of them yet it is the award good for that part notwithstanding as if the submission be of all actions real and personal and the award of actions personall onely and if it be de iure possessione and the award is only de possessione 19.

An award that an action shal be sued betweene the parties by the aduise of A. and B. is good for that A. and B. in this case are not Arbitrators but executors of the award yet quere for it is vncerteine whether they will giue aduise or no. 8. E. 4. 1. 4. Arbitrement that the plaintife shall pay to the defendant x. li. and release to him all actions And that the defendant shall release to the plaintife all actions is good 20. H. 6. 18. 19. Arbitrement that either partie shal release to other all actions that because the one hath trespassed more then the other he shall pay to the other ◠s. is good 20. H. 6. 18. 19.

In trespasse of goods taken it is no good award that the defendant shall reteine part of the goods and the plaintife haue the rest 17. Edw. 3. 16. In debt of x. li. it is no good Arbitrement that the plaintife shall retaine the one moity the defendant haue the other 45. E. 3. 16. In trespas award that if the defendant wil wage his Law that he is not guiltie that then he shall go quite and that the plaintife shal release vnto him seemeth good 46. E. 3. 17. Award that for so much as the one hath done more trespasse then the other therefore he shall giue him a peny for amends And that the other shall go quite against him is good 19. H. 6. 3. 6. By Prisot if two submit themselues to Arbitrement of all trespasses c. and it is awarded that the one shall make amendes to the other and nothing is awarded for the others benefit this award is void 7. H. 6. 40 39. H. 6. 9. 22. E. 4. 25. So if it were that the one only shall go quite against the other for an award must be final obligatory and satisfactory to both parties 7. H. 6. 40. 19.

An award that one of the parties shall do an act to an estraunger is void if the parties be not bound 22. H. 6. 46. Or if an award be to pay x. li. to an estraunger it is void for how can he pay the same if he will not accept it 22. H. 6. 46. 8. E. 4. 1. 9. Or if the award be that hee shall cause an estraunger to enfeoffe the other partie for he hath no meane to compell the straunger 17. E. 4. 5. So if it be awarded that he shal be bound with suerties 18. E. 4. 22. 23. 5. H. 7. 23. Arbitrement that money shal be payd at a day to come is good for the partie may thereof haue an action of debt after the day if it be not paied accordingly 20. H. 6. 12. 5. E. 4. 7. But award to do any other thing at a day to come is void if the submission be not by specialtie because the partie hath no meanes to compell his aduersarie to performe it 5. E. 4. 7. and 24. An award is void as is said if it neither be executed nor any meanes by law for the execuiton thereof As if it be awarded that th one shal pay to thother x. pound this is good for hee may recouer the same by action of Debt But if it were awarded that th one should deliuer to thother an acre of land or do such like act executory it were void if it be not deliuered straight way or prouision made by bond or otherwise to compel the performance thereof according to the award 19.

