And for these faults and because it was Body for Body It was ruled that the Indictment was insufent Braces Case If a Feme sole Executrix of a term mary him in the Reversion and dies the term is not drowned but the Administration of it shall be committed Otherwise perhaps if she had purchased the Reversion And it was the Case of one Owen That if the Debtee mary the Debtor That the Debt is not gone but the Administrators of the Feme shall have it The Marquess of Winchesters Case THe Marquess of Winchester prayed a Prohibition and the surmise was that whereas the late Marquess his Father had made the three Lamberts his Executors which were his Bastards He also devised that they should sell as much of his Lauds as should amount to 100000 l. and does not limit any imployment of the mony inde proveniente And also that whereas by the Statute of 34 H. a man de non san memori is unable to make a Will of his Land And that the Marquess at the time of the making of the Will was not of san memori And it was held by the Court that although Land be not a testamentory thing whereof the Spiritual Court ought to intermeddle with Yet being conjoyned in the Will with the Goods they cannot do any thing with the one without the other Therefore a Prohibition shall be granted Because that for the non compos mentis it is more fit to be tryed in our Law And if cause be a Consultation shall be granted for part scil his Goods again And such a Prohibition was in Case of Lloyd against Lloyd Munday against Martin MUnday brought an Action upon the Case against Martin And declares That whereas at the request of the Defendant in November delivered to him and his Father 30 Kerseys for which the Defendant assumed to pay 40 l. to the Plaintiff The one half in hand and the other half a year after Vpon non â—…ssumpsit pleaded It was found by verdict that the delivery was made to the Defendant in August 31 next before the November mentioned in the Declaration The Question if that will maintain the count or not Ward That it will for the delivery in August is the delvery in November As upon payment of mony upon an Obligation before the day is a payment at the day And then if he does not pay it within a year after November he does not pay it with a year after August Richardson on the contrary For that cannot be intended the same promise For upon such a variance the Defendant may wage his Law And so it is if a man declares upon Debt of one day and the Déed bears date at an other day Also it is that the delivery was to the Defendant and his Father and it is found that it was to him only So that that cannot be intended to be the same Consideration Vpon another Cause upon the Declaration he cannot have Iudgement For it is in consideration quod deliberaâ—set which is in the Preter tence and therefore naught As 10 Eliz. Dyer 272. In consideration that he was bayl for his Servant the Defendant assumed Not good 37 38 Eliz. Between Gereny and Goteman in Consideration quod dedisset duas c. he promised to pay 10 l. at the day of his mariage Held no Consideration Crook To the Case of the variance of the date contained in the Deed. There it varies from that which is his warrant And the date in November cannot be the date in August Nor on the contrary The delivery raises the Consideration and the time is not material as to the Deliberaâ—set It was one Warthingtons Case That where in consideration that you will stand my bayl I will save you harmless A good Consideration Hutton For the delivery the time of the contract is not materially necessary to be shewn for certain But the day of the payment ought not to be mistaken as it is here For if the delivery was in November the payment ought to be in November too But it appears by verdict That the delivery was in August And then so the payment ought to be And then consequently the day of payment is mistaken Yelverton The Plaintiff cannot have Iudgement For then he might charge the Defendant again upon a delivery in August Atthowe If upon an Obligation the mony be paid before the day of payment It is a payment at the day if the Obligee dies not in the mean time But I do think that if he dies before that payment cannot be pleaded in an action of Debt brought by the Executors against him Sed adjournatur Sir Iohn Spencer against Scroggs SIr Iohn Spencer brought Debt against Scroggs who pleads per minas The Venire facâ—… was returned and the Iurors appear And the Array was challenged by the Defendant for Cosinage between the Sheriff and the Plaintiff Whereupon a new Venire fac was awarded to four Coroners who return the Venire fac and subscribe A. B. C. D. Coronatores And in the Habeas corpus A. B. C. D. only And Iudgement was given And upon that Error It was argued that does not lye First For that it is aided by the Statute of 18 Eliz. That no Iudgement shall be reversed after Iudgement for an insufficient return Also as it appears by 8 H. 6. Such a Return at the Common law made by the Sheriff shall be good although he was not called Sheriff But that Law was afterwards changed And only Sheriffs and Bayliffs of Franchises was provided for By which Coroners were not in Hutton The Statute of 18 Eliz. extends to insufficient matter of the Return But does not intend to toll the Statute of York He said also that he thought it was not requisite at the Common law for the Sheriff to put his name of Office upon the back of the Writ But he demanded how it might appear that they are Coroners if they are not named so Crook It hath been adjudged that Coroners ought to put their name of Office And their names are parcel of the Return So that defective insufficiency is remedied by the Statute of 18 Eliz. Richardson Without putting their names it does not appear that they are Coroners Luvered against Owen HE declares upon the Statute of E. 6. for tithes and an exception was taken For that that it was said tam pro dom rege quam pro se ipso But it was affirm'd to be good For the King is to have a Fine Hutton If an Action be brought upon the Statute de scandalis magnatum The Plaintiff may declare tam pro domino Rege quam pro se ipso And so upon the Statute of Hue and Cry It was objected that one Tomlins Case was adjudged to the contrary But that Case was Because that he demanded in this manner and the Statute when it says that he shall forfeit it shall be intended to him who had the loss So it could not be demanded for the King
