Excommunication EXcommunication See Excommengement Execution EXecution is where Iudgment is given to any Action that the Plaintiff shall recover the Land Debt or Dammages as the case is and when any Writ is awarded to put him in possession or to do any other thing whereby the Plaintiff should the better be satisfied his Debt or Dammages that is called a Writ of Extention and when he hath the possession of the Land or is paid the Debt or Damages or hath the Body of the Defendant awarded to prison then he hath Execution And if the Plea be in the County or Court-Baron or Hundred and they defer the execution of the Iudgment in favor of the party or for other cause the Demandant shall have a Writ De Executione Judicii Note that in a Writ of Debt a man shall not have Recovery of any Lands but of those which the Defendant hath the day of the Iudgment yielded And of Chattels a man shall have execution only of the Chattels which he hath the day of the execution sued Executione facienda EXecutione facienda is a Writ commanding Execution of a Iudgment the divers uses whereof see in the Table of the Reg. Judic Executor EXecutor is when a Man makes his Testament and last Will and therein names the person that shall execute his Testament that is his Executor and is as much in the Civil Law as Haeres designatus or Testamentarius as to Debts Goods and Chattels of his Testator and such an Executor shall have an Action against every Debtor of his Testator and if the Executor hath Assets every one to whom the Testator was in Debt shall have an Action against him if he have an Obligation or Specialty but in every case where the Testator might wage his Law no Action lies against the Executor See hereof before in the Title Administrators And if any other person not made Executor take or sell the Goods of the deceased he may be sued as Executor of his own wrong in the same form as other Executor See the Statute of 30 Car. 2. cap. 7.

Ex mero motu EX mero motu are words frequently used in the Kings Charters whereby he signifies that he doth that which is contained in the Charter of his own will and motion without Petition or Suggestion made by any other and the effect of these words is to bar all exceptions that might be taken to the Instrument wherein they are contained by alledging that the King in passing that Charter was abused by any false Suggestion Kitch f. 151. And when the Kings Charter hath therein these words it shall be taken most strongly against the King therefore if the King ex mero motu pardon to B. all his debts all the debts that B. ows as Sheriff are by this pardoned and in like manner it is in many other cases where these words shall be taken as strongly against the Kings as if a common person had made the Grant See Coke l. 1. f. 45.

E. 3. cap. 3. But it is in our Books many times confounded with the word Assault as it appears by Lambert in his Eirenarch lib. 1. cap. 17. Yet as it is there said they differ in this that an Assault is but a wrong to the party but an Affray is a wrong to the Common-wealth and therefore an Affray is inquirable and punishable in a Leet Also an Assault is made most commonly but on one side but an Affray is the fighting of many together Age prier AGE prier is when an Action is brought against an Infant for Land which he hath by descent there he shall shew the matter to the Court and shall pray that the action may stay till his full age of 21 years and so by award of the Court the Suit shall surcease But in a Writ of Dower and in Assise and also in such actions where the Infant is supposed to come to the Land demanded by his own wrong he shall not have his age And note well that there are many diversities of ages For the Lord shall have aide of his Tenant in Socage to marry his daughter when the daughter is of the age of 7 years and aid to make his son and Heir a Knight when he is of the age of 7 years A woman who is married at the age of 9 years if her husband die seised shall have dower and not before And 14 years is the age of a Woman who shall not be in ward if she were of such age at the time of the death of her Ancestor but if she were within the age of 14 years and in ward of the Lord then she shall be in ward till the age of 16 years And 21 years is the age of the Heir male to be in ward and after that out of ward Also that is the age of male and female to sue and to be sued for Lands which they have or claim by descent and to make all manner of Contracts and Bargains and not before but if such an infant within the age of 21 years give his goods and the Donee take them the infant may have an Action of Trespass but otherwise it is if he deliver them himself See Coke lib. 3. fol 13. a. l. 6. f. 3.

