That Hâ—spent a considerable time in the study of the Law at Grays-Inne and being unwearied in searching after all opportunities to improve his knowledge He at length was call'd to the Barr and gain'd in a little time the Vogue of being a profound and judicious Counsellor His Apprehension was alwaies quick his Judgment deliberate solid and not wavering of a clear discerning faculty his Memory sound and his Patience the truest index of a Wise man alwaies commanded his Passions in short He was a Person of exquisite natural and acquired Parts and that which much contributed to the latter was his great Moderation and Temperance whereby his study and business glided in their delighted Channels uninterrupted Being at length wearied with Business he retir'd into the Country where having finish'd this Elaborate Work he dyed Since whose death his Manuscript being left to the Guardianship of a Friend and committed into my hands in order to be made Publick for the further advantage of such as would be perfect in the setling of Estates I have hereunto added the Learning touching Fines and Recoveries hoping the Ingenious will be moderate in their Censures And if I have in this done any thing to your Advantage it will answer the pains of him that is Your Servant W.

Rep. fo 38. where speaking of a Fine with Render he hath these words The Cognizance of a Fine and a Grant and render therein shall be expounded and taken as a Charter or other Conveyance between party and party and not as a Writ or Iudgment upon Record A Fine sur Cognizance de droit tantum ove Fine sur done grant what grant which is also called a Fine sur done grant is levyed without Proclamations executory and much of the Nature of a Fine sur Concessit and is used commonly by Tenant for life to make a surrender of the Lands contained in it to him or them that have the Reversion or Remainder thereof and so you will find it used Chap. 10. Sect. 1. and 5. of this Treatise And sometimes it is expressed by such Fine that the particular Estate is in another and that the Cognizor willeth that the other shall have the Reversion or that the land shall remain to the other after the particular Estate spent West Symb. part 2. Dyer 216. Plowd 265. Coke 3. 86. and 7. 12. Crooke 1. last published fo 693. A Fine sur Concessit is where the Cognizor is Fine sur Concessit what seised of the Lands contained therein and the Cognizee hath no Freehold therein but it passeth by the Fine it is without proclamations and executory for the Cognizee or Cognizees therein must enter and have a writ of habere facias seisinam according to their several cases for the obtaining of the possession if the parties at the time of levying such Fine sur Concessit be not in possession of the thing granted but if they be in possession at such time there needs not any such Writ or any Execution of the said Fine to put them into possession for then the Fine will enure by way of Extinguishment of Right and doth not alter the Estate or right of the Cognizee however perchance it may better it CAP. III. Of the parts of a Fine THe parts of a Fine are five viz. The writ of Covenant 2. The Composition or the Kings licence to alienate 3. The Concord 4. The Note of the Fine 5. The foot of the Fine And if it be a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. it is requisite that a sixth be added viz. Proclamations as a necessary adjunct thereunto 1 The writ of Covenant is the original writ Writ of Covenant taken out by the Cognizee or Cognizees against the Cognizor or Cognizors to the Fine for without â—his a Fine cannot be levyed And a Fine may be levyed upon any writ of Right or other writ whereby Land is demanded or may be recovered 2 The Composition or Kings Licence to alienate Composition for which the 〈◊〉 hath a Fine or sum of mony which is called the Kings Silver and is paid in when the Land reposeth 3 The Concord or Agreement between the Concord parties that intend the levying of the Fine wherein is declared how and in what manner the things contained in the writ shall pass and as the writ of Covenant is the foundation so this is the substance of the Fine For if the Kings Fine be entered and indorsed upon the writ of Covenant by the Clerk of the Kings Silver although the Cognizor dye before the Fine comes to the Chirographer yet is the Fine good for the Note and foot of the Fine are but Abstracts taken out of this by the Chirographer 4 The Note of the Fine which is an Abstract Note of the Fine taken out of the writ of Covenant and Concord by the Chirographer before it be ingrossed and begins thus ss Inter A. B. quer C.

