A90794	An exact abridgment in English, of The commentaries, or reports of the learned and famous lawyer, Edmond Plowden, an apprentice of the common law. Concerning diverse cases and matters in law, and the arguments thereupon; in the times of the reignes of King Edward the Sixth, Queen Mary, King Philip, and Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth, with the exceptions to the pleadings, and answers thereunto; the resolutions of the matters in law, and all other principall matters arising upon the same. By F.H. of the Inner Temple London, Esq;	Plowden, Edmund, 1518-1585.; Hicks, Fabian.	1650 (1650)	Wing P2609A; Thomason E1297_1; ESTC R208982	174,168	307

this shall remain is a limitation of time when this shall vest and not a condition by Hinde and Montague 6. Admitting that it be a condition yet a remainder may depend upon a condition By Hales Hinde and Montague and adjudged accordingly 7. The Plaintiff hath not conveyed to himself Title to have benefit of the breach of the condition if it be broken By Montague Pollard Serjeant for the Plaintiff Except that the Form of the Plea is sufficient 1 Because he doth not aver his continual residence after the Remainder happened but after his entry which may happen to be long time after and so although that he hath performed the words of the condition which hath not satisfied the intent thereof yet he hath not performed the condition because the intent was That he should have all the Mannor So 21. H. 6.10 A man is bound that his Feoffees of the Mannor of D. should grant a Rent of 40. s. to the Plaintiff He had three Feoffees and two of them grant the said Rent to him and there all the Justices said That it shall be intended all the Feoffees so that alwaies the intent of the condition ought to be as well performed as the words of the condition and here the intent of the condition appears to be That Hospitality shall be kept upon the Grange continually from the beginning to the end of the Term which is the death of the Husband and the Wife and here he hath not shewed that he entred within as short time as he conveniently could after the death of the Husband and Wife and therefore because he hath not shewed and averred this he hath not shewed the performance of the condition and therefore his plea is not good For in all cases where the time is issuable he ought also to shew it certainly and therefore in 32. H. 6. it is held That if a man plead a Lease for years made to him that he ought to shew what day the Lease was made because it is issuable So in 33. H. 6.44 In debt by an Executor the Defendant saith That the Testator made the Plaintiff and one R. his Executors at L. the which R. is alive and not named judgement of the Writ and the Plaintiff confessing it saith That after this time last assigned by the Plaintiff that the Testator made the Plaintiff his sole Executor in Middlesex and the Defendant saith That after this time last assigned by the Plaintiff that the Testator made the Plaintiff and R. his Executors after this time and the Plea of the Defendant was not held good for that the day on which the Plaintiff and R. were made Executors is uncertain So 3. H. 6.33 In Trespass the Defendant pleads in Bar the day of the retaining of the Plaintiff who traverseth the Bar and the Defendant enforced to shew the day certain Matter in Law As to the matter in Law it seemeth to him that the Remainder is void because it ought alwaies to be limited to take its effect after the partricular estate ended and not during the particular estate for if it be limited and appointed to take its effect during the particular estate then it shall be utterly void As if A. Leases to B. for life the Remainder for life and if B. dies that it shall remain over to a stranger in Fee this Remainder is void for that it is appointed to take effect immediately after the first estate for life ended for if the Remainder in Fee should commence then it shall avoid the Remainder for life so if a Lease be made to two the Remainder over in Fee after the death of the first of them this Remainder is void because the Survivor shall have the Land So in the principal case it is given to the Baron and Fem for their lives the Remainder to the eldest son for life upon conditon That if the eldest die living husband and wife that then it shall remain to the Defendant for life which cannot be for the first estate at this time continues and if the Remainder shall be good it drowns the estate of husband and wife and therefore the Remainder void and also for that it is limited to commence upon condition which enures alwaies in privity therefore if a lease for life be made rendring rent and upon condition That if the Rent be arear that then it shall remain to a stranger in Fee if the Rent be arear and not paid the remainder is void for the Remainder which commence upon condition is not good otherwise it is if an estate be made for life upon condition That if the Tenant for Life dies it shall remain over this Remainder is good because