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.

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
