DIVISIO 2da OR The second dayes Reading or Lecture Where a man shall prescribe according to the ancient forme and where not and what prescriptions shaâ— be good upon this limitation anâ—… what not A Man may prescribe thâ—â— he and his ancestors 〈◊〉 predecessors or thoâ—â— whose estate c. werâ— seised from the time thâ—â— contrary whereof c. as before thâ—â— Statute yet he shall not alledge or declare in the record of a seisin within 6â—… yeeres before the confession of the prescription yet it seemeth that he shall take advantage in evidence of the prescription of an ancient seisin before 60. yeeres with a seisin alledged within 60. yeeres without elder commencement And therefore the prescription as it seemeth ought to be elder but he cannot alledge nor declare in the record but within 60. yeeres but may enforce it in evidence at large quod nota And by the generall ancient forme of prescription it shall be intended meant as a prescription of which part of the seisin is within 60. yeares according to this Statute In a Quod permittat the plaintife prescribes in him and those whose estate he hath in the Manour of D. for common appointment from the time of King Rich. the first he may doe it well notwithstanding this statute Because the Statute doth not extend to a prescription by whose estate c. but to a prescription in him his ancestors and predecessors A Quo Warranto the plaintife prescribes in him and his ancestors for toll traverse from the time c. to have a peny for every load of stuffe carryed overmy land to his Mannour c. this is a good prescription Because this is to goe overthwart my land but through toll is to goe over the way through my land and therefore contrary there and the prescription shall serve as a new title by the usage afterwards Assise of common the plaintife made title to common appendant in the Mannour of the defendant the defendant prescribes that he c. and all his ancestors whose heire he is c. have used from the time of Rich. the first to put forth of their Commons such cattle which were not levant and couchant upon the same lands to which c. and for that that those cattle were not levant c. he put them forth c. this is a good prescription Because it is not to recover any thing but to discharge onely In a Quo Warranto c. the plaintife prescribes in him and his ancestors Lords of the Manour of D. from the time c. to take a peny for every load of through toll of those which carry through his Mannour this is a good prescription For the reasons before alledged and because it is contrary to common right In a Quo warranto the party prescribed in him and his ancestors Lords of the Mannor of D. to have cognisance of pleas and to hold plea in the Court of the Mannour aforesaid from the time of c. this is a good prescription Because he cannot prescribe in the grant of pleas Assise of land the def. disclaimes in the survey and prescribes that he and his ancestors seised of the Mannor of D. have used from the time of R. 1. c. that when such a gutter which conduceth water to such a house was ruinous to enter into this land and to repaire it and that he therefore entred to repaire this is a good prescription notwithstanding this Statute Because he is not to recover anything but to have easement because the Statute doth not speake but only of prescription to lands tenements commons rents portions pensions and hereditaments A quod permittat of common theplantife made title by prescription from the time of R. 1. c. the defendant said that he c. have been within age successively de tempore c judgement c. this shall not avoid the prescription Because this is a Law as a condition or recovery A man hath had a Faire and one Market by prescription from the time of R. 1. c. which is seised into the Kings hands 60. yeeres past by non-claime in a Quo Warranto before this Statute c. he shall never have the liberties again by prescription nor otherwise Because he might replevie them within 50. yeeres A man which had a Leet and Warren and Wreck by the Kings grant made no claime to the same before the Justices in Eyre 62. yeeres past by which his liberties are seised into the Kings hands and yet he and his heires continually used the same afterwards and in a Quo Warranto his heire made title to that by prescription according to this limitation he shall not have his liberties by this prescription A man hath had catalla felonum fugitivorum from the time of R. 1. c. and hath had allowance in Eyre and afterwards makes his