that it commenceth upon the Determination of the I state the which is certain and therefore no condition because conditions are alwaies incertain and may be performed or broken and as our Law is for to know the time certain when the things pass from one to another and namely Free-hold because the Law hath it in greater estimation then other things and so to prevent contention hath ordained Ceremonies to be used as in every Feoffment Livery and in every Grant Reversion or Rents c. That Attornment shall be made the which are points certain containing time and by them Estates pass Rules to know when Remainders are good The Law hath appointed that every Remainder shall have three things by the matters aforesaid as Notes and Rules certain for to discern when good The first is an Estate precedent made at the same time that the remainder Commences and that the particular Estate continue when the Remainder vests and that the remainder be from the Donor at the time of Livery and if any of the said three things fail the Remainder is void And therefore for the first point if the Lessor confirm the state of his Tenant for years the Remainder in Fee this Remainder is vold for that the Estate for years was made before the Remainder So if a Lessor disseise his Tenant for Life and after makes a new Lease to him for Life the remainder in Fee this Remainder is void because it is a Remitter to his Estate So an Estate precedent was not made at the time of the remainder and therefore the Remainder is void So the Heir endows his Mother Remainder in Fee by reason of Relation and so the precedent Estates are made before the Remainder appointed Secondly That the particular Estate continue when the remainder vests as 21. H. 7.12 per Frowick Lease for Life upon Condition That if he doth not such an Act that his Estate shall cease and that then the Remainder over is void because the Estate precedent is determined before the Remainder appointed and the Remainder must vest during the particular Estate Thirdly because the Remainder passes from the Lessor at the time of the delivery as Hales Hinde and Montague say and as it is proved by the Cases before cited So Perkins 12. and 19.

probat And by him the Ordinary ought not to suffer the Executor to refuse after he hath once medled with the Goods of the Testator for if before the probat he had released a Debt and after he proves the Will this hath made the release good Walsh probat maketh the Release of the Executor made before good because it is a consummation of the Will and refers to the death Dier Chief Justice If the Ordinary commit and after the Metropolitan commit to another because the intestate hath Goods of the value of 10 l. in diverse Dioces 10. H 7.18 this disproves the authority of the first Administrator and avoids his mean Acts and by Keeble the second Administrator shall have Trespass against the first for taking of the first Goods So 7. E. 4.12 Executor pleads that he hath proved the Testament the action of the Administrator depending against him a good Bar because the power of the Administrator disproved and mean acts avoided by Probat of the Testament and the Executor which is made not knowing of it if he agree after good seems to be 3. H. 7.14 The Ordinary ought to award Proces against the Executor to come in for to prove the Testament before he commits the Administration The Probat here disproves the Administration for ever and proves the Executor to be full Executor from the death of the Testator and is not like to the cases before fol. 239. because the mean time in which no Executor and this time the Ordinary hath authority The Seal of the Ordinary put to the administration is but matter in fact and no estopple and the executor shall not be inforced to sue in the spiritual Court to recall this but shall avoid it by Plea or by matter in fact as 44. E. 3.16 A. bringeth Debt against B. as administrator and sheweth certainly how his Deed was as he ought B. saith he and another are executors Judgement of the Writ and shew forth the Testament to prove it A. offers to aver that he died intestate B. saith to it he shall not be received contrary to the Testament proved and under Seal to take the Plaintiff from his averment but that he shall have it and try it by the Country also the taking of Letters of Administration discharges not a Suit against those which were executors of their own wrong before 21. H. 6.8 2. R. 3.20 So 34. H. 6.14 in debt by the Administrator the Defendant received to avoid Letters of Administration by saying the dead made an executor and taking issue upon it Chapman against Dalton A Man makes a Lease for 21. years by Indenture and Covenants with his Lessee Tr. 7. El. in the K. B. Covenant and his Executors to make a new Lease for 21. years after the expiration of the first to the Lessee and his Assignes the Lessee dies and the Executor of the Executor brings Covenant after the first Lease determined against the Lessor and adjudged good 1. That the executor is an Assignee in