S. her Steward at the Court c. granted the Land to the Defendant by Copie in Fee according to the custome and so justifies his entry upon the Plaintiffe The Plaintiffe replies and saies that long time before the Copy granted to the Defendant to wit at a Court of the Mannor held such a day the 43. Eliz the Queen by Copy c. granted the Land to the Lessor for life according to the custome by force whereof he entred and made a Lease to the Plaintiffe The Defendant by way of rejoynder maintained his barr and traverses with that the Queen at the Court of the Mannor by J. S. her Steward such a day c. granted the Land to the Lessor and upon this the Plaintiffe demurred in Law generally And Yelverton moved that the traverse was good in this Case upon the day and Steward and the difference is where the act done may indifferently be supposed to be done on the one day or the other there the day is not traversable as in the Case of a Deed made such a day there the day of the Deed is not traversable for it passes by the livery and not by the Deed. And the livery is the substance and the day but a bundance 10 E. 4. And the Law is the same if the day in trespasse wherein the day is not traversable For although it be done upon another day it is not materiall But when a man makes his title by an especiall kinde of Conveyance as in this case the Plaintiffe makes his title by one Copy there all that is concerned in the Copy is materiall and the party cannot depart from it for he claims not the Land by any other Copy but by that which is pleaded as is in the 18 H. 6. 14. where an Action is brought for taking his Servant and counts that he by Deed retained with him his Servant the Monday in one week in such a case it is a good plea for the Defendant to say that the Servant was retained by him such a day after without that that the Plaintiffe did retain him the Monday And the Law seems to be concerning Letters Patents wherein the day and place are traversable being the speciall conveyance of the party from which he cannot depart And also it seems that although the day in the principall case be traversed yet the Statute of 18 Eliz of Demurrers aids it it being but a generall Demurrer and the day being onely matter of form But the whole Court were of opinion that the day was not traversable in this case For the Queen granting an ancienter Copy to the Plaintiffs Lessor then to the Defendant and the traverse should have been without this that the Queen did grant in manner and form c. to the Plaintiffs Lessor and the Case is the same in the Letters Patents for there the traverse should be without this that the Queen granted in manner and form c. And the day and place shall not come into the traverse But Justice Fennor was of a contrary opinion for the Reason delivered by Yelverton before and he also and the Lord cheif Justice held it to be holpen by the Statute of 18 Eliz for it is but

Jacobi The Plaintiffe declares upon a Lease made by John Aylet for one year of certain Land in C. in the County of E. by vertue whereof he entred and was possessed untill the Defendant did eject him The Defendant pleads that the Copihold Land is parcell of the Mannor of D. c. of which one Jo Aylet the Lessors Father was seised in Fee according to the Custome and that he made a surrendor thereof to the use of his Will and by his will devised the Land in question to John the lessor and H. Aylet his sons and to their Heirs Males of their Bodies and willed that they should not enter untill their severall ages of 21 years And further willed that W. B. and H. B. his Executors should have the Lands to perform his Will untill his said Sons Jo and H. came to their severall Ages of one and twenty years c. To which Plea the Plaintiffe replies and confesses the Will but shews further how that such a day and year before the Lease Jo his Lessor attained to his full Age of one and twenty years and entred and made a Lease thereof to him c. To which Plea the Defendant demurred and adjudged for the Plaintiffe For although the Estate to Jo and H. precede in words and the devise to the Executors insues in construction yet the estate to Io Executors precedes in possession And is as if he should have demised the Land untill his Sons Io and H. should attain to their severall Ages of one and twenty years And afterwards to them and their Heirs Males c. to be enjoyed in possession at ther severall Ages so that the Executors have onely a limited estate determinable in time when either Son severally should attain to his full age for his part For so it appears the Devisors intent was that either Son might enter when he attained to the age of one and twenty years And although it was objected by Justice Williams that the two Brothers are joyntenants by the Will and if one should enter when he comes to his full Age the other Brother being under age that would destroy the intent of the devise for then they should not take joyntly but the Court as to that said that the entry of him that attained to his full age doth not destroy the juncture but that they are joyntenants notwithstanding For that entry in the intent of the Devisor was only as to thâ— taking of the the profits and the possession and not as to the estate in joyntenancy and this is proved by 30 H. 6.

