Peterborough vers John L. Mordant A Trial at Bar upon an Issue out of the Chancery whether Henry Lord Peterborough had only an Estate for Life or was seized in Fee-tail The Lord Peterborough's Counsel alledged that there was a settlement made by his Father 9 Car. 1. whereby he had an Estate in Tail which he never understood till within these three years but he had claimed hitherto under a Settlement made 16 Car. 1. And to prove a Settlement made 9 Car. 1. he produced a Witness who said that he being to purchase an Estate from my Lord the Father one Mr. Nicholls who was then of Counsel to my Lord gave him a Copy of such a Deed to shew what title my Lord had But being asked whether he did see the very Deed and compare it with that Copy he answered in the negative whereupon the Court would not allow his Testimony to be a sufficient Evidence of the Deed and so the Verdict was for my Lord Mordant Cole Forth A Trial at Bar directed out of Chancery upon this Issue whether Wast or no Wast Hales By protestation I try this cause remembring the Statute of 4 Henr. 4. And the Statute was read whereby it is Enacted That no Iudgment given in any of the Kings Courts should be called in question till it were reverst by Writ of Error or Attaint He said this cause had been tried in London and in a Writ of Error in Parliament the Iudgment affirmed Now they go into the Chancery and we must try the cause over again and the same point A Lease was made by Hilliard to Green in the year 1651. afterwards he deviseth the Reversion to Cole and Forth gets an under-Lease from Green of the premisses being a Brew-house Forth pulls it down and builds the ground into Tenements Hales The question is whether this be Wast or no and if it be Wast at Law it is so in Equity To pull down a House is Wast but if the Tenant build it up again before an Action brought he may plead that specially Twisden I think the Books are pro and con whether the building of a new House be Wast or not Hales If you pull down a Malt-mill and build a Corn-mill that is Wast Then the Counsel urged that it could not be repaired without pulling it down Twisden That should have been pleaded specially Hales I hope the Chancery will not Repeal an Act of Parliament Wast in the House is Wast in the Curtelage and Wast in the Hall is Wast in the whole House So the Iury gave a Verdict for the Plaintiff and gave him 120 l. damages Term. Mich. 25 Car. II. 1673. in B. R. AN Action of Debt was brought upon a Bond in an inferiour Court the Defendant cognovit actionem petit quod inquiratur per patriam de debito This pleading came in question in the Kings Bench upon a Writ of Error but was maintain'd by the Custom of the place where c. Hales said it was a good Custom for perhaps the Defendant has paid all the Debt but 10 l. and this course prevents a Suit in Chancery And it were well if it were established by Act of Parliament at the Common Law Wild. That Custom is at Bristow Randall versus Jenkins 24 Car. 2. Rot. 311. REplevin The Defendant made Conusance as Bayliff to William Jenkins for a Rent-charge granted out of Gavel-kind Lands to a man and his Heirs The question was whether this Rent should go to the Heir at Common Law or should be partible amongst all the Sons Hardres It shall go to the eldest Son as Heir at Law for I conceive it is by reason of a Custom time out of mind used that Lands in Kent are partible amongst the Males Lamb.

If a warranty be annex'd to such Lands it shall descend only upon the eldest Son Now this Rent-charge being a thing contrary to common right and de novo created is not apportionable Litt.

Fitzherb said he knew four Authorities that it should Fitz. Avowry 150. As for his first case I say that Rent amongst Parceners is of another nature than this for that is distreynable of Common right As for the second I say the rule of it holds only in cases of Proceedings and Trials which is not applicable to his Custom His third case is that if two Coparceners make a feoffment rendring Rent and one dies the Rent shall not survive To this I find no answer given Litt. Sect. 585. is further objected where it is said that if Land be deviseable by Custom a Rent out of such Lands may be devised by the same Custom but Authorities clash in this point He cited farther these books viz.