Law to whom the Lease ought to be made and so the executor of an executor by the Common Law 2. That the Lease ought to be made to the Lessee if he were alive or to his Assignes in Deed and if he die Assignee in Deed then to his executor and although that the Covenant be in the Copulative in the Letter yet it shall be expounded disjunctive in sense for to avoid absurdity or impossibility 3. Admitting that the word Assignee were void or omitted out of the deed yet this shall be made to the executor for that the intent was such which shall be performed where the words could not Baber and Wray argued for the Defendant as it is abridged by Ash fol. 50. Fleetwood and another apprentice for the Plaintiff Every Covenant and Grant shall be taken most strong against the Maker and most available to the other And if the words thereof have a double sense that which is for the benefit of the Grantee shall be taken then the word Assigned here shall be drawn to so effectuall sense for the avail of the Grantee And if the word Assignee as the Councel on the part of the Defendant would have it applied to a limitation viz. in the sense of an Habendum to him and his Assignes for 21. years it is void and conveys no benefit to the Grantee because if I Lease to A. for 21. years and his Assignes shall have this as largely as I do vest this Lease in him and his Assignes because the Law gives power to him to assign it to another Assignee hath two senses in the one it signifies the person to whom the thing granted or given shall be afterwards conveyed by him which hath the thing as the Lessor Grants to the Lessee for years That he or his Assignes shall have twenty Carts of Wood annually in such a Wood Assignee there hath the sense of the person to whom he shall Assign the Lease So one warrants Land to the Feoffee his Heirs and assignes there the second Feoffee shal vouch So I sell a Horse upon Condition That if I pay 40 s. to him or his Assignees that I shall have the horse again Assignee there is he to whom he grants the horse but such Assignee is not in our case because he hath not any estate first made and such a one is Assignee after the thing granted in the second it contains the person to whom the thing which is to be made and is not made shall be made as I am bound to make a Feoffment or give a horse to you or your Assignee there the Assignee is such a person which you shall name to me to receive and the Assignee in this sense is before the things done or granted and Assignes in this sense is in the first also But with this in the first sense we have not to do here there are Assignes in Deed and Law in Deed where you name such a one to whom I shall make the Feoffment or give the horse in Law where you name no man to receive then the Executor shall have it because the Law saith That they are your Assignes to such purpose and present your person as to receive any Chattels real or personal So 27. H. 8 2. Executor is an Assignee in Law to take a Rental where the Lessee bound himself to deliver it to the Lessor or his Assignes at the end of the Term a true rental and the Lessor made no Assignee he is an ill expounder which confounds the Text. And therefore here and the Copulative shall be taken for or the Disjunctive for otherwise the sense will be absurd that the Lessee if he had been alive at the end of the first Lease should not take a new Lease until he names his Asasignee or impossible as joyning his assignee in law with him because he cannot have an Executor in his life So in our Law a copulative is taken as a disjunctive and a disjunctive as a

not agree otherwise then for landing because the Statute will as if a Baily pay the debts of his Master he shall not be allowed for this in his accompt without specialty but if he pay Quit-Rents issuing out of the Land he shall be allowed for this for that the payment of this belongeth to his Office And so if the Collector accept another Agreement then is intended by the Statute this shall not help the party and said that agreement upon condition ought to be performed before it be pleaded as if I give all the money in my purse to I. S. he cannot have his action for it except that he alleadge the certainty of it So here wherefore judgement shall be given for the King Pollard Serjeant for the Defendant An agreement upon condition is an agreement as a Feoffment upon condition is a Feoffment and included in words of the issue that is to say in this word Agreement which contains every agreement So 36. H. 6.2 In debt upon a Regognisance and the Defendant saith That there is no such Recognisance whereupon they were at issue and at the day c. a Recognisance with condition was certified held good and that he had not failed of the Record because a Recognisance upon condition is held to be a Recognisance So here the agreement general was put in issue the which shall be intended the more common agreement and this is the general agreement and the evidence given by W. proves a special agreement viz. an agreement upon condition