the Son is privy also in blood but not in estate for although the possession of the same land came to him by discent as heir to his father yet he was therein remitted forthwith to his former estate 3 And a third kind of privitie in blood tantum is where a man in some respect is privy in blood and estate and in another respect privy in blood tantum As for example if there be two brothers and the eldest purchaseth lands in Fee is thereof disseised by his younger brother afterward disseised by a stranger and that stranger dyeth thereof seised the younger brother being within age and afterwards the elder brother dyeth without issue the younger Son hath two manner of rights to the land the one is a right of entry against such heir as is in by discent during his minority but that right is only in respect of his former possession which he obtained by disseisen and not as heir to his brother and in this respect he is privy in blood to his eldest brother but not privy in estate The other right that is now in the younger brother is only a right in action and not a right of entry and this is in him as heir to his brother whose entry was taken away by the said discent in respect of his right he is privy in blood and estate to his brother Privity in estate tantum is where a man claimeth an estate in land as assignee to another as if A infeoffe B. in this case B. and his heirs are privy in estate to A. Privity in blood and in estates are of two sorts whereof the one may properly be called a privity of blood and estate the other is so called improperly and in a borrowed sence That which is properly called a privity in blood and estate is when both privities do acrew by discent by or from one Ancestor The other is when one of them acreweth by one manner of title and the other by title of another kind as for example if there be a father and a son and the father purchaseth lands and dyeth thereof seised and the same doth descend to his Son he is to his father in a proper sence privy in blood and estate because both those privities doe to him acrew by one discent from one Ancestor It is to be noted that such privies as the Statute meaneth are after the ingrossing of the Fine Proclam made according to the form of the Statute absolutely barred without hope of recovery or restraint by any claim but such as are strangers are barred only conditionally if they or their heirs do not claim according to the form of the Statute within the times therein prescribed It is a rule in Law that no error in the fault of the Judge can be assigned to reverse a Judgement unless it may be tryed by view of the Record or by inspection of the person for if it should many grave Judgements would be overthrown by corrupt tryals of false surmises to the subversion of Justice and maintenance of Vice But if the Judge give Judgement for the one party upon the matter appearing of record whereas he ought to give judgement for the other party this is reversible by error because such a fault of the Judge through ignorance of the Law is apparent by the view of the Record What persons may be Cognisors in Fines and what not AN Infant ought not to be Cognisor especially if it be a Feme covert for that she cannot reverse it during the coverture which continuing till she come to full age barreth her for ever 50 E. 3. fo 5. 21.

Also no feme covert ought to levy any Fine without her husband is avoidable by the entry of him yet since a Fine levyed at this day and proclamation according to the form of the said estate of 4 H. 7. 31 Eliz. cannot be avoided by the entry of the Husband of the Cognisor as to the estate of inheritance but only to the frank tenement during the Coverture and so long afterwards as he shall be tenant by the curtesie if he had issue by his said Wife before the Fine levyed And in that case albeit the Husband do enter in 5 years or before Proclamations had and made the feme and her heirs are barred as privies to the Fine the words of the said Statute of 4 H. 7. be the Fine to be a final end and conclude as well privies as strangers and yet all strangers shall not be barred by such Fine The King is no such stranger as is comprised in the the said Act for if the Law-makers had meant to conclude the King thereby of his right then it is not to be doubted his greatness being such as it could not be forgotten but they would have made some provision for his claim which thing they have not done because they never intended to conclude him but others being bodies corporate of things that goe by way of succession are comprised in this word strangers in the body of the Act. And yet they are not contained in the letter of exception or of any of the savings which do save râ—ghts to men and their heirs speaking nothing of Corporations or successions or of any thing in succession He which intrudeth upon the Kings possession ought not to be Cognisor for his Fine is void for by his entrie upon the King after office and before livery sued he gaineth no freehold 1 H. 7. fo 9. 24 E. 3. f. 65 but if the Fine be levyed without intrusion it bindeth the Cognisor and his heirs if the Husband levies a Fine of his wives land without her it is void 32 H. 8. c. 28.