the evidence of the party or by others by his procurement in the same manner As it was in an appeal upon a fresh sute at the Common-law It was said by all That although the custome was of Burgage lands in soccage Yet if the Lands came by gift or otherwise to tenure in Chief or service of Chivalry That that now changes not the Custome which alwaies goes with the Land and not with the tenure As the Lands in Gavelkind by the Custome are soccage tenure Yet if they are changed to service of Chivalry the Custome is not altered But that all the heirs shall inherit It was agreed by all That if sir persons compass and imagine to levy war against the King And there is an agreement betwéen them that two shall do such an act in such a Country and the other two another act in such a County And so divers acts by divers in several Counties for to assemble the people against the King And after two do the Act according to their purpose and assemble the people and the other do nothing Yet the Act done by two upon the agreement is Treason in all But otherwise it is if there had been only a compassing c. and not any agreement and afterwards one of them does the act unknowing to the others there it is not Treason but in those that doe the fact and not in the others As it happened in the Case betwéen the King and an other Wilkins against Thomas IT was adjudged upon good advise That if an Infant he impleaded by any precipe of his Lands And loses by defending Now he shall have a Writ of Error And because that he was within age at the time of the Iudgement it shall be reversed And the Infant shall be restored to all that he lost As it happened in the Case of John Ware against Anderson and others in the County of York lost while they were infra aetatem Where it appeared that they appeared by their Guardian admitted to them by the Court to the Grand cape and that they were within age But there was an inspection by Nurses and Friends and they were found not to be within age John Symons against Thomas Symons NOte it was said by all the Iustices That if the Disseisee enter upon the Feoffee or Lessee of the Disseisor That he shall not have an Action of the Trespass for the same Trespass against the Feoffee or Lessee Because that they come in by a Title And at Common law before the Statute of Gloc. No dammages for mean occupation against the Feoffee or Lessee Bromleys Case IF a man steal goods and be arraigned upon an Indictment of felony and the goods are valued to 6 s. and the Iury upon their verdict say That he is guilty of the said goods but that the value was but 6 d. That is a good verdict And the Iustices shall vanish him as for patty Larcenny In the same manner it is If a man be arraigned for willfull murther and the Iury find it but Manslaughter That is a good verdict by all the Iustices Pease against Thompson A Man seised of Lands in see makes a feoffment from that day to divers to the use of his Wife for her life and after to the use of the heirs of the body of the Feoffor The Feme dies and the Feoffor makes a Lease for years and dies Now her Issue shall not avoid that Lease because a man cannot have Heirs in his life So that at the time of the death of the Feme there was none to take by the remainder And for that the Feoffor had the fee the Lease is good and shall bind the Heir As if a Lease be made for life the Remainder to the right Heirs of I. S. and I. S. dies in the life of the Lessee then the remainder is good otherwise not but it shall revert But otherwise it shall be peradventure in such a Case in a demise Hillary 3 Car. Com. Banc. Skore against Randall SKore brought Debt against Randall and recovered and had execution by Elegit and it was found by the Inquisition that the Defendant was seised of the moyety of a Messuage and Lands for life and other Lands in right of his Wife And the Sheriff returns that virtute brevis et deliberat feci meditatem omnium praemissorum cum pertinentiis c. Nec non duo pomaria nec non unum clausum vocat c. And that he had delivered the moyety of the Lands in right of his Wife and his Chattells and recites them and that Elegit was filed And the Question was whether he might have a new Elegit Because that the Sheriff ought to have delivered to him the moyety of the moyetic of the Lands held in Ioint-tenancy So that the Tenent by Elegit might be Tenant in Common for a fourth part with the Ioynt tenants as it was agreed But also by that Delivery he had but in effect the eighth part For the other Ioynt-tenants may occupy the Land delivered with him in Common Richardson said For part of the Lands and goods in right of his Wife the return is good And being filed he cannot have a new Election For if part shall be evicted you cannot have a new Extent upon the Estate But if it had been in the Genitive Case Duorum pomorariorum c. it had been good But it was granted by the Court That the Plaintiff makes a surmise that the Sheriff male se gessit in the Execution of that Elegit and then he may have a new Elegit at his peril c. Edward Thomas against John Morgan et al. EDward Thomas brought an Ejectione firmae against Morgan Kemmis and others and upon Not guilty pleaded a speciall Verdict was given to this effect for Morgan and Kemmis for the other some were dead before issue and the other not guilty and they found a Iudgement dated 12 Sept. 23 Eliz. and deliver'd the 15 Iunii next ensuing Which was between the then Bishop of St. Davids of the one part and Richard Thomas of the other part And it was in consideration of a Marriage to be had between him and the Daughter of the Bishop That before the end of Hillary Term next ensuing he would levy a Fine of all those Lands and all the other lands in Mountmouth and that should be to Thomas Morgan and Roger Sise of Lincoln-Inne And that he suffered a recovery with double voucher to the uses in the Indenture But the words are that the Conusees should stand seised to the use And by Atthowe the Recovery is idle for the uses shall be executed and then there shall be no Tenant to the Precipe viz. That of all the Lands mentioned in the Indenture Morgain and Sise shall stand seised to the only uses hereafter c. that is to say They shall be seised of in part of the Lands and Tenements that is so much thereof as shall amount to the clear value of

In the Case of a Sheriff there Wroth against Harvey DOwer was brought against an Infant and upon default Iudgment was given against the Infant and there was something assigned for error but notwithstanding Iudgement was affirmed as to that But afterwards an other errour was assigned in the record For that that the entry is obtulit se per Clerk atturnatum suum and names him not And so was the Case where such an one by Higgius atturnatum suum obtulit se And for that cause naught And Dyer 93. Because in waste the obtulit is per atturnatum suum and names him it was naught But Richardson said upon the first obtulit se it is not requisite to name the Attourney but upon the second Barleys Case NOte It was said by Richardson If a man says in his sickness I give 20 l. to I.

