WAst war brought by Constance Foster Wast and another against Lessee for years in effect the case was such A man makes a Lease of certain Lands 44 Ed. 3. 34. b. 46 Ed. 3. 22. 28 Hen. 8. 19. a. excepting all manner of Woods the Lessee cuts down Trees and he in Reversion brings an Action of Wast and by the opinion of the Court the Lessee is not punishable in Wast for they were never let and therefore the Plaintif is driven to his Action of Trespass at the Common Law 2. THe Sherif returneth in a Writ of Right four Esquires to make the pannel Return and doth not say that there be any Knights it was sayd by the Court that he ought to return them which be and that there be no more 3. WAst was brought for digging in Land Wast and taking away Okes the Defendant pleaded in bar That the Queen by her Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England granted unto him that he might dig for Mines of Cole in the Land and prayed that it might be entred verbatim and a Grant under the Seal of the Exchequor was entred whereupon the Plaintif Demurred Now came Walmisley and would have amended it and by the opinion of the Court he cannot amend it after the Demurrer be entred Demurrer but Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif if he shew no other matter 4. A Man seised of Lands in Fee Devise and sale by Executors Deviseth to his Wife for life the Remainder to his Son in tayl and if his Son dye without issue of his body that then the Land shall be sold by his Executors and maketh two Executors and dyeth the Wife dyeth one Executor dyeth the Sonne dyeth without issue the other Executor selleth the Land and Gawdy the Queens Serjeant moved whether the sale be good or no and it seemeth to him that the sale is good and vouched the Case in 30 Hen. 8. Brook Devise 31. And now lately it was adjudged in the Kings-bench where a man did Devise his Lands in tayl and for default of such issue that the Land shall be sold by his Sonnes-in-law and dieth having five Sonnes-in-law the one dyed the others sold the Land and this was adjudged a good sale Anderson It seemeth the sale is not good for if one make a Letter of Attorney to two to make Livery and Seisin Livery if the one dye the other cannot doe it So if one grant the Office of Stewardship to two the one of them cannot hold Court alone Stewardship And if one of them may sell to what intent was the Statute of 21 Hen. 8. cap. 4. that those which take the Administration may sell Windham The Statute will not prove the case but it seemeth the sale to be naught And there is a difference where one giveth an interest to two and when he giveth but an authority Interest for an interest may survive but an authority cannot Authority Rodes to the same intent and cited M. 4 Eliz. fol. 219. a. 177. 210. 371. 5. BAttery Battery by Webster against Pain the Action was layd in London and in truth the Battery was committed at Uxbridge in Midlesex the Defendant pleaded that such a day and year at A. in the County of Huntington 11 H. 4. f. 3. 11 H. 4. f. 61. 22 H. 6. f. 33. 21 H. 6. f. 9. 9 E. 4. f. 46. 43 E. 3. 23. the Plaintif made an assault upon him and the hurt c. absque hoc that he is guilty in London Snag moved that the Traverse should not be good Anderson Will you have him to say absque hoc that he is guilty that he ought not for by the speciall matter he hath confessed the Battery and you will not deny but that if his Plea be true he hath good cause to bar the

party from his advantage given him by the Statute But all the other Justices held opinion against him for they sayd that a man ought to appear in proper person upon a Latitat which Anderson denyed and sayd that the Latitats are not but of threescore yeares continuance which the other day Peryam had affirmed and he seemed to mislike with the Latitats And the Serjeant moved for their resolution in the case Anderson All my Brethren are of opinion against me wherefore take your judgement accordingly And so judgement was entred for the Plaintif 21. GAwon brought Debt upon an Obligation against White Traverse with condition that if the Defendant suffer the Plaintif his Tenants and Farmers to enjoy such a Common that then c. And the Defendant pleaded conditions performed and the Plaintif assigned for breach that he did not suffer A. B. his Tenant to enjoy c. Absque hoc that he performed the condition And it was sayd by the Court that this Traverse was not good no more than if one be bound to perform the covenants in an Indenture and the Defendant pleads that he hath performed all generally if the Plaintif assign his breach he shall not say further Absque that the Defendant hath performed the covenants for so much he had sayd before But Walmisley would have put a difference between the cases because in the one there were divers covenants to be performed but not so here Anderson If a man plead a Plea which is sufficient of it self and take a traverse allso you will grant that this Plea is not good quod fuit concessum and this Plea had been sufficient of it self onely quod fuit concessum ergo the traverse was not good without question Et sic opinio totius Curiae 22. GOverstone brought a Replevin against B. Rent charge who avowed the taking for a Rent charge granted to him by the Duke of Suffolk And this was the case The Duke was seised of three parts of a Mannor and granted a Rent charge to the Avowant And one Pole was seised of the fourth part and Hatcher purchased the Dukes three parts and the part of Pole allso and demised a fourth part to the Plaintif but the Serjeants could not agree whether it was Poles fourth part or otherwise the fourth part generally and as it seemed to the Court if it were the fourth part of Pole then the Avowry is not maintainable but otherwise if it were the fourth part generally And after in Michaelmas Term the case was rehearsed again and it was that he demised eandem quartam partem to hold at will And all the Justices agreed that it shall be discharged because it was never charged allthough once he might have distreined in all the Mannor Vnion of possession for that then there was no fourth part for all was alike in the hands of the purchaser but now when the fourth part is in the hands of a stranger it is no reason that it shall be charged Walmisley But the Tenant at will hath nothing but the profits by the way of taking Tenant at wil. and not any land but if Hatcher had made a Feoffment then I agree that it shall be discharged ●eryam And as well shall Tenant at will take the profits in his own right as long as the will doth continue wherefore judgement was given for the Plaintif 23. LEssee for years Wast the reversion in fee to Constance Foster and the Lessee granted over all his term and interest to A. B. Pasch 18 El. reserving and excepting all trees growing in and upon the premisses Rot. 420. the Lessee makes wast and destruction in the trees and C. F. brought Wast against the assignee and if this action will lye or no was the question wherein it was disputed whether this exception and reservation made by the Lessee be good or no for if the reservation be voyd then the action will lye well against the Assignee and thereupon these cases were put to shew both what interest the Lessor and Lessee have in the Trees viz. 33 Hen. 8. 2 Hen. 7. 42 Ed. 3. 21 Hen. 6. 46. 27 Hen. 6. Wast in Slatham 2 Eliz. fol. Danseyes case 7 Hen. 6. 12 Ed. 4. but to prove the reservation voyd Fenner took this ground That thing which a man cannot grant he cannot reserve and the Lessee cannot grant the Trees ergo he cannot reserve them And afterwards judgment was given for the Plaintif for default of pleading on the part of the Defendant but for the matter in Law two Judges were against the other two so that they could not agree De Term. Mic. An. Reg. Eliz. xxix xxx 1. AN action of Debt was brought by Bret against Andrews upon an Obligation indorced with condition to stand to the arbitrement of A. B. Request who did arbitrate that the Defendant should pay to the Plaintif xx●l and appointed no certain day of payment and the Defendant in pleading confessed the arbitrement but he sayd further that the Plaintif did never require him to pay it and thereupon the Plaintif demurred in Law and upon reading of the Record the Court held clearly that it was no plea because the Defendant at his peril ought to make payment within convenient time and the Plaintif needeth not to make any request And Anderson commanded to enter judgment accordingly 2. FEnner moved this case Possibility of Interest a man deviseth lands to his Wife for term of her life and if she live untill his sonne come to the age of 24 yeares that then he shall have the lands and if she dye before he come to that age that then I. S. shall have it untill his sonne come to that age and dyed then I. S. dyed before the wife and after she dyed before the sonne came to 24 years if the Executors of I. S. shall have the land untill the sonne come to that age or no was the question And the opinion of all the Court was that they shall not have it because their Testator had never any interest vested in him Fenner But here was a possiblity of an interest Curia But that is not sufficient Rodes cited the case of Bret and Rigden in the Commentaries Grant Anderson If I grant you that if you pay me xxl. at Easter then you shall have an Annuity of xl s to you and your heirs if you dye before Easter now your Heir shall never have it and so in this case 3. THatcher recovered in an Assise of Novel disseisin against Elmer for Lands in Hackney in Middlesex Redisseisin and after Elmer re-disseised him and Thatcher re-entred and Elmer disseised him again And Fleetwood moved the Court if Thatcher may have re-disseisin because that after action accrued to him he had re-entred Anderson What is the Judgement in this Action Judgement Surely it is not that he shall recover any land but double damages and that the

