Executors he that doth appear by Distress shall answer doth extend by Equity to Administrators for such of them as appear first by Distress shall answer by Equity of the said Act because they are of the like kind So likewise the Statutes of Gloucester gives the Action of Waste and the Penalty of it against him that holds for Life or Years and by the Equity thereof a man shall have an Action of Waste against him that holds but for one year or half a year yet this is without the words of the Statute for he that holds but for half a year or one year doth not hold for years but that is the meaning and the words that Enact the one by Equity Enact the other Errant ERrant id est Itenerans comes from the French word Errer id est Errare or if the old word Erre id est Iter and is appropriated unto Iustices that go Circuit and to the Bailiffs at large who are therefore called Justices Errants and Bailiffs Errants because they go and travel from place to place the one to do Iustice and the other to execute Process See Eire Error ERror is a Fault in Iudgement or in the Process or Proceeding to Iudgment or in the Execution upon the same in a Court of Record which in the Civil Law is called a Nullitie Error is also the name of a Writ that lies where Iudgment is given in the Common place or before the Iustice in Assise or Oyer and Terminer or before the Major and Sheriffs of London or in other Court of Record against the Law or upon undue and ill Process then the party grieved shall have this Wrft and thereupon cause the Record and Process to be removed before the Iustices of the Kings Bench and if the Error be found it shall be reversed But if an erroneous Iudgment be given in the Kings Bench then it could not be reversed but by Parliament until the Statute of 27 Eliz. cap. 8. Also if such a Default in Iudgment be given in a Court not of Record as in a County Hundred or Court-Baron the party shall have a Writ of False Iudgment to cause the Record to be brought before a Iustice of the Common-place Also if Error be found in the Exchequer it shall be redressed by the Chancellor and Treasurer as it appeas by the Statute E. 3. an 31. c. 12. 31 El. c. 1. Also there is another Writ of Error upon a Iudgment in the Kings Bench and that is where the Plaintiff assign matter of Fact for Error And this lies in the same Court for this Court can redress their Errors in Fact but not their errors in Law But the Court of common B. cannot do so Escape EScape is where one that is arrested comes to his liberty before he be delivered by Award of any Iustice or by order of Law Escape is in two sorts voluntary and negligent Voluntary Escape is when one doth arrest another for Felony or other Crime and after he in whose custody he is lets him go where he will And if the Arrest were for Felony then shall it be Felony in him that suffered the Escape if for Treason then Treason in him and if for Trespass then Trespass and so in all other When one is arrested after escapes against the will of him that did arrest him and is not freshly pursued and taken before the pursuer loses the sight of him this shall be said a negligent Escape notwithstanding that he out of whose possession he escaped do take him after he lost sight of him A so if one be arrested and after escape and is at his liberty and he in whose ward he was take him afterward and bring him to the prison yet it is an Escape in him If a Felon be arrested by the Constable and brought to the Goal in the County and the Goaler will not receive him and the Constable lets him go and the Goaler also and so he escapes this is an Escape in the Goaler for that in such case the Goaler is bound to receive him by the hand of the Constable without any Precept of the Iustice of Peace But otherwise it is if a common person arrest another upon suspicion of Felony there the Goaler is not bound to receive him without a Precept of some Iustice of Peace There is an Escape also without an Arrest as if Murder be made in the day and the Murderer be not taken then it is an escape for which the Town where the Murder was done shall be amerced And it is to be observed That a man may be said to escape notwithstanding he always continues in Prison As if a man be in Prison upon two Executions at the Suit of two several men and the old Sheriff delivers over this Prisoner to the new Sheriff by Indenture according to the usual course and in the said Indenture makes no mention of one of the said Executions this Omission shall be said an Escape in Law instantly for which the Old Sheriff shall answer although the Execution was matter of Record whereof the new Sheriff might have taken notice But otherwise it is where the old Sheriff dies for in such case it behoves the new Sheriff at his peril to take notice of all the Executions that are against any person that he finds in the Gaol But in the said Case where the Sheriff dies and before another is made one that is in Execution breaks the Gaol and goes at large this is no Escape for when a Sheriff dies all the Prisoners are in the custody of the Law until a new Sheriff be made See Coke lib. 3. fol. 72. If the Sheriff upon a Capias ad satisfaciendum to him directed makes Return That he hath taken the Body and yet hath not the Body in Court at the day of the Return the Plaintiff may have his Action against the Sheriff for the Escape although the party so taken be in the Gaol See 7 H. 4. 11.

