For which matters and other causes aparant in the said bill the said defendant saith that the same bill and the matters conteyned in the same be insufficient in the lawe to be aunswered vnto And that he is not compellable nor ought by the lawe to be compelled to make any further aunswere to the same and demurreth in lawe vpon the same and prayeth to be dismissed out of this honorable Court without any further aunswere to be made thereunto And if this Court will not nor do admit this demurrer but the same notwithstanding will compell the said defendant to make further aunswere to the said bill as otherwise then by compulsatorie order of this Court the said defendant clayming the aduantage of the lawes of this realme whereby he ought to be tryed doth not nor will make any further or other aunswere to the same then the saide defendant after such order made by this Court to make further answere saith that the said I.

G. Ge. A bill containing that the plaintife by bargaine and sale by feoffement and fine bought one mese c. in fee and that diuers euidences concerning the premisses are casually come to the plaintifes hands and that by cullour thereof the plaintife hath entred into parcell of the premisses and expulsed the plaintife from the possession thereof and wrongfully keepeth the same To the Right Ho. and the reuerend Father in God Stephen Bishop of Winchester COmplayning sheweth vnto your ho. Lo. your Orator H. S. Esquier Sect. 179. that where one I. W. of C. in the County of C. was seised in his demesne as of fee of in one mese one gardeÌ„ one orchard 60. acres of land meadow wood and pasture with the appurtenances in W. called W. in the Countie of C. and the said I. W. and his ancestors whose heire he is did coÌ„tinue peaceable possession of the premisses by the space of 100. yeares and aboue and the said I. W. so being thereof seised for certeine great summes of money to the said I. W. by your said Orator coÌ„tented paid did bargaine sell the premisses vnto your said Orator his heires to the proper vse of your said Orator of his said heires for euer and thereupon did by his deede sufficient in the lawe giue grant confirme yâ— premisses vnto your said Orator his heires for euer And for a further assurance thereof to be had vnto your said Orator and his heires the said I. W. before the Iustice of yâ— said County of C. did leuie a fine sur conusance de droit of the said mese lands and tenements vnto your said Orator and by by the same fine the said I.