from the 20th of November for five years And the question upon a special Verdict was whether this were a good or a void Lease Serjeant Jones There are many cases in which the Law rejects the limitation of the commencement of a Lease if it be impossible as from the 31st of September or the like now this being altogether uncertain and since there is nothing to determine your Iudgments what November he meant whether last-past or next-ensuing it amounts to an impossible limitation Rolls tit Estate placito 7. 849. ibid. placito 10. betwixt Elmes Leaves Baldwin contra The Law will reject an impossible limitation but not an uncertain limitation Vaughan Atkyns The Law rejects an impossible limitation because it cannot be any part of the parties agreement but an uncertain limitation vitiates the Lease because it was part of the agreement but we cannot determine it not knowing how the Contract was There are many examples of Leases being void for uncertainty of commencements which could not have béen adjudged void if the limitation in this case were good Wyndham Ellis contra And that it should begin from the time of the delivery It was moved afterward and Ellis being absent it was ruled by Vaughan Atkyns against Wyndham's Opinion and Iudgment was arrested Fowle Doble's Case FOrmedon in the Remainder The case was thus There were three Sisters the eldest was Tenant in Tail of a fourth part of 140 Acres c. in thrée Villes A. B. C. the Remainder in Fee-simple to the other two the Tenant in Tail takes Husband Dr. Doble the Defendant The Husband and Wife levy a Fine sur conisance de droit to the use of them two and the heirs of the body of the Wife the Remainder in Fee to the right Heirs of the Husband and this Fine was with warranty against them and the heits of the wife The wife dies without issue living the Husband against whom Lucy and Ruth the other two Sisters to whom the Remainder in Feé was limited bring a Formedon in the Remainder The Defendant as to part of the Lands in demand viz. 100 Acres pleaded Non-tenure and that such a one was Tenant To that plea the Plaintiff demurred As to the rest of the Lands he pleaded this Fine with warranty The Plaintiffs made a frivolous replication to which the Defendants demurred The Plaintiffs Councel excepted to the Defendants plea of Non-tenure 1. That he does not express in which of the Villes the 100 Acres lie 5 Ed. 3. 140. in the old Print 184. 33 H. 6. 51. Sir John Stanley's case But this was over-ruled for the Formedon being of so many several Acres he is not obliged to shew where those lie that he pleads Non-tenure of he tells the Plaintiff who is the Tenant which is enough for him 2. Because he that pleads Non-tenure in abatement ought to set forth who was Tenant die impetrationis brevis orig c. But this was over-ruled also for he says that himself was not Tenant die impetrationis brevis origin but that such another eodem die was Tenant which is certain enough When the Tenant pleads Non-tenure to the whole he needs not set forth who is Tenant otherwise when he pleads Non-tenure of part 11 H. 4. 15. 33 H. 6. 51. At the Common Law if the Tenant had pleaded Non-tenure as to part it would have abated all the Writ 36 H. 6. 6. but by the Statute of the 25 Ed. 3. cap. 16. it was enacted that by the exception of Non-tenure of parcel no Writ should be abated but only for that parcel whereof the Non-tenure was alledged A third exception was taken to the pleading of the Fine viz. because he pleaded a Fine levied of a fourth part without saying in how many parts to be divided This was also over-ruled and 1 Leon. 114. was cited where a difference is taken betwixt a Writ and a Fine and in a Fine it is said to be good that being but a common assurance aliter in a Writ 19 Ed. 3. Fitz. br̄e 244. This exception seems level'd against the Plaintiffs own Writ in which he demands a fourth part without saying in how many parts to be divided The matter in Law was whether or no this warranty being against the husband and wife and the heirs of the wife were a bar to the Plaintiffs or survived to the Husband and it was resolved to be a bar for this warranty as to the Husband was destroyed as soon as it was created the same breath that created it put an end to it for the Husband warranted during his life only and took back as large an Estate as he warranted which destroys his warranty and this is Littleton's Text if a man make a feoffment in Feé with warranty and take back an Estate in Fee the warranty is gone But the destruction of the husbands warranty does not affect the wives 20 H. 7. 1. and Sym's case upon which Ellis said he much relyed Herberts case 3 Rep. can give no rule here for that here the husband is seiz'd only in right of the wife Vaughan said That if the Fine in this case had beén levied to a stranger for life or in Fée who had béen impleaded by another stranger that in that case the Tenant ought to have vouched the surviving husband as well as the heir of the wife or else he would have lost his warranty 2. He said if the Fine had been levied to the use of a stranger who had been impleaded by the heirs of the wife he questioned whether or no the Tenant could have rebutted them for any more then a moity and he questioned the resolution of Sym's case 8 Rep. there is a Case cited in Symme's case out of the 45 Edw. 3. 