Names see by what names the same may passe An Honor this may passe by the name of a Manor or by his proper name as de honore de Tickhill or de manerio de Tickhill It suffiseth also to demaund a Manor by his proper name without naming A Manor of the Towne wherein it lyeth For it may be out of any towne or extend into seueral townes counties as de manerio de D. cum pertinÌ„ yet it feemeth best to expresse
things excepted must succeede those things out of Things excepted which they be excepted And if there be diuers parcels in one writ that parcel out of which thexception is to be made ought to be last placed RegistrÌ„ fol. 6. as de manerio de D. cum pertinÌ„ in C. excepto vno mesuagio duabus acris terre aduocatione Ecclesie de C. c. And euery thing excepted ought to be certainly named It needeth Pertinencie not to say cum pertinÌ„ after the thing excepted 40. E. 3. 25.

E. 4. 11. The Teste or date must not be vpon any Sunday or other festiuall Teste day which is not dies iuridicus in Court External Adiuncts to writs be the writing the Latin the affidauit Externall or composition the signing and the paiment of the fine and returning which be in like maner common to other writs Touching the writing thereof it is meete to be faire written without Writing rasing or interlining of any principall matter therein for such rasing Rasing Interlining False Latin or interlining will ouerthrow the writ in some cases 45.
