the accessory before which they would not have done if they had not thought that it was taken away from the principall by the other Act. By 18. Eliz. cap. 7. Clergy is taken away in case of Burglary where hee is found guilty by Verdict confession or Outlary but if he be indicted at the Common Law and stand mute or challenge over c. he shall have it and not if hee be indicted by 23. H. 8. or 5. E. 6. of Burglary and put them who were in the House in feare with Robbery or upon 1. E. 6. without Robbery 4. 5. Phil. Mary takes away Clergy where one is accessory before to a Robbery in a dwelling House Ergo before that such an accessory shall have it Breaking of a House in the night without Robbery is no Burglarie and if he doth robb he shall have his Clergy if none were put in feare or that any of the Family and not

Indictments The Statute of 3. Jacobi inflicteth Imprisonment upon a feme Covert yet it taketh not away the forfeiture before where a new person is designed by a new Statute this taketh away the ancient Statute if they cannot stand together and although there are exclusive words concerning Courts yet the Court of K.

Eliz. of Deanes and Chapters and 18. Eliz of Confirmations a fine with Proclamations is levyed and five yeares passe Doctor K. dyeth the successor accepts the rent and within five yeares after his Election enters and he and the Fellowes demise to the Defendant And judgement given for the Defendant 1. Resolved the Master and Fellowes are restrained by the Statute of 13. Eliz. to grant to the Queen for the Q. is a Parson within the letter of the Statute and if he should be exempted this should be by construction of Law which cannot be 1. Because a generall Statute for maintainance of Religion and good literature and releife of the poore binds the K. although he be not named and it appeareth by the Statute of 1. Eliz. that the K. is included within the words Person or Persons for there he is exempted 2. Because the Statute is made to suppresse a tort therefore the Statute of Donis binds him 3. A Statute made to performe the intent of the Donor binds the K. without being named as the Statute of Donis 4. The Master and Fellowes are disabled to grant therefore the K. cannot purchase of them 5. The intent is to be observed which was to convey by the Queene to a Subject and so to make her an instrument of wrong as one who holdeth of the Bishop grants to the Queene to regrant to a Corporation by Covin to take away the Seigniory of the Bishop by extinguishment and to make an evasion out of the Statute of Mortmaine this Patent shall be repealed Jure regio so here and this Act extends to a Corporation not incorporate by such names as are in the Statute 2. The Statute of 18. Eliz. c. 2. doth not confirme this grant for it is out of the words of the Statutes because it is not made upon consideration and here the reversion of the rent is not considered because the Queene was to grant it before the rent be due 2. grants to the E. may be void or voidable 1. In respect of the Grantor as if an infant grant unto him 2. In respect of the thing granted as if a Foundership be granted 3. In respect of the estate as taile 4. In respect of the grant if it agree not with the rules of Law 5. In respect of omission of any circumstance as Inrollment this Statute aideth not grants of the first sort for it doth not inable persons disabled by the Law to grant as here nor of the second sort but confirmeth grants of Tenant in taile because he was able to grant but aides not grants of the fourth sort For Quae malo sunt inchoata principio vix est c. but it aideth grants of the fifth sort 3. At the time of the said Statute this grant needed no confirmation because Doctor K. the Master was living 3. The fine and Non-claime doth not barre them 1. Because although it was not a conveyance made by them yet it was suffered by them within the words of the Statute 2. Doctor K. nor any in his time cannot make his claime and claime was made within 5. yeares after his death 4. Acceptance of the rent doth not barre them because it is a body agregate of many and acceptance by the Master sole doth not barre all and the rather being without deed And judgement given Quod querens nil caperet per billam Lewis Bowles Case 13.

He shall not be named in an Action for or against him Tenant for life but not as to the quantity therefore his feoffement is a forfeiture resceit lyeth upon his default and exchange by him and Tenant for life is good 3. The Feme is not Tenant in taile after possibility c. for this must be a remainder of an estate taile by act of God and not by limitation of the party and although she be Tenant in taile after possibility of the remainder this doth not extinguish the estate for life because it is not a greater estate 4. She shall have the priviledges of Tenant in taile after possibility for the inheritance which was in her and because she is Tenant in taile after possibility of the remainder although she cannot claime it in possession 5. If Tenant for life or yeares cut Trees or prostrate Houses the

Lessor shall have the Trees and Tymber for the Lessee had them onely as things annexed to the Land and he shall not have a greater interest by his tortious severance but he shall have a speciall interest in the Tymber blowne downe to build againe withall 6. The Law giveth many priviledges to a Mansion house 7. The Lessee without impeachment of wast shall have Trees which he cuts for without impeachment of wast is as much as without demand for wast done otherwise it is if it be without impeachment c. by Writ of wast 8. The priviledge of without impeachment of wast is annexed to the estate therefore if he accept a confirmation of a greater estate or assigne over it is gone 9.

ALice Allen seised of certaine Messuages in Fee maketh her will in Writing and thereby demiseth that if James Amynd doth survive her that then she doth demise and bequeatheth the same messuage to him and his Heires And afterwards the said Alice did Intermarry with the said James and during her coverture she said often the said James should never have the said Messuage by her said Will Alice dyed without issue and James survived and the Question was whither the Will was countermanded by the said Marriage or not and if not whither by the words of revocation after the Marriage was a Countermand and it was adjudged upon great deliberation that the taking of a Husband and the coverture at the time of her death was a countermand of the Will For the making of a Will is but an inception thereof and it doth not take any effect untill the death of the Devisor For Omne testamentum morte consummatum est voluntas est ambulatoria usque extremum vitae exitum And it should be against the nature of a Will to be so absolute that he that made the same being of sane memory may not countermand the same And therefore the taking of her Husband being her owne proper act doth amount to a countermand in Law Also 't was said that after Marriage all the will of the Wife in judgement of Law is subject to the will of her Husband and a Feme Covert hath no Will and therefore the Countermand after Marriage was of no force Quod fuit concessum per tot Cur.

Report It was also resolved that if an House fall by tempest or other act of God the Lessee for life or yeares hath a speciall interest to take Timber to reedifie the same if he will But if the Lessee suffer the House to fall or take it downe the Lessor may take his Timber as parcell of his Inheritance and the interest of the Lessee is determined and he may have wast and treble damages Resolved that the Lessee by the grant had an absolute property in the Trees so that by the Lease of the Land they did not passe and he hath not equall ownership in both and it should be a prejudice to him if they should be joyned to the Land for then he could not cut during the terme without wast and after he shall not have them and the Lessor shall not have them against his owne act And here A.