The Plaintiffe replies that long before the King had any thing in the Mannor Queen Eliz. was thereof seised in Fee in right of her Crown and before the Ejectment supposed by the Defendant by her Steward at such a Court did grant the Land in question by Copy to him in Fee to hold at Will according to the custome of the Mannor who was admitted and entred and further shewed the descent of the Mannor to the King and how the Lesser entred and made a Lease to the Plaintiffe who entred and was thereof possessed untill the Defendant did eject him Upon which Plea the Defendant did demurr because he supposed that the Plaintiffe ought to traverse the grant alledged by the copy of the Defendant in his Barr. But the Court held the replication good for the Plaintiffe had confessed and avoided the Defendant by a former Copy granted by Queen Eliz under whom the King that now is claimed and so the Plaintiffe need not traverse the grant to the Defendant but such a traverse would make the Plea vitious for which see Hilliais Case 6.

Tenant by the Curtesie living grants the Rent as above without this that Ellen was seised in Fee of three Acres and issue was joyned thereupon and found for the Avowant And in arrest of Judgment it was objected that in effect there was no issue joyned For the traverse of the sesin of Ellen E. was idle for no title of the Rent is derived from her but they ought to have traversed the seisin of Thomas the grantor and then the Issue had been of such a nature that it had made an end of the matter in question which was not in this case no more then if the Tenant in Formulen should plead not guilty but the Court held that though an apter issue might have been taken and that the traverse is not good yet it was helped by the statute of Jeofailes For the estate of Ellen H. was in a sort by circumstance materiall For if she were seised in tayl and that estate tayl discended to Thomas the grantor then by his death the Rent is determined after the Fee discended to Tho from Ellen there the estate was of that nature that he might grant a sufficient rent charge And although it might well be presumed that Thomas after the Fee discended to him from Ellen had altred such estate tayl yet by Popham the Courts shal not now intend that because the parties doubted nothing but whether Ellen was seised in Fee or not when he dyed And that doubt is resolved by the Verdict as if a Defendant should plead a Dâ—ed of J. S to A. and B. and that it dyed and B. survived and infeoffed the Defendant if the Plaintiffe should say that J. S. did not infeoffe A. and that they should be at issue upon that and should be found against him although this be no apt issue yet it is helped by the statute because the parties doubted of nothing but of the manner of the feoffment of J.

Jacobi In Replevin of Cattell taken in D. the Defendant avowes as Bayliffe of H. Finch And the case was thus the Lady Finch Mother of H. Finch granted a Rent charge to H. issuing out of her Mannor of N. and out of all her Lands in D. E. and is in the County of Kent belonging or appeartaining to the said Mannor And the Plaintiffe to barr the Defendant pleads an abatement in H. Finch into the Lands in D. And upon the Defendant demurrs for the Lands in D. were not belonging or appertaining to the Mannor of N. and adjudged for the Defendant For no Land can be charged by that grant if it be not belonging to the Mannor And that for two Reasons the first is because by the word aut alibi it appears that it is all but one sentence and the Aut conjoynes the words proceeding to wit all the Lands in D. S. and to put in the County of Kent in these words following to wit alibi in the said County to the said Mannor appertaining and the sentence is not perfect untill you come to the last words to the said Mannor appertaining for if the Rent be issuing out of the Land in D. c. which is not appertaining to the Mannor then the sentence must be perfect and these words County of Kent and these aut alibi must begin a new sentence which was never seen that they should make the beginning of a sentence And therefore this case is not like the case between Bacon and Baker second of King James in the prohibition where Queen Eliz. grants all her â—ith Hay c. within the liberty and precincts of St. Edmonds Bury belonging and appertaining to the said Monastery and which were lately collected by the Almoner of the said Monastery for there the latter sentence is perfect and compleat And these words in the County of Suffolke and the nec non that ensues are a new sentence And therefore the last clause And which by the Almoner c. goe only to the Tiths following the nec non and not to the Tiths contained in the first clause but it had been otherwise if the nec non had been unacum as in truth the patent was but it was mispleaded for then the unacum would have reinjoyned all and made it but one sentence The second reason was in respect of the nature of the thing granted which was but a rent And therefore if rent be granted out of a Mannor to be perceived and taken out of one acre this shall be good and nothing shall be charged but that one acre only 17. Ass but otherwise it is of Land for a Feofment of a Mannor To have c. one acre it is a void habend For here it appears that the intent of the Lady Finch was only to charge the Mannor and such Land only which were appertaining to the Mannor But Popham held the contrary for he conceived that D. S. and W. in the County of Kent were particularly named and bounded in by the name of the place and County and therefore they should be charged although they were not appertaining to the Mannor As if a man grants all his Lands in D. R. and V. in the County of M. and in Darn in the same County which he hath by discent it should only extend to Darn but denyed by the Court but he was strongly of that opinion And he held that by the first of the charge out of the Mannor all the Lands parcell or appertaining to the Mannor are charged and therefore the subsequent words if they should be limited as is above-said would be idle and frivolous And Yelverton said that the words before belonging or appertaining shall be taken to extend to the Land occupied in the Mannor although it is not parcell of it and Fenwood and Willams granted and Judgment was given that the Defendant should have a return habend TOtt versus Ingram Trin. 4.