The Secrets of the Realm may by this be discovered 2. The Revenues of the Realm shall be taken and injoyed by Strangers born 3. This will tend to the destruction of the Realm First in the time of war for then Strangers may fortifie themselves in the heart of the Realm and set in combustion the Common-wealth Secondly in the time of peace for by such means many Aliens born may get a great part of the Inheritance and free-hold of the Realm by which there would ensue a want of Iustice the supporter of the Common-wealth for this that Aliens cannot be returned of Iuries nor sworn for the tryal of Issues between the King and Subject or between Subject and Subject Vide Coke lib. 7. Calvins Case Alienation ALienation is as much to say as to make a thing another mans or to alter or put the possession of Lands or other things from one man to another And in some cases a man hath power in himself so to do without the assent or licence of any other and in some not As if Tenant in chief alien his estate without the Kings licence then by the St. of 1 Ed. 3. c. 12. a reasonadle Fine shall be taken where at the Common Law before the said St. the Lands and tenements held in chief of the K. and aliened without licence have been held forfeited And if the K's Tenant that holds in chief intended to alien unto C. to the use of D. and hereupon if he purchase Licence to alien to C. and accordingly aliens to C. to the use of D. which use is not mentioned in the Licence in this case he shall pay but one Fiue for it is but one Alienation Coke lib. 6 fol. 28. But if a man will alien Lands in Fee-simple to an House of Religion or to a body incorporate it behoves him to have the Kings Licence to make this Grant or Alienation and the chief Lords of whom such lands are held c. otherwise the land so alienated in Mortmain shall be forfeited by the Statute of 15 R. 2. cap. 5. Allay ALlay is the Temper or mixture of Gold and Silver with baser metal for the increasing the weight of it so much as might countervail the Kings charge in the coyning This word is used in the Statute of 9 H. 5. cap. 11. for the payment of English Gold by the Kings weight Almner ALmner is an Officer of the Kings house whose Office is to distribute the Kings Alms every day and to that purpose he hath the collecting of all Forfeitures of Deodands and of the goods of Felons de se which the King allows him to dispose in Alms to the poor And of his Office see Flets lib. 2. cap. 22.

For Fines are Punishments certain which grow expressy from some Statute and Amerciaments are such which are arbitrarity imposed by the Affeerors which Kitchin seems to confirm fol â— 8. in these words The Amerciament is affeered by Equals Also it appears Coke lib. 8. fol. 39. That a Fine is always imposed and assessed by the Court but Amerciament which is called in Latin Misericordia is assessed by the Country Another diversity there is as if a man be convict before the Sheriff of the County of a Recaption he shall be only amerced but if he be convict of this in the Common Bench he shall be fined And the reason of this diversity is That the County Court is not a Court of Record and therefore cannot impose a Fine for no Court can impose a Fine but such a Court as is of Record Cok. lib. 8. fol. 41. a. If the Defendant or Tenant plead a false Deed to him or deny his own Deed and this is found against him or he leaving his own Verification acknowledges the Action he shall be fined for his falsity because we ought to be sure of our own Acts.

Lease to any other the Executors shall have the Lease because they are his Assignees in Law And so it is in other cases Assise ASsise is a Writ that lies where any man is pur out of his lands tenements or of any profit to be taken in a certain place and so disseised of his Free-hold Free-hold to any man is where he is seised of lands and tenements or profit to be taken in Fee-simple Fee-tail for term of his own or another mans life But Tenant by Elegit Tenant by Stat Merchant and Stat. Staple may have Assise though they have no Free-hold and this is ordained by divers Statutes In an Assise it is needful always that there be one Disseisor and one Tenant or otherwise the writ shall abate Also where a man is disseised and recovers by Assise of Novel Disseisin and afterward is again disseised by the same Disseisor he shall have against him a Writ of Redisteisin directed to the Sheriff to make inquisition and if the Redisseisin be found he shall be sent to prison Also if one recover by assise of Mortduncaster or by other Iury or default or by reddition and if he be another time disseised then he shall have a Writ of Post Disseisin and he who is taken and imprisoned for Redisseisin shall not be delivered without special commandment of the King See the Statutes Merton c. 3. Marlebridge cap. 8. and Westminster 2. c. 26. There is also another assise called Assise of Fresh force and lies where a man is disseised of tenements which are devisable as in the City of London or other Boroughs or Towns that are Franchises then the Defendant shall come unto the Court of the said Town and enter his Plaint and shall have a Writ directed to the Mayor or Batleffs c. and thereupon shall pass a Iury in manner of Assise of Novel Disseisin But he must enter his Plaint within forty days as it is said or otherwise he shall be sent to the Common Law And if the Officers delay the Execution then the Plaintiff shall have another Writ to have Execution and a Sicut alias and a Pluries c.