case the partie shall have a consultation Popham The one of the parties is a man temporall and so was it not in your case Sic nota that by the Spirituall law the Vicar shall have Tithes of Saffron of land newly sown with Saffron albeithat before the Parson had the Tith of that land being sowen with Corn. 76. NOta that by the course of the Kings-bench a man may have Oyer of the deed after imparlance Oyer of a deed but not in the Common place Q. 77. BEckford brought an ejectione firme against Parnecote Devise before purchas● and the Case upon the speciall Verdict was found to be this That one Parsons was seised of certain land in A. and had issue four Daughters viz. Barbera Johan E. and Mary and made his Will in writing And by the same Will he devised all his land in Aldeworth to Barbera and Johan two of his daughters and made them two his Executors and after he purchased other land in Aldworth and a stranger was desirous to purchase this land of him newly purchased And he said that that land should goe with the residue of his land to his Executors as his other land should go After the said Testator made a Codicill and caused it to be annexed to his Will But the Codicill was of other things and mentioned nothing of this land and whether this new purchased land shall pass by the Will without new publication of the Will for this land was the question Moor I think that the land newly purchased shall pass and to prove that he said that the reason in Bretts case 340. Com. for which land newly purchased shall not pass is by reason that there is no manner of new publication but in our case there is new publication and in Trivillians case 4 M. 143. where cestui quae use made a Will And then the Statute of 27 H. 8. of uses came now this Will was comptrouled The Statute of Wills but by a new publication it may be made good and he cited 44. E. 3. 12. and 44 Ass 36. Atkinson è contra For this Will ought to be warranted by the Statute otherwise it is not good and the Statute doth not enable him which hath no land at the time of the devise to devise land and the words of the Statute manifest this which are Where any person or persons having any land holden c. So by the express words Want of apt words if he have no lands at the time of the Devise he may not Devise as appears plainly in Brets case allso it appears that words out of a Will will never make that to pass which was intended before and with that agreeth the Lord Cheney his case and the case of Downhall and Catesby lately adjudged and in this case allbeit the Testator allowed this Will after to be his Will Things not expressed in the Wil must be expressed in the publication yet this shall never make this land newly purchased to pass without express publication of this land Clinch Justice sayd it seemed to him that the land newly purchased shall pass for after that he had made his last purchase the Testator heard the Will read and by that he devised all his lands in Aldworth and then knew that the land newly purchased lay in Aldworth and upon reading of the Will he allowed it and so I think that the new purchased land shall pass as well as the other and that this allowance upon the reading is a new publication Gawdy Justice è contra For if I make my Will and by that devise all my land in Dale and after I purchase other land there and one afterwards shews me the Will and demands of me if it shall be my Will and I answer it shall I say that this land newly purchased shall not pass Hearing and allowance is a publication and in this case howbeit that the reading of the Testament or annexing of the Codicill be a new publication yet it doth not manifest the intent to be that more shall pass by that than he intended at the first and allso the new reading of the Will and the annexing of the Codicill may not properly be termed a new publication as this case is Where there it no controlment there needeth no new publication for here was not any Controlment and for that the Will needs not any new publication by which it seemeth that without any express publication for this land newly purchased this land shall not pass for the things which are found to be done are but allowances and no new publications 78. HArecourt brought a Writ of Error upon a Judgment given in the Common-place Amendment and assigned for Error for that the Judgement was that the now Defendant should recover xx l. assessed to him per Jnr. nec non x l. bassessed to him hic per Jur. where it ought to be per Cur. Yelverton prayed that it might be amended for that the Record in the Common-place was right and the Misprision which made this Error was in the Clerk which certified the Record and the opinion of the Conrt was that if it were so it should be amended and therefore they sayd they would have the Record it self brought out of the Common-place thither to be viewed whether it were so or not The Record it self shall not be sent out of the Court. Worley Clerk The Justices of the Common-place will not suffer the Record to be brought hither Popham That is no new President that the Record shall be brought hither for I have seen it done before this time But after in truth the Justices of the Common-place would not send their Record into the Kings-bench and therefore Cook the Queens Attorney prayed that it might be amended Popham It may not be amended for that I have spoken with the Justices of the Common place and they say that the Record was at the first as it was certified viz. Iur. pro. Cur. and after the Record was certified it was amended by a Clerk without any Warrant Cook Allbeit that it was so yet under Correction it is amendable for it is the misprission but of a Clerk and that of a Letter onely viz. of I. for this letter C. for the word is written Jur. short where it ought to have been Cur No amendment in ●●int of Judgement and so amendable by the Statute of 8 Hen. 6. Curta è contra for it is parcell of the Judgement and you never saw the Judgement of the Court amended for which it cannot be amended here 79. EAst Executor of I. S. brought an Action upon the case of finding and Converting of certain goods Trover against Newman And upon not guilty pleaded the Jury found this speciall Verdict viz. That the Testator was possessed of divers goods and them lost and the Defendant found them And knowing them to be the goods of the Testator upon demand denied to deliver them And

had warranty to detain Garr●nty and they made partition the one could not vouch without the other V●u●her and therefore she should pray in ayd and then both to vouch Paramount and so the Statute which giveth p●●tition between Joyntenants saveth their warranty otherwise it were gone And so if two Joyntenants make a lease for years reserving rent upon condition Partition of a 〈◊〉 and after they make partition as they well may having the reversion and the freehold in them I hold the Law clearly that the one nor the other shall enter for the condition broken Then in the case of the King I hold the Law that it shall not be apportioned and yet I agree that the King shall have his Pre●●gatives for his present lands and goods Prerogative but he shall never have Prerogative when wrong shall be done to any man Rent charge app●rtioned If the King have a Rent chage and after Purchase parcell of the Land charged it shall be apportioned 21 Hen. 7. he may well condition that his Feoffee shall not alien for in those cases there is no prejudice to others but all those cases run upon other grounds And in Bartlets case the King is bound by the Statute of donis conditionalibus for it was a wrong that the Donee at the Common Law should alien the inheritance And this case as me seemeth is not within the concourse of Title C●●●●urse of ●itle as my Brother Rodes hath argued neither is the King deceived as hath been said For when the King enters he shall be seised in pristino statu suo Dyer and this is a principall reason in Winters case 16 Eliz. a person makes a Lease reserving Rent upon condition that if it be behind lawfully demanded that then he shall re-en●er De●and after the reversion cometh to the King he shall not ma●● demand I agree well thereto the reason is because the demand is a thing which goeth to the person of the King Then Sir the Statute is that the King shall have it as the Prior had it which is meant of the estate and not of the person of the King Then Sir it is