Some Observations taken out of our late Reports and Books touching the Law of Conveyances in general 1. A Bargains and sells to B. a Mannor Fine joyned with other assurances extinguisheth not a condition c. and Covenants to suffer a Recovery and levie a Fine for better assurance of the Mannor and that all Estates assurances and conveyances after to be made of the said Mannor should be to the uses in the said Indenture c. And in the said Indenture there is a Proviso that B. the Bargainee shall do such an Act c. And it was resolved that this Proviso amounts to a condition in Law to defeat the whole Estate and although A. and B. after levied a Fine to a third Person in reference to the Covenant aforesaid yet it was resolved that the Fine did not extinguish the said condition for it was as an assurance and was to be guided by the Indenture Cook lib. 2. 72 73. Lord Cromwels case vide Dyer 157. pag. 28 29 30. 2. Also it was resolved in the said Cromwells case Several conveyances c. do make but one assurance in Law fo 75. a. that the said bargain and sale and Recoverie and Fine although made suffered and levied at several times do make but one assurance in Law of the Mannor according to the same original bargain and contract and every of them tend to perfect the said Bargain and Sale and none of them to destroy any part of it or to subvert the true intent of the Parties As if a man makes a Lease for life of Lands in several Counties and first makes livery in one County and divers daies after maketh livery in another County yet the Rent reserved upon the Lease shall issue out of the Lands in both Counties although the livery by which the estate passed was made at several times And therefore it might be objected that presently upon the first livery the Rent should issue out of it but the Law shall not judge by parcels in subverting of the intent and agreement of the Parties but after all the Acts are done in performance of the original contract and agreement of the Parties the Law shall adjudge upon all as executed at the same time So if one make a deed of Feoffment with warranty and deliver the deed to the Feoffee and after at another time maketh livery secundum formam Charta yet the warranty is good although when the deed was delivered no estate passed to which the warranty might be annexed yet notwithstanding praxis juris pâ—â—storum is to be observed Et qui rationem in omnibus quarunt raâ—ionem subvertunt Cook l. 2. 75. a. Conveyances to be so construed that they may take effect 3. A Conveyance shall have such construction that it may take effect ut res magis valeat quà m pereat If Tenant for life and he in Remainder or Reversion joyn in a Feoffment by deed each one of them passeth his estate viz. the Lessee for life his estate by the livery and the Fee-simple moveth or passeth from him in Remainder or Reversion but if the Feoffment had been by Paroll then it should have been the Feoffment of him in Remainder or Reversion and a surrender of the Lessee for life for otherwise nothing should pass by Paroll Cook lib. 2. Fine works to corroborate a former estates and makes no discontinuance fol. 15. 4. Tenent in Tail by deed inrolled bargains and sells an house to another and his heirs and after the Tenant in Tail levies a Fine with Proclamations to the Bargainee of the same house Resolved 1. That by the Indenture of bargain and sale inrolled the Bargainee had an Estate descendible to his heirs but it was determinable by the death of the Tenant in Tail 2. Resolved that the Fine here levied to the Bargainee doth not make a Discontinuance of the Remainder in Tail nor doth any Estate of Free-hold pass by the Fine but only the Fine with the Proclamations doth corroborate the Estate of the Bargainee and the Stat. of 4 H. 7 chap. 24. and 32 H. 8. cap. 36. makes his Estate more perdurable being after the Fine determinable only upon the death of Tenant in Tail without issue but if the Fine had been levied before the bargain and sale inrolled it had been a discontinuance but in the case before it was not because it operated only upon the Estate which passed precedent Cook lib. 10. fol. 96. Edward Seymors case 5. Nota a diversity when a man hath two wayes Two waies to pass an Estate hoâ— taken to pass Lands and both of them by the Common-law and intends to pass them by one of those wayes yet ut res magiâ— valcat it shall pass by the other As if a man be seized of two Acres of Land in Fee and lettath one of them for Years and makes a Charter of Feoffment of both and maketh livery only of the Acre in possession in the name of both only the. Acre in possession passeth but if the lessee for years after doth attorne then both shall pass because he is by the common Law in the Per as to both but when a man may pass Lands either by the common Law or by raising of a use and setling of it by the Statute there in many cases it is otherwise As if the Father makes a Charter of Feoffment to the Son and a letâ—er of Attorney to make livery if no livery be made no use shall arise unto the Son because then he should be in by the Statute in another degree viz. in the Post and the intention of the Parties is much in the raising of uses Cook upon Lit. 49. a. 6. One sells unto another certain Lands by Acts done for further assurance referre to the Original agreement deed indented upon condition of Reentry upon non-payment of 20 l. and that all assurances shall then be to him and his heirs and Covenants to make other assurances and that they shall be to the use in the Indenture afterwards he makes a Feoffment to the same bargainee to the use of him and his heirs and afterwards levies a Fine to him which was to the uses in

