That he claimes not as Cosin and Heir but makes Title under him by conveyance afterwards Also because the Defendant makes Conuzance and is a stranger Secondly if it be but forme And this Case was argued at Bench briefly in Trin. 16. And I was of opinion because that this is the Conuzance of a Bayliff and it is a discent in one blood to which Dinham is a stranger and because that a good Issue might be taken therupon as it is alledged And if it had been a case of Bastardy the Iury might have tryell it therfore it is good by the Common Law and differs from a Formedon for there he which brings it is privy vide 41 Eliz. 13 14 in a Scire facias good without shewing how 33 H. 6. 34.

Drury versus Fitch Case DRury an Attorney of this Court brought an action upon the case against Fitch one of the Serjeants of London for saying I arrest thee for Felony and after not guilty pleaded the Plaintiff was Non-suited Costs upon Non-suit where the Plaintiff hath no cause of action And now it was moved that no costs should be given to the Defendant because that the words will not beare action and therfore Iudgment shall be given Quod nil capiat per billam And they vouched one President in Grewstons case in Ban. Reg. vide that now by the last Statute costs shall be given to the Defendant in all cases where the Plaintiff should have costs if he recover but in such case where the Plaintiff if he recover shall not have costs the Defendant upon the Non-suit of the Plaintiff shall not have costs But it seemed to Lord Hobart that in this case the costs are for vexation and this is more vexation if he had no cause of action vide 29 H 8. fol 32. It is there resolved that an action lies for the costs notwithstanding a Writ of Error brought And the last day of this Term the Court was of opinion that the action lies for the words for it is more then these I charge thee with Felony and if the Action lies not yet the Defendant shall have costs for it was such an Action in which the Plaintiff ought to have costs if he recover Vpon motion in Court by the direction of Iustice Warburton who had caused a Iury to be drawn by reason of the slendernesse of the matter and for avoiding the charge of a speciall Verdict the Case was A Copyholder was a Lunatick and the Lord committed the custody of his Land to one which brought an Action of Trespasse Action brought by the Committee of a Lunatick which is a Copyholder and whether it ought to be brought by him or by the Lunatick was the question And the opinion of the Court was that the Committee was but as Bayliff and hath no Interest but for the profit and benefit of the Lunatick and is as his Servant and it is contrary to the nature of his Authority to have an Action in his own name for the interest and the Estate and all power of Suits is remaining in the Lunatick And it was ruled in this Court that a Lunatick shall have a Quare impedit in his own name vide Beverlies case Coke lib 4. the diversity between a Lunatick and an Ideot and H 8.

And upon Not guilty pleaded it was tryed before the Lord chief Baron at York for the Bail are supposed to be taken at Wakefield but that was not alledged for any thing which appears to be out of their Iurisdiction And the Iury contrary to the direction of the Lord chief Baron gave Verdict for the Plaintiff And after many motions in Arrest and praying of Iudgment it was resolved that this act was done by them as Iudges and for this Iudiciall Act no action lay And though that the Bail by the event appear to be insufficient yet there is no remedy by action upon the case it being without fraud or corruption and not for reward And this Case differs nothing from the ordinary cases of all insufficient Bailes taken by any of the Kings-Bench Common Bench or Exchequer And that they having two Authorities in una persona it shall be taken to be done by that Authority by which they have power to vail and that is as Iudges of the Court and not as Gaolers for by this they have no power to Bail any and in this capacity they are only subject to an escape vide Dyer 163.

But of the other part it was proved that this Land had continued in exchange as the Land of H 8. all his life by divers accounts and that it had been enjoyed by divers Leâses made by Edward 6. and Queen Elizabeth and Rent paid for them And that in the year 16 Eliz. she granted it in Fee-farm to the Earl of Lincoln and under that Title the Land had been quietly enjoyed untill of late time And the Court delivered their opinion That it there were a Deed by which Stockwood conveyed the Land to H 8 and that brought into the Court of Augmentation although this Deed be not found nor inrolled yet it is a sufficient Record to intitle the King and it is a Record by being brought into Court and there received to be inrolled And the Report of the case in Lord Dyeâ— fol 355.19 Eliz. was not as it is there reported for it was for Bormiâ— Inne and it was adjudged a good conveyance and in this case the Iury found for the Defendant Trin. 14 Jac.

He that shall take any Woman so against her will And it was said that it were a great inconvenience that it shall be Felony to take an Heir apparent of a poor man or to take a Woman which hath but a very small Portion and of mean Parentage and as it was said of a Woman in a red Peticote and that it shall not be felony to do and commit the said Offence in taking the Daughter of an Earl or some other great man of the Realm But it was resolved that the body of the Act was incorporated to the Preamble for it had been adjudged that if one take a Woman with an intent to marry her or deflower her c. and doth it not this is not Felony and this rests only upon the Preamble then it shall have relation as well to such a Woman which is before named viz. Maid Widow or Wife having substance and to an Heir apparent and to no other And so it was taken in a Case in the Star-Chamber by the like resolution 10 Jac. between Baker and Hall and the Lord chief Baron said Baker and Hall that it had been adjudged that no Appeal did lye upon this Statute and all the Presidents in effect warrant this resolution vide Stamford fol. 37.