impossible that the King should have the land as the Prior had it ut in pristino statu suo if he doe not utterly defeat the grant made to Cordall then here the condition is gone The Kings grant against the Law is voyd but not by any grant as it hath been moved but by the operation of the Law And 49 Ed. 3. the King grants that lands shall be devisable it is voyd because it is against the Law and it is against the Law that a condition should be apportioned ergo the King shall not apportion it But admit this question against me then let us see what title the Queen hath by this commission First the commission is to enquire if Cordall his Assigns and Farmers have performed all covenants and provisoes contained in the Indenture Proviso as for that I hold the law clear that they have au●hority by those words to enquire of the condicion but for other reasons I think the Commission void For the Commission is to enquire per bonos legales homines de Com. nostre M●dd and it doth not appear here that the Jurors were of Middlesex and therefore the inquisition is not good Further Severall spespecial finding they have found a thing in another County and this they cannot find but I hold that the Jury in one County may find the generall issue in another County Allso I hold that when the party cannot plead that which is the great matter of the Action they may find it in an another County because the party cannot pleade it as in 9 Ed. 2. in debt against Executors c. And for these reasons I hold judgement is to be given for the Defendant 2. RIchard Heydon Misre-cital in Letters Patentt Gentleman demands against Benjamin Ibgrave Gentleman the third part of 40. Acres of Land with the appurtenances in three parts to be divided in Sarrot in the County of Hartford as his right and Inheritance and to hold of our Lady the Queen in Capite and Laies the Esples in the time of Ed. the sixth and that such is his Right he offers himself c. And the aforesaid Benjamin put himself upon the great Assise whether it be his right or no c. And now the Assise made by the four Knights appeared at the Bar Challenge Snagg Serjeant for the Plantif we challenge A. B. for that c. Nelson chief Prothonotary all the Court you cannot challenge because it was made by the four Knights and the Assise is now at the Bar. Snagg well Sir then we will give evidence Anderson for whom are you Snagg for the Plantif Anderson then you shall not give evidence first for the Tenant affirms that he hath more right Evidence and that ought to be first proved Rodes and all the Court So it was here rul'd five years ago in Nowells case and thereupon Puckering gave evidence for the Tenant that it was Parcell of the Mannor of Sarrot which Mannor the Tenant hath and this was granted by the Counsell of the Defendant And in conclusion upon the evidence given the Defendant would have had the Tenant to have Demurred upon his evidence and discharge the Inquest but the Tenant would not in effect this was the doubt K. H. 8. by his Letters Patents gave among other things all the Lands which were in the Tenure of one Whyton and demised to Johnson in the Parish of Watford And it was true that the Lands were in the Tenure of Whyton but not demised to Johnson Misre-citall and allso they were not in the Parish of Watford if this shall be helped by the Statute of Misrecitall and not Recitall is the question and the party did not aver that the intent of the King was to pass this Parcell now in question to the Patentee and the opinion of all the Court was that it is not within the Statute clearly but they said to the Jury that they may find all this matter if they will or otherwise say what they will And thereupon after they were agreed they came again to the Bar and then all the Court told them that yet they might give a speciall Verdict The Jury said we are all agreed that the Tenant hath more right to hold these Lands as he now holdeth then the Demandant as he demands them Anderson then are you discharged and as I think you have done well So they gave their Verdict according to the opinion of the Court for the Statute of Misrecitall and yet Peryam was well content to have them give a speciall Verdict and the Demandant was demanded who appeared and thereupon Judgement finall was given for ever against him 3. ONe Tirrell brought an Action of Debt against a Hundred in Essex H●e and Cry for

which you allege is against you And the Wife of the Defendant being in Court was very importunate whereupon the Court moved an agreement and the Plaintif was content upon condition that the Defendant would enter into bond but the Defendant seemed unwilling by his silence Anderson Wee have made stay to the intent to do the Defendant good and he will not be content when more than reason is offered him wherefore let Judgement be entred for the Plaintif 7. IN a replevin by Gybson against Platlesse Revocation of a VVill. the Defendant made Conusance as Baylif to Anne Wingfield and the Issue was whether the Land descended to Anne Wingfield Norfolk Trin. as Daughter and Heir to I. W. and upon evidence this was the case 28 Eliz. rot 2●30 The said I. W. was seised of the Lands in question and divers other Lands and by his last VVill devised all his Lands and Tenements to Anthony Wingfield of London Goldsmith in Fee and after and before his death he made a Feoffment in Fee of the same Lands which he had devised to the same A. W. and when he sealed the Feoffment he demanded will not this hurt my Will and it was answered again that it would not and he said if this will not hurt my Will I will seal it and then he sealed it and a Letter of Attorny to make livery and in some of the Lands the Attorney made livery but not of the Lands now in question and after the Testator died now if the Devisee shall have the Lands or no was the question for if this Feoffment be Revocation of the Will then the Devise is void And it was said by the Counsell of Anne VVingfield that it is a Revocation For if the Testator had said that this shall not be his Will then it had been a plain Revocation quod fuit concessum per Curiam and then the making of the Feoffment is as much to say as that the Will shall not stand but it was answered by the Court that it appeared that the mind of the Testator was that his Will should stand and when he made the Feoffment this was a Revocation in Law and if no Feoffment had been made there had been no Revocation in Law and there is no Revocation in deed for he said if this will not hurt my Will I will seal it and allthough that the Attorney made livery in part Feof●ent perfect in part so that the Feoffment was perfect in part yet for the Lands in question whereof no livery was made the Will shall stand Will. for a Will may be effectuall for Part and for Part it may be revoked and the Court told the Jury that this was their opinion and thereupon the Jury found accordingly that the Land did not descend to A. VV. quod nota And Fenner who was of Counsell with the Plaintif before the coming again of the Jury to the Bar said to the Counsell of the Defendant that the Law was clear against them Allso he said to divers Barresters afterward privately that in the case of Serjeant Jeofres it was adjudged that where one had made his Will and after one of his friends came unto him and demanded of the Testator if he had made his Wil and he answered no. And he demanded again will you make your Will and he answered no and yet this was adjudged no Revocation 8. ONe Lea of Essex Privelege was sued in an Action of Battery in the Common pleas Battery and upon non culp pleaded it appeared upon the evidence that the Defendant and others had thrown daggers at the Plaintif and grievously hurt and maimed him in outragious manner and Peryam said to the Jury that they ought to consider that the Plaintif was put in fear of his life and had one of his hands maimed and what damage he had susteyned by his Mayhem and that they ought to give damage as well for the fear and assault as for the Mayhem and when the Jury was gone from the Bar the Defendant caused the Plaintif to be arrested in the Kings Bench for a battery done to him by the Plaintif before and this was shewed to the Court and thereupon they sent for Lea and were grievosly offended with him for they said that when a man is sued here Privelege de Court. he ought safely to come and go by the privilege of this place without vexation elsewhere And Lea pleaded that he was ignorant of the Law but the Court answered that ignorantia juris non excusat and therefore they said that they would punish him and discharge the other Then the Plaintif said that he had put in bayl to the arrest and the Court answered if you had not done so we would have discharged you but now we cannot but they commanded Lea to release his arrest or otherwise he should smart for it Fine and Lea was well content to do so Anderson yet you shall pay a fine here allso for otherwise we shall be perjured wherefore because you are ignorant you shall be fined at vj. s and Lea payed the vj. s incontinently and went for to release his arrest Rodes You have escaped well therefore let this be a warning 9.