Members though the greatest part of them consent thereto without the general consent of the whole Corporation may Levy a Fine for that shall not be good Corporations Spiritual as Bishops Deans and Chapters Heads and Fellows of Colleges and the like are forbidden and restrained by divers Acts of Parliament from levying any Fine of their lands belonging to them at this day but of the lands such persons have in their own Right they may levy Fines as other persons may do A Fine levyed by one Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner of Lands so held by him to a Stranger another Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner will be good And lastly take this general Caution concerning Cognizors in Fines That they must be such and have such an Estate in the Lands intended to be granted by Fine as they are not prohibited by any Law to levy the Fine otherwise the Fine will be void And hence it is That Bishops Deans and Chapters Prebends Parsons Vicars and the like may not levy a Fine of any Ecclesiastical Lands in which they have any Estate of Freehold in right of their Churches Houses c. for if they do it will be void after their lives Coke 11. 78. Plowd 575. 538. 375. 21 Edw. 4. 13. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate Tayl of the Kings gift of provision may not levy a good Fine of it to bind the King or the Issue in Tayl by 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. And that a Fine levyed by the heir that is an Intruder upon the Kings possession is void 1 H. 7. 5. 24 Edw. 3. 65. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate in Fee-simple of lands in the Right of his wife may not levy a Fine thereof without her and if he do she or her heirs or other person to whom the right may come may avoid it after her death 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. 12 Edw. 4. 14. Coke 6. 55. Brooke Fines 121. Concerning Cognizees in Fines you are to Wâ—o may be Cognizees in Fines know That any person that is capable of being a good Grantee in a Deed may be a good Cognizee in a Fine and may thereby have and take the thing granted by it And so any man or woman Sole or Covert of full age or under age any mad or Lunatick person Ideot or man de non sane memorie any person in or out of prison or beyond Sea any person attainted of Felony or Treason or outlawed in a personal Action a Bastard a Clerk convict an Alien any one of these may be a Cognizee and take by a Fine as well as by a Deed. And a Fine levyed to any such person is good 50 Edw. 3. 9. 3 H. 6. 42. 24 Edw. 3. 62. So Corporations Spiritual and Temporal Civil or Corporal may be Cognizees in Fines and Fines levyed to them will be good But before the Ingrossing of such a Fine there goeth alwaies a Writ to the Iustices of Common Pleas Quod permittunt Finem illum levari Note that a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. may not be levyed to any person but one that is party to the writ of Covenant Except the Cognizee be a Demandant in a writ of Entry And so a Fine levyed by the Demandant to the Vouchee who is supposed by the Law to be Tenant to the land or from the Vouchee to the Demandant is good and yet they are not Parties to the Writ But a Fine levyed by the Vouchee to a Stranger is void Coke 3. 29. 7 Edw. 4. 13. Care must be taken in Fines that Cognizors and By what names Cognizors and Cognizees may give and take in a Fine Cognizees must be named in Fines by their right names of Baptism and Surname except they be Kings Princes Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts or Barons which are admitted without any surname as Jacobus Rex Angliae Carolus Princeps Walliae Johannes Dux Lancastr c. But for Knights Esquires and Gentlemen which be names of Worship and Honour their Christian name and Sur-name are alwaies expressed together with their Additions And as for the Additions of Bishop Dean Parson c. they are admitted in Fines rather out of Courtesie then necessity for the Fine may be good without them Brownlow 1. part 30. 7 H. 4. 22. 1.

That things passed in Fines must be set down by their Nature and quality as Land Meadow Pasture c. and by the place where they lye there must be apt words used to express the thing named to pass by the Fine For a Fine levyed de tenemento or de hereditamento or de duobus tenementis for the uncertainty of the thing and unaptness of the words is void or voidable at least for Error Crooke 1. 196. Leon. Rep. 188. for the proper word to express a Tenement or Hereditament in a Fine Messuagium is Mesuagium and a Fine levyed de uno mesuagio or duobus mesuagiis is good That one Mannor may be parcel of another Mannor and pass by the name of that Mannor 20 Ass