Law is if the Tenant holds of his Mesne by like Service as the Mesne holds over of the Lord and the Tenant doth or pays his Services to the Mesne but the Mesne doth not his Services to the chief Lord wherefore he distrains the Beasts of the Tenant In this case the Mesne for the equalness of the Services ought to acquit the Tenant of the Service due unto the Lord. Also there is Acquital in Law acquital in fact Acquital in Law is when two are appealed or indicted of Felony the one as Principal the other as Accessory the Principal being discharged the Accessory by consequence is also acquitted And in this case as the Accessory is acquitted by the Law so is the Principal in Fact Stamf. pl. cor fol. 168. Acquittance ACquittance is a Discharge in Writting of a Sum of money other Duty which ought to be paid or done As if one be bound to pay money upon Obligation or Rent reserved upon a Lease or such like and the party to whom the money or duty should be paid or done upon the Receipt thereof or upon other agreement between them had makes a writing or Bill of his hand in discharge thereof witnessing that he is paid or otherwise contented and therefore doth acquit and discharge him of the same Which Acquittance is such a Discharge and Bar in the Law that he cannot demand and recover the sum or duty again if he produce the Acquittance This word differs from that which in the Civil Law is called Acceptation because that may be by word without writting and is nothing but a feigned Payment and discharge though no payment be had Nor can it be said to be Apocha which is a witnessing the payment or delivery of money whch disscharges not unless the money be paid Acre ACre is a certain parcel of Land that contains in length forty Perches and in breadth four Perches or of this quantity be the length more or less And if a man will erect a new Cottage he ought to lay four Acres of Land unto it according to this measure 31 Eliz. cap. 7.

An Action is a right of prosecuting to judgment that which is due to any one See the Lexicon of the Law for Action Action of a Writ ACtion of a Writ is a phrase of speech used when one pleads some matter by which he shews that the Plaintiff had no cause to have the writ which he brought and yet it may be that he may have another writ or Action for the same matter Such a Plea is called a Plea to the Action of the Writ whereas if by the Plea it should appear that the Plaintiff hath no cause to have an Action for the thing demanded then it shall be called a Plea to the Action Action upon the Case ACtion upon the Case is a writ brought against one for an offence done without force as for not performing promise made by the Defendant to the Plaintiff or for speaking of words by which the Plaintiff is defamed or for other misdemaenour or deceit where the whole case shall be contained in the Writ Trover Nusance Slander of the person Trade Title Escape on mesne Process For negligent keeping Fire for inartificial performing work for turning an ancient Water-course for a Commoner against one who digs the soil of his Common or puts his Cattel into it without right or incloses part of the Cemmon Action mixt ACtion mixt is a Suit given by the Law to recover the thing demanded and damages for the wrong done as in Ass of Novel dis which Writ if the Disseisor make a Feoffm to another the Diseissce shall have against the Disseissor and the Feoffee or other Tertenant and thereby shall recover his Seissn of the land and his damages for the mean profits and for the wrong done him And so is an Action of Waste Quare impedit But an Action of Detinue is not called an Action mixt although by it the thing withheld is demanded and shall be recovered if it may be found and damages for the withholding and if it cannot be found then damages for the thing and the detaining But that is called only an Action personal because it should be brought only for Goods and Chattels or Charters Action upon the Statute ACtion upon the Statute is a Writ founded upon any Statute whereby an Action is given to one in any case where no action was before As where one commits perjury to the prejudice of another who is indamaged shall have a Writ upon the Statute and his case And the difference between an Action upon the Statute and Action popular is That where the Statute gives the Suit or Action to the party grieved or otherwise to one person certain that is called Action upon the Statute But where by the Statute Authority is given to every one that will to sue that is termed Action popular Actions personal ACtions personal are such Actions whereby a man claims debt or other Goods and Chattels or damage for them or damages for wrong done to his person and it is properly that which in the Civil Law is called Actio in personam which is brought against him who is bound by Covenant or Default to give or grant any thing Action Popular ACtion popular is an