When the Connusor hath aliened part of his land yet the Connusor himselfe at the Will of the Connusee may be solely charged because he himselfe is the person which was the debtor and which was bound and therefore he and his lands may be solely charged Co. 3. 14. Br. suite 10 12. And as to a purchasor of lands although their said Lands after the judgement recognisance or Statute be subject to the execution yet such purchasors have greater priviledges given to them by the law then the Connusor himselfe or his heires have So that if land of a purchasor be onely extended for the entire debt such purchasor shall have contribution against all the others of the purchasors and against the connusor or his heir but note that by this word contribution it is not to be understood that the others shall give or allow to him any thing by way of contribution but ought to be intended that the purchasor or party which hath his lands onely extended for all may by Audita querela or scire facias as the case requireth defeate the execution and therby shall be restored to all the meane profits and drive the Connusee to sue execution of all the land so that in this manner every one shall be contributory that is the land of every ter-tenant shall be equally extended co 3. 14.

Defeasance to a Statue made after execution is good and defeateth aswell the Statute as the execution thereupon Co. 6. 13. But note where the Statute of Actor Burnell is that if the Prisors of the goods of the Connusor prize them too high in favour of the Debitor and to the dammage of the Creditor the things so prized shall be delivered to the Prisors by the same price and they to yield the Credtior his debt these Statutes are penall and extend not to any other Writs of execution but upon the Statute Merchant or Staple or recognizance and therefore upon a Writ of Elegit or other Writ of execution upon judgement if the extenders or prisors praise the lands or goods too high the Plantiff scil the Creditor hath no remedy Benl 4. P. and M. Note that when the lands or goods are delivered to the extenders they forthwith shall answer to the Creditor his debt by the words of the Statute and yet they shall not pay the money untill the daies assessed and limited in the extent Plow 205. b. If the Debitor complaine that his goods or lands were sold or delivered to the Connusee at too low a rate yet he hath no remedy Stat of Actor Bur. for in such cases the Debitor may pay the money and recover his lands and good 15 H. 7. 15. The creditor may well refuse to accept because the Sheriff will not deliver but parcell of the lands of the Connusor for if he accept it he shall be concluded to demand all afterward Fitz h. execution 84. 88. Execution upon a Recognizance REcognizance is an obligation of record acknowledged in any Court of Record or before any Judge or other Officer having authority to take it as before the Judges of the Kings Bench or of commons Pleas the Barons of the exchequer the masters of Chancery the Justices of Peace

c. those which are meere Recognizances are not sealed but are inrolled And sometimes are sealed with the seale of the party and may be with condition annexed or may bee single and then to have indentures of defeasance Also the King may by his commission give authority to any man to receive connusance of another man and to returne it in Chancery and by vertue of such commission if the man knowledge it before a commission any debt to another to be paid to him at a certain day and that certifieth into the Chancery with the commission c. Now upon certificate made of this connusance if he doth not pay the debt at the day he shall have an elegit upon this recognizance so taken aswell as if it were taken in the Chancery Upon a Recognizance there shall not goe a Capias but a Scire facias returnable in Chancery and upon the returne thereof they use to award a Capias a fieri facicias or an Elegit at the election of the Connusee 48 E. 3. fo 14. Upon a Recognisance the connusee may not have an action of debt against the heire for the recognizance is quod tunc vult concedit quod dictae pecuniae summa de bonis catall terr tenementis c. levetur so that the charge is imposed upon his Goods and Lands so that debt lieth not therupon against the heire co 3. 15. Yet upon a recognizance acknowledged to the use of the King although the words of the recognizance are de bon catt terr tenemenntis c. levetur the King shal have liable to his execution as wel the body as the lands goods of his Debitor see co 3. 12. b 11 93. a. Execution by force of a Recognizance in case of a common person shall bee of all the Goods and Chattels of the Connusor except his Plowcattle and implements of husbandry and of the moietie of his lands west 103.

This Statute of Westminster 2. which giveth the Elegit provideth quod Vicecomes liberet ei omnia cattalla c. medietatem terrae suae quousque debitum fuerit levat per rationabile praetium extentum which last word praetium is to be referred to Chattels extentum to be referred unto lands rationabile praetium extentum ought to be sound by inquisition and verdict scil the apprizing of the goods and the extent or valuation of the Lands ought to be per sacram 12. probor legalium hominum c. for the Sheriff himselfe cannot appraise the goods nor value nor extend the lands upon an elegit neither can the Sheriff upon an elegit deliver any goods in Execution or extend any lands but onely such as are appraised and valued by the Jurors of the inquisition Co. 4. 74. otherwise it seemeth of all other sorts of Executions The words of this Statute of Westminster 2 ca. 18. are thus liberent ei medietaeem terrae debiteris which by construction of Law is the moietie of all that he hath at the time of the judgment given or at any time after Co. 7. 19. and by the equity of that Statute the Sheriff may deliver to the Creditor or Connusee the moietie of the Rents Br. Parliament 10● Plow 178. Also these words in the said statute quousque debitum fuerit levatum shall be intended be or might be levied for if the Conusee or tenant by elegit or tenant by statute Merchant or Staple neglect to take the profits yet when the connusee might have been satisfied of his debt according to the extent the connusor shall have againe his land but it seemeth he may not enter in such case but is put to his scire facias Co. 4. 82. If Tenant by elegit be outed by a stranger there the time shall on and he is put to his remedie against the trespasser ibm If the Connusee be outed by wrong by the connusor or by any other claiming under him for life or years c. the connusee shall hold over co 4 66. If the lands delivered in execution be lawfully recovered taken or evicted from the possession of the connusee before his debt be satisfied he shall have a scire facias and upon that a new writ of Execution Statute 32 H. 8. ca. 5. co 3. 87. This Statute of Westminster 2. cap 18. that giveth the elegit doth not extend to Copyhold Lands for it should be prejudiciall to the Lord and against the custome of the Mannor that a stranger should have interest in the land holden by copy where by the custome it may not be transferred to any without c. co 3. 9. Terme for yeares may not be extended by the Sheriff upon elegit without finding the beginning and certainty of the terme by inquisition for execution by elegit ought to be by inquisition and if it be found by the inquisition that the debitor was possessed of certain land per terminum quorandum annorum ad tunc ventur This inquisition is insufficient for they ought to find the certainty and the reason is because that after the debt satisfied the party is to have again his terme if any part thereof remaine which certainty of terme ought to appear upon the returne of the Sheriff as it seemeth Cok. 4. 74. But upon a Fieri facias the Sheriff may sell the lease or terme without reciting any certainty scil the Sheriff may recite that the Debitor hath a terme of such a thing pro terminis diversis annorum ad nunc ventur and that he sold that by force of a fieri facias to I. S. and that is good so if the Sheriff sell all the interest that the Debitor hath in the Land that is good notwith●standing misreticall for by the common intendment the Sheriff may not have precise connuzance of the certainty of the commencement and certainty of the end of the terme but if he take upon him to recite the terme and mistake it reciting it falsly and sell the same terme this sale is void because there is not any