A man makes a Lease for years and covenants that the Lessee shal injoy the Tearm without eviction of the Lessor or any claiming under him if he be evicted by a stranger this shal be no breaking of the Covenant for a stranger is no party to the Deed nor claims under the Lessor and for this his Entry shal not give Action to the Lessee and so is the Case in 21 H. 7. between the Prior of Castleton and the Dean of Saint Stephens which was adjudged the 18 of H. 7. Pasch Rot. 416. Though that no Judgment be reported where it appears that the King Ed. 3. seised al the Lands of Priors aliens in time of War for that that they carried the Treasure of the King out of the Realme to the Kings Enemies and so it was made by H. 4. also during the time of his Reign and then in the second year of the Reign of King H. 5. by a statute made between the King and the sayd Priors aliens al the Possessions of the sayd Priors were resumed into the hands of the sayd King and adjudged in 21. H. 7. 1. before that this shal not extend to the Prior of Castleton which had Annuities issuing out of the Possessions of the sayd Priors for the said Prior of Castleton was not party to the sayd act of Parliament and for that he shal not be prejudiced by that and so it was adjudged 25. and 26. Eliz. In the Court of VVards in the case of one Boswell where the King made a Lease for years which was voydable and after by another Patent granted the Inheritance and then came the statute of 18. Eliz. to confirm al Patents made by the sayd Queen within her time and adjudged that the sayd Act shal not make the sayd patent voyd to the Patentee which is a stranger to the act of the Parliament but only against the Queen her Heirs and successors for by the statute it is made only against one person only and shal not be good against another though there be no saving of such person in the sayd Act. And also he conceived that the statute of 22 Ed. 4.

H. 8. for this was in the Negative that none shal cut any wood but only in such manner as is prescribed by the said statute and for that shal be a repeale of the first and that by the first Branch of the sayd statute it appeares that if such giving of Wood in his own Soyl within any forrest he cut to his own use he cannot inclose and by that Branch Commoner is not excluded but by the second Branch it is provided that he may inclose the fourth part of his Wood and cut that in such manner as is appointed by the said statute and then he shal loose his own Common in the three other parts and so he concluded that Judgment ought to be given for the Plaintiff which is the Commoner and Judgment was entred accordingly Pasch 1610. 8.