Action given upon the breach of some penal Statute which Action every man that will may sue for himself and the King by information or otherwise as the Statute allows and the case requires Aud of these Actions there are an infinite number but one for example as when any of the Iury that are impannelled and sworn to pass between party and party indifferently do take any thing of the one side or other or of both parties to say their Verdicts on that side then any man that will within the year following the offence may sue a writ called Decies tantum against him or them that so did take to give his Verdict And because this Action is not given to one especially but generally to any of the Kings people that will sue it is called an Action popular But in this case when one hath begun to pursue an Action no other may sue it and in this as it seems it varies from an Action popular by the Civil

Collateral Warranty See tit Warrantie Collation COllation is properly the bestowing of a Benefice by the Bishop that hath it in his own Gift or Patronage and differs from Institution in this for that Institution into a Benefice is performed by the Bishop at the motion and Presentation of another who is Patron of the same Church or hath the Patrons right for that time Yet Collation is used for Presentation in 25 E. 3. Stat. 6. and there is a Writ in the Regist 31. b. called De Collatione facta uni post mortem alterius c. directed by the Iustices of the Common Pleas commanding them to direct their Writ to the Bishop for the admitting a Clerk in the place of another presented by the King who during the Suit between the King and the Bishops Clerk deceased for judgment once passed for the Kings Clerk and he dying before he be admitted the King may give his Presentation to another Collusion COllusion is where an action is brought against another by his own agreement if the Plaintiff recover then such Recovery is called by Collusion And in some cases the Collusion shall be enquired of as in Quare impedit and Assise and such like which any Corporation or Body politick brings against another to the intent to have the Land or Advowson whereof the Writ is brought in Mortmain But in Avowry nor in any Action personal the Collusion shall not be inquired See the Stat. of Westm 2. c. 32. which gives the Quale jus and enquiry in such cases Colour COlour is feigned matter which the Defendant or Tenant uses in his barre when an Action of Trespass or an Assise is brought against him in which he gives the Demandant or Plaintiff a Shew at first sight that he hath good cause of Action where in truth it is no just cause but only a Colour and Face of a cause and it is used to the intent that the determination of the Action should be by the Iudges and not by an ignorant Iury of twelve men And therefore a Colour ought to be a matter in Law doubtfull to the common people As for example A. brings and Assise of land against B. and B. saith he himself did let the same land to one C. for term of life and afterward did grant the Reversion to A. the Demandant and after C. the Tenant for term of life died after whose decease A. the Demandant claiming the Reversion by force of the Grant whereto C. the Tenant for life did never atturn entred upon whom B. entred against whom A. for that Entry brings this Assise c. This is a good Colour because the common people think the land will pass by the Grant without Atturnment where indeed it will not pass c. Also in an Action of Trespass Colour must be given of which there are an infinite number one forexample In an Action of Trespass for taking away the Plaintiffs Beasts the Defendant saith that before the Plaintiff had any thing in them he himself was possessed of them as of his proper goods and delivered them to A. B. to deliver them to him again when c. and A. B. gave them unto the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff supposing the property to be in A. B. at the time of the gift took them and and the Defendant took them from the Plaintiff whereupon the Plaintiff brings an Action that is a good Colour and a good Plea See more hereof in Doctor and Student l. 2. c. 13. Colour is for this cause viz. where the Defendant justifies by title in trespass or Assize if he do not give the Plaintiff Colour his plea amounteth only to not guilty for if the Defendant hath title he is not guilty 1 Co. 79. 108. Colour of Office COlour of Office is always taken in the worst part and signifies an act evilly done by the countenance of an Office and it bears a dissembling face of the right of the Office whereas the Office is but a vail to the falshood and the thing is grounded upon vice and the Office is as a shadow to it But by reason of the Office and by virtute of the Office are taken always in the best part and where the Office is the just cause of the thing and the thing is pursuing the Office Plo. in Dive Man case sol 64. a.