2. s. and sute of Court the Lord brings a Cessavit against both and hath execution and distraines in the other moity and makes an avowry for sute upon a seisin within 50. yeares according to this Statute this avowry is not good Because by this recovery and execution the entire sute is gone because he cannot be contributory to himselfe contrary of a rent because that shall be apportioned note the difference Lord and Tenant by fealty and foure shillings rent the Lord releases the rent to the tenant and to the heires of his body the tenant dies without issue the Lord distraines his next heire and makes an avowry upon this limitation for rent due after the death of the Tenant the avowry well lyeth Because a release for one houre to tenant in fee-simple as to the title of the Land is good for ever and yet contrary of a rent Fitz Voucher 120.13 E. 3.92 because that was his estate in the rent and so is it there adiudged Lords measne and tenant every one holds of each other by iiii d the Lord releaseth to the Tenant all his right in the Land and after the measne distraines and avowes for iiii d upon the tenant upon this limitation the avowry doth not lie Because by the release the moity is extinct Lord and Tenant by fealty and iiii d rent the rent is behinde the Lord disseiseth the Tenant of the same Land and continueth possession by a yeare and after the tenant recovers by an Assise the Lord distraines and makes an avowry for arrerages due before the disseisin upon this limitation this is a good avowry 8. E. 3.37 Because all is received by the recovery and nothing shall be recompted but that which is before the unity A man hath issue a son and a daughter by one Venter and a son by another and is seised of two acres of Land and grants x. s. rent charge in fee out of one to the son the son dies without issue and after the father dyes the daughters enter and make partition and the acre charged is allotted to the youngest the eldest daughter distraines his sister and makes an avowry upon this limitation for 5. s. this is goods Because nothing is extinct but the moity of the rent for nothing is descended of the Land to the eldest daughter but the moity of the land but the entire rent is descended to him 34. E. 3. Quintons Case A man makes one Steward of his Mannor and gives x. li. fee to him with distresse officio suo exequendo with manger and boyer for terme of life and the Steward leaseth the fee and the manger and boyer to the Lord of the Mannor for foure yeares rendring to him 12 li per annum with clause of distressein the Mannor by deed indented the Steward doth not keep the Courts and afterwards distraines for the 12 li and makes an avowry upon this limitation the avowry doth not lie Because it is extinct by the nonfeasance of the services c. 20. E. 4.12 because when the Rent comes by reason of the Land there a lease to the Lord is a suspension but contrary where it commeth ratione personae per Curiam Tenant in taile aliens in fee with warranty and leaveth assets and dieth the issue is barred in a formedon the donor destraines and avowes upon the heire in taile of the seisin within 50. yeares the avowry is good upon the Statute Because this is nothing to the doner The fifth Lecture Of Formedons Whereas the Statute is that Formedons in reversion shall be brought within 50. yeares after title and cause of action accrued It is to be seen to whom action shall be said sufficiently accrued to take advantage of the Statute and from what time the 50. yeares shall be accounted è contra A Man lets Land to one for life the remainder to his own wife in tayle and dyeth the Tenant for life dies and I. N. enters Action is not accrued to the wife to have a formedon in remainder within the 50. yeares Because a gift immediat to his ownewife is not good but contrary of a feoffement to an use or a demise but if he in the remainder be