my_o case_n and_o in_o my_o opinion_n i_o think_v they_o shall_v be_v bar_v for_o the_o cause_n and_o reason_n follow_v first_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o sewer_n be_v that_o such_o a_o decree_n shall_v bind_v all_o and_o every_o person_n and_o person_n that_o at_o the_o make_n of_o the_o same_o decree_n have_v any_o interest_n in_o such_o land_n tenement_n &_o hereditament_n in_o uso_n possession_n remainder_n or_o reversion_n their_o heir_n and_o assign_v so_o that_o by_o express_a word_n it_o bind_v the_o heir_n and_o it_o will_v have_v bind_v the_o heir_n of_o a_o tenant_n in_o fee_n simple_a without_o the_o word_n heir_n express_v in_o the_o statute_n therefore_o the_o word_n heir_n need_v not_o but_o only_o for_o the_o bind_n of_o the_o heir_n in_o tail_n also_o if_o these_o land_n be_v charge_v by_o prescription_n as_o many_o land_n be_v than_o be_v the_o land_n original_o bind_v and_o the_o heir_n in_o tail_n stand_v charge_v with_o these_o sess_v as_o well_o as_o land_n in_o fee_n simple_a and_o last_o this_o be_v a_o law_n enact_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o commonweal_n and_o be_v more_o to_o be_v favour_v then_o particular_a estate_n of_o

subject_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o heir_n in_o tail_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o these_o case_n of_o sale_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o be_v within_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n videlicet_fw-la heir_n general_o put_v which_o extend_v to_o heir_n in_o tail_n as_o well_o as_o to_o heir_n in_o fee_n simple_a and_o because_o the_o sesse_v and_o charge_n shall_v bind_v both_o alike_o so_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o sale_n shall_v bind_v both_o in_o regard_n the_o sale_n depend_v upon_o the_o charge_n and_o sesse_v if_o a_o prebend_n parson_n or_o vicar_n dean_n

in_o the_o disseisin_n than_o what_o alteration_n this_o release_n will_v work_v in_o my_o case_n be_v the_o next_o question_n it_o be_v true_a as_o mr._n littelton_n say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v

the_o disseisor_n i_o suppose_v this_o release_n shall_v inure_v to_o both_o because_o the_o lessee_n for_o year_n who_o estate_n shall_v be_v strengthen_v by_o this_o release_n be_v in_o by_o the_o

their_o entry_n be_v unlawful_a yet_o because_o they_o come_v in_o by_o admittance_n which_o be_v at_o the_o door_n of_o justice_n i_o suppose_v therefore_o that_o if_o a_o release_n be_v make_v to_o

reason_n wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o that_o commissioner_n of_o sewer_n have_v a_o court_n be_v because_o the_o commission_n of_o sewer_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o ancient_a and_o renown_a court_n of_o oyer_n and_o terminer_n which_o be_v and_o be_v a_o court_n of_o great_a esteem_n power_n and_o authority_n and_o so_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o erect_v a_o new_a court_n in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o erect_v and_o find_v the_o court_n of_o ward_n and_o first_o fruit_n the_o first_o will_v else_o have_v remain_v in_o the_o chancery_n to_o the_o which_o primary_o it_o do_v belong_v and_o the_o other_o be_v a_o new_a revenue_n and_o want_v a_o court_n to_o direct_v or_o
case_n and_o so_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o of_o the_o law_n may_v herein_o be_v satisfy_v now_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v full_o instruct_v the_o commissioner_n wherein_o they_o may_v learn_v who_o to_o imprison_v when_o to_o fine_a and_o how_o to_o amerce_v in_o a_o legal_a and_o orderly_a sort_n and_o according_a to_o the_o ancient_a and_o approve_a rule_n of_o law_n and_o of_o the_o grand_a charter_n for_o in_o those_o thing_n they_o be_v to_o direct_v their_o discretion_n by_o the_o say_a rule_n and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v thereby_o and_o be_v not_o to_o proceed_v therein_o according_a to_o their_o own_o will_n and_o herein_o i_o shall_v conclude_v the_o second_o point_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v that_o commissioner_n of_o sewer_n have_v power_n to_o imprison_v to_o fine_a and_o to_o amerce_v and_o that_o b._n for_o refuse_v to_o obey_v their_o order_n be_v just_o imprison_v and_o c._n be_v as_o just_o fine_v and_o for_o the_o

distress_n the_o point_n of_o distress_n in_o my_o case_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o point_n 4_o point_n word_n of_o this_o law_n viz._n and_o all_o those_o person_n and_o every_o of_o they_o to_o

yet_o where_o there_o be_v a_o rate_n and_o sess_n impose_v upon_o one_o by_o the_o commissioner_n of_o sewer_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o collector_n or_o officer_n may_v distrain_v