23. which is expresly against the resolution of the case it is said in the Reports that no Iudgment was given in that case which is false and that the case is not well abridged by Brook which is also false If in case of a voucher a man loseth his warranty that does not vouch all that are bound why should not one that 's rebutted have the like advantage There is a resolution quoted in Sym's case out of 5 Edw. 2. Fitz. tit garranty 78 upon which the Iudgment is said to be founded being as is there said a case in point but he conceived not for Harvey that gave the rule said le tenant poit barrer vous touts ergo un sole in the case there were several co-heirs and if all were demandants all might have been barred and if one be demandant there 's no question but she may be rebutted for her part But Sym's case is quite otherwise for there one person is co-heir to the garranty that is not heir to any part of the Land In 6 Ed. 3. 50. there is a case resolved upon the ground and reason of the 45 Ed. 3. for these reasons he said he could not rely upon Sym's case He agreed
the Wife does but nominate what person shall take by the Will This is a plain case and free from uncertainty and ambiguity which else the word dispose will be liable to But Iudgment was given ut supra Howell versus King TRespass for driving Cattel over the Plaintiffs ground The case was A. has a way over B's ground to Black-Acre and drives his Beasts over A's ground to Black-acre and then to another place lying beyond Black-acre And whether this was lawful or no was the question upon a demurrer It was urged that when his Beasts were at Black-acre he might drive them whither he would Rolls 391. nu 40. 11 H. 4. 82.

S. and his heirs to the use of himself for years and after to the use of Hannah and Susan Prinne and their heirs if such a sum of money were unpaid by the Conusor and if the money were paid then to the use of the Conisor and his heirs And this Fine was with general warranty The Tenant for life died the money unpaid and the warranty descended upon the Remainder-man in Tail And the question was whether the Remainder-man were bound by this warranty or not Serjeant Maynard argued that because the Estate of the Land is transferred in the Post before the warranty attaches in the Remainder-man that therefore it should be no Bar. He agréed that a man that comes in by the limitation of an use shall be an Assignee within the Statute of 32 H. 8. cap. 34. by an equitable construction of the Statute because he comes in by the limitation of the party and not purely by Act in Law but this case of ours is upon a collateral garranty which is a positive Law and a thing so remote from solid reason and equity that it is not to be stretch'd beyond the maxime That the Cestuy que use in this case shall not vouch is confessed on all hands and there is the same reason why he should not rebutt He said the resolution mentioned in Lincoln Colledge case was not in the case nor could be the warranty there was a particular warranty contra tunc Abbatem Westmonasteriensem successores suos which Abby was dissolved long before that case came in question He said Justice Jones upon the arguing of Spirt Bence's case reported in Cr. Car. said that he had been present at the Iudgment in Lincoln Colledge case and that there was no such resolution as is there reported Serjeant Baldwin argued on the other side that at the Common Law many persons might rebutt that could not take advantage of a warranty by way of Voucher as the Lord by Escheat the Lord of a Villain a Stranger a Tenant in possession 35 Ass placito 9. 11 Ass placito 3. 45 Ed. 3. 18. placito 11. 42 Ed. 3. 19. b. a fortiori he said he that is in by the limitation of an use being in by the act of the party though the Law co-operate with it to perfect the assurance shall rebutt The Court was of Opinion that the Cestuy que use might rebutt that though Voucher lies in privity an abater or intruder might rebutt F. N. B. 135. 