which is other then the agreement tendred by the issue therefore the Demurrer shall be adjudged for the King and Informer Sir as to this I answer That by the arguments made before nothing hath been put in issue but if they agree according to the Statute so here admitting that the agreement general had been in issue but the especial is The especial matter viz. Tempest super hoc agreavit are in the affirmative and may stand together and therefore both remain as one entire matter and substance of the issue As if the Tenant pleads special Bastardy against the Plaintiff in mort D'ancester and alleadge this incertain as he ought viz. That the Plaintiff was ingendred between I. and A. and born before marriage then they marry and conclude as he ought and so Bastard This conclusion hath not avoided the special matter before for if so then it should be Bastard generally and triable by the Bishop and then shall be by him certified Mulier because such is a mulier in the law spiritual but shal be tried here by Assize and therefore the special matter remains and the issue is taken thereupon So 3. H. 7.5 by Keble One counts of a gift in formedon and being demandant maintains it by recovery in value by reason of a Warranty and so gave the Tenant ought not to traverse the conclusion viz. as he should do if he had avoided the special matter before because it is matter in fact triable by the Countrey but he ought to answer to the recovery triable by Record which proves That the special matter before the conclusion shall remain So 32. H. 6.14 by Litl If the Plaintiff in Assize makes to himself a Title and concludes and so he was seised until by the Defendant disseised now if this conclusion hath avoided the especial matter before then it ensueth that the Defendant cannot answer to the Title but the Law is That he ought to answer to the Title and traverse it by which it is proved that the conclusion hath not avoided the especiall matter before and in all these cases the matter before the conclusion and the conclusion are in the Affirmative as in Debt the Defendant pleads payment and so ows nothing and in Trespass the Defendant pleads a gift of the goods and so not guilty when it is agreed between any That a principal thing shall be done or had and before that this may be done or had there is another thing first to be done which is not certainly agreed who shall do the other thing the Law appoints him which hath the most skill to do the said other thing So 9. E. 4.4 One is bound to make the great Bell of M. tunable with the other Bels there in that case to say in Debt by Obligation That the Bell was not weighed judgement if action is no Plea because in construction of the Law he shall weigh it for it belongeth to his Office So a Taylor bound to make a gown shall shape the cloth So here the Collector in behalf of the King shall have the Subsidie which is the principal thing and therefore he shall weigh for it belongeth to his Office to try the certainty for without certainty the King may not be satisfied And in Trespass because that he justisies the necessary circumstance and mean or hath Title to the principal thing as 2. R. 2. Fitz. Bar. 333. and Perkins fol. 23. He may cut and carry trees granted to him and justifie it although the grass is spoiled by it So one may take Fishes in a Pond with Nets and justifie it but if he digg a Trench to drain out the water not A Collector may weigh when he pleases for where one shall have benefit upon the first act to be done by him and no time is limited when he shall do it the Law saith That it shall be done at his pleasure So the Mortgager shall pay when he pleaseth when no time is limited so one may marry the daughter of A. when he pleaseth if no time be limited so in the principal case for as much as payment shall be made to the Collector upon the weighing and no time is limited for the weighing the Law refers the time of it to the will of the Collector and so the agreement is good and perfect 3. H. 7.11 The Sheriff takes A. by Capias now he doth well but if he return non est inventus then he shall be a Trespassor ab initio but here the not weighing because the King refers this to the Collector in the behalf of the King in his default the agreement shall not be made void ab initio in prejudice of the Defendant which before was good notwithstanding that the agreement special is an agreement as Sanders confesseth yet it shall be construed best viz. general for the King as he urged The rules of the Common Law in the construction of Statutes prohibite this for Statutes Penal shall be taken and restrained to their general words favourably and to the benefit and not prejudice of him against whom the pain is inflicted and shall not extend farther then the words as W. 2. cap. 40. saith where the husband aliens the land of his wife quod secta mulieris non differatur c. per minorem aetatem heraedis qui warrantizare debet and saith not the Heir of the husband nor of a stranger yet 18. E. 4.16 and 17. E. 4.59 postea 47.