It lies also to remove any Action from inferiour Courts of Record into any of the 3 Courts in Westm Corruption of Blood COrruption of Blood is when any one is attainted of Felony or Treason then his Bloud is said to be corrupt by means whereof neither his children nor any of his bloud can be heirs to him or to any other Ancestor for which they ought to claim by him And if he were a Noble or Gentleman before he and all his children are made thereby ignoble and ungentle having regard to the Nobility or Gentry they claim by their father which cannot be restored by the Kings Grant without authority of Parliament But if the King will pardon the offendor it will cleanse the corruption of the Blood of those children which are born after the Pardon and they may inherit the land of their Ancestor purchased at the time of the Pardon or afterwards but so cannot they who were born before the Pardon Also he that is attainted of Treason or Felony shall not be heir to his father but this disability shall hinder others to be heir so that during his life the land shall rather escheat to the Lord of the Fee then discend to another But if he who is attainted dies without issue of his body during the life of his Ancestor then his younger Brother Sister or Cousin shall inherit for if the eldest Son be hanged or abjure the Realm for Felony during the life of the Father it is no impediment but that the youngest Son may inherit 27 Edw. 3. c. 77. And if he who is attaint of Treason or Felony in the life of his Ancestor purchase the Kings Pardon before the death of his Ancestor yet he shall not be Heir to the said Ancestor but the Land shall rather escheat to the Lord of the Fee by the Corruption of bloud 26 Ass pla 2. But if the eldest son be a Clerk convict in the life of his Father and after his Father dies in this case he shall inherit his Fathers Land because he was not attainted of Felony for by the Common Law he should inherit after he had made his Purgation And now by the Statute of 18 El. cap. 6. he shall be forthwith enlarged after burning in the hand and delivered out of prison and not committed to the Ordinary to make his Purgation but he is in the same case as if he had made his Purgation If a man that hath Land in right of his wife hath issue and his Bloud is corrupt by Attainder of Felony and the King pardons him in this case if the wife dies before him he shall not be Tenant by the courtesse for the corruption of the blood of that issue But it is otherwise if he hath issue after the Pardon for then he shall be Tenant although the issue which he had before the Pardon be not inheritable 13 H. 7. c. 17. If a man seised of Land hath issue two sons and the eldest is attainted in the life of his Father of Felony and therefore executed or otherwise dies during the life of his Father and after the Father dies seised the Land shall descend to the youngest son as Heir unto his Father if

Also if such a Default in Iudgment be given in a Court not of Record as in a County Hundred or Court-Baron the party shall have a Writ of False Iudgment to cause the Record to be brought before a Iustice of the Common-place Also if Error be found in the Exchequer it shall be redressed by the Chancellor and Treasurer as it appeas by the Statute E. 3. an 31. c. 12. 31 El. c. 1. Also there is another Writ of Error upon a Iudgment in the Kings Bench and that is where the Plaintiff assign matter of Fact for Error And this lies in the same Court for this Court can redress their Errors in Fact but not their errors in Law But the Court of common B. cannot do so Escape EScape is where one that is arrested comes to his liberty before he be delivered by Award of any Iustice or by order of Law Escape is in two sorts voluntary and negligent Voluntary Escape is when one doth arrest another for Felony or other Crime and after he in whose custody he is lets him go where he will And if the Arrest were for Felony then shall it be Felony in him that suffered the Escape if for Treason then Treason in him and if for Trespass then Trespass and so in all other When one is arrested after escapes against the will of him that did arrest him and is not freshly pursued and taken before the pursuer loses the sight of him this shall be said a negligent Escape notwithstanding that he out of whose possession he escaped do take him after he lost sight of him A so if one be arrested and after escape and is at his liberty and he in whose ward he was take him afterward and bring him to the prison yet it is an Escape in him If a Felon be arrested by the Constable and brought to the Goal in the County and the Goaler will not receive him and the Constable lets him go and the Goaler also and so he escapes this is an Escape in the Goaler for that in such case the Goaler is bound to receive him by the hand of the Constable without any Precept of the Iustice of Peace But otherwise it is if a common person arrest another upon suspicion of Felony there the Goaler is not bound to receive him without a Precept of some Iustice of Peace There is an Escape also without an Arrest as if Murder be made in the day and the Murderer be not taken then it is an escape for which the Town where the Murder was done shall be amerced And it is to be observed That a man may be said to escape notwithstanding he always continues in Prison As if a man be in Prison upon two Executions at the Suit of two several men and the old Sheriff delivers over this Prisoner to the new Sheriff by Indenture according to the usual course and in the said Indenture makes no mention of one of the said Executions this Omission shall be said an Escape in Law instantly for which the Old Sheriff shall answer although the Execution was matter of Record whereof the new Sheriff might have taken notice But otherwise it is where the old Sheriff dies for in such case it behoves the new Sheriff at his peril to take notice of all the Executions that are against any person that he finds in the Gaol But in the said Case where the Sheriff dies and before another is made one that is in Execution breaks the Gaol and goes at large this is no Escape for when a Sheriff dies all the Prisoners are in the custody of the Law until a new Sheriff be made See Coke lib. 3. fol. 72. If the Sheriff upon a Capias ad satisfaciendum to him directed makes Return That he hath taken the Body and yet hath not the Body in Court at the day of the Return the Plaintiff may have his Action against the Sheriff for the Escape although the party so taken be in the Gaol See 7 H. 4. 11.