Radford A. was a Copyholder in Fee according to the custom of a Mannor whereof the Queen was Lady And she by her Letters Patents let the Copy hold to B. for years and he granted his Term to the Copyholder if by this the Copyhold be determined or no was the doubt And it was agreed by the Court and all the Serjeants 28 H. 8. 30. b. that if the Lease had been made immediately from the Queen to the Copyholder then it had been a plain determination but some put a diversity because the Patentee was not Lord of the Mannor Peryam I think the Copyhold is not gone for when the Copyholder hath an interest in possession and the other in the Freehold and the Patentee grants his interest to the Copyholder what surrender can this be Anderson I will not have it a surrender but I will have his interest to be determined For when he is a Copyholder this is by Custom and when the Land is left this is by the Common Law and when this is granted to the Copyholder surely he shall not have both For he cannot have a Copyhold in the Land and have the Land also wherefore in my opinion the Copyhold is gone Peryam Peradventure by the grant to the Patentee the Rent shall pass if there be any but it shall be hard to make it a determination of the Copyhold for they are two distinct and two severall interests Anderson By the grant made to the Patentee the Rent shall not pass for he hath no Reversion adjornatur 10. A Quare impedit was brought by Specot and his wife against the Bishop of Exeter

half whereby the Land was sown accordingly and that the Bore of Okely came and destroyed the Corn. Sed utrum c. And the doubt rested upon two points 1. because the Verdict saith that it conteineth sixty Acres and so shall be intended not the same place and the Court varied in opinion thereof insomuch that the sixteen Acres are found to be within the close conteining sixty Acres but for the 2 which was that they all four joyned in quare clausum fregit and it appeareth that three have nothing there Verdict shall abate the Writ but that Hare is sole seised And for that the Court held opinion that the Verdict shall abate the Writ for the Defendant cannot break their close where three of them have nothing but Hare onely Rodes A Case hath been adjudged a where Che●ey brought Partition against Bury Partition who pleaded that they did not hold in Common and the Jury found that he and his Wife held in Common and yet the Verdict abated the Writ Windham You will all grant that the other three have no interest in the Land quod Walmisley concessit how then can they have quare 〈◊〉 fregit Fenner Executors shall have quare clausum fregit Executors and yet they have no interest in the Land Rodes There they have an interest for the time Anderson Here is but a bargain and no interest and then the three have no colour to bring Trespass quare ela●sum fregit 10. THe Quare impedit brought by the Queen against the Bishop of Lincoln was demurred in Law Avoydance and now the Record was read and day given over to hear the Arguments but 〈◊〉 said that it is all one case with that which hath been adjudged here viz. that the Queen hath title of Lapse and doth not present but the Patron presents and after the Church becomes voyd by the death of the Incumbent that now the Queen shall not present but the Court answered Difference between Death and Privation that there the avoydance came by death but here it cometh by privation and whether this will make a diversity was the question 11. HArper brought Trespass against Spiller and Drew Estate upon not guilty pleaded a speciall Verdict was found and the case in effect was this F. gave Lands to a woman to have and to hold to her to the heirs of F. of the body of the woman ingendred what estate the woman had was the question and now the Record was read and day given over to argue it 12. SHuttleworth moved the Court Amendment and shewed that one Brokes by had brought a Quare impedit against the Bishop of Lincoln and others and the Writ was suam spectat donationem and this word 〈◊〉 was omitted and he prayed the Court that it might be amended and he cited 11 Hen. 6. 2. where it was imaginavit and it should have been imaginat fuit and 13 Hen. 7. where the teste was omitted and the Court took time of advisement and at length by the opinion of all the Justice it was amendable and then a Clerk of the Chancery came into the Court of the Common-pleas and amended it 13. IN an Avowry for an Amercement in a Leet By-law a Prescription was made for making of By-lawes and Peryam sayd that every By-law ought to be made for the common benefit of the inhabitants and not for the private commodity of any particular man as J. S. onely or the Lord onely As if a By-law be made that none shall put in his beasts into the common-field before such a day this is good but if a By-law be made that they shall not carry hay upon the lands of the Lord or break the hedges of J. S. this is not good because it doth not respect the common benefit of all And Windha●● sayd that some Books are that they shall bind no more than such as agree to them 14. HAre brought Debt against Curson for a great sum Capias utl●gatum and Process continued untill Capias ●tlog And the Plaintif moved the Court that the Sherif might be commanded to execute the Writ because they doubted thereof and the Writ was delivered to the Sherif in Court and he sayd that he would doe his endeavour but Curson hath long kept his house so that he cannot come at him Peryam You may take the power of the Country with you and break his house and take him out for so it hath been adjudged here which the Court granted 15. PUckering shewed how an Action of Debt was brought against an Administrator Asset● who pleaded plens administra●it and thereupon the Jury found a speciall Verdict that certain Obligations made by the Testator to the value of a hundred pound were forfeit and the Administrator took in the said Bonds and gave his own Bond for the Debt and retained the money in his own hands besides which c. he had nothing c. and if that hundred pound shall be liable to this Action of the Plaintif they prayed the advice of the Court and by the opinion of Windham and Peryam it shall not be Assets because the property is changed in giving his own Bond for the same Payment with Proper r●●ds and it is as if he had payd the Debts with his own goods but if he had compounded for less Surplusage then the surplusage should have been Assets But Rodes was of a contrary opinion in the principall case forasmuch as he had payd no money but onely given his Bond for in and Anderson was absent at this day And after at another day the case was moved again by Shuttelworth and then he shewed that for part thereof the Administrator had given his Bond and for another part his promise Promise and he sayd that this is no payment but a composition and therefore no change of property Anderson For so much as he hath given his promise I think it not good because that by this promise this first debt being due by Bond is not discharged but for so much as he hath given his Bond for I hold it good enough because the first Debt is discharged thereby allthough that the Obligation be made to a stranger Estranger by the appointment of the Debtee and allso before the Debt due for by this the first Debt is gone And Windham and Peryam were of the same opinion that the Debt was discharged and that it should not be Assets in his hands but Rodes doubted thereof and it was adjorned 16. JOhn Cleyton brought an Ejectione firme against Lawsell and Lawsell Defendants Abatement and after a Verdict found for the Plaintif and before Judgement one of the Defendants died and the Writ was adjudged to stand good against the other 17. IN Debt by Saunderson Wager of Law the Defendant pleaded nil debet per legem and in truth the money was due to the Plaintif but the Plaintif was allso