1 Inst 385. As to Serjeant Maynard's Objection that he is in the Post they said they had adjudged lately in Fowle Doble's case that a Cestuy que use might rebutt So it was held in Spirt Bence's case Cr. Car. and in Jones 199. Kendal Foxe's case That Report in Lincoln Colledge case whether there were any resolution in the case or no is founded upon so good reason that Conveyances since have gone according to it Atkyns said there was a difficult clause in the Statute of Uses viz. That all and singular person and persons c. which at any time on this side the first day of May c. 1536. c. shall have c. By this clause they that came in by the limitation of an use before that day were to have the like advantages by Voucher or Rebutter as if they had béen within the degrees If the Parliament thought it reasonable why was it limited to that time Certainly the makers of that Law intended to destroy Vses utterly and that there should not be for the future any Conveyances to Vses But they supposed that it would be some small time before all people would take notice of the Statute and make their Conveyances accordingly and that might be the reason of this clause But since contrary to their expectations Vses are continued he could easily be satisfied he said that Cestuy que use should rebutt Wyndham was of Opinion that Cestuy que use might vouch he said there was no Authority against it but only Opinions obiter They all agreed for the Defendant and Iudgment was given accordingly Rogers versus Davenant Parson of White-Chappel NOrth Chief Justice The Spiritual Court may compell Parishioners to repair their Parish-Church if it be out of Repair and may Excommunicate every one of them till it be repaired and those that are willing to contribute must be absolved till the greater part of them agrée to assess a Tax but the Court cannot assess them towards it it is like to a Bridge or a High-way a Distringas shall issue against the Inhabitants to make them Repair it but neither the Kings Court nor the Iustices of Peace can impose a Tax for it Wyndham Atkyns Ellis accorded The Church-Wardens cannot none but a Parliament can impose a Tax but the greater part of the Parish can make a By-Law and to this purpose they are a Corporation But if a Tax be illegally imposed as by a Commission from the Bishop to the Parson and some of the Parishioners to assess a Tax yet if it be assented to and confirmed by the major part of the Parishioners they in the Spiritual Court may proceed to Excommunicate those that refuse to pay it Compton Vx. versus Ireland Mich. 26 Car. 2.

There is a rule laid down in Morecomb's case in Moors Reports 645. which makes against me but the resolution of that case is Law and there needed no such rule That case goes upon the reason of Lambs case 5 Rep. when a man is obliged to pay such a sum as J. S. shall assess J. S. being a meer stranger the Obligor takes upon him that J. S. shall assess a sum in certain and he must procure him to do it or he forfeits his Obligation But in our case nothing is to be done but by the Obligee himself Pemberton contra He argued that the Obligors Election is not taken away for though no Deed were tendred him he might have got one made and the tender of that would have discharged the Condition of his Bond. Indeed this will put him to charge but he may have an Action of Debt for what he lays out He cited the cases cited by Walmesley in Moor 645. betwixt Milles Wood 41 Eliz. Gowers case 38 39 Eliz. c. North. The case of Warner White adjudged yesterday in the Court of Kings Bench is according to Law the condition there was that J. S. should pay such a sum upon the 25th of December or should appear in Hillary Term after in the Court of Kings Bench. J. S. died after the 25th day of Dec ' and before Hill Term and had paid nothing upon the 25th of December In that case the Condition was not broken by the non-payment and the other part is become impossible by the act of God But I think that if the first part of a Condition be rendred impossible by the act of God that the Obligor is bound to perform the other part But in the case at the bar the Obligors Election is taken away by the act of the Obligee himself And I see no difference betwixt this case and that of Gerningham Ewer in Cr. Eliz. if the Condition of an Obligation be single to make such assurance as shall be advised by the Council of the Obligee there concilium non dedit advisamentum is a good plea and the Obligor is not bound to make an assurance of his own head no more shall he be bound to do it when the Condition is in the dis-junctive to save his Bond. In both cases the Condition refers to the manner of the assurance and it must be made in such manner as the words of the Condition import So he said he was of Opinion against the Plaintiff Wyndham Where the Condition of an Obligation is in the disjunctive the Obligor must have his Election But in this case there is no such thing as a disjunctive till such time as there be a request made to seal a Deed of Annuity and then the Obligor will have an Election either to execute the assurance or to pay the 300 l. but no such request being made it should seem that the Obligor must pay the 300 l. at his peril Atkyns agreed with the Chief Iustice and so did Scroggs wherefore Iudgment was ordered to be entred against the Plaintiff Nisi causa c. within a week Quare impedit The Plaintiff declared upon a grant of the Advowson to his Ancestor and in his Declaration says hic in Cur̄ prolat ' but indéed had not the Deed to shew Serjeant Baldwin brought an Affidavit into Court that the Defendant had gotten the Deéd into his hands and prayed that the Plaintiff may take advantage of a Copy thereof which appear'd in an Inquisition found temp Edw. 6.