Assoil ASsoil comes from the Latin absolvere and signifies to deliver or discharge a man of an Excommunication and so it is used by Stamford in his Plcas of the Crown lib. 2. cap 18. fol. 71. b. Assumpsit See Nude Contract ASsumpsit is a voluntary promise made by word by which a man assumes and takes upon him to perform or pay any thing to another This word contains in it any verbal Promise made upon consideration which the Civilians express by several words according to the nature of the Promise calling it sometimes Pactum Promissionem other times Sponsionem Pollicitationem or Constitutum Attach ATtach is a Taking or Apprehending by Command or Writ There are some differences between an Arrest and an Attachment for an Arrest proceeds out of the inferiour Courts by Precept and Attachment out of the Superior Courts by Precept or Writ Lamb. Eiren. lib. 1. cap. 16. Also an Arrest lies only upon the Body of a man whereas an Attachment is sometimes upon the Goods only as Kitch fol. 279. b. saith a man may attach a Cow and in another case that a man may be attached by an hundred Sheep and it is sometimes awarded upon the Body and Goods together at one and the same Attachment differs from a Capias for Kit. fol. 79. b. hath these words Note that in a Court of Baron a man shall be attached by goods and a Capias shall not go out thence By which it seems Attachment is more general extending to the taking of Goods where a Capias extends to the taking of the Body only An Attachment differs from a Distress as appears by Kit. fol. 78. a. where he saith Process in Court Baron is Summons Attachment and Distress which are Process at the Common Law There is also an Attachment of Priviledge and this is twofold either giving power to apprehend a man in a place priviledged or by vertue of an Office or Priviledge as to call another to that Court to which he himself belongs and in respect of which he is priviledged New Book of Entries fol. 431. a. And there is a Process called a Foreign Attachment which is used to attach the goods of Foreigners found within any Liberty or City for a Debt due to the party himself And by the custome of some places a man may attach goods in the hands of a stranger As if A. ows to B. ten pounds and C owes A. another Summe of money B. may attach the goods of A. in the hands of C. to satisfie himself in part or all as the Debt is Also there is Attachment of the Forest which is a Court there held every forty days throughout the year In which the Verderors have not any authority but to receive and inrol the Attachment of offenders against Vert and Venison taken by the other Officers that they may be presented at the next Iustice seat in Eyre Manwood part 1. pag. 93. cap. 22.

Money is not to be accounted Goods or Catals nor Hawks nor Hounds for they are ferae naturae But it seems that Money is not a Chattel because it is not in it self valuable but rather in imagination than in Deed. Catals are either real or personal Catals real are either such as do not immediately appertain to the person but to some other thing by way of dependance as a Box with writings of Laud the body of a Ward the Apples upon the tree or the Tree it self growing upon the ground Crom. fol. 33. b. Or else such as are issuing out of some thing immovable to the person as a Lease for Rent or term of years Personal may be so called in two respects The one because they belong immediately to the person of a man as a Horse c. The other because when they are wrongfully detained we have no other means for their recovery but personal Actions The Civilians comprehend these things and also Lands of all natures and tenures under the word Goods which are by them divided into Moveable and Immovable See Bract. lib. 3. c. 3. num 3 4.

Certification of Assise CErtification of Assise of Novel disseisin c. is a Writ awarded to re-examine or review a matter passed hy Assise before any Iustices and is used when a man appears by his Bailiff to an assise brought by another and loses the day and having some other matter to plead farther for himself as a Deed of Release or c. which the Bailiff did not plead or might not plead for him desires a better Examination of the Cause either before the same or other Iustices and obtains Letters Pa â— ents see their form F. N. B. 181. and then brings a Writ to the Sheriff to call the party for whom the Assise had passed and also the Iury which was impannelled upon the same Assise before the said Iustices at a day and place certain And it is called a Certificate because therein mention is made to the Sheriff that upon the parties complaint of the defective Examination or doubts remaining yet upon the Assise passed the King hath directed his Letters Patents to the Iustices for the better certifying of themselves whether all the points of the said Assise were duly examined or not Certiorari CErtiorari is a Writ that lies where a man is impleaded in a base Court that is of Record and he purposes that he may not have equal Iustice there then upon a Bill in the Chancery comprising some matter of Conscience he shall have this Writ to remove all the Record into the Chancery there to be determined by Conscience but if he prove not his Bill then the other party shall have a Writ of Procedendo to send again the Record into the base Court and there to be determined And it lies in many other cases to remove Records for the King as Indictments and others This Writ is also granted out of the Court of Kings Bench or Common Pleas to remove any Action thither out of Inferior Courts of Record and so the Plaintiff must declare and proceed in the Superior Court Also to certifie original writs or proceedings out of any Courts of Record into the Kings Bench where nullum tale Recordum is pleaded Also upon Writs of Error of a Iudgment in the Common Pleas each party may have this Writ to bring any of the Proceedings into the Kings Bench upon alledging Diminution as appears Coke Entr. 232 233 242. 2 Cro. 131 479.