view of the Record it appeared that no originall was certified and therefore could not be amended 33. EJectione firme inter Bulleyn Bulleyn Devise Cook Attorney Generall The case is that Simon Bulleyn being cestui que use before 27 H. 8. Devised to his Wife certain Land for her life that after her decease Robert Bulleyn his eldest sonne shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost Limitation and if he dyed without issue that Richard Bulleyn his second sonne shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost and if he dye without issue of his body then his two Daughters A. and B. shall have the land paying the value thereof to the Executors of his Wife and allso by the same Will he desired his Feoffees at the request of his Wife to make Estates accordingly The chief question and knot of the case is whether Robert Bulleyn the Devisee hath an estate tayl or not and he sayd it seemed to him he had but an estate tayl and for that we are to see whether the payment ought to precede or is subsequent to the estate and I think it is subsequent to the estate For the words are my sonne Robert shall have my laud ten pound under the price it cost and so by the words he ought to have the land before any payment and I think he shall have the land by course of limitation Limitation and if he doe not pay the money that R. B. shall have the land as Heir by limitation Crickmores case and for that purpose he cited Crickmores case in 3 Elizab. where a man had two Daughters and devised his land to his eldest daughter paying to the youngest ten pound there the eldest had all the land till she failed of payment of the ten pound and then it was adjudged that the youngest should have the moity by way of limitation Vellock Heymonds case And 32 Eliz. it was adjudged in this Court inter Vellock Heymond where a man devised Burrongh English land to the eldest brother paying to the youngest ten pound and after the elder failed of payment and the youngest entered by way of limitation And in this case these words that Robert my son shall have my land ten pound under the price it cost will make a condition as well as if he had sayd paying ten pound and to prove that he cited Sir Edward Cleres case Sir Edward Cleres case that these words upon trust and confidence will not make a Condition by reason that the Devisor had a speciall trust and confid●nce in the Devisee but it is otherwise here and in this case the estate of necessitie ought to precede the payment for it is appointed that the payment shall be made to the Executors of the woman and so if the estate doe not precede the payment then during the life of the woman the Devisee shall have no estate for during her life she cannot have Executors and so by consequence can there be no payment Allso the words of the Will are I desire my Feoffees to make an estate at the request of my Wife so that his meaning was plain that there should be an estate made in the life of the Wife for after her death she may not make request but it hath been sayd that the state should be Fee simple for that the words are that he shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost and so these words paying shall carry the Fee simple And as to that I say that it shall not against an expressed estate Expressed estate And for that 2 El. 117. a Frenchman devised lands to his Wife for life the remainder to C. F. and to the heirs Males of his body and if he dye without heirs of his body the remainder over and it was taken clearly that the generall limitation if he dyed without issue of his body shall not alter the speciall tayl for that the intent is apparent and allso he cited Claches case and Atkins case 34 Eliz. 33. Allso in this case Robert Bulleyn the Devisee is made Executor to the woman so that if it were a condition subsequent he may not make payment to himself but shall have the land discharged of the condition by reason of the impossibility as if the woman had dyed intestat there is no person to whom the payment ought to be made and so the Devisee is discharged of the condition Allso in this case the Devisee being eldest sonne may not forsake the Devise and take by descent as in 3 Hen. 6. 46. it is for the benefit of him in remainder but if he might waive he may not waive in pais as 13 Rich. 2. Joyntenancy is adjudged And allso when he enters at the first he is seised by the Devise for he hath no other right for if he might waive he in remainder shall not take Et adjornatur but the Court seemed to lean that the estate should be a Fee simple 34. BUry brought an Action upon his case for words against Chappell Slander viz. He hath been in Fowlers Tub innuendo the Tub of one Fowler a Chirurgeon in which Tub no person had been but those which were layd of the Pox I will not say of the Pox but he lay in the Tub that time that Lagman his Wife was layd of the Pox and tell thy Master his hair falls from his head and he is a pilled Knave and a Rascall Knave and a Villain and no Christian and thinks there is neither heaven nor hell and adjudged that the Action is not maintainable 35. A Man is arraigned of Felony and acquitted Flight for Felony but it is found that he fled for the Felony he shall not lose his goods that he had at that time of his flying but at the time of the acquittall tit Coronae Fi●zh 296. Bro. tit relation 31. 3 Ed 3. 36. WIlkinson brought Error upon a Judgment given against him in the Common place Variance between emparlance and judgment roll for date of the Obligation And the case was that in Debt brought against Wilkinson in the Common place upon an Obligation bearing date 1● die Novembris the Defendant imparled and in the next Term the Plaintif declared a new prout patet upon an Obligation bearing date 12. Februarii and upon nihil dicit had judgment And now in the Writ of Error brought by the Defendant the Plaintif prayes that it may be amended Gawdie Fenner said it could not be amended but the Lord Popham and Clinch said it might be amended 37. SKelt brought an Assumpsit against Wright and declared that the Defendant in consideration of 10l assumed to make two lights into one New triall and upon non assumpsit pleaded they were at issue and the Record of nisi prius was to make two lights and one where it ought to be into one and upon that at the nisi prius the

pleaded that before the said Feast of St. Mich. the said G. did not tender to him any acquittance Gawdie The Obligation is void for in so much as the Obligee hath not tendred to him any acquittance therefore he hath tolled from him the election whereof he shall not take advantage Fenner è contra for the election is not in the Partie for the making ●o the acquittance resteth in the will of the Obligee and so the Obligor hath no election Popham was of the same opinion 56. IF a Sheriff doe execute his Writ the same day that the Writ is retornable Execution of a writ done the day of the retorn it is a good execution per Yelverton and he cited these cases A Judgement given in a quare impedit 18. Eliz. and the Writ of dammages was executed the same day that it was retornable and this matter pleaded in arrest of judgement and notwithstanding the partie had judgment and if a capias ad satisfaciendum goe forth and the Sheriff take the Partie the same day that the Writ is retornable and send him into the Court who will say that this is not a good execution 57. WOodcock brought an Action of Debt against Heru Assets Executor of I. S. The Defendant pleaded that the Testator in his life time made a Statute Staple to one I. K. in the sum of 1000 l. and above that he hath nothing And if this Plea be good or not is the question Fenner The Plea is good without question Gawdie I have heard divers learned men doubt of that for if the Testator were bound in a Statute to perform Covenants which are not yet broken and it may be they will never be broken and then he shall never be chargeable by this Statute and yet he shall never be compelled to pay any debts which will be a great inconvenience And again I think there will be a greater mischief of the other part for put the case if the Executors doe pay this debt and the Statute is broken after he shall be chargeable by a devastavit of his own proper goods the which will be a greater inconvenience 58. BRough against Dennyson brought an Action for words Slander viz. Thou hast stoln by the high-way side Popham The words are not actionable for it may be taken that he stole upon a man suddenly as the common proverb is that he stole upon me innuendo that he came to me unawares And when a man creepeth up a hedge the common phrase is he stole up the hedge Fenner When the words may have a good construction you shall never construe them to an evill sense And it may be intended he stole a stick under a hedge and these words are not so slanderous that they are actionable 59. A Copy-holder was not upon his Land to pay his rent Forfeiture of a copy-hrld when the Lord was there to demand it And whether this were a forfeiture or not was the question Fenner It is no forfeiture if there were not an express denyall for the non-payment here is but negligence the which is not so hainous an injurie as a willfull denyal for it may be that the Copy-holder being upon the Land hath no money in his purse and therefore it shall be a very hard construction to make it a forfeiture But if he make many such defaults it may be it shall be deemed a forfeiture Popham If this shall not be a forfeiture there will grow great danger to the Lord and the Copy-holders estate was of small account in ancient time and now the strength that they have obtained is but conditionally to wit pay their rent and doing their sevices and if they fail of any of these the Condition is broken and it seemeth cleer if the rent be payable at our Lady day Demand after the day and the Lord doth not come then but after the day to demand the rent there is no forfeiture 60. THe Case was that there was Lessee for life Sir Henry Knevit against Poole interest of Corn. the Remainder for life and the first Lessee for life made a lease for years and this Lessee was put out of possession by a stranger and the stranger sowed the Land and the first Lessee for life dyed and he in remainder for life entred into the Land and leased it to Sir Henry Knevit and who should have the corn was the