not capable at the time of the livery hee shall never bee as in the case of Rikhill A man lets for life the remainder of I. N. in fee I. N. enters in religion the lessee for life dies the brother of I.N. enters and commits felony and is attainted the Lord enters for an Escheate I.N. is deraigned before 30. H. 8. no action of formedon in the remainder is accrued to him Because it was executed before in his heire and the forfeiture for felony is executed also and religious persons shall not be capable by the Statute of 31. H. 8. A man leaseth for life the remainder to Deane and Chapter and to the heires of the Deane the Tenant for life dies I. N. enters the Deane and Chapter which then were die and others are chosen action is accrued to the heire of the Deane by a formedon in the remainder but not of all Because he had but a moity only A man leaseth for life the remainder in taile the tenant for life alieneth in fee no formedon in remainder is accrued to him in the remainder Because tenant for life is yet living and during his life a formedon lyeth not Lord measne and tenant the measne graunts his menasltie for terme of life the remainder over in taile the remainder over in fee the tenant attornes the terr tenant brings a Writ of measne against the measne for terme of life and forejudges him the measne for life dyeth a formedon is not accrued to him in the remainder Because the tenant of the Lord paramount by the forejudger and all the remainders is but the same seigniory because that albeit forejudger doth not lie against tenant for terme of life nor against tenant in tayle nor a feme covert yet the judgement is not void but error and the action doth not lie untill judgement reversed and in remainder by equity of the Statute which speakes of reversions 9. R. 2. cap. 3. A man gives Land for terme of life the remainder in fee the tenant for life is disseised the Lord brings a Writ of Right the Lord disclaimes against the disseisor and recovers upon the disclaimer the tenant for terme of life dyeth the Lord enters action is accrued to him in the remainder by a formedon in remainder Because that he in the remainder is not bound A man gives in tayle to I. N. who leaseth for life and enters and dies without issue 60. yeares before Ascension 1546. the tenant for life dyes 26. yeares after he in the reversion may have a formed on in reverter post I. N. habit religionis assumpsit Because the Register warrants or formedon in discender and reverter but quaere of a remainder and the action doth not fall untill after the death of tenant for life and
life brings a Writ of errour and reverseth the judgement and an estranger enters and he in the remainder brings a formedon 60. yeares after the death of tenant for life the action well lyeth by the branch of this Statute which speaketh of 50. yeares Because the action is not accrued untill after the reversall and a Writ of error is not an action nor a release of actions is not a plea in this and he in the remainder shall have error by equity of the Statute by him in the reversion A man grants a seigniory in grosse to one in tayle the remainder over in fee by Fine the Tenant attornes and after aliens in Mortmaine the Tenant in tayle enters and makes a feoffement of the Land and dies without issue no Scire facias is accrued to him in the remainder of the Land nor of the Rent Because the Land was not given and the seisin was determined by the entryof the Tenant in tayle and the Statute of Mortmaine saith that Capitalis Dominus intrabit retinebit in feodo and therefore is a perquisite to him and the Booke of 44. E. 3. is no rule that a Scire facias shall lie of the tenancy in lieu of the services A man leaseth for life the remainder over in tayle the Tenant for life leaseth to Tenant in tayle for the life of Tenant in tayle who dyeth without issue the Tenant for life enters a sormedon in remainder is not accrued to him in the reversion Because the lease of the Mannor is not a surrender nor forfeiture tit. dowre Fitz. Park fo. 20.7 H. 6.4 A man leaseth for life the remainder in tayle the remainder in fee the Tenant for life grants his estate to him in the remainder in tayle and to I.