Rationabili parte bonorum RAtionabili parte bonorum is a Writ that lies for the Wife against the Executors of her Husband to have the third part of his Goods after Debts paid and Funeral expences discharged But whether this Writ lies by the Common Law or only by the Custom of some Countries is a question in our Books See F.

Recaption REcaption is a second Distress of one former distrained for the self-same cause and that during the Plea grounded upon the former Distress It is also the name of the Writ or Remedy that the Law gives him who is thus twice distrained for one thing the form and use of which Writ you may see in Fitz.

Their
Registry of Proceedings are not properly called Records But Courts of Law held by the Kings Grant are Courts of Record Recovery REcovery is commonly intended a common recovery by assent of parties to dock an Intail and is founded upon a Writ of Entry Also every Iudgment is a Recovery by the words Ideo consideratum est quod recuperet Recusants REcusants are all those who separate from the Church and Congregation by the Laws and Statutes established in this Realm of what opinion or Sect they are of As all the Iudges have expounded the Statute 35 Eliz. cap. 1. and divers other Stat.

See Manwood's Forrest Laws cap. 21. fol. 191. b. Regrator REgrator is he that hath Corn Victuals or other things sufficient for his own necessary use or spending and doth nevertheless ingross and buy up into his hands more Corn Victuals or other such things to the intent to sell the same again at a higher and dearer price in Fairs Markets or other such like places whereof see the Statute 5 E. 6. cap. 14. He shall be punished as a Forestaller Rejoynder REjoynder is when the Desendant makes answer to the Replication of the Plaintiff And every Rejoynder ought to have these two properties specially that is it ought to be a sufficient Answer to the Replication and to follow and enforce the matter of the Barre Relation RElation is where in consideration of Law two times or other things are considered so as if they were all one and by this the thing subsequent is said to take his effect by relation at the time preceding As if one deliver a writing to another to be delivered to a third person as the Deed of him who delivered it when the other to whom it should be delivered hath paid a summ of mony now when the money is paid and the Writing delivered this shall be taken as the Deed of him who delivered it at the time when it was first delivered So Petitions of Parliament to which the King assents on the last day of Parliament shall relate and be of force from the first day of the beginning of the Parliament And so it is of divers other like things Release RElease is the Giving or Discharging of the Right or Action which any hath or claims against another or his Land And a Release of Right is commonly made when one makes a Deed to another by these or the like words Remised released and utterly for me and my Heirs quite claimed to A. B. all my right that I had have or by any means may have hereafter in one Messuage c. But these words whatsoever I may have hereafter are void For if the Father be disseised and the Son release by his Deed without Warranty all his right by those words whatsoever I may have hereafter c. and the Father dies the Son may lawfully enter in the possession of the Disseisor Also in a Release of Right it is needful that he to whom the Release is made have a Freehold or a Possession in the Lands in Deed or in a Law or a reverston at the time of the release made for if he have nothing in the Land at the time of the release made the Release shall not be to him available See more hereof in Littl. lib. 3. cap. 8. Relicta verificatione RElicta Verificatione is when a Defendant hath pleaded and the issue is entred of Record And after that the Defendant relicta verificatione que est son Plea acknowledges the Action and thereupon Iudgment is entred for the Plaintiff Relief RElief is sometimes a certain summ of mony that the Heir shall pay to the Lord of whom his Lands are holden which after the decease of his Ancestor are to him descended as next Heir Sometimes it is the Payment of another thing and not mony And therefore Relief is not certain and alike for all Tenures but every several Tenure hath for the most part his special Relief certain in it self Neither is it to be paid always at a certain age but varies according to the Tenure As if the Tenant have Lands holden by Knights Service except grand Serjeanty and dies his Heir being at full age and holding his Lands by the Service of a whole Knights Fee the Lord of whom these Lands are so