question Tanfeild argued that Sir H. K. being Lessee of the Tenant for life in remainder shall have the corn for the reason for which a man which hath an uncertain estate shall have the corn is for that he hath manured the land and for that it is reason that he that laboureth should reap the fruit but he said that the stranger that sowed the land shall not have the corn Lease of ground sowed because his estate begun by wrong for if a man make a lease for life of ground sowed and before severance the Lessee dyed now his Executor shall not have the corn Assignment after sowing concess per Popham cont per Gawdy for that they came not of the manurance of their Testator so it is if the Lessee for life sowe the land and assign over his interest and dye now the Assigne shall not have the corn cansa qua supra and for this reason in our case neither the Executors of the first Tenant for life nor the Lessee of the first Tenant for life shall have the corn here for that it comes not by their manurance and the stranger which sowed them he shall not have them Vncertainty necessarie unnecessary difference for albeit he manured the land and howbeit his estate was defeasable upon an uncertainty yet he was a wrong doer and the incertainty of his estate came by his own wrong for which the law will never give any favour to him and for that when he in remainder for life entreth it seemeth that he shall have the corn for he hath right to the possession and the corn are growing upon the soile and by consequence are belonging to the owner of the soile but it hath been said that here there was no trespasse done to him in remainder and for that he shall never have the corn Sir as to that I say if an Abator after the death of the Ancestor enter and sowe the land Abator soweth and after the right heire enter in this case the heire shall have the corn and yet no trespasse was made to him and it hath been adjudged in this Court where a man devised land sowed to one for life and after his decease the remainder to another for life and the first Tenant entred and dyed before severance and he in remainder entred that there he in remainder shall have the corn and by consequence the same Law shall be in our case Godfrey è contra and he argued that the Lessee for yeers Devise of land sowne of the first Lessee for life

shall have the corn for if Lessee for life leaseth for years and this Lessee for yeers sowe the land and the Lessee for life dye now the Lessee for yeers shall have the corn by reason of his right to the land at the time of his sowing and never lawfully devested by any Act done by himself and he denyed the cases put by Mr. Tanfield and so concluded Gawdie The lessee for yeers of the Tenant for life shall have the corn and he denyed some of the cases put by Mr. Tanfield for in the case where Tenant for life sowes the land and after assigns over his esttae now if Tenant for life dye the Assigne shall have the corn as well as the Executors of the Tenant for life if he had not assigned over his estate But I agree the case of the devise for life of land sowed with the remainder for life for there he in remainder shall have them and the laches of the not entry of the Lessee for yeers shall not prejudice him Lessee for years ousted for it appeareth by 19. H. 6. if Lessee for yeers of Tenant for life be ousted and after the Tenant for life dye yet the Lessee for yeers shall have trespasse with a continuando for all the mean profits The which proves that they belong to him so is it in 38. H. 6. Lessee at wil ousted If Lessee at will be ousted and after the Lessor dye now the Lessee shall have a trespasse with a continuando without regress for when he may not enter Regress the law supplyeth it and the mean profits do belong to him And by consequence in this case the corn belongeth to the Lessee for yeers Ground let for life after sowing of the Tenant for life Popham Sir Henry Knevit shall not have the Corn for if a man lease for life ground which is sown and the Lessee dye now the Lessor shall have the Corn and not the Executors of the Lessee for life And he agreed with Mr. Tanfeild in the case of the Assignee of Tenant for life of ground sowed and the Tenant for life dye that he in Reversion shall have the Corn Disseisor sow the land of tenant for life And if a Disseisor sow the land of Tenant for life and the Tenant for life dye now the Executors of the Tenant for life shall have the Corn and not the Disseisor nor he in Reversion and by consequence the Lessee for years of the first Lessee for life in this case Fenner was of the same opinion and after it was adjudged that Knevit should have the land and that Poole should have the Corn because of his possession 61. RAme sued a Prohibition against Patteson Prohibition for Dotards and the question was if Trees which are above the age of twenty years become rotten and are cut down for fuell shall pay Tyths or not and the opinion of the Court was that they shall not for Tythes are payable for an increase and not for a decrease and being once privileged in regard of hie nature this privilege shall not be lost in regard of his decrepitage 62. PArtridge brought an Action of Debt against Naylor upon the Statute of 1 2 P. M. 12. Empounding For taking of a Distress in one County and driving it into another and the case was that three men distreined a flock of Sheep and them impounded in severall places and if every of them shall forfeit a hundred shillings severally or but all together a hundred shillings Common place The Court was divided for the words of the Statute is that every person so offending shall forfeit to the party grieved for every such offence a hundred shillings and treble damages but Walmisley thought that every one should forfeit a hundred shillings and he put a difference between person and party for many persons may make but one party 63. BY Popham chief Justice of England by the Statute of 28 Ed. 3. cap. 10. Fine for Error in inferior Courts Erroneous Judgement in London was a forfeiture of their Liberties but after that by the Statute of 1 Hen 4. cap. 15. this was mitigated and was made finable as in Chester if they give an erroneous Judgement they shall forfeit an hundred pound for these inferior Courts which have peculiar Jurisdictions ought to do justly for if these Courts shall not be restrained with penalties Justice will be neglected and before the Statute of 28 Ed. 3. those of London might not reform Errors in London 64. NOta per Doctor Amias in the Lord Souch his case Caveat if a Church become voyd and a stranger enters a Caveat with the Register of the Bishop that none be instituted to that Church untill he be made privy thereunto and the Bishop before that he have notice of the Caveat institutes an Incumbent the Institution is meerly voyd in the Spiritual Law for the Register ought to notifie the Caveat to the Bishop and his negligence in that shall not prejudice him that entered the Caveat and if the Bishop have notice of the Caveat and gives day to him that puts that in and before that day he institutes an Ineumbent this is meerly voyd for the entering of the Caveat is as a Supersedeas in our Law 65. THornton brought an Action upon an Assumpsit against Kemp Day of payment and declared that the Testator was indebted to him in ten pound and in consideration that the Plaintif would give day to the Defendant being Executor to pay that until Michaelmas he assumed to pay that in facto dicit that he hath given day and yet the Defendant hath not that payd The Defendant pleaded in bar that post praedictam assumptionem factam and before Michaelmas the Plaintif did arrest him for the same Debt and demands Judgement and upon that the Plaintif demurred Gawdy When he hath given to him day of payment usque ad Michaelmas allbeit he arrest him before that time yet if he do not receive the money before Michaelmas the consideration is performed Fenner I deny that for to what purpose is the giving of day of payment untill Michaelmas if in the mean time he may sue him Popham I agree with my brother Gawdy for insomuch that he onely forbears the payment untill Michaelmas and doth not promise to forbear to sue him the payment is forborn if the money be not received 66. SHerington ●ued a Prohibition against Fleetwood Parson de Orrell Prohibition in Com. Linc. for that that the sayd Parson libelled in the Spiritual Court for Tyths of Agistments and the now Plaintif being Defendant in the Spirituall Court pleaded that he had allwayes payd twelve pence by the year for every Milch Cow going in such a Pasture and for this payment he had been discharged of payment of Tythes for all Agistments in that land Payment for one thing shall not discharge another Popham This payment of money for Milch