The sixth Lecture Seisins and Trials What proofes upon such issues limited by the Statute shall be sufficient and contrariwise and what trials upon that shall be good e contra and who shall be bound by them and who shall take advantage and where the party may refuse the triall e contra And what maâ—ters shall lie in triall notwithstandstanding this Statute as before this Statute e contra DOwre they are at issue that the husband was never seised of such an estate of which she was dowable c. the wife proves seisin 61. yeares before the teste of the Writ this a good proofe of the seisin to recover notwithstanding this Statute Because that this is of the seisin of the husband and not of the party her ancestors or predecessors In an assise of Common they are at issue ne unque seise so that he might be disseised the plaintife said that I. N. was seised and grants to him in fee and because he had not Cattle of his owne hee puts in Cattle of others with the assent of the grantor this is a good proofe of the seisin to have an Assise 22. E. 3. p. 84. Dowre of rent they are at issue ne unque seise the plaintife prooves that the rent was granted by the husband in fee upon a proviso that if he die his heire within age that the rent shall cease during the nonage the father dyeth the son within age and takes the demandant to wife and dies before 21. yeares of age this is no good proofe of feisin Because the rent had not essens during this time and it is not like the case of 24. E. 3. where she was endowed with a cesset executio because there the husband was seised indeed and it is not like a Dowry of a seigniory in suspence as where the Lord marryeth his Tenant which is a woman he dies she shall be endowed of the seigniory but here the rent ceaseth by matter in fayt and not by matter in Law Dowre The parties are at issue upon ne unque seise c. the demaundant proves a lease for life made by an estr the remainder to her husband in tayle the tenant for life leaseth to the husband for life of the husband the husband dies the tenant for life enters and she brought dowre this is no proofe of the seisin Because it is no surrender nor forfeiture and the tenant for life which leaseth shall have the reversion in this case In dowre they are at issue upon the seisin the tenant shewes that the husband was his villeine and purchased wherefore he entred upon the husband the Plaintife sayes that this purchase and entry was during coverture and the husband dyed c. this is a good proofe of seisin to have dowre Because the title of the Lord is not untill his entry and therefore the wife had the elder title A woman hath issue a son and consents to the ravishor the mother leaseth to the son for terme of life by deed poll the son hath issue dies the mother enters the issue brings a Mortdan and theyare at issue upon the seisin the issue gives all the matter in evidence for seisin in fee upon the lawfull entry of his father this is no good proofe of seisin Because that he which hath but a title of entry and not a right of entry cannot be remitted In an Assise they are at issue upon Ne unque seise c. the Pl ' gives in evidence that I.N. holds the Land of him and was attainted of felony and that the King should have annum diem vast and grants it over the defendant enters upon the grauntee within the yeare and the Pl ' brings an Assise within the yeare this is a good proofe of the seisin Because he can have no other seisin during that yeare Assise they are at issue upon Ne unque seise the plaintife gives in evidence that the Land is demisable c. and that I. N. his testator was seised and demised to him being his executor to sell c. and dyeth the plaintife enters and the defendant ousts him and he brings an Assise this is a good proofe of seisin per judicium Because he had the fruit against anestranger untill the heire may espy a forfeiture and makes actuall entry Tenant by the courtesie of a rent charge granted to his wife in fee to bee paid at Michaelmas his wife dies before the feast he makes an Avowry the Tenant traverseth the seisin which is found for him the Tenant by the courtesie dyeth the heire of him and his wife distrain and makes an Avowry upon the same grant he shall not be bound by the same triall Because the judgement is only to recover damages and he claimes as heire of his mother and not as heire to the father and avoweth by the grant for the seisin is not materiall And because that he in the
