A Condition to perform Covenants in a Lease one was That he should enjoy such Lands let to him quietly without interruption and the Plaintiff in his Replication sheweth in facto that the Defendant the 20th of March 30 Eliz. had disturbed him and in that assigned the Breach the Defendant by Rejoynder sheweth that in the Indenture there was a Proviso that if he paid 10 l. the 31 of March 30 Eliz. that the Indenture and all therein contained should be void and alledged he paid 10 l. at the day but this was after the disturbance supposed and the Plaintiff demurs Judgment pro Quer. for by the Covenant broken before the Condition performed the Obligation was forfeited and it s not material that the Covenants became void before the Action brought but by Wray if the Proviso had been that upon the payment of the 10 l. as well the Obligation as the Indenture should be void â—lâ— for then the Bond was void before the Action brought so where a Parson made a Lease for years in which were divers Covenants and after he became non resident by which the Indenture became void yet he may maintain an Action of Covenant for a Covenant broken before his non Residency Cro.