That a devise is void if a Legacy be given and no Executors made Winchcombe against Shepard IN an action of the case for cutting of the bank of the River of Charwell by which the water run forth and drowned his meadows The Defendant pleads in bar that one Brooke was seised of a Mill called Gammons Mill and that there is a certain rivulet betwéen Gamors Mill aforesaid and Clyftons And that he and those whose Estate he had in Gamons Mill have used time out of mind c. as often as the said Gammons mill should be ruinous to cut the aforesaid bancks of the aforesaid rivulet in which the Trespass aforesaid is supposed to be done and to let out the water in old Charwell to repair the mill And he shews that the mill was ruinous and that he cut as aforesaid to repair and the water run out of the said old Charwell and so justifies And there was an exception taken by Atthow to this bar For that that he does not answer nor justifies to the place where the Trespass was done For he said that there is quidem Rivulus which is always to be intended of a strange thing As 6 E. 6. Dyer 70. In Trespasse the Defendant said quod quidam I. S. granted the part to him and afterwards said again quod quidam I. S. granted And because that he conveys two grants to himself by two persons for so the second quidam shall be intended And it shas ruled to be naught See the 33 and 34 Eliz. Debt by Lowe against Wotton The Defendant pleads that a long time after the Obligation was made by himself and Bassett quod quidam Iohannes Bassett acknowledged a Statute to the Obligor And because that he says quidam which shall be intended a strange person it was no plea.

In a quare impedit for the King of the Chauntry of St. Tho. and alleges a presentation The Defendant says that there is a Chapel of St. Thomas in the same Village and that the Defendant and all his Ancestors have béen Patrons of the same Church It was held no plea for there is no answer to the title made by the King For it shall be intended of another Chapel But here because that he said virtute cujus he cut the aforesaid banks of the rivulet aforesaid in quo transgressio praedict fieri supponitur A sufficient answer was made to the same place so ruled by the opinion of all the Iustices But it was objected that this barre was not good upon the matter For although he might let it out yet he ought not to drown any ground But because that the fault was in the banks of old Charwell He is not punishable for that lawfull Act which he had done Otherwise if he had not prescription 6 E. 4 6. If I have a pond I cannot so let it out that it shall surround the ground of my neighbour Another exception was taken for not pursuing the prescription For he does not shew that the place where the cutting was alleged was between them two mills whereof he makes mention Yet adjudged contra querentem And afterwards this judgement was reversed by errour because he had made his prescription local and that ought to be pursued But for the overflowing after the letting out It was by all held that it is not punishable Ienkins's Case THomas Ienkins as heir to Iohn Ienkins brought errour upon a Iudgement given upon an indictment upon the Statute of 1 Eliz. of Recusancy and assigns this error For that the Indictment was contra formam Statut. edit 23 Ian. 1 Eliz. Where the Parliament began 25 Ian. And for that it was held erroneous 3 Eliz. Dyer 203. Other matter was alleged for that that the Statute is that it shall be taken before Iustices of the Peace or Gaol delivery The Indictment was before the one and the conviction before another But that was thought a small matter And it was beld by the Iustices that the heir might have a writ of Error upon such a Iudgement As upon execution of a Statute after the death of his father It was objected that he brought error as heir but does not shew how he is heir But nothing is answered to that Keene against Cox IN an action upon the case brought by Keene for saying He is falsly forsworn before the Iustices of Assize between A. and B.

IN Debt the demand was of 19 l. 17 s. and declares upon five several contracts and shews the certainty upon every of them which being cast up amounted to 20 s. more than was demanded And because that he does not shew how he was satisfied of the remnant It was held quod nihil cap.