reversion may fanxesie the recovery in another point which was not tryed as to say that another had title to the seigniory and not the avowant and so the seisin void In a Mortdauncestor the Tenant traverseth the seisin the Jury finde that the grandfather dyed seised and that afterwards the father of the demandant dies before that any stranger enters and afterdies and the Tenant abates this is good proofe of seisin but yet it shall not serve but this triall shall binde the demandant c. Because the Stat. speakes of an actuall seisin and this is a seisin in Law Lord measne and tenant the Tenant traverseth the seisin in an avowry against the measne which is tryed for him and afterward forejudgeth the measne there the Lord may distraine and make avowry and shall not be bound by the said triall Because he avoweth for his seigniory and he is not heire to the measne A woman seignioresse measne and tenant the measne is bound to acquittall she takes a husband the tenant releaseth to the woman and his heires acquit the husband and wife have issue the wife dies the tenant brings a Writ of measne against the husband contrary to his acquittall by prescript in the wife and her auncestors the husband traverseth the seisin which is found against him and hee dies the heire shall not bee bound by this tryall in another Writ of measne Because he hath a release to plead and hath the menalty as heire to his mother and not as heire of his father and may falsifie ut supra And this action is not to recover Land Tenements nor Hereditaments but goeth by way of discharge Tenant for life the reversion to another in fee is impleaded by a praecipe c. and traverseth the seisin which is found against him upon a faint title by covin and the demaundant recovers the Tenant for life surrenders he in the reversion shall be bound by this triall viz. during the life of the Tenant which surrenders and not afterwards notwithstanding the Statute of 32. of Recoveries by covin as where Tenant for life grants a rent and surrenders c. And Nota that he in the reversion may falsifie in a title in another point which was not tryed but he which may have an attaint cannot falsifie in the same point which was tryed and he in the reversion may have an attaint and error by the Statute of R. 2. and this recovery is as a purchase A Segniory is given to two and to the Aires of one he which hath the fee dies hee which survives distraines and makes an avowry the tenant traverseth the seisin which is found for him the Defendant dies and the heire of the other distraines and makes an avowry upon the same seisin he shall not be bound by the first triall Because the first judgement is not to be barred of the seigniory but onely to recover dammages and also hee is not heire to him which was party to the trial but to another which had the fee yet he had a reversion at the time c. And he in the reversion and those which may have error or attaint are bound by the common Law and shall not falsifie the point which was tried by verdict contrary in other points and contrary of them which cannot have error nor attaint note the difference by many books and by the Statute of 9. R. 2. c. 3. A feme Covert brought a Writ of Aile after Ascens c. the tenant traverseth the seisin which is found for him and after the husband and wife die and the heire brings a Writ of cosenage he shall be bound by this tryall Because albeit the barre be at liberty yet it is contrary of the wife An Infant brings a precipe by Attourny as a man of full age the tenant said that he is an infant judgement if he shall be by Attourney and yet the Court admits him by Attourney the tenant traverseth the seisin which is found for him the demandant and his heires shall bee bound by this triall for ever Because this is not errour and an infant is not excepted in the Statute Lord and tenant the tenant is disseised the Lord brings a Writ of Customes and services against the desseisor who traverseth the seisin which is found against the Lord the desseisee reenters the Lord distraines him makes an avowry upon the first seisin the disseise shall have advantage to barre him by the first tryal Because he made plede per que estate and bind the Lord because the judgement was given against the Lord and so he barred A man seized in right of his wife makea feoffment in fee the husband dies the feoffee is impleaded and traverseth the seisin which is found for him the wife brings a cui in vita and recovers the demandant in the first precipe brings another precipe against the woman she shall have advantage of the first triall Because the demaundant was once barred and so his right extinguished A man makes a feoffment in fee upon condition the feoffee is impleaded after Ascention c. and traverseth the seisin which is found for him the feoffor enters after the condition broken the demaundant brings a new Writ against him the feoffor shall have advantage of the first tryall for the reason aforesaid Avowry by the Lord upon the tenant for x. s. rent and alleageth seisin within 50. yeares the plantife alleageth a confirmation by the deed of the father of the Lord 60. yeares past tenend. by iiii d for all rents and services besides fealty this is a good barre notwitstanding this Statute Because the Statute saith onely that a man shall not have a writ nor makea prescription title nor claime beyond that limitation but it doth not speak of bars in defence of possession and therfore it seemeth that the eldest barre shall be tryed by the intention of that Statute because the words of the preamble are that the eldest seisin shall not be disturbed Avowry for Rent upon this limitation the Plaintiffe pleads a Release of all actions made 51. yeares past by the Avowant to the Plaintiffe this is a good Plea and shall be tried notwithstanding this Statute Tit. bar in Fitz. 8.