Remainder to the right Heirs of I. S. in Life passes from the Lessor presently although it vests not presently but here the Remainder passeth not presently because the Condition precedes the Remainder as 15. H. 7. 1. if A. Grant to B. That when he is promoted to a Benefice or do such an Act he shall have an Annuity there he shall shew his Promotion if he demands his Annuity because it is a Condition precedent and to him which maketh the Grant but if he Grants an Annuity until he be promoted there he shall not shew it because the Promotion is subsequent to the Annuity and will defeat the Annuity and therefore it shall be shewed by the other party which is contray So 7. E. 3.10 A Lessee for eight years rendring 10. s. yearly and if he holdeth over to him and his heirs an action of Debt is maintainable during the Term for the Rent is a Chattle because the Fee passeth not presently for that the Condition precedes the Fee So 6. R. 2. a Lease to two for years upon Condition That if the Lessee aliens within the Term or die he shall have Fee it is holden that the Fee passeth not presently because the Condition precedes it which Cases prove That the Remainder passes not out of the Lessor at the time of the Livery albeit that the Condition precede the Remainder and proves also That the Remainder Commenceth upon Condition and proves also That the Remainder is appointed to begin after the Commencement of the particular Estate the which is contrary to the grounds of Law and therefore and for the said other causes the Remainder shall be void And so for the insufficiencie of the matter of the Bar and Form also the Plaintiff shall recover Cook Serjeant to the contrary As to the two Exceptions which have been moved That the Plea is not good because he shews not that he hath been resiant after the deaths of the Husband and Wife alwaies nor what day he entred Sir I take it That it shall be taken that he entred immediately after the death of the Husband and Wife for the Defendant hath pleaded by way of Bar and if the Bar hath matter of substance and is good to a common intent it sufficeth although it be not good to every special intent and therefore in the Case of 33. H. 6. fol. 24. where the Defendant pleads That the Testator made the Plaintiff and one R. his Executor Judgement c. The Plea was good without shewing that he was made after that the Plaintiff was made sole Executor because it shall be intended after So 10. H. 7. 15. by Keble in Trespas the Defendant pleads his Free-hold good because good by Common intendment yet the Plaintiff might have an Estate for years and it may stand with his Bar and by which he may punish the default but such special matter will not be intended So 6. E. 4.1 in Debt upon an Obligation the Defendant saith That he hath done such things as was contained in the Indenture and at Issue and found for the Plaintiff and spoken to in Arrest of Judgement because the Defendant said not that the two Covenants were all and so had not alleadged the performance of all but held good because by Common intent there shall not be intended more then two Covenants if the Plaintiff shew not the contrary So 3. H. 6.4 in Formedon he gave not prima facie a good Bar because it intends a general gift and yet it may be That the Land was recovered in value and then the Plea is not apt for other Land was given So 3. H. 6.3 In Debt nothing in their hands pleaded by Executors good yet it may be that other goods first not the Testators at the day of his death are come to their hands in place instead of other goods So 21. H. 6.17 In Assise the Defendant was in by discent where he had a mean Title which tolled the Assise of the other shall not be void by the said recovery but this shall not be intended without shewing so discent and entry in Bar good yet it may be that a stranger abated and dyed seised and the Heir could not enter but if shall not be intended without shewing specially but when a thing Commenceth in respect of the time then the certainty of the time shall be shewed fol. 24.27.33 as 20. H. 7.12 by Rede A Servant which demanded 20. s. Sallary for his service by the year ought to shew the expiration of the year because the Action is given in respect of the year past and the time is parcell of the cause of the Demand and precedes the Demand but here the time pursues the Remainder and is not cause of the Remainder and therefore we ought to shew it so certainly as where time gains a thing for here it goeth in defeasance of the thing and therefore the Bar is good notwithstanding the said two Exceptions besides it seemeth to me the Remainder is good For first he hath an Estate here upon which the Remainder may be grounded here the remainder is appointed thereupon but the cause wherefore the Remainder shall not be good is alleadged in two great