holden shall have of the Heir an hundred shillings in the name of the Relief and if he held by less than a Knights Fee he shall pay less and if more then more having respect always to the rate for every Knights Fee Cs. And if he held by grand Serjeanty which is always of the King and is also Knights Service then the Relief shall be the value of the Land by the year besides all charges issuing out of the same And if the Land be holden in Petit Serjeantie or in Socage then for the Relief the Heir shall pay at one time as much as he ought to pay yearly for his Service which is commonly called the Doubling of the Rent And if a man hold of the King in chief and of other Lords the King shall have the Ward of all the Lands and the Heir shall pay Relief to all the Lords at his full age but the Lords shall sue to the King by petition and shall have the Rent for the time that the Infant was in Ward But see now that by the Statute of 2 E. 6. cap. 8. the mesne Lords are not put unto their Petition but shall have all the Rents paid them by the Kings Officers upon request yearly during the Kings possession And note that always when the Relief is due it must be paid at one whole payment and not by parts although the Rent be to be paid at several Feasts See the Statute 12 Car. 2. cap. 24. Remainder REmainder of Land is the Land that shall remain after the particular Estate determined As if one grant Land for term of years or for life the Reinainder to J. S. that is to say when the Lease for years is determined or the Lessee for life is dead then the Land shall remain or abide with to or in J. S. See Reversion Remembrancer del Eschequer REmembrancer del Eschequer there are three Officers or Clerks there called by that name one is called the Remembrancer of the King the other of the Lord Treasurer and the third of the First fruits The Kings Remembrancer enters in his Office all Recognisances for
his Father and he shall have be no other Recovery against the Tenant or any other because such advantage is given by the Law to the Tenant And note that Fealty of common right belongs to Rent service but not to Rent charge nor Rent seck If a man distrain for Rent charge and the Distress be rescued from him and he was never seised before he hath no recovery but by Writ of Rescous for the Distress first taken gives not Seis â— to him unless he had the Rent before for if he were seised of the Rent before and after the Rent be behind and he distrain and Rescous be made he shall have Assise or a Writ of Rescous In every Assise of Rent charge and annual Rent or in a Writ of Annuity it behoves him that brings the Writ to shew an Especialty or else he shall not maintain the Assise But in an Assise of Mortdancestor or Formedon in the discender or other Writs in which Title is given or comprised brought of Rent charge or annual Rent the Especialty need not be shewn And note well that if a man grant a Rent charge to another and the Grantee release to the Grantor parcel of the Rent yet all that Rent is not extinct If Rent charge be granted to two joyntly and the one release yet the other shall have the half of the Rent And if the one purchase the half of the Land whereout the Rent is going the other shall have the half of the Rent of his companion And if the Disseisor charge the Land to a Stranger and the Disseisee bring an Assise and recover the Charge is defeated But if he that hath right charges the Land and a Stranger feign a false Action against him who hath no right and recovers by Default the charge abides In case Partition be between two Parceners and more Land be allowed to one then to the other and she that hath most of the Land charges her Land to the other and she happeth the Rent she shall maintain Assise without Especialty And it is a Rent seck where a man holds of me by Homage Fealty and other Services yielding to me a certain yearly Rent which I grant to another reserving to me the other Services If Rent seck be granted to a man and to his Heirs and the Rent be behind and the Grantor die the Heir may not distrain nor shall recover the arrearages of the time of his Father as it is said before of Rent services And in the same manner it is of Rent charge or annual Rent But in all these Rents the Heir may have for the arrerages in his own time such advantage as his Father had in his life See the Statute 32 H. 8. cap. 37. And note well that in Rent seck if a man be not seised of the Rent and it be behind he is without recovery for that it was his own folly at the beginning when the Rent was granted him or reserved that he took not Seisin of it as a peny or two pence A man may