Acres of Land by fealty and two shillings the Lord distraines in the Acre and avoweth for xii d the Plaintiffe saith that 60. yeares past he leased the other Acre to the Lord for 60. yeares which are yet induring judgement if hee shall avow for any thing in the other Acre during the terme this is a good Plea and shall bee tryed notwithstanding that it be out of the limitation Because a suspention of part is a suspention of all contrarie of an extinguishmentof part because there may be an apportionment in that case A Mortdancester of a seisin within 50. yeares the tenant said that the demaundant himselfe leased for terme of
to have another Action within another sixe yeeres Because the issue was true but now the issue in tayle may confesse and avoid this iudgement 12. E. 4. He which was imprisoned at the time of the Statute had cause of Attaint upon the antient limitation and brings that within the 6. yeeres and after is non-suited at the first day and dieth this is no determination against the heir but that he may have an attaint within another 6. yeeres Because the non-suit is not peremptory but where it is taken after 32. E. 3. A Quere in P. the Plaintife declares the defendant makes his bar the Plaintife is nonsuit this is a good determination against the Plaintife so that he shallnot have another Quere in P. Because the non-suit after appearance is peremptory 19. E. 4. A man that was beyond sea at the time of the Statute brings a writ of right close after Ascention c. and within the sixe yeeres upon the antient limitation in Auntient Demeane where the Lord had confirmed the state of the tenant before by Deed indented to hold by lesser services the tenant pleads a plea which is found for him the demandant is barred by iudgement and dieth within the sixe yeeres this is a good determination of the Action for ever so that the heir shall not have an Action within other sixe yeeres Because a Confirmation doth not make a Frank Fee because no alteration of possession contrary of a Fine or feoffment Two Parteners one releaseth to the other One brought a Precipe against both hee who released made default the other appears and prayes the view and will not take the intire tenancy the Demandant records the moietie of him which did not appeare by default and afteris non-suit and had execution of the moiety hee which lost is imprisoned at the time of the Statute and brings an Assise after Ascention c. and within the 6. yeares against him which recorded upon the antient limitation and dies within the sixe yeeres this iudgement aforesaid is not a determination against the heir to bring a writ of Entry in the quibus or another Action within other 6. yeeres 22. E. 6. Because a Recovery against him who had nothing is of no validity c. nor shall not binde him A man which was an infant at the time of the Statute makes a plaint of Mordauncestor without an original before the Iustices of Assise upon the antient limitation after Ascention c. and within the 6. yeers the tenant pleads in bar which is found for him and had iudgement against the Plaintife the Plaintife dies within the 6. yeeres this iudgement is no determination against the heir to oust him of an Action within 6. other yeares For it is void and coram non judice otherwise if the triall had been in banco A man which was imprisoned at the time of the Statute brings a Cui in vita in banco upon the antient limitation after Ascention c. and within the 6. yeeres the tenant appears and pleads and barres the Demandant by demurre by which iudgement is given this iudgement shall be a determination against the heir to bring another action Because it is not voide but error because this court had authoritie contrary of Iustices of Assise without a writ and patent of Assise for the others have a generall commission A man which was beyond sea at the time of the Statute brings an Ass after Ascention 1546. upon the antient limitation and within the 6. yeeres which remained c. one of the Justices dieth and the Plaintife is associated to the other Iustice and iudgement is given against the Plaintife at the next Sessions upon issue tried and he dies within the 6. yeeres this is a determination against the heir for ever so that he shall never have action within the 6. yeers nor otherwise Because now it is not error by reason of the Statute of Ieofayles and it may be that there were two persons notwithstanding the wards of the Record He which was an Infant tempore statuti brings a formedon after Ascention and within the 6. yeeres after upon the antient limitation against tenant for life who disclaimeth the demandant hath iudgement and enters and the tenant for life dieth he in the reversion enters upon the demandant and the demandant dies within the 6. yeers this Iudgem and execution thereupon is not a determination against the heir in tayle but that he may have another action against him in the reversion within the other sixe yeeres Because upon the disclaymer the iudgment is no other but that the writ shall abaâ—e and the demandant to enter in at his perill which doth not binde him in the reversion contrary of a Recovery against tenant for life note the difference 36.