But by the Court it is after verdict For the Original for part cannot be applyed to this Declaration and it shall not be taken as the Original for it And then there is no Original which is aided by the Statute and so it had been frequently ruled By Harvey it was one Blackwells Case here where the Writ was bona catalla cepit and the Declaration was viz. unicum discum plumbi And that was ruled to be no Original The Wife of Cloborn against her Husband THe Wife complains against her Husband in the Spiritual Court Causa saevitiae For that he gave her a box on the ear and spat in her face and whirled her about and called her damned whore Which was not by Libel but by verbal accusation after reduced to writing The Husband denies it the Court ordered the Husband to give to his Wife 4 l. every week pro expensis litis and Alimony Barkley and Henden moved for a Prohibition The Sute is originally Causa saevitiae and as a Case that they assesse Alimony And now for a ground of a Prohibition It was said that Cloborn chastised his wife for a reasonable Cause by the Law of the Land as he might which they denyed and said that they had Iurisdiction in these matters de saevitia c. And afterwards that the wife departed and that they were reconciled again And then that reconciliation took away that saevitia before as reconciliation after elopement Richardson It was said here that the Sute was now held and without Libel but that is no ground of a Prohibition for he proceeded upon that matter reduced in Articles and we cannot grant a Prohibition if they proceed to their form For we are not Iudges of their form But if they will deny a Copy of the libell a Prohibition lies by the Statute And you you 'l say that an Husband may give reasonable chastisement to his Wife and we have nothing to do with it But only that the Husband may be bound to his good behaviour by the Common law And the sentence in causa saevitiae is a mensa thoro and we cannot examine what is Cruelty and what not And certainly the matter alleged is Cruelty For spitting in the face is punishable by the Star-chamber But if Mr. Cloborn had pleaded a Iustification and set forth a Provocation to him by the wife to give her reasonable castigation Then there would be some colour of a Prohibition Henden We have made such an Obligation as it is absolutely refused Hutton Perhaps he is in contempc and then they will not admit any Plea As if one be out-lawed at Common law be cannot bring an Action But the Plaintiff they advised to tender a Iustification and if they refused it then to move for a Prohibition Bachus and Hiltons Case HUtton cited one Bachus and Hiltons Case in the Kings Bench Where a Bill was of Lands 17 Maii and the Declaration 20 Mail which was after and so the Original before the trespass and after verdict Because it was mistaken Iudgement was stayed Mortimores Case AMhurst desired the opinion of the Court in this Case Copiholder is ousted and so the Lord disseised and the Copiholder releases all his right to the Disseisor and dies his Heir enters and brings trespass against the Disseisor who pleads his Franktenement And by the Court the Release is clearly void the Disseisor never being admitted Copiholder But they ought not to teach him how to plead And Hitcham cited a Case in which he was of Councel Two Copiholders in fee the one release to the other by Deed.

Roger Ratcliff upon the whole matter sued his Monstrare de droit in the Exchequer and had Iudgement for him and Writ of Error being brought by the Lord Sheffield to reverse the Iudgement formerly given in the Case Points 2. First whether Francis Bigod who had Estate in special tayl in possession had also any right in the antient entayl left in him at the time of his Attainder or whether it were not in abeiance in respect of the Feoffment made 21 H. 8. and whether that right did accew unto the King by the Attainder of Francis and the general Statute of 26 H. 8. cap. 13. or by the particular act of Attainder of 31 H. 8. and I am of opinion that there was a right of the old entayl remaining in him and that the King ought to have it together with that estate in special entayl in possession freed and discharged thereof as long as the Estate entayl endured In the handling of this point I shall occasionally speak of rights of Actions real given or not given to the King upon Attainder of Treason by force of Statute 26 of H. 8. or of the general Statute of 33 H. 8. for this Statute is so near of kin to that conservation of antient Rights that we must foresee that we do not in the Iudgement of this Cause prejudice the Statute ex aliqua Secondly Whether there be a Remitter in the Case after Attainder of Treason and if there be such a Remitter here when the Remitter begins and in whom whereas nothing hath as yet been distinctly said I am of opinion that there

Sale and Sale against the Bishop of Coventry in a Quare impedit It was adjudged That a Quare impedit well lies by an Executor for disturbance made to the Testator And also that a Lease for years is good notwithstanding the Statute The Statute does not intend the benefit of the Lessee but of the Successor himself And the Successor had his Election to accept the Rent or the Land And if it should be voyd his Election is gone Tallengers and Dentons Case 4.