points viz. because the Fee passeth not presently forth of the Lessor and also for that the Remainder cannot pass upon Condition And it seems to me That the Remainder passeth out of the Lessor presently howbeit that it vests not presently as in Litl 81. A Lease for five years if he pay within the first two that then he shall have Fee the Fee passeth out of the Lessor presently so the Remainder to the right Heirs of I. S. in life and a Remainder may Commence upon Condition as a Lease for life upon Condition That I. S. Marry my Daughter during the state for Life which shall remain to him is good because he hath an Estate upon which it may be grounded So 34. E. 3. Devise for Life upon Condition That if the Heir to whom the Reversion discends disturbs Tenant for Life or his Executors of their Administration That then the Land shall remain to the Daughter of the Devisor and to her Heirs and dyeth Tenant for Life dyeth the Son of the Daughter brings his Formedon against the Heir because he disturbs the Tenant and also the Executors of the Tenant traverse it and at issue and upon this issue is joyned which should not have been so if the Remainder had not been good Also if Assent as 18. E. 4. 12. by Catesby ante 8. post 31. to the Diseisen made before to anothers use may Traverse the Free-hold from one to another à fortiori a condition may namely where the Franck-Tenement precedes to which a Condition may be annexed Morgan Serjeant for the Plaintiff The Plea is not good because it doth not shew the day in certain of the death of W. nor of the Husband and Wife but he argued not this Also it is not good because he shewed not the

compulsive so that he shall have prejudice if he doth not but is a thing obligable at the will of the Defendant and then his entry is not material but is at pleasure and therefore the not shewing thereof shall not make the Plea vicious Admitting that it be a Condition yet it is subsequent and in Defeasance of his Estate 30. And therefore shall not be shewed by him but by him which shall have benefit by the breaking of it So if a Condition be enlarged which may be good leaveth that out which is material because it is Surplussage Also it hath no Livery for to convey Title nor hath it enabled him any waies to take the benefit of the breach of the Condition if it were broken because he hath Demurred generally upon the Bar in which the Defendant hath not acknowledged any reversion And so it appeareth not by the Record that he is other then a meer stranger And by the Common Law no man shall take benefit of a Condition but such a one as is privy And therefore 38. H. 8.34 Pattentees of the King after 177. Also if it be a Condition during the Term it shall be intended all the Term as a man bound to perform Covenants is bound to perform all and his Feoffees fol. 30. Yet if he be sometimes absent and his Family there it is good because the Law shall have a reasonable Construction in things alwaies If W. dies then the Remainder is a Limitation and appoyntment of the time when the remainder shall vest But admitting that it be a Condition yet a Remainder may depend upon a Condition which every lawfull owner of the land may give to what person or persons and in what manner and at what time he pleaseth if his gift be not against Law or repugnant as 10. E. 3.39 A man makes to his Termor in surety of his Term a Charter of Feoffment upon Condition That if he be disturbed of any part of his Term that then he shall have Fee he was disturbed and afterwards outed and recovers in Assise which proves that the Franck-Tenant passed upon condition express to the Livery be it mediate or immediate it stales not the Remainder because his Livery shall be taken most strongly against him So 27. H. 8.24 Remainder to a stranger if the gift fail for bearing of the standard So in Plessintons case it is held That the estate of Free-hold there could not Commence upon Condition but the cause wherefore was because he had not the Free-hold upon performance of the Condition which was repugnancie So a Remainder upon condition contrary to the Law or impossible is not good because a Condition unlawfull or impossible may not obtain the thing by doing of it So if the Do●… aliens then it shall remain is not good because repugnant for when he hath aliened to one it may not remain to another Remainder ought to have estate precedent for that 9. H. 6.24 Lease to a Monk Remainder over void because a Monk hath not capacity and so the estate which precedes the Remainder void Remainder also ought to be of a thing in esse before and therefore a Grant of a rent out of land remainder in Fee void because the rent was not in esse before and the remainder here passeth presently by the Livery upon possibility to be afterwards performed and vests when W. dies and in the mean time