T. an able Practioner and others LONDON Printed by F. L. for Tho. Firby and are to be sold at his Shop near Grays-Inn Gate 1656. To the Reader Reader THis Treatise was at first intended only for Private use but having been perused by some Eminent Practizers of the Law and Commended by them to be of Publique benefit and concernment I have adventured with their advice to present it to thee in Print I hope thou wilt reap so much benefit by it as will at least deserve thy acceptance However pass favourably by what Errors thou findest and thou shalt in as great a matter oblige both the Printer and Thy Friend I. B. The Definition of a Fine IT appeareth by many Writers of the Common-law That a Fine is nothing but a friendly composition or final concord had between persons of and concerning any lands or tenements rent or other thing hereditable being in esse tempore finis acknowledged and recorded formerly by the consent and license of the King now of the Lord Protector or his Justices before a competent Judge to the end to cut off all controversies that neither of the parties litigant from it may after depart And therefore well may it be said to be fructus exitus finis legis Plo. fol. 357. If we but consider that the Law was made to no other end than to settle peace In every Fine there are two several parties the Cognisor and the Cognisee the party levying the Fine is called the Cognisor and he to whom it is levyed is called the Cognisee There are five essential parts in a Fine first the original writ taken out against the Cognisor the Kings licence formerly so called giving the parties liberty to accord for which he had a Fine called the Kings silver being accounted a part the Crowns revenue Thirdly the Concord it self which thus beginneth Et est concordia talis c. Fourthly the note of the Fine which is an abstract of the original concord and beginneth thus ss inter R. quaerentem S. E. Uxorem ejus desorcientes c. Fifthly the foot of the Fine which beginneth in this manner Haec est finalis concordia facta in curia Domini Protectoris apud Westm a die Pasche in quindecim dies anno c. so that the foot of the Fine includeth all containing the day year and place and before what Justices the Concord was made Coke v. 6. cas Teye fo 3 8 39. There are two sorts of Fines the one at Common Law the other levied and proclaimed according to the Statute 1 R. 3. cap. 7. 4 H. 7. cap. 24. 32. 14. 8. cap. 36. In the levying and proclaiming of a Fine two several Statutes are chiefly to be considered the one of them is the Statute of 1 R. 3. chap. 7. The other is the Statute of 4 H. 7. chap. 24. being in some thing afterwards explained by a Statute made in Anno 32. H. 8. chap. 36. The Proclamations are four and are to be made four several Terms as hereafter shall be expressed Concerning Fines with Proclamations 5 things are to be observed 1 The time of levying proclaiming the same 2 The place where and before whom it is to be levyed 4 What Ceremonies therein are to be observed 5 the several times are to be observed and considered First that the Fine be levyed afâ—er the Feast of Easter which was in the year of our Lord 1496. for all Fines levyed before that time are out of the compass of this Statute 4 H. 7. as it appeateth by the letter of the same Statute 2 That the Proclamation must be made in time of the Term and therefore if any of those proclamations doe happen to be made either before the beginning or after the end of any Term or on a Sunday or other festival day exempted from the Term as on the Feast day of the Purification of St. Mary the Virgin Ascention day All Saints All Soules or on the Feast day of St. Iohn Baptist if it happen on any other day than on the Friday next after Trinity Sunday and to be recorded accordingly then if it be not holpen by the Statute of 23. Eliz. cap. 3. all the Proclamations are reversable by a Writ of error or by plea as it appeareth in Finches case Plow com 266 267. and then the Fine will be of no other nature and force than a Fine without proclamations And albeit the Proclamations were all made within the Terms according to the form of the Statute yet if the record or records do purport the contrary they are reversable by error or avoidable by plea if it be not holpen by the said Statute for a record is of that credit in law that no averment may be admitted to the contrary A Fine doth for ever conclude and bar as well privies as strangers to the same except such strangers as are women covert other than be parties to the Fine and every other person being within age viz. the age of 21 years in Prison or out of this Realm or not of whole mind at the time of such Fine levied But this exception is conditional viz. that they or their heirs inheritable to the same lands c. do take their action or lawfull entry according to their right and title they have to the Tenements therein contained at time of the ingrossing thereof within 5 years next after they be of full age of 21 years out of prison uncovert within this Realm and of whole mind Now let us see who are privies and who are strangers to a Fine according to the Statute there are three privities only 1 privity in blood only 2 privity in Estate only 3 privity in blood and estate There are three kinds of privities 1 in blood tantum 1 one when a man is heir to his late Ancestor and yet hath nothing by discent from him As for example if a father seised of lands in Fee doth thereof infeoffe a stranger and his heirs or if he by his last Will and Test in writing did dispose the same being holden in soccage to another in Fee and hath issue and dyeth in this case such issue is privy in blood having nothing by discent 2 Another kind of privity in blood is when something is descended unto him as heir unto his Ancestor and yet he claimeth the same by some other right and not as heir to such an Ancestor As for example if there be a Father and Son and the Son purchaseth lands of a stranger in Fee and is there of disseised by his Father who dyeth thereof seised the same descend to his Son aâ— heir in this case