Wheeler and Danbies Case Robert Bishop of Glocester 30 Eliz. makes a Lease to Iasper habendum a die datus to him for life the remainder to William rendring the ancient Rent The first Lessee dies the Successor having notice of it and that divers Rents were behinde commanded his Bayliff that he should receive the Rents The Bayliff enters them and receives Rent of that Lessee the Bishop having notice of it And these points were resolved First the Iury finding a Lease a die datus might be intended good for that the Entry was made after the day yet the Iury finding a thing impossible does not conclude the Iudges Secondly that a Lease in remainder is not warranted by the Statute 1 Eliz. Thirdly that the Lease was but voydable by the Successor for the Statute was made for the benefit of the Successor but the grand Question was of the manner of acceptance and resolved Fourthly that the acceptance binds the Bishop and the Authority given to the Bayliff and also his receipt For it differs where the Bayliff of his own accord receives Rent Dyer And they also say that that was to perfect an estate setled And it differs from an Attournment which is to perfect an estate setled For there notice is requisite c. Gammons Case again HEndon said that a Scire facias does not lie upon that record because an action of debt well lies For no president can be shewn that a Iudgement given in an inferiour Court may be executed so For first that Court shall not make an Instrument to execute Iudgement given in another Court It is seen that an Attaint lies of false Iudgement given in an inferiour Court Take the Case in 14 H. 4.4 And so if issue be joyned in an inferiour Court without custom It shall not be removed to be tryed so And so it is our Case c. Secondly the Statutes do not give them power viz. 26 H. 8. 34 H. 8. makes the matter clear that it cannot be Error in an Assize before the Iustices of Assize will not lye in this Court. For Iudges Itinerant are superior And those Iudges are appointed by Act of Parliament and so the Iudges also in Wales are by Act of Parliament And having power a Oyer et terminer It is not found that after Iudgement a Certiorari had been received to remove the Record out of an Inferiour Court And the mischief would be if Iudgement should be given for 20. l. it should be executory through all the Realm where they have but a special Iurisdiction And also the tenor of the Record is only removed and execution cannot be out of the tenor of the Record Dyer 369. Plow 52. Richardson The question is whether when the Record is so removed whether it shall be idle If Iudgement be given in an Inferiour Court which holds Plea by prescription or by grant and removed by Writ of Error if the Iudgement be affirmed we may award Execution 16 Iac. There is an express president of a Iudgement in an Inferiour Court and a Scire facias is granted so And also a Scire facias is granted in lieu of an action of debt For by the Common Law he might not have a Scire facias after the year but an action of debt And by the Common Law debt lies in that Case Harvey and Crook Iustices said that Court shall not be an Instrument to execute Iudgement in an inferiour Court which they cannot And also the Land of the Defendant shall be lyable to an execution in any place in England where before only the Land within the place was lyable And also the purchaser could never finde out what executions might be upon the Land Richardson said that the mischief would be great on both sides For otherwise what Iudgement was given The Defendant would remove his goods out of the Iurisdiction of the Court and then the Plaintiff had no remedy but by new original And Crook Iustice If a man brings an action in a Court he ought to examine what the end of that will be For it is a president a man ought to respect things in their end For it is his own folly to commence an action where he cannot have execution For that he may commence his action and have execution in any place in England And although that a forrain Plea in an Inferiour Court may be tryed so yet it is by Act of Parliament viz. 6 E. 1. 12. which proves by the Common Law there was no remedy Tithes of Pidgeons and Acorns A Parson Libels in the Spiritual Court for Tithes of Pidgeons and Acorns And the Defendant prayed a prohibition Because the Pidgeons were spent in his own house and the Acorns dropt from the Tree and his Hogs eat them And it was said by the Court Acorns are Tithable 11 Rep. 49. But then they ought to be gathered and also sold And a prohibition was clearly granted Thomas Wilcocks Case MOre of the Case of the Vniversity of Oxford Thomas Wilcocks Mr. of Arts in St. Mary Hall in Oxford was sued in the Chancellors Court there by Anne wife of Ralph Bradwell and Christian her daughter For calling the wife Bawd and old Bawd and the daughter Whor. and scurvey pockey-faced whore And they procured two Sentences against Wilcocks and upon them he had two prohibitions And Davenport moved for a Procedendo for that that by their Charter which was confirmed by Parliament The Chancellor or his Deputy shall have Conusans of all causes personal where one of the parties is a Scholar And the Charter was shewed in Court which was to this purpose That they shall hold Pleas c. or Secundum morem Universitatis or Secundum legem terre And the custom was to proceed according to
