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.

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. But if the Connusor enfeoffee the connuse of parcell of the land and a stranger of another parcell and reserve parcell in his hands now the connusee shall not have execution against the stranger or any other Feoffee for all shall be extinct against the Feoffees but yet against the connusor the connusee shall have execution of parcell which remaineth in his hands If connusor of Statute Merchant or statute Staple be taken and die in Execution yet the connusee shall have execution of his lands and goods co 5. 86. 87.

By the statute of 3.

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.

Fieri facias THis Writ of Fieri facias is onely against the goods scil Leases for yeares or moveables goods as Cattel Corne House-hold-stuffe Money Plate Apparrell and this Writ ought also to be sued within the yeare after the judgement Co. 3. 12. In the execution of a Fieri facias it is the surer course for the Sheriff either to keep the goods untill the parties be agreed or else to take good security of the Plantiff to defend and save him harmeless and to stay the returning of his Writs untill he may be well advised what to doe therein But if he take a bond of the Plantiff it is questionable whether it be good or no in law and not within the compasse of the Statute of 23 H. 6. ca. 10. to be taken colore Officii But the safest and surest course for the Sheriff or Officer is not to take in execution or not to meddle at all with any such goods as shall not not plainly appear to them to be the proper goods of the Defendant for it seemeth that the Officer is bound at his perill to take knowledge whose the goods are or at lest that they be the proper goods of the defendant Note that after the Fieri facias a man may have the Elegit but not e contra because the Elegit is of a higher nature then the fieri facias Upon a fieri facias the Sheriff may sell a Lease or terme of yeares and upon a fieri facias the Sheriff ought to sell to levy the debt Co. 5. 90. Co. 8. 171. Upon a fieri facias if the Sheriff sell the goods and after the judgement is reversed in a Writ of Error yet the defendant shall not have restitution of his goods but the value of them for what they were sold and those which so buy such goods of the Sheriff may lawfully enjoy them for the Sheriff which made the sale had lawfull authority to sell and by the sale the Vendee hath absolute property in the goods and if the sale of the Sheriff by force of the Fieri facias shall be avoided by subsequent reversall of the judgement then no man will buy and by consequence no execution shal be done Co. 5. 90. and 8. 96. and 143. Levari facias THis Levari facias is onely to be executed upon the profits of the Lands and upon the goods or the Sheriff may hereupon take the rents payable by the tenants in execution for the debt and bring them in Court but he cannot seise the land and deliver that to the party by this VVrit Plow 441. a. and this ought to be sued within the yeare after the day of payment to be made by the recognizance or after the judgement for after the yeare the Connusee or Plantiff is now by the Statute of Westminster 2. cap. 45. to have a scire facias whereby the Sheriff is commanded that he give knowledge to the Defendant that he appeare in the Chancery at a certaine day there to shew what he can say why he should not pay the debt or dammages and if he come not at the day or doe come and can say nothing why execution ought not to be done then the Sheriff shall be commanded to do execution Fitz. 266. c. And if the Sheriff upon the Levari facias shall returne that he hath levied part of the sum scil 20 l. part thereof which he hath delivered to the party now upon this returne the party which ought to have the money may have a sicut alias Levari facias directed to the Sheriff to levy the residue of the sum Fitz. 265. h. Summons SUmmons is a Writ to the Sheriff to cite or warne one to appeare at a certaine day and the Summons must be made by or in the presence of two or three Summoners and these summonitors ought by law to be liberi legales homines as it seemeth In Summons in reall actions the Summoners in the presence of the Pernors or Veiors ought to summon the tenant first to keep his day of the returne and to name that in certainty to answer c. Secondly they ought to name the name of the demandant and Lastly they ought to name the Land in demand co 6. 54. This word Pernor seemeth to signifie the Pernor of the profits of the land or the Occupier or Farmer therof And this Veior to signifie such as are sent by the Court to take view of the place in question for the better decision of the right Minshaw Note that the Defendant ought alwaies to be summoned 15. daies at the least before the day of the returne of the Writ 28 E. 1. cap. 15.