if this deniall was a Conversion they prayed the discretion of the Court. Fenner I think that the deniall is a Conversion Denial is a Conversion for when I lose my goods and they come to your hands by finding and you deny to deliver them to me I shall have an Action of Trespass against you as 33. Hen. 6. is Keeping is an Administration And the very keeping of goods by an Executor shall be counted as an Administration and by the same reason the deniall here shall be counted a Conversion Gawdy I am of the same opinion for by 2 of Hen. 7. If I deliver to you Cloth to keep and you keep it negligently I shall have detinue or an Action upon the case at my pleasure and by 20 Hen. 7. if a Baker contract for Corn and the party do not deliver it at the day the party may have Debt or an Action of the case Tanfield There was a case in this Court 30 Eliz. for the finding and Conversion of a horse But here was no request made by the Plaintif to deliver the horse For which Judgement was given against the Plaintif Curia This is not like our case for the request and deniall makes all the wrong in this case Adjornatur 80. WIseman brought a Writ of Error against Baldwin Limitation upon a Judgement given in Trespass in the Common place upon a speciall Verdict which was that Baldwin was seised of 24 Acres of Land and made his Will and by the same devised his said Land to Henry his youngest Sonne when he should accomplish the age of 24 years upon Condition that he should pay 20. l. to the Daughter of the Devisor And if he shall happen to dye before his age of 24 years then he willed that Richard his eldest Sonne shall have the same Land upon Condition that he should pay to the said Daughter 20. l. And he willed further by the said Will that if both his Sonnes failed of payment of the said 20. l. to his Daughter that the said Land should remain to his Daughter And after this Devisor died and Henry his younger Son entred after the age of 24 years and did not pay the said 20. l. to the Daughter and Richard the eldest Son did enter upon him and whether his entry were lawfull or not was the question Cook Attorney said it was a meer Limitation and no Condition and by consequence the entry of the eldest Sonne is not lawfull and to prove that he cited a Case which he said was in Justice Dallisont reports 9 Eliz. where a man devised Land to his youngest Son upon Condition of payment of a certain sum of money to his Daughter as our case is The Remainder over to another of his youngest Sonns and the first Devisee entred and did not pay the money and he in Remainder took advantage of that and so in our case by the Devise Richard is to have nothing if Henry the youngest Son did not die before 24 yeares and the intent of the Devisor appears that his Daughter shall have the Land for non payment of the money And therefore if the Heir enter for the Condition broken he destroies the whole intent of the Devisor And therefore the entry of the eldest Son is not lawfull Godfery I think it is a meer Condition for so are the words And then when the word subsequent limit a Remainder to the Daughter for default of payment that is not good and he denyed the case cited out of Justice Dallison for he said he was dead long before An. 9 Eliz. Gawdy I take the case of 29 Hen. 8. 33. to be a Limitation and no Condition for there a man devised to the Prior and Covent of St. Bartholomewes Ita quod reddant decano capitulo sancti Pauli 16. l. per An. And if they failed of paiment that their estate should cease and that the Land should Remain to the said Dean and Chapter and their Successors And it seemeth there that the Dean and Chapter for non payment shall not enter But I think the contrary and I think in this case it is a Limitation and no Condition A remainder and a recovery may be created by one deed Fenner If I make a Lease for life upon Condition with Remainder over may my Heir enter for the Condition broken Godfry Yes Sir Fenner Nay truly for then he shall defeat the Remainder which is well limited by me before the which I may not do and this is the reason if I make a Lease for life upon Condition and after grant the Reversion over that before the estate the Condition was gone for that if I re-enter I shall defeat my own grant Gawdy Per 29. Ass If a man devise to one upon Condition that if he shall be a Chaplin to remain over to a Corporation and the Tenant was made Chaplin by which the Heir entred and an Assise was adjudged maintainable against him for his entry was not lawfull Clinch The intent of the Devisor appears that for default of payment the Daughter shall have the Land and therefore the Sonne shall not enter And Wilcocks case in this Court was that a man seised of a Copyhold in the nature of Burrough English surrendred that to the use of his Will and by his Will devised the Land to his eldest Sonne upon Condition that he should pay to the youngest Sonne x. l. And after for non payment the youngest Sonne entred and his entry was adjudged lawfull Gawdy Wee three are agreed that it is a Limitation and no Condition by which the first Judgement was reversed 81. PYne of Lincolns Inne brought an Assumpsit against Widow Hide as Executrix of her Husband Assumpsit of the testator and declared that the Testator in Consideration that the Plaintif had leased to him certain copyhold-Copyhold-land he assumed to pay to him 100. l. And the Defendant demurred in Law for that the Action is not maintainable against any Executor upon an Assumption of the Testator Popham For the Contrariety of opinion in this Case between the Judges of the Common-place and us we will make it an Exchequer-Chamber case and so try the Law 82. ONe Jackson prayed a Prohibition Prohibition for a Parsons lease and shewed for his Cause th● the Parson sued him in the spirituall Court for tithes And ho wt the Statute of 13 El. cap. 20. c.

a Grantee of a Reversion for years be within the Statute or not Gawdy Well enough For the words of the Statute extend to that quod fuit concessum Then it was moved that this was a meer collaterall Covenant between the persons and not concerning the estate of the land and for that not within the Statute Popham sayd Covenant reall which concerneth the estate If nothing be sayd to the contrary intretur Judicium for the Plaintiff afterwards the case was moved again Gawdie It seems the case is Assigne which in regard of his reversion as of a Covenant may well maintain this action by the Statute of 32. Fenner This Covenant is not any Covenant to be performed during the estate or terme of the Defendant but it is a Covenant to doe a thing in the end of his term and for that is not a Covenant of which the Assignee of the reversion shall have benefit by the Statute for that he hath not any reversion depending upon any estate when the Covenant is alledged to be broken for the Defendant when he breaks that Covenant is but Tenant at sufferance Gawdie contra the Covenant is not to doe a thing after the terme determined but at the instant of the determination of the term and therfore it is a Covenant annexed to the State and runnes with the Land and therefore the Plaintiff shall have advantage over it 110. TRespasse and assault was brought against one Sims by the Husband and the Wife for beating of the woman A Child born living but bruised Cook the case is such as appears by examination A man beats a woman which is great with child and after the child is born living but hath signes and bruises in his body received by the said batterie and after dyed thereof I say that this is murder Fenner Popham absentibus cateris cleerly of the same opinion and the difference is where the child is born dead and where it is born living for if it be dead born it is no murder for non constat whether the child were living at the time of the batterie or not or if the batterie was the cause of the death but when it is born living and the wounds appeare in his body and then he dye the Batteror shal be arraigned of murder for now it may be proved whether these wounds were the cause of the death or not and for that if it be found he shall be condemned 111. GOodale against Wyat in trepasse The speciall verdict found that Sr John Pagginton was seised of the land in question in Fee Mortgage and morgaged it to one Woodliff upon condition that if he or his Heires did pay to the Heires Executors or Administrators of the said W. within one yeer after the death of the said Woodliff 50 l. That then the said deed of Feoffment and the Seisin thereupon given should be void and afterwards Woodliff infeoffed Goodale of the same land and gave notice of the said Feoffment to Sr J. P. and after Woodliff dyed and Sir J. agreed with the heir of W. to wit one Drew Woodliff to take 30 l. for the said 50 l. but when the 30 l. was to be paid Sir J. paid to the said Drew VV. all the fifty pounds and after such payment made Drew VV. gave back to the said Sr. J. 20 l. parcel of the 50 l. Altam 2. points are in the case The first is to whom the payment of the money as this case is ought to be made and I think to the Feoffee because the Heir hath nothing to do in the land and to prove that he cited fundamenta legum 17. Ass 2. 