offences Therefore his sentence was That his Name should be put out of the Roll and thrust over the Bar and committed to the Fleet Which was executed accordingly 20 H. 6. 37. 41. E. 3. 1. Which Cases prove the same Iames and Thoroughgood against Collins IAmes and Thoroughgood brought Trespass against Collins And the Case was this A man makes his Testament and gives to 5 men their heirs and assigns certain Houses in Fleet-street c. All of them to have part and part alike and the one to have as much as the other And whether the Defendants were Iointtenants or tenants in Common was the Question and it was adjudged and resolved that they were Tenants in Common And the same Case in 2. 3 Phil. Mary in Bendlows Reports is adjudged so And also in Lucan and Locks Case in the Kings Bench It was afterwards remembred and agreed to be good Law Ratcliff Case Advise to two and his Heirs in Ioynt-tenency by the whole Court against the opinion of Audley It was said by the Court that an Officer of the Court ought to be answered in any action de die in diem Quod nota c. Beguall against Owen BEguall brought a Writ of Partition against Owen before the Iustices of Assise at the grand Sessions in Anglesey And the Defendant pleaded the general issue The Plaintiff prefers a Bill in English and says that Owen is Tenant in Common with him and that divers of his VVitnesses which can prove his Title are so aged that they cannot come to the Sessions and desires a Commission to examine the Witnesses concerning the Title in perpetuam rei memoriam And Henden moved for a Prohibition For that that Cause would be dangerous for the Subject that such Testimonies taken in his absence should be for tryal of his Title Secondly That that examination before the Tryal is against the Statute of 26 H. 8. And although they have it in Chancery yet it is not so here But it was denied by the Court For there was never seen such a President Of a Prohibition to a grand Sessions And by Yelverton They have it in Chancery and if it be not prescribed in what manner they shall have it it should be as in the Chancery Hutton That Commission is not prejudicial to the Subject although a Prohibition be grantable For such Testimonies are not used but after the Witnesses are dead And a man cannot preserve them alive and perchance his Title rests upon their Testimonies Iane Heeles Case IAne Hee le Administratrix of her Husband brought an action of Debt upon an Obligation made to her Husband the Testator The Defendant pleads a Recovery by the Testator upon the same Obligation and that he was taken in execution and that the Sheriff suffered him voluntarily to escape The Plaintiff replies Null tiel Record of the Recovery Vpon which there is a demurrer Davenport That the Iudgement was but a conveyance to their matter in Bar and it ought not to be traversed But it was said by the whole Court That the Iudgement in it self is a good bar if it be not reversed 6 Rep. 45. Higgins case The execution upon that is not but a consequence upon the Iudgement And without the Iudgement Escape is not material for to make the traverse good And so Iudgement was given for the Plaintiff Issues If the King by his Letters Patents grant to the Corporation all Issues within any places The issue that the Corporation it self shall forfeit shall be excepted by intendment of law For otherwise it would be a defrauding of Iustice For then the Corporation would never appear Which note in the Case of Dean and Chapter of Ely Provender against Wood. PRovender brought an action upon the case against Wood For that the Defendant assumed to the Father of the Plaintiff upon a mariage to be solemnised betwéen the Plaintiff and the Daughter of the Defendant to pay him 20 l. And it was agreed by Richardson and Yelverton nullo contradicent That the action well lies for the same And the party to whom the benefit of a promise accrews may bring his action Mrs. Rowes Case MIstris Rowe was arrested by a capias corpus ad satisfaciendum by a Bayliff in Middlesex within the Bars in Holborn which is within the liberty of London And Hitcham the Kings Sergeant prayed a Supersedeas For that that the arrest was false And the Court agreed that a Supersedeas cannot be granted For a Supersedeas it cannot be alleged Executio erronice emanavit but there the Execution is well granted And if it be returned by the Sheriff generally It ought to be intended well served although that the Affidavit be made to the contrary But in this case a Corpus cum causa shall be granted Booth against Franklin BOoth Farmor of a portion of Tithes for 5 years without Deed demises a Farm which he had in the same Parish to Franklin for years and afterwards he libells against him for tithe of that Farm And Franklin said he was not Farmour And Henden prays a Prohibition for that First That the Lease for Tithes is without Deed but he may be discharged of his own Tithes without Deed As was adjudged before in this Court Secondly the Lessee is not to pay tithes for that Farm For although the Parson makes a Lease of the Glebe for years he paid tithes But if a Layman who had the impropriation leases the Glebe the Lessee does not pay tithes But the Court denied the case of the lease of the Parsonage impropriate And said that the case of Perkins and Hinde was adjudged to the contrary in that very point And also if he purchase other lands in the Parish which are discharged of tithes in his hands and he demises them yet the Lessee pays him tithes And the opinion of the Court was If one contract with the Parson for discharge of the Tithes of his lands for years and demises his lands to another yet he shall not have tithes but the discharge runs with the land But if one take a lease of his Tithes by deed and makes a demise of his land he has tithes of the Lessee And the direction was that the Lessee of the Farm ought to shew expresly in the Ecclesiastical Court that the Farmour had not a Lesse by Deed and a Prohibition was granted And it shall be admitted that the words of the libell being Firmator conductor occupator was good Ralph Andrews against Bird. ANdrews brought an action upon the Case against Bird and declares that Bird sued a Trespass in this Court against him and upon not guilty pleaded the issue betwéen the aforesaid Ralph Andrews and Robert Bird was tryed at the Assises c. And that there Andrews shew'd in evidence a Deed of feoffment concerning his Title and the verdict passed for Andrews And afterwards Bird spoke these words scilicet That Andrews procured the Deed to be forged And upon not guilty pleaded it