rests in abeyance as 15. H. 7.10 Fee Tail passeth upon possibility That a Fem Covert and a married man may inter-marry and in the mean time the Inheritance viz. The Tail shall be in abeyance but holden there That they are seised in Tail presently and concludes that the Remainder is good and the pleading also and so the Plaintiff shall be Barred Plat against the Sheriffes of London ONe Goodlad was in Execution Ludgate upon a recovery in Debt had against him by plaint in the Guild-Hall of London 4 E. 6. In the Excheq and going with a Baston that is to say a Servant of the Gaolers attending upon him into Southwark in the County of Surrey and the Administrator of him which recovered brings his Bill of Debt into the Exchequer against the Sheriffs for the escape and adjudged that he should recover thereupon But no exceptions were taken to the Bill and the reasons of the Judgement were 1. For that the Action lyeth at the Common-Law by 45. E. 3.9 Debt against one Abbot or Prior and also for that That he had not remedy against him which escaped for by the esape he is discharged for ever against the party and the Goaler also and the Officer which suffers the escape is charged contrary to 13. H. 7.1 But the Action lay not by the Common Law by 42. ass 11. 2. Admitting that it lay not by the Common Law yet it lyeth by equity of the Statute of 1. R. 2. c. 12. which gives an Action against the Warden of the Fleet or by the equity of the Statute of Westm 2. c. 11. which gives an Action against the Gaoler which suffers an Accomptant for to escape 3. The defendants have admitted the action good by their Demurrer 4. That it is an escape because he was out of the Jurisdiction and Authority of the Sheriffs and that his Imprisonment is ended the last instant that he was in London and his escape began the first instant that he came into Southwark and so he was never in prison in Southwark for he had no guard there The effect of every suit contains and implies in it selfe 3. things First to shew the verity of the matter to the Judge thereof which is the duty of the party Secondly to have judgement to recover and execution thereupon and this is the duty of the Judge Thirdly the making of execution for to take the Defendants body and detain it in prison and this is the duty of the Officer and because he only hath offended it is reason that he be punished that is That he answer the loss to the Plaintiff for that he hath not any remedy against him which escapes nor the Gaoler never apprehended him because a personal thing once suspended is extinguished and therefore if the Debtee maketh the Debtor and another which surviveth the Debtor his Executors yet the Debt is extinct and the person of either of them discharged Therefore in respect that after the escape the Plaintiff shall not have other execution and so without any remedie against the Defendant in the first suit the Common Law which is Common Reason provides That the Plaintiff shall have an Action of Debt against the Gaoler in whose default the Execution of the Plaintiff or otherwise the Common Law will be defective in this point And therefore by 45. E. 3. 9.

If the Tenant vouches out of the line So an Executor of an Executor shall have account without recital of the Statute of 25 E. 3. cap. 5. So 5. H. 7.17 Information for Liveries good without reciting of the Statute Misrecital of the surplusage shall not make the mattor bad as 21. H. 6.1 by Newton one as an Executor shall not bring an action of Debt upon a Contract made with himself he shall not shew the Testament for that the naming of him Executor is surplusage So 33. H. 6.19 by Danby in Detinue against two as Executors They shall not plead that another is Executor with them because they are not charged as Executors But Detinue is cause of Action and the naming of them Executors is surplusage A man shall not aver that which by the Statute is made apparent as the Lord shew that he entred into the Land within the year because his Tenant aliened to the Dean and Chapter he shall not aver that it is Mortmain because it appeareth now nor here that it is a pretenced right because he counts that the Defendant nor his Ancestors c. were not in possession the space of a year before the Lease and then is pretenced Conveyance to the Action as the Lease is here shall not be pleaded So certainty is the substance it self as appeareth 34. H. 6.4 by Prisot in decies lantum If the Plaintiff sheweth such part of the Record as conveys him to his Action it is sufficient without shewing all But a Writ judicial ought to recite the Record certainly out of which it issueth because the Record is the substance and effect there and not only the Conveyance a stranger to the Deed or thing as the Plaintiff here is to the Lease that he pleads shall not shew the certainty of it as 35.
