That if the said ship and Goods did not come safe to London and put upon the Land that then he would satisfie to the Plaintiff 100. l. and that after the ship was robbed upon the Trade on the Sea for which he brought the action for not satisfying and the truth was that the bargain was made beyond sea and not in London But in an action upon the Case upon an Assumpsit and the like which is not local the place is not material no more then in debt for he alledged that the said goods in the parish of S.

H. 8. B. Intrusion 18. the end T is said for Law That a fine for alienation is one years value of the land aliened and the same Law of a Fine for intrusion upon the King But the Fine to have licence to alien is but the third part of the yearly value of the land which shall be aliened and for licence to alien in Mortmain the Fine is the value of the Land for three years 31. H. 8. B.

H. 8. B. Denizen 10. Nonability 40. T was said in the Kings Bench That to say that the Plaintiff is an alien born Judgement if he shall be answered is no plea in an action personal otherwise in an action real Yet this hath been in question after this time in the same Court and t was said that an alien born is no plea in Trespass if he doth not say further That the Plaintiff is of allegiance of one such a one enemy to the King for t is no plea in an action personal against an alien that he is of the allegiance of such a Prince which is of amity with the King 1.