North Atkyns Without question Robert the Grand-child shall take by this Will If he never had had a Son called Robert or if Robert the Son had been dead at the time of making the Will the Grand-child would then without dispute have taken by these words Now a new publication is equivolent to a new writing The Grand-child is not directly within the words of the Will but they are applicable to him He is a Son though he be not begotten by the body of the devisor himself He is a Son with
a distinction Our Saviour is called the Son of David though there were 28 Generations betwixt David and him And a republication may impose another sense upon words different from what they had when they were first written as if a man devise all his Lands in Dale and have but two Acres in Dale the words now extend to no more then those two Acres and if he purchase more and dye without any new publication the new purchased Lands will not pass But if there were a new publication after the purchase they would then pass well enough If a man has issue two Sons called Thomas and he makes a devise to his Son Thomas this may be ascertained by an averment Now suppose that Thomas the deviseé dye living the Father and afterward the Father publisheth his Will anew and says that he did intend that his Son Thomas now dead should have had his Land but now his Will and intent is that Thomas his younger Son now living shall take his Land by the same Will In this case to be sure the second Son Thomas shall take by the devise Here the import of the words is clearly altered by the republication Atkyns The words of this Will would not of themselves be sufficient to carry the Land to the Grand-child nor would the intention of the Devisor do it without them but both together do the business Quae non prosunt singula juncta juvant Wyndham Scroggs differed in Opinion and the cause was adjourned to be argued the next Term.

construed to be a gift of the Stuff unto her and I shall not be charged in any Action for it besides consider the inconveniencies which will follow if an Action of Trover should be against the husband for then the husband shall be barred of all those helps which my Brothers who maintain that Opinion have allowed unto him and have made reasons for which an Action of the case should lye against him on the Contract namely the Iurors are to examine and set the price or value and the necessity and fitness of things with relation to the degree of the husband whereby care is taken that the husband have no wrong for in an Action of Trover the Iury cannot examine any of those matters but are to enquire only of the property of the Plaintiff and the Conversion by the Defendant and to give damages according to the value of the Goods and so it shall be in the power of the wife to take up what she pleaseth and to have what she lists without reference unto the degrée or respect to the Estate of her husband and he shall be charged with it nolens volens It is objected that the Iury is to judge what is fit for the Wives degrée that they are trusted with the reasonableness of the price and are to examine the value and also the necessity of the things or Apparel Alas poor man what a Iudicature is set up here to decide the private differences between husband and wife the Wife will have a Velvet Gown and a Satten Petticoat the husband thinks Mohair or Farendon for a Gown and watered Tabby for a Petticoat is as fashionable and fitter for his quality The husband says that a plain Lawn Gorget of 10 s. pleaseth him and suits best with his condition the Wife will have a Flanders Lace or pointed Handkerchief of 40 l. and takes it up at the Exchange A Iury of Mercers Silk-men Sempsters and Exchange-men are very excellent and very indifferent Iudges to decide this controversie It is not for their avail and support to be against the wife that they may put off their brayded Wares to the wife upon trust at their own price and then sue the husband for the money Are not a Iury of Drapers and Milliners bound to favour the Mercer or Exchange-men to day that they may do the like for them to morrow And besides what matter of Fact and of that only the Law hath made Iurors the Iudges is there in the fitness of the Commodities with reference to the degree of the husband and whether this or that thing be the most necessary for the wife The matter of Fact is to find that the wife wanted necessary Apparel and that she bought such and such Wares of the Plaintiff at such a price to cloath her self and leaves the fitness of the one and the reasonableness of the other to the Court for that is matter of Law whereof the Iurors have no Conusance Lessée for life of a House puts his Goods therein makes his Executors and dies whosoever hath the House after his death yet his Executors shall have frée Entry Egress and Regress to carry their Testators Goods out of the House by reasonable time Litt. 69. And this reasonable time shall be adjudged by the discretion of the Iustices before whom the cause depends upon the true state of the matter and not by the Iury Co. super Littleton 56. b. So it is in case of Fines for Admittance Customs and Services if the Question be whether the same be reasonable or not for reasonableness belongs to the knowledge of Law 4 Rep. 27. Hubarts case Lessée for life makes a Lease for years and dies within the term in an Action of Trespass brought by the first Lessor against the Lesseé for years he ought by his Plea to set forth what day his Lessor dyed and at what place where the Land lies and at what day he did leave the possession and so leave it to the discretion of the Court whether he did quit the possession in reasonable time or not 22 E. 4. 