6. R. 2. Plesingtons case and the case of one Ramsey 19. Eliz. was such a man infeoffed three Ramseys case upon condition that if the Feoffor paid to them or their heires 100 l. that then he might re-enter and after one of the Feoffees dyed and the Feoffor tendred the money to his Heir and adjudged a void tender And also Littleton proves that but tif the condition might be performed to the Heirby payment that ought to be precisely performed for he is now as a stranger having nothing in the land and the Covin between the Feoffor and the Heir must not hurt my Olient for by 4. E. 2. c●i in vita 22. If cui in vita be brought against a Prior and hanging the action he is deposed by Covin this shal not abate the Writ and it was adjudged in this Court where a man was bound by Obligation to deliver a bond and after he got a judgement upon it and then delivered the bond and holden no performance of the condition because the intent was not performed and 20. E. 3. accompt 29. in accompt the Defendant pleaded a Deed whereby the Plaintiff granted that if the Defendant made a Recognisance to him that then the Writ of accompt shall be made void and he shewed how he made a Recognisance But the Plaintiff said that after the making and before deliverie of that to him Composition by Executors the Defendant took it from the Clerk and therefore was adjudged to accompt Precisely named and by 18. E. 4. 20. If a man be bound to license another to carrie a 100. Oakes if he do license him and then disturb him the condition is broken and the common case of Executors will prove this for if an Executor have but 20 l. assets in his hands and is in debt to two men in 20. l. to either of them if he pay but 10 l. to the one and have an acquittance of him for the whole debt of 20 l. yet the other 10. l. that remains in his hands shall be assets to the other for no compacting between strangers shall prejudice my right per quo c. Payment upon a m●rgage good to the Executorrs cleelry Gawdy I think cleerly if the payment had been intirely made to the Heir without collusion it had been good for that he is preisely named for none will deny but that if the payment had been made to the Executors it had been good but the Covin between the Heir and the Feoffor peradventure will make no payment Father enfeoff the son and for that 34. E. 1. Warrantie 88. If the father infeoff the Son to the intent that this land shall not be assets to the Sonne to bar him in a Formdone this Covin will not serve to aid him Covin by administration and 2 3 Mar. the Husband dyed intestate and administration was committed to the wife which tooke another husband and the second husband and his wife as Administrators brought an action of Debt hanging which suit the Sonne of the intestate by fraud and covin between him and a Debtor obtained other letters of Administration to him and the woman joyntly and after judgement the sonne by covin to defeat the execution released to the Debtor all demands and executions and after the Husband and

second point he said they were Joyntenants and not Tenants in common Consideration but if the wordes of the Will had been Part and part like that they shall have part and part alike there they are Tenants in common and not Joyntenants Tanfield è contra For if they were Joyntenants for life Reversion descendeth to a Joyntenant and the reversion descend to one of them that will never drown the estate for life for the benefit of the Survivor And if a man give land to two men for their lives the Remainder to the right heires of one of them yet they are Joyntenants and the Survivor shall hold place and albeit the words are equally between them yet this shall be intended equally during their estate and it hath been taken for a difference if I devise my land to two equally divided between them there they are immediately Tenants in common and not Joyntenants but if the words had been equally to be divided between them there they are Joyntenants untill division be made for that that it is referred to a future time Gawdy Justice I think they have but estates for life for consideration of blood is not so effectuall as consideration of money Blood Money Difference for if I bargain and sell my land for money without expressing any estate the Bargainee hath a Fee simple but if in consideration of naturall affection I covenant to stand seised to the use of my son and do not express any estate there my son is but Tenant for life and for the second point I think they are Tenants in common and not Joyntenants for the case is no other but as if he had said I give my land to my children by moities amongst them By moities and then there had been no question but that they had been Tenants in common Popham Clinch For the first point no estate but for life passeth if any estate pass for it is doubtfull if any estate pass or not for the Will is that after his debts paid Only Lands lyable he giveth all his lands goods and moveables c. And therefore Popham thought that such Lands which were liable to Debts should pass A Term. and no other For if the Devisor had had a Term then it seemeth no Land should pass But admit the Land do pass then if I devise Land to two equally divided between them they are Tenants in Common But if I devise Land to two equally to be divided between them by I. S. now untill Division they are Joyntenants So I think where the Devise is equally to be divided between them that they are Joyntenants quousque Division because of the reference future 142. IOhn Cole made a Lease for years to one Taunton Devise is a demise Hil. 36 ●liz rot 376. upon Condition that if the Lessee shall demise the Premises or any part of it other than for a year to any person or persons then the Lessor and his Heirs may re-enter the Lessee after devised it by his Will to his son Popham Gawdy Fenner It is a breach of the Condition and the case of 31 Hen. 8. 45. ruleth the Law in this case for a Devise is taken for a breach of the Condition v. 27 Hen. 8. 10. Quaere if he might not have suffered it to come to his son as Executor 123. A Man seised of a Wood granted to another a Hundred Cords of Wood to be taken by Assignment of the Grantor Grant before property vested and before Assignment the Grantee granted that over and whether this Grant be good or not being before Election was the question And the better opinion was that it is not grantable over for no property was Vested in him before the Assignment and if the Grantor die before Assignment the Grant is void and his Executors if he die shall not have it 124. BRewster brought Error against Bewty upon a Judgement given in the Common place in a Replevin A Jur●rs name in the distringing mistaken and it was Assigned for Error for that that Kidman was retorned in the Venire fac and Bidman was retorned in the Distringas habeas corpora Tanfield said it was apparent Error and to prove that he cited Parkers case where in an appeal Palus was retorned in the Venire fac and Faulus was in the Habeas corpora and Paulus was sworn and therefore Error And between Cobb and Paston a Juror was named Hantstrong in the Venire fac and Hartstrong in the Distr and adjudged ill Cook said that it might not be amended And to prove that he cited 9 Edw. 4. 14. 27 Hen. 65. where it is said no Amendment after Judgement for thereby the Attaint of the party shall be tolled and in a case between Crosby and Wilbet George Thompson was retorned in the Venire fac and Gregory Thomson was in the Distr and could not be amended after Judgement Gawdy It is hard to amend the Distr for the Book of 27. Hen. 6. is that it shall not be amended for the Distr is the Awarding of the Court and for that he cited 14 Hen. 6. 39. where a Juror was retorned by the name of Hodd and in the Habeas Corpora was named Lord and when the default was espied they awarded a new Habeas Corpora But in the Book of 22. Hen. 6. 12. the Sherifs retorn was amended but not the Writ And 34 Hen. 6. 20. The Prior of St. Bartholomews case where in the Fenire fac there were 24 retorned and in the Habeas Corpora but 23. and so a Juror omited and holden that it could not be amended But after the opinion of the Justices of England was that it should be amended insomuch that it appears by examination the same party in the Venire was sworn and so no damages to any 125. PAnnell brought Trespass against Fenn Devise to execute And the case was such that a man was Possessed of a Term and made M. his Wife and G. Fenn his Executors and devised all his Term to them and that they shall have the Term untill all his Debts and Legacies were paid and all such charges in suit of Law as they should expend the Remainder to John Fenn in tail the question was whether the Executors take as Devisees or as Executors Gawdy said if they take as Devisees then if the one of them grant all the Term no more but the Moity passeth and then the Grantee and the other Executors shall be Tenants in Common But if they take as Executors then when one Granteth the Term all passeth as 29 Hen. 8. is Clinch Fenner said they shall take as Executors for it is the proper function of an Executor to entermedle with the Will Gawdy If I make two my Executors Proper benefit and devise the profits of my Land to them untill my Debts and Legacies be paid and untill they have levyed 100. l. after that to their own use I