time the disseisor of non sane memory makes a feoffment of one acre and is imprisoned tempore statuti and dieth within the sixe yeeres the disseisee enters into the other acre of which no feoffment was made in the name of both the title of the heire of the disseisor is determined for both acres to have remedy within sixe other yeeres Because the entry into one acre in the name of two is good against the same person contrary against two severall disseisors A man seised of two acres enfeoffeth one of 1. acre upon conditioÌ„ enfeoffeth another of another acre upon another condition the first feoffee within age enfeoffeth a stranger in that acre is within age at the time of the Statute and dieth within the sixe yeers the conditions are broken the first feoffer enters in the other acre in the hands of him which did not make the feoffment in name of both acres the title of the heir of the infant is not determined by this entry Because the entry upon the feoffee in name of both shall not serve against the feoffee and therefore remedy for one acre A disseisor makes a gift in tayle the reversion in fee the tenant in taile had issue and dieth the issue enters and dieth without issue hee in the remainder enters the disseisee is imprisoned at the time of the Statute within the 6. yeeres the title of entry of his heir is not determined to enter within sixe other yeeres Because by the death of tenant in tayl without issue the descent is gone and so the title of entry for the heir is revived A Parson makes a Lease for life and dieth his successor is beyond sea at the time of the Statute and after dieth his successor taketh fealty of the Lessor his title is determined to take benefit within the other sixe yeeres Because this acceptance is a receipt of Rent A man which was imprisoned at the time of the Statute and had cause of action ut supra c. is enlarged after ascension c. and delivers a Release asan Escrow to I.

In a Cessavit upon this new limitation brought by the Bishop of L. the tenant pleads overt to his distress the Jury is charged therewith and with the collusion and the overture found against the tenant which is true and as to the collusions that he had ceased by collusion which is false the demandant had judgement and enters the Lord Parramont enters upon him for the Mortmayn the demandant shall not have an Attaint of the collusion Because that the enquiry of the collusion was but of office and also it seemeth that the judgement is erroneous by reason of the collusion c. and therefore may have errour tamen videtur that notwithstanding that the judgement be erroneous yet if the verdict be false attaint lyeth because the other cannot compell the party to bring a Writ of errour 18. E. 4.9 but it seemeth otherwise if the Court be deceived in judgement A Mordancester upon the new limitation the tenant said that he himself is Heir to the Ancestor and not the Demandant and so at issue And upon that the Tenant gives in evidence to the Iury that he was Heir by the second wife of the same Ancestor because that the first wife by which the demandant is Heir was divorced the Iury found the demandant heir notwithstanding the divorce the Tenant shall not have an Attaint Because they are not bound to finde the divorce for it is a spirituall Record Certain Observations out of Law-Books in Print upon this Statute THE first four branches of the Statute use the word seisin indefinitely and therefore if the Statute had not gone farther the word seisin should have been construed Secundum subjectam materiam viz. sometimes for actual seisin and sometimes for seisin in Law And therefore as to a writ of right mordancestor Ayle Assise c. it shall be intended of an actuall seisin and not of a seisin in Law so that the threefirst branches are to be intended of an actuall seisin And the fourth branch concerning Avowries extends to seisins in law as well as to seisins in fayt or actual seisins But the words upon which farther doubt may arise are contained in the 6. branch of the said Statute in these words viz. If any person or persons do at any time sue any of the said actions c. or make any avowry c. and cannot prove that some of his ancestors or predecessors were in actuall possession or seison of the said lands tenements c. within the time limited c. if that be traversed or denied by the plantiffe demandant c. that after such triall the party and his heirs shall be barred to all such Writs actions c. Upon which said words it was objected that whereas at the Common Law before this Statute a seisin in Law was sufficient for avowries yet now by the express words there must be an actual seisin for that the words actual possession or seisin excludes a seisin in law and the rather for thatan actuall seisin is the sure badge of right But it was resolved that a seisin in law was