18. Soinors case The fitness or necessary of Apparel and the reasonableness of the price shall be judged by the Court upon the circumstance of the matter as the same appears by the Pleadings or is found by the Iury but the Iurors are not Iudges thereof Again there is a twofold necessity necessitas simplex vel absoluta and necessitas qualificata vel convenientiae of a simple or absolute necessity in the case of Apparel or Food for a Feme Covert the Law of the Land takes notice and provides remedy for the wife if the husband refuse or neglect to do it But if it be only necessitas convenientiae whether this or that Apparel this or that meat or drink be most necessary or convenient for any wife the Law makes no person Iudge thereof but the husband himself and in those cases no man is to put his hand betwéen the bone and the flesh I will conclude the general question or first point with the Iudgment of Sr. Thomas Smith in his book of the Common-wealth of England lib. 1. cap. 11. fo 23. The naturallest and first conjunction of two towards the making a further Society of continuance is of the husband and wife each having care of the Family the man to get to travel abroad to defend the wife to save to stay at home and distribute that which is gotten for the nurture of the Children and Family is the first and most natural but primate apparence of one of the best kind of Common-wealths where not one always but sometime and in some things another bears rule which to maintain God hath given to the man greater wit better strength better courage to compell the woman to obey by reason or force and to the woman beauty fair Countenance and sweet words to make the man obey her again for love Thus each obeyeth and commandeth the other and they two together rule the House so long as they remain together in one I wish with all my heart that the women of this age would learn thus to obey and thus to command their husbands so will they want for nothing that is fit and these kind of Flesh-flies shall not suck up or devour their Husbands Estates by illegal tricks I am come now to this particular case as it stands before us on this Record Admit that the husband were chargeable by Law by the Contract of his wife yet Iudgment ought to be given against the Plaintiff upon this Declaration as this Verdict is found First the Declaration is That the Defendant was indebted to the Plaintiff in 90 l. for Wares and Merchandizes by the Plaintiff to him before that time sold and delivered and the Verdict finds that the Wares were not sold and delivered to the Defendant but the same were sold to his wife without his privity or consent So it appears that the Plaintiff hath mistaken his Action upon
with the rest to the reason why the warranty is destroyed viz. because the husband takes back as great an Estate as he warranted for then no use can be made of the warranty If a man that has Land and another warrant this Land to one and his heirs and one of them die without heirs the survivor may be vouched without question The husband never was obliged by this warranty but as to him it was meerly nominal for from the very creation of it it was impossible that it should be effectual to any purpose he cited Hob. 124. in Rolls Osburn's case The whole Court agreeing in this Opinion Iudgment was given for the Tenant Term. Trin. 26 Car. II. in Communi Banco Hamond versus Howell c. THe Plaintiff brought an Action of False Imprisonment against the Mayor of London and the Recorder and the whole Court at the Old-baily and the Sheriffs and Gaoler for committing him to prison at a Sessions there held The case was thus some Quakers were indicted for a Riot and the Court directed the Iury if they believed the Evidence to find the Prisoners guilty for that the Fact sworn against them was in Law a Riot which because they refused to do and gave their Verdict against the direction of the Court in matter of Law they committed them They were afterwards discharged upon a Habeas Corpus And one of them brings this Action for the wrongful Commitment Sergeant Maynard moved for the Defendants that they might have longer time to plead for a rule had been made that the Defendants should plead the first day of this Term. The Court declared their