E. and G. E. were within and vnder the age of one and twentie years And shortly after the making of the said Indenture and before the same was either knowledged or inrolled or any estate executed thereupon by Atturnement Liuerie of seisin or otherwise that is to say vpon or about the seuenteenth day of Nouember next ensuing the making of the said Indenture the said G. late Earle of S. died by and after whose death the right to haue and inherite the said Manors lands tenements and premisses with the appurtenances discended and came as of right the same ought to discend and come vnto this complainant as his eldest sonne next heire shortly after whose death the administration of all the goods and chattels of the said G. late Earle of S. was by the right Reuerend father in God I. by the prouidence of God Archbishop of Canterbury Primate Metropolitaine of all England committed to this complainant now Earle of S. who administred the said goods chattels accordingly And further so it is if it may please your good Lordship that the part or counterpaine of the said Indenture of bargaine and sale belonging to the said late Earle is since the death of the said late Earle by casuall meanes comen to the handes custodie and possession of the said R. E. T. E. and G. E. or of some of them or of some other person by their priuity and consent the full contents whereof are vtterly vnknowen to this complainant by colour whereof and for that the said T. E. and G. E. were so as is aforesaid within age at the making of the said Indenture they the said R. E. T. E. and G. E. hauing a great desire to haue the said manors lands tenements and bargained premisses and thereof to disinherite and defeat this complainant contrary to the true intent and meaning of the said Indenture Notwithstanding that this complainant hath yearely sithence the making of the said Indenture well truely satisfied and paid vnto the said R. E. the said Annuity or yearly rent charge of 100. pounds by the yeare in the said Indenture mentioned according to the tenor forme and effect of the same Indenture as this complainant verely thinketh And notwithstanding that this complainant hath sundrie times aswell by himselfe as by diuers others of his seruantes and friends in his behalfe sent and come vnto the said R. E. T. E. and G. E. gently requiring them and euery of them to redeliuer vnto your said Orator the said part or Counterpaine of the said Indenture of bargaine and sale of the premisses And also to make vnto him this complainant and his heires further conueyance and assurance of the said manor tenements and premisses by fine to be leuied before the Iustices of the common Plees at Westminster and for that purpose in the terme of Saint Hillarie which was in the foure and thirtieth yeare of the Queenes Maiesties Raigne that now is at Westminster in the Countie of Middlesex this complainant required the said R. and T. according to the tenour true intent and meaning of the said Indenture of bargaine and sale thereof to come before Sir E. A. knight then and yet chiefe Iustice of her Maiesties Court of common Plees at Westminster to make cognisance before the same E. A. Knight of the said manor tenements and premisses with thappurtenances in forme of Lawe that a fine thereupon might haue beene leuied to the vse of this complainant and his heires for euer yet that to doe they and euery of them haue euer hitherto refused and denied and yet doe denie and refuse to doe the same contrarie to the forme and true meaning of the couenants and agreements in the said Indenture of bargaine and saile thereof conteyned and against all right equity and good conscience and to the manifest defeating and disinheriting of him this complainant of and in the said manor landes tenenements and premisses and contrary to the true intent and meaning of the same Indenture of bargaine and sale thereof except speedie remedie be in due time prouided to preuent the same Wherefore the premisses considered and for so much as the said complainant not knowing the certaine deate and contents and other certainties of the said part or Counterpaine of the said Indenture of bargaine and sale nor wherein the same is contained whether in bagge boxe or chest locked sealed or otherwise and so hath none ordinary remedy by the due course of the common lawes of this Realme for the recouery thereof And without the same Indenture hath no direct action by the common lawes of this Realme to compell the said R. E. T. E. and G. E. or any of them to assure vnto him this complainant the said manor lands tenements and premisses according to the said bargaine thereof for lacke of the said Indenture both partes thereof being come to the hands of the said defendants Neither if this complainant had the said part or Counterpaine of the said Indenture as he hath not yet had he not thereby any meanes by the common lawes of this Realme to compell the said T. E. and G. E. or either of them to performe
that purpose either brought into the Court or before any of the Iustices thereof or before any Seriant or Knight or man of good conscience and discretion who would soone perceiue their imperfections and therefore refuâ—e to take their cognisances in so weightie matters as fines be which be the most binding barres in the law Great care and heed therfore in my conceipt is to be had to whom such aucthoritie is committed least it be so â—â—used as is abouesaid And writs of Error haue bin brought because fines haue bin knowledged by Dedimus potestatem before such as were neither Iudge Abbot Knight nor Seriant at the law And therefore such recognisances haue bin refused Br. Fines 120. A Iustice or other person being cognisee in a fine may not take cognisance thereof himselfe for if he so doe the fine thereupon leuied is void 8. H. 6. 21. And when any cognisance of fines is taken it seemeth conuenient that the persons before whom they be knowledge do signe the note of the cognisance as it is commonly vsed for the credite thereof Dyer fol. 320. P. 19. H. 15. Eliz. And now by a late order all fines taken by Dedimus potestatem by him that is not Iustice of Assise in that circuit where the laÌ„d lyeth must be signed by a Iustice of that circuit Dyer fol. 220. pla 15. The forme of the Dedimus potestateÌ„ appeareth amongst the adiuncts of concords Iudges to whom cognisances are to be certified and before whom they are to be recorded IVdges for the recording of fines by the Iustices of the common plees Sect 18. onely 15. E. 2. cap. And therefore as is said all cognisances thereof must be certified thither for in that Court onely all fines are to be leuied Notwithstanding 36. H. 6. 34. And by special graunt a fine may be leuied in a base Court 44. Ed. 3. 38. But fines leuied in Auncient demesne by any custome seeme voide 44. E. 3. 38. And so in other inferiour Courts 50. Ass pl. 9.

H. 8. cap. 19. fines may be leuied of lands in the Countie Palantine of Lancaster And by the statute of 5. Eliz. cap. 27. fines may be leuied within the county Palantine of Duresme ¶ Hauing thus râ—n ouer the discourse of the persons vsed in fines order requireth that we should now set vpon the verie actions of Fines themselues Of the diuision of fines EVery fine therefore is either witohut proclamations or with proclamations Sect 19. Fines deuided At this day a fine without proclamation which is also termed a fine A fine without ploclamation at the common law is such a fine as is leuied after such maner forme as they were vsually leuied before 4. H. 7. ca. 24. vpon which no proclamations were made which fines do still remaine of such force as they were at the coÌ„mon law to discontinue the estate of the Cognisor if they Discontinuance be executed 7.

A fine executed or executory A fine executed is such a fine as of his owne force giueth a present possession at the least in law vnto the Cognisee so that he needeth no writ of Habere facias seisinam for the execution of the same fine but may enter of which sort is a fine sur cognisance de droit come ceo que il ad de son done which is in verie deed the surest fine of all 8.