sufficient for an avowry within the intention of this Act For the intention of the Act was only to limit a time within which seisin ought to be had and not to exclude any seisin which was a good seisin at the Common Law as appeareth by the preamble of the Statute neither did the former Statutes of limitations of Westminster 1. cap. 38. or of W. 2. cap. 2 46. exclude a seisin in Law or any seisin which was a sufficient seisin at the common Law Also whereas the three first branches extend to actuall seisin only and the 4. branch extends as well to a seisin law as to an actuall seisin And the sixth Article speaks by words dis-junctive of actuall possession or seisin makes a distinction betwixt actuall possession which referres to the three first branches and seisin which referreth to the fourth branch for that the words subsequent are in manner and forme aforesaid It was also resolved that this Statutedoth not extend to such rent or service which by common possibility cannot happen or become due within 60 years As a signiory consisting upon homage and fealty only for that the tenant may live above 60 years after that they were made and so of casuall services as to go to war with the Lord and the like of a Formedon in discender for that the tenant in taile may live 60 years after discontinuance and albeit that the tenant in taile do dye so that the issue may bring his Formedon within the time c. yet that altreth not the case but that the issue may bring his Formedon in discender at any time as it was adjudged in Fitz Williams case Dy. 278 and the same law is of homage and fealty and all other accidentall services or where there was an impossibility to have seisin within the limitation And in this case of Bevill it was agreed f. 11. a. that a Writ Esolvert Cessavit or Rescous are not within this statute for that in those Writs the seisin as not traversable but the tenure and by those VVrits theland is demanded and the demandant cannot alleadge any seisin c. for he commeth to them in the post And the statute extendeth only to such writs where a seisin may be alleadged and 21 H. 6.22 that seisin shall not be alleadged in those writs for that the land is demanded by reason of the signiory and not by reason of seisin of the land and accordingly it is resolved Dy. 11. Eliz. 278. If a man had been out of possession of land by 60 years yet if his entry be not taken away he may enter and bring any action of his own possession because the first clause doth not barr any right but prohibits that no person shall sue or maintain any writ of right or make any prescription c of the possession of his ancestor or predecessor but only of the seisin of some of his ancestors within 60 years which doth not inhibit but that if his entry be lawfull and he doth enter he may have an action of his own possession And note that the 1. 2. clauses of the statute extend only to seisin Ancestrall and not to a writ of right of his own seisin And the third branch extends only to actions of his own possession and not to entries The fourth to Avowries c. And forasmuch as the services of homage fealty are not within this statute and that the seisin of rent or other annuall service is a seisin of homage and that likewise a seisin of homage or fealty is a seisin of all services annuall or not annuall that therefoee when the tenant hath done homage or fealty that shall be a seisin of all other services as to Avowrie which of right ought to be made notwithstanding that the Lord or

N. enters he in the reversion brings a formedon in reverter 60. yeares after the death of the husband and after this Statute the action is well brought by this branch of the Statute Because the action is not accrued untill after the death of the wife and so is it taken within 40. yeares after her death A man of non sane memory made a feoffement in fee and after is made Bishop of R. the feoffeâ— enfeoffes the Bishop to him and his successors which gives in tayle the tenant in tayle dies without issue the Bishop dies a formedon in reverter is accrued to the heire of the Bishop and not to his successor Because by the refeoffement the Bishop was remitted for his entry was congeable A man gives in tayle the remainder in fee the Lord brings a restraint against the tenant in tayle and he appeares and leaseth and dies without issue a formedon in remainder shall not accrue to him in the remainder within the 50. yeares Because the Land is lost by iudgement by Statute Law of W. 2.21 A man leaseth for life the remainder in tayle to another the remainder in fee to the first Tenant by a Fine the Tenant for life dies and he in the remainder in tayle dies without issue I.

N. it fee the leasor recovers against their leasee by a Writ of Waste and hath execution the leasee hath issue and dyethno action of formedon is accrued to W. N.