not have a Cessavit per biennium or any other Writ of Entry sur Cessavit for any Rent seck behind by two years but only for Rent service as it appears in the Stat. West 2. cap. 21. It behoves him that sues for Rent seck to shew a Deed to the Tenant cise the Tenant shall not be charged with the Rent except where the Rent seck was Rent service before as in this case Lord Mesne and Tenant and every of them holds of other by Homage and Fealty and the Tenant of the Mesne by 10 s. rent the Lord paramount purchases the Lands or Tenements of the Tenant all the Seigniory of the Mesne but the rent is extinct and for this cause this rent is become Rent seck and the Rent service changed for he may not distrain for this rent and in this case he that demands the rent shall never be charged to shew a Deed. Also in a Writ of Mordint-cestor Ayle or Besayle of rent seck it needs not to shew a Specialty for that these Writs of Possession comprehend a Title within themselves that is to say that the Ancestor was seised of the same rent and centinued his possession in respect of which Seisin the Law supposes that it is also averrable by the Countrey Yet learn for some suppose a necessity to shew forth a Deed because rent seck is a thing against common right as well as rent charge But in Assise of Novel disseisin and in a Writ of Entry sur disseisin brought of Rent seck it is needful to shew forth a Deed for that Rent seck is a thing against Common Right except in the case aforesaid where it was Rent service before and by the act of Law it is become Rent seck And Assise of Novel disseisin and a Writ of Entry sur disseisin contain within them no Title but suppose a Disseisin to be done to the Plaintiff and by the intendment of the Law the Disseisin gives no cause of Averment against common Right but there is a necessity to shew forth a Deed. Repleader REpleader is where the plea of the Plaintiff or Defendant or both are ill or an impertinent Issue joyned then the Court makes void all the Pleas which are ill and awards the Parties to replead Coke Entr. 152. and 221 224. Replevin REplevin is a Writ that lies where a man is distrained for Rent or other thing then he shall have this Writ to the Sheriff to deliver to him the Distress and shall find Surety to pursue his Action and if he pursue it not or if it be found or judged against him then he that tooks the Distress shall have again the Distress which is called the Return of the Beasts and he shall have in such case a Writ called Returno habendo But if the Defendant avow for Rent he may have Iudgment for the value of the Cattel by the Statute of 17 Car. 2. cap. 7. If it be in any Franchise or Bailiwick the party shall have a Replevin of the Sheriff directed to the Bailiff of the same Franchise to deliver them again and he shall find Surety to pursue his Action at the next County And this Replevin may be removed out of the County unto the Common place by Writ of Recordare See more of Replevin in the Title Distress Also see Mich. 2 E. 3. pl. 31. 7 E. 3. 27. pl. 13. the word Plevin where Land was taken out of the Kings hands and are afterwards delivered or replevied out of the Kings hands For which see Stat. 9. 3. cap. 2. The Writ of Homine replegiando lies where a man is in Prison and not by special commandment of the King nor of his Iustices nor for the death of a man nor for the Kings Forest nor for such cause which is not replevisable then he shall have this Writ directed to the Sheriff that he cause him to be replevied This Writ is a Justcies
the View that is that he may see the Land which he claims But if the Tenant hath had a View in one Writ and after the Writ is abated in misnaming the Town or by Ioyntenure and after the Demandant brings another Writ against the Tenant then the Tenant shall not have the View in the second Writ View of Frank pledge VIew of Frank pledge Visus franci plegii is the power to hold a Turn or Leet in which Courts every Free-man in ancient time became bound with Sureties at the age of fourteen years for his Truth to the King and his Subjects and thereupon those Courts were called the View of the free Pledges that is of such Free-men as were Pledges or Sureties one for another See Deciners Vi Laica removenda VI Laica removenda is a Writ that lies where Debate is between two Parsons or Provisors for a Church and one of them enters into the Church with great power of Lay-men and holds the other out with force and arms he that is holden out shall have this Writ directed to the Sheriff that he remove the Power which is within the Church and the Sheriff shall be commanded that if he find any men there