demanded are material Because it is demandable in a Collateral place out of the Land charged Crook Grant of a rent and that I pay it at Michaelmas allwaies if it be demanded at my House there ought to be a demand And suppose it was to be demanded in such a place upon the Land I conceive the demand ought to be made accordingly Yelverton A Lease was made rendring a rent payable at such a day upon Condition that if the rent be not paid at such a day without demand That the Lessor may reenter And adjudged that no demand is now requisite For modus et conventio vincunt legem c. Sed adjurnatur Wolfes Case before THe Plaintiff was an Attorney who sued by attachment of Privilege And now the Court would not permit the amendment Because there was a material Error for it is to the disadvantage of the King For if the party be non-sute or a verdict passes against him the King shall have a Fine for false clamour and may recover them against the pledges But now where it is the Act of the Court or of the Clark or Attorny and not the party himself there may be amendment As warrant of Attorney may be entred after the Record removed And although that pledges were entred upon the Issue roll where it ought to have been upon the Imparlance roll But not on the contrary For the Issue roll is the inferiour Harvey If a Sute be by Bill as an Attorney being Defendant there are alwaies pledges entred in the Bill But if by Attachment also as so Then the Declaration is the Original Crook 12 Eliz. Dyer There Iudgement was reversed for want of Pledges And although that Case was before the Statute of 8 Eliz. yet that Statute does not ayd substantial Errors And in one Husseys Case in the Kings Bench That was adjudged for Error Wilknsons Case CRew moved that two were bound in a Statute and one dies his Heir within age That the extent shall demur Because that usura recurrit contra haeredem infra aetatem existentem And he cited 17 Ass 24. by Mawbrey And so it was agréed by the Court. And Richardson said That in that respect the Statute is an ill assurance Quod nota Waddingtons Case AYlâ—ff moved for a Prohibition for one Waddington for that that he was executor and was sued in the Councell of York upon an Obliligation for the payment of a Legacy And he alleges that a Lease which was put in the Inventory was aliened to him by the Testator in his life time And so the Question will be whether that should be Assets which ought to be tryed at the Common law And therefore prayed a Prohibition Richardson said The Councel of York have power of all Obligations And therefore having Iurisdiction of the principal they have Iurisdiction of the accessary Davenport It is seen that they may proceed upon an Obligation of all sums If they procéed Suo genere as in the Court of Equity But if a thing tryable at Common law as Assets or not Assets come they cannot proceed c. Richardson If a Sute be there for a Legacy and payment be pleaded they may try that But if they meddle in matter of Title then a Prohibition shall be granted Hutton There hath been many motions upon these Ecclesiastical Obligations for Prohibitions and allwaies they were denied And so it was in this Case Comins Case IN one Comins Case it was agreed by the Court That a Subiect may have a Forest But cannot have a Iustice Seat But he may have a Swanmark Court and the other Courts and a Commission to execute them Then a Forest in the hands of a Subject shall pay Tithes And it was agreed that in the hands of the King it is privileged And by Henden Davenport and Atthowe Sergeants It is only his personall privilege which extends to the Lessee of the King But not to the Feoffee And it was agréed That where the right of tithes comes in Question between a Parson and the Vicar who are both Ecclesiastical persons It shall be tryed by the Ecclesiastical Court But Richardson said the Books make a doubt Where it is between the Servant of the Vicar and the Parson But it seemed to him to be all one Margery Rivets Case before RIchardson Hutton and Harvey said That the Devastavit ought to be to Margery for Necessity sake For it cannot be intended otherwise For none can satisfie the Debt but Margery And the intention of the Replication was to charge her de bonis prop. for waste and no other can be intended to waste And the Case put of I. S. so being seised feoffavit There it is good without praedict I. S. But for the thing it ought to be Feoffavit inde 21 H. 7. There if W. S. be named again It shall be intended the same W. S. if there be not quidam I. S. and then otherwise and also it is much mended by the Replication For there it is ipsa Margareta non devastavit But Crook and Yelverton on the contrary according to their reasons before that no Issue is joyned And then the Statute does not ayd it For there is not any Nominative Case to which it may referre If it had been quo die Margery habens bona devastavit had been good But being bona habuit no Grammarian can make Construction of it And the Replication or Declaration ought to be certain to all intents 27 H. 6. 3. Wrotesleys Case In an information of Tithes It was said That the Defendant cognoscens him to be in sute being ruled that Congnoscens is not positively an affirmation but it ought to be cognovit And Iudgement was had upon it and yet after for that fault reversed 1 R. 3. There the Case was After verdict was entred that the Iury appeared et electi triati dicunt super sacramentum suum There it was reversed because it was not lurati and yet that was implyed by sacramentum strongly But Implications ought not to be allowed in Replicatious then we should introduce so many incertainties But by Crook Iudgement shall be given against the Plaintiff upon his own Replication For that that the waste is supposed after the Son came at full age and then the Administration that determines And Iudgement was given for the Defendant Roberts and others ROberts and others in East Greenwich were cited in the Spiritual Court to pay mony that the Wardens had expended in reparation of the Church And the Inhabitants alleged That the tax was made by the Church-wardens themselves without calling the Free-holders and also that the monys were expended in the re-edifying of Seats which belonged to their several Houses And they never assented that they should be pulled down And now that allegation was not allowed but sentence was given against them And then they appealed to the Arches where this allegation was also rejected And for that he prayed a Prohibition And the Court agreed That the