Opinions against the Action viz. That no Action will lie against a Iudge for a wrongful Commitment any more then for an erroneous Iudgment Munday the Secondary told the Court that giving the Defendants time to plead countenanced the Action but granting imparlances did not So they had a special imparlance till Michaelmas Term next Atkyns It was never imagined that Iustices of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol-delivery would be questioned in private Actions for what they should do in Execution of their Office if the Law had been taken so the Statute of 7 Jac. cap. 5. for pleading the general Issue would have included them as well as Inferiour Officers Birch Lake A Prohibition was granted to the Spiritual Court upon this suggestion that Sir Edward Lake Vicar-general had cited the Plaintiff ex officio to appear and answer to divers Articles The Court said that the citation ex officio was in use when the Oath ex officio was on foot but that is ousted by the 17th of Eliz. If Citations ex officio were allowed they might cite whole Counties without Presentment which would become a trick to get money And the party grieved can have no Action against the Vicar-general being a Iudge and having Iurisdiction of the cause though he mistake his power Per quod c. Anonymus BAron Feme Administrators in the right of the Feme bring an Action of Debt against Baron Feme Administrators likewise in the right of the Feme de bonis non c. of J. S. The Action is for Rent incurred in the Defendants own time and is brought in the debet detinet The Defendants plead fully administred to which the Plaintiffs demurred Serj. Hardes for the Plaintiff said the Action was well brought in the debet detinet for that nothing is Assets but the profits over and above the value of the Rent he cited Hargrave's case 5 Rep. 31. 1 Rolls 603. 2 Cro. 238. Rich Frank. ibid. 411. ibid. 549. 2 Brook 202. 1 Bulstr 22. Moor 566. Poph. 120. though if an Executor be Plaintiff in an Action for Rent incurred after the Testators death he must sue in the detinet only because whatever he recovers is Assets but though an Executor be Plaintiff yet if the Lease were made by himself he must sue in the debet detinet Then the plea of fully administred is not a good plea for he is charged for his own occupation If this plea were admitted he might give in evidence payment of Debts c. for as much as the term is worth and take the profits to his own use and the Lessor be stript of his Rent in Styles Reports 49. in one Josselyn's case this plea was ruled to be ill And of that Opinion the Court was and said that Executors could not waive a Term though if they could they ought to plead it specially for it is naturally in them and prima facie is intended to be of more value then the Rent if it should fall out to be otherwise the Executors shall not be lyable de bonis propriis but must aid themselves by special pleading For the plea they said there was nothing in it and gave Iudgment for the Plaintiff Buckly Howard DEbt upon two Bonds the one of 20 l. the other of 40 l. against an Administratrix the Defendant pleaded that the intestate was endebted to the Plaintiff in 250 l. upon a Statute Merchant which Statute is yet in force not cancel'd nor annull'd and that she has not above 40 shillings in Assets besides what will satisfie this Statute The Plaintiff replies that the Statute is burnt with Fire The Defendant demurs And by the Opinions of Wyndham Atkyns Ellis Iustices the Plaintiff had Iudgment For the Defendant by his demurrer has confessed the burning of the Statute which being admitted and agreed upon it is certain that it can never rise up against the Defendant for the Stat. of the 23 Hen. 8. cap. 6. concerning Recognisances in the nature of a Statute-Staple refers to the Statute-Staple viz. that like Execution shall be had and made and under such manner and form as is therein provided the Statute-Staple refers to the Statute-Merchant and that to the Statute of Acton Burnel 13 Ed. 1. which provides that if it be found by the Roll and by the Bill that the Debt was acknowledged and that the day of payment is expired that then c. but if the Statute be burnt it cannot appear that the day of payment is expired and consequently there can be no Execution If the Recognisee will take his Action upon it he must say hic in Cur ' prolat 15 H. 7. 16. Vaughan differ'd in Opinion he said 1. That it is a rule in Law that matter of Record shall not be avoided by matter in pais which rule is manifestly thwarted by this resolution He said it was a matter of Record to both parties and the Plaintiff could not avoid it by such a plea any more then the Defendant could avoid it by any other matter of fact He cited a case where the Obligee voluntarily gave up his Bond to the Obligor and took it from him again by force and put it in suit the Defendant pleaded this special matter and the Court would not allow it but said he might bring his Action of Trespass