And because that in this case the said Edward Griffin and his Wife are to have benefit they ought to require them to nominate the summ But because it appears to the Court that this Action is founded upon a Contract in Law therfore it ought to be brought in Surrey as it was agreed in Ungle and Glovers case An 36 Eliz vide Coke lib 3. fol 23. Nota that the Iudgment is speciall for this cause and no costs upon the Statute of 23 H 8. for the Defendant for the Statute saies that upon a Contract made by the Plaintiff the Defendant shall have costs and yet upon this Statute if the Executor be non-suited or Verdict given against him he shall not pay costs Where costs shall not be against Executors by common experience alwaies after the Statute and yet he shall have costs if he recover And in this case the Plaintiff shall have costs if he recover and yet it seems upon this Iudgment the Defendant shall not have costs against him and especially because that they are expresse words in the Statute that the Defendant shall have costs after Non-suit or lawfull tryall against the Plaintiff and here is neither Non-suit nor lawfull tryall vide Statute 4 Jac cap. 3. seems to be full in all cases where the Plaintiff shall have his costs upon Non-suit or when the Verdict passe against him the Defendant shall have costs yet it hath been taken that it shall be intended in actions of Debt upon the Contract of the Plaintiff himself for Executors neither upon Verdict nor upon Non-suit shall pay any costs because that their actions are brought upon Debts or Contracts not made between them and the Defendants vide the Statute of Glocester cap 1. that where a man recover damages there also he shall have costs Hickson versus Hickson HIckson Demandant in Dower against Hickson They are at issue the Tenant offer to be essoined upon the Venire facias and for want of the Adjornment therof by the Demandant Essoin shall not be allowed in Dower the Tenant had procured a Non-suit and yet the

And upon Argument at Bar and conference had we all declared our opinion and agreed that Iudgment should be given for the Defendants The first reason was that the Issue is joyned upon the Grant modo forma and not upon the day as is offered by the Traverse but upon the Grant modo forma And the matter found is generally as is alledged vide Littleton Title Release that modo forma avoid and prevent the matter of day and goes solely to that which is materiall And by any thing which appears by the Verdict there is no intervening matter after the third day and before the seventh when the Deed was enrolled and then it is a good Grant of the third of June vide H 7 31.

Blackamores case The Proclamation made and entred before the Originall shall be amended And it was objected that this Fine and Proclamations as they found in the Office of the Custos brevium are exemplified under the Great Seal and therfore by a Clause in the Statute of 23 Eliz cap. 3. could not be amended after such exemplification To that it was answered that that Statute extends only to Fines before levied which should be exemplified before the first day of June An 1582.

Because that it is not alledged that there was any Colloquium concerning his Office of Town-Clark 2. Because that it appears not in the Count that the making of Certificates belong to his Office but only that he had the custody of them 3.

the Award of Costs were in full force and effect But that afterwards viz. such a time as well the said Iudgment de non pros as the said Iudgment of thirty pounds Debt against the now Plaintiff were evacuated wherupon the Defendant demurred And it having been often debated by Hitcham for the Defendant and Henden for the Plaintiff And now upon Oyer of the Record and of the Iudgment the Court gave Iudgment for the Plaintiff And the Lord Finch said that this action upon the case is grounded upon two misdemeanours 1. The procurement of the said Iudgment for Edw.

The taking therof unlawfully when the first Iudgment de non pros was in force and the Plea of Nil tiel Record go only to one of the Causes And admitting that there was never a Iudgment de non pros but that the Defendant had unlawfully procured a Iudgment and taken Execution therupon and procured the Plaintiff to be taken in Execution and Imprisoned this is cause of action And to that he hath not answered and therfore he ought to have pleaded Not guilty to that which he takes by protestation Iudgment pro quaerente Pasch 11 Car.

The Defendant as to the force c. and to all besides the Entry plead Not guilty And as to his entry into the Court and Kitchin A Warrant to four and two of them execute it and the Tenements aforesaid of the new Assignment he plead that he had brought an action against a woman for Trespasse and had so proceeded that he recovered and had execution directed to the Sheriff of Somersetshire and therupon a Warrant directed to four speciall Bayliffs to arrest the said Woman and two of them at Minehead in the County of Somersetshire arrested her and carried her to the house of the Plaintiff in Minehead being a Common Inn and the Defendant entred into the said houses called the Entry and Kitchin and the Tenements aforesaid of the new Assignment to speak to the Bayliffs and to warn them to keep her safe And as soon as he could he returned wherupon the Plaintiff demurred And now Henden took two Exceptions the first was 1. That the Defendant had not pleaded to all the Closes but that was over-ruled for he justified in the tenements aforesaid of the new Assignment 2. The second was that the Warrant to the Bayliffs was to all and not Conjunctim and Divisim and therfore it should be by all and not by two only To that it was answered and resolved that when a Sheriff makes such a Warrant which is for the Execution of Iustice that may be by any of them for it is Pro bono publico And the very Case was adjudged 45 Eliz between King Hebbs Coke Littleton 181. b.