said Goe not to such a one c. it is actionable without question Slander of one in his Trade will bear an action And so all being connexed alike it ought to be intended that he killed him in respect of his skill In Cases of Defamation Sir George Hasting's Case Thou didst lye in wait to kill me with a Pistoll were actionable So if one touch another in respect of his skill in that that he professes it will maintain an action c. And Yelverton to the same purpose for there is a difference between a Profession and a particular Calling As if words are spoken of one that is a Iustice of Peace he ought to shew that he was then a Iustice of Peace for he is removable and may be changed every Quarter Sessions But as to a Calling the Calling of every man is his Free hold 43 E. 3. Grant of an Annuity to one pro consilio and he professes Divinity Physick and Law there the grant is pro consilio generally for Physick if that be his usuall Profession And it is intended that a man alwayes dyes in his Calling If he said to I. S. Thou art a murtherer it shall not be intended of Hares for the Iudges are not to search so far for construction Loquendum ut vulgus intelligendum et sapiens If one sayes of a Merchant Put not your Son to him for hee 'l starve him to death These words are actionable for that that it comes within the compasse of the disgrace of his Profession And so of a School-master Put not your Son to him for hee 'l come away as very a dunce as he went Harvey If one sayes of a Iudge He is a corrupt Iudge it cannot be meant of his body to be corrupt but it shall be intended of his Profession Peitoes Case before HEnden for the Defendant the Case is thus A Rent is granted for life out of Lands which descend to the Heir and he makes a Lease of parcell of the Land to the Grantee for years who surrenders the term Whether the Rent shall revive or suspend during the term And it was said by him it shall revive First For that that it is the act of him who is lyable to the Rent to accept the surrender And there is a difference where there is a determination barely by the act of the party there it shall not be revived For the first 21 H. 7. 9. Tenant in Tayl of a Rent is infeoffed of Land and he makes a Feoffment of Land with a warranty to B. with Voucher as of land discharged of that Rent And so it is 19 H. 6. 55. Ascue put this Case Grantee of a rent in Fee and Donee in Tayl of Land infeoffs the Grantee who grants that over and afterwards the issue in Tayl recovers in a Formedon yet the rent shall not be revived But if it had been the joynt act of the parties as so by surrender it should have been revived First It is clear that if a Chattell personall be suspended by Sute it shall be gone for ever As if a Feme marries the Obligor 11 H. 7. 25. unless suspension be in anothers right if it be by the act of the party there it shall be revived As if a Feme Executrix marry with the Obligor and he dyes the suspension is determined and they are revived against the Executors 7 H. 6. 2. In one Gascoines Case Lessee surrenders to the Lessor upon condition the rent be suspended but if the Lessor enter for conditions broken the Rent is revived Which in effect is our case A rent is granted to the Daughter and the land descends to her and her other Sister who make partition The Rent is revived for it is the joynt act of both parties Plow 15. If a man had a Rent and disseises the Tenant of the land and after the Disseisee re-enters Where there is a revivor of the land there is a revivor of the Rent for the disseisin was the cause of the suspension and that now is gone Secondly Because that when the Lessee for years surrenders the term is determined to all purposes and the Lessor is in of his Estate is Fee and there is a diversity of surrender in respect of a stranger for to a stranger it may have Essence after surrender But as to himself it is otherwise extinct And he cannot say that it had any Essence 5 H. 5. 12. But in respect of a stranger it ha's continuance as if an Executor surrenders yet it shall be assets And all acts done upon Lessee for ltfe before surrender shall have a continuance after And so he prayed Iudgement for the Avowant But more after Wakeman against Hawkins IT was said That if an Executor was sued in this Court by Originall he shall not put in Bayl. But if he be arrested in an inferiour Court and removed by Habeas corpus he ought to put in Bayl. Stamford and Coopers Case STamford and Coopers Case was thus I. S. acknowledges a Statute to Cooper the 22 January and afterwards he confesses a Iudgement to Stamford the 23 of January next ensuing the Statute And it is extended And Stamford brought a Scire fac against Cooper to wit now because he ought not to have the land by Elegit And the Question was whether the Iudgement by relation shall defeat the Statute And it was resolved That the Iudgement shall have relation to the Essoin day which is the 20 day of Ianuary for that is the first day of the term legally and the fourth day after is the first day of the Term open Dyer 361. Pla. 10. A Release was pleaded after the last continuance and it bore date the 21 of Ianuary which was after the day of Essoin de Octab. Hil. And for that nought because that it came late for it ought to have been after the last continuance and before the last day c. 33 H 6. 45. Nisi prius was taken after the day of the return and before the fourth day after and adjudged nought because that the day of the return which is the Utas is the first day of the term and the fourth day after but a day of Grace and that is the difference If a man be obliged to pay money the first day of the Term he shall not pay it but upon the fourth day after for that is the first day in all common acceptance But in all legall proceedings the first day is the Essoin day And so it was adjudged 16 Eliz. And in the Kings Bench it was in one Williams Case A Iudgement was given the 20 of Ianuary and a Release of all Errours the 21 Ianuary and adjudged that that bars the Iudgement given the 20 Ianuary although it was not entred the fourth day after A Iustice in the Kings Bench examined an Infant upon inspection the Essoin day and found him to be under age and would not permit him to confess a Iudgement although that he would