withstanding he take with him the Power of his County if need be and arrest the Bodies of all those that resist and put them in Prison so that he have their Bodies before the King at a certain day to answer the Contempt And this Writ is returnable and shall not be granted before the Bishop of the place where such Church is hath certified in the Chancery such Resisting and Force Villain and Villainage TO hold in pure Villainage is to do all that that the Lord will him command The division of Villainage is Villain of Blood and of Tenure And he is a Villain of whom the Lord takes Redemption to marry his Daughter and to make him Free and it is he whom the Lord may put out of his Lands or Tenements at his will and also of all his Goods and Chattels A Sockman is no pure Villain nor does a Villain owe Ward Marriage or Relief nor does he any other Services real Tenure in Villainage shall make no Free-man Villain if it be not continued time out of mind nor shall Villain Land make a Free-man Villain nor Free-land make Villain Free except the Tenant have continued Free beyond the time of memory But a Villain shall make Free-land Villain by Seisin or by Claim of the Lord. If a Villain purchase Land and take a Wife and alien and dies before the Claim of Seisin of the Lord the Wife shall be endowed In case the Lord bring a Praecipe quod reddat against the Alience of his Villain who vouches to warrant the Issue of the Villain which is Villain to the Lord he shall have the Voucher And by protestation the Lord may notwithstanding he plead with his Villain save his Villain from being infranchised A Bastard shall not be judged Villain but by knowledge in Court of Record If Debt be due by a Lord to a Free-man and he makes two Men his Executors who are Villains to the said Lord and dies the Villains shall have an Action of Debt against their Lord. And notwithstanding that he plead with them and if he make Protestation they shall not be thereby infranchised for that they are to recover the Debt to the use of another person that is to say their Testator and not to their own use And if the Tenant in Dower have a Villain who purchases certain Land in Fee and after the Tenant in Dower enters she shall have the Land to her and her heirs for ever And the same Law is of Tenant for term of years of a Villain The Lord may rob beat and chastise his Villain at his will save only that he â— ay not maim him for then he shall have an Appeal of Maihem against him A Villain may have three Actions against his Lord that is to say an Appeal of the death of his Ancestor an Appeal of Rape done to his Wife and an Appeal of Miahem If two Parteners bring a Writ of Niefty and one of them be Nonsuit the Nonsuit of him shall be judged the Nonsuit of both so that if that Nonsuit be after Appearance they shall be barred from that Action for ever for such is the Law in favor of Liberty If two have a Villain in common and one of them makes him a Manumission he shall not be made free against both In a Writ de Nativo habendo it behoves that the Lord shew how the Defendant comes to be privy of the Blood of the Villain of whom he is Lord c. And if he nor any of his Aucestors were seised of any of his Blood he shall not gain by his Action if the Villain have not acknowledged himself in Court of Record to be his Villain In a Writ of Niefty may not be put more Niefs then two and this was first introduc'd in hatred of Bondage But in a Writ de Libertate probanda may be put as many Niefes as the Plaintiff will If the Villain be fled into Ancient Demesne of the King or other Town priviledged within a year and a day the Lord may seise him and if he dwell in the same Town or other place Franchised by a year and a day without seisin of the Lord he hath no power to seise him after if he go not out of the foresaid Franchise Some are Villains by title of Prescription that is to say that all their Blood have been Villains regardants to the Mannor of the Lord from time out of mind And some are made Villains by their Confession in a Court of Record Also the Lord may make a Manumission to his Villain and enfranchise him for ever If a Villain bring any Action against his Lord other then an Appeal of maihem and the Lord without protestation make answer to it by this the Villain is made free Also if a Villain purchase Land and hath Goods and sell the Goods and Lands before any Entry or Seisin made by the Lord the sale is good But the King Lord of a Villain in such case may enter and seise the Land after such sale made For no time runs against the King Note that this Title and Tenure are abolished by the Statute of Car. 2.