S. and M. his wife to haue to hold the same vnto the said W. S. and M. from the decease of K.

T. of c. in the saiâ— Countie of L. pretending to haue a lease for diuers yeres yet to come of some part of the said lands called c. made vnto him by the aforesaid E. F. long time before any assignements aforesaid hath and yet doth keepe your said Orator from the possession of the said lands vpon which lease or demise a certaine yerely rent is as he saith reserued to the said E. F. his executors or assignes which as your Orator verily thinketh is c. by the yeare and which rent whatsoeuer it be your Orator by reason of the lawfull conueyance to him made as aforesaid ought both in law and conscience to haue and inioy during such terme as the said R. T. shall hold and occupie the land aforesaid by reason of the said lease which he so pretendeth to haue But because your Orator doth not certainely knowe whether the said R. T. haue any such lease neither if he haue what date it beareth what terme the said R. hath therein vnexpired what rent thereby is reserued nor what couenants are therein conteined as also your Orator can not nor knoweth not how in due forme of law to enter or commence any action against the said R. T. either for the recouerie of the said land or rent aforesaid which the said R. T. right wâ—ll knowing being a man of little or no conscience but destitute of the feare of God thinking all things well-gotten which he may get and hould without the punishment of the law doth not onely vse the said land to his great profit and commoditie without yelding or paying therefore any rent ot your Orator or any other person lawfully clayming the same but also doth vtterly refuse to shewe his said Lease whereby he claymeth to hold the lands aforesaid vnto your said Orator to the great losse and hinderance of your Lordships said Orator In tender consideration whereof and for asmuch as your Orator hath no ordinarie way by the course of the common Lawes of this Realme to enforce the said R. T. to shew forth such writings as he hath for the holding and inioying of the lands aforesaid but is and shall be vtterly destitute of all maner of helpe or meanes to obtaine the same to his great hinderance and impouerishment except your honorable Lordship of your accustomed clemencie towards all such as are oppressed do extend your fauour in yâ— behalfe so that by the order of this honorable Court the said R. T. be inforced vpon his oath to shew what right he hath to the premisses or any part thereof and likewise to set downe in his answere the true copie of the said lease verbatim or other writings whatsoeuer they he whereby he claymeth the premisses or any part of the same May it therefore please your good Lordship c. The Answere THe said defendant not knowledging or confessing the matters Sect. 134. suggested in the said bill of complaint to be true for his answere touching the same saith That the said E. F. named in the said bill of complaint was possessed for diuers yeares yet to come and induring of the said three parcels of land called or knowen by the name of c. mencioned in the saide bill of complaint by vertue of a lease thereof made by the said T. S. also named in the said bill of complaint vnto the said E. F. long before the supposed extent specified in the said bill of complaint And the said E. F. so being thereof possessed long before the said supposed extent if any such were had in such manner as in the said bill of complaynt is supposed made a lawfull demise and lease of part of the said three parcels of land conteyning fowerteene acres or thereabouts vnto the said defendant for diuers yeares yet to come and remayning vnexpired vpon which lease the said E. F. reserued a yerely rent to be paied during the continuance of the said lease By force of which lease the said defendant entered into the said fowerteene acres of land part of the said three parcels called c. and was and yet is lawfully possessed accordingly And euer since and yet doth inioy the said fowerteene acres by vertue of the said d◠〈◊〉 and lease made by the said E. F. to the said defendant and is to haue and inioy the same during the continuance of the yeares of which there are diuers yeares yet to come and remayning vnexpired And the said defendant sayeth that yâ— said complaynant is a man to this defendant vtterly vnknowen And therefore the said defendant marueyleth much of the said suit exhibited by the said complaynant into this honorable court against the said defendant touching the said premisses And further saieth that the said E. F. after the said demise and lease by him made vnto the said defendant of the said fowerteene acres of land and before the said supposed extent if any such be made a graunt and assignement of the interest and terme of the said E. F. aswell of the said fowerteene acres which the said defendant hath and occupieth by vertue of his said lease for diuers yeares yet thereof to come and coutinuing vndetermined as also of the residue of the said three parcels of land mencioned in the said bill of complaint vnto R. F. the sonne of the said E. F. vnto which graunt and assignement the said defendant was priuy And therefore the saide defendant thinketh that he is for the payment of his rent chargeable and ought by the Law to pay the same rent reserued vnto the saide R. F. and not to the saide complaynant which saide R. doth verily thinke that he is lawfull Landlord during the continuance of his yeres yet to come and induring and not the said complaynant who is altogether a meere stranger vnto this defendant And which complaynant neuer at any time heretofore demaunded any rent for the said part of the lands that this defendant hath and
sÌ„ of rent suit of Court from three weekes to three weekes holden within the said manor of D. And the said I. W. so being seazed of the premisses hath now lately conueyed assured part of the said manor lands tenements in C. aforesaid vnto one H. S. Esquier his heires assignes by reason wherof yâ— said H. S. doth now hold the said parcell of land of your said Orator as of his said manor of D. by the seruice aforesaid by part of the said rent of vi sÌ„ acording to yâ— quaÌ„titie of the said lands so by him purchased of the said I. W. And so it is right ho. Lo. that diuers deeds euidences writings courtrolls aswell toÌ„cerning the said manor of D. as also coÌ„cerning the said renâ— seruice before rehearsed be now of late casually come to the hands custodie possession of the said I. W. and H. S. who by coulour thereof do intend now vtterly to disinherit your said Orator of his said rent and seruices and do deny refuse either to pay vnto your said Orator his said rent or else to do vnto him his said seruices And although your said Orator hath diuers sundry times required yâ— said I. W. H. S. aswell to deliuer vnto him the said Euidences deeds writings courtrolls as also to pay do vnto him the said rent seruices according as of right they ought to do yet neuertheles the said I. W. H. S. haue vtterly denied refused alwaies the same to do coÌ„trary to all equitie coÌ„science And forasmuch as your said Orator knoweth not the certaintie of the saide deedes euidences writings nor wherein yâ— same be conteined nor also knoweth not the certaintie of the said lands tenements that the saide H.