Geffrey was seised of a Court Leet in Baile of all the inhabitants and râ—â—dent within the Precinct of the Mannor of Baile to be holden within the Precinct of the Mannor as appertaining to his Mannor and shews how that he had used to have a Fine of ten shillings called a Leet Fine of all the cheif pledges of his Leet and if they failed to pay the Steward had used to amerce them that made default in payment shewed how that at a Court holden within the Mannor such a day it was presented that the Plaintif in the Replevin being an inhabitant in B. and resident within the Precinct of the Mannor made default in payment of the said Fine of ten shillings being then one of the cheif pledges of the Court by reason whereof he was amerced at five pounds which being not paid the Defendant took the Beasts and the Issue was whether Bullein at that court was a chief Pledge or no and the Venire to try his Issue was onely of the Mannor and found for the Plaintif and damages and costs to thirty pounds given against Geffrey upon which he brought a Writ of Error in the late Kings Bench and adjudged Error and the Judgement reversed for the Venire facias should have been both of Bail which was the Village as of the Mannor for although the Court be held within the Mannor yet the Leet it self is within the village of Baile and the Plaintiff was an inhabitant and resident within the village which village is within the Precinct of the Mannor and though Fleming cheif Justice held that nothing was in question but whether the Plaintiff was cheif pledge at the Court held within the Mannor or no and so nothing within the
village is in question or could come in Issue yet it was resolved by the whole Court but him that those of the village of Bail might well know whether the Plaintif being an inhabitant within the village in which the Leet was were a chief Pledge at the Court or no for to have cheif pledges doth properly belong to a Leet which Leet is within the village and therefore they of the Mannor cannot have so good knowledge of the matter as they of the Mannor and village together and therefore they all ought to have been of both as in the Case of Common or a way from one village to a house in another village this ought to be tried of both villages and so also of the Tenure of Land in D. held of the Mannor of Sale the triall must be as well of the village where the Land lies as of the Mannor of which the Land is holden as it was adjudged Hill 45. El. in the then Queens Bench in the Case between Lovlace and and Judgement was reversed and see 6 H. 7. and Arundels case in my Lord Cooks Reports BVrglacy versus Ellington Burglacy brought a Replevin against Ellington for the taking of his cattell c. the Avowant pleads that one W. B. was seised of the place in which c. in his Demesne as of Fee and being so seised died by reason whereof the Land descended to one Crist. his Daughter and Heir who took to Husband the Avowant the Plaintiff in his Barr to the Avowry confesses that W. B. was seised and that it descended to C. who took to Husband the Avowant but he further said that the 16 of April primo Jac. the Husband and Wife by their Deed indented and inrolled did bargain and sell the same Land unto one Missenden and a Fine levied by them and that M. the 30 of James bargained and sold it to F. M. in Fee and he being so seised licensed the Plaintiff to put in his cattell the Avowant replies if in the said Bargain and Sale made by the Husband and Wife a Proviso was contained that if the said Ellington should pay one hundred pounds a year after then c. and pleaded the Statute of 13 Eliz. of usury with an averment that the profits of the Land were of the value of twelve pounds by the year the Plaintif rejoyned that true it is there is such a clause in the Indenture but he further said that before the sealing of the Indenture it was agreed by word that the said Ellington should have and receive the profits and not the Plaintif and thereupon the Avowant demurres and the Case was thus Ellington bargains his Land to M for the payment of one hundred pounds a yeare after to be paid and that the Bargainee should have the profits the bargainor enters as upon a void Sale because of the statute of usury for by the Proviso â—he is to have the hundred pounds and ten pounds for the forbearance and by the Law he is to have the profits and the which did amount above ten pounds by the hundred the bargainee to avoid the usury pleaded an agreement by word before the sealing of the Bargain and Sale and the question arising upon this was if the Bargainee might plead this verball agreement for the avoiding of the Deed which did suppose the contrary and Moore of Lincolns â—nne counsell was of opinion that he could not put that maxime that every thing must be dissolved by that by which it is bound and his whole argument depended upon that and he cited divers Cases as 1 H. 7. 28. 28 H. 8. 25. 1 Eliz. Dier 16. 9. Rutlands Case 5 Rep. and Cheyney 6 Case there but the whole Court without any argument were of opinion that he might plead the verball agreement and avoid the usury and first they all agreed that when a Deed is perfected and delivered as his Deed that then no verball agreement afterwards may be pleaded in destruction thereof as it is in the Cases put but when the agreement is parcell of the Originall contract as here it is it may be pleaded and secondly otherwise it would bring a great mischief being the custome so to do by word but if it had been expressed within the Deed that the Bargainee should have the profits and that it was delivered accordingly that no agreement or assignment of the profits could now avoid it for it is an usurious contract and therefore the whole court gave Judgement for the Plaintif that he might well plead the agreement Actions of Trespass and Battery JOhnson versus Turner Trin. 44 Eliz. Trespasse brought for breaking the Plaintifs house and the taking and carrying away his goods the Defendant justifies all the Trespasse the Plaintif as to the breaking of the House and taking the goods and the matter therein contained demurres upon the Defendants Barr the Defendant joins in demurrer in this form to wit because the Plaintif aforesaid as to the breaking of the House and taking the goods is sufficient demands Judgement and Judgement given in the Common Pleas for the Plaintiff and a Writ to inquire of Damages upon which Damages are assessed for the breaking of the House and taking the goods and whether the subsequent words to wit and the matter therein contained go to the whole matter in the Barr to wit to the carrying of the Goods away also for when the Defendant joyned in Demurrer with the Plaintiff he joyned specially to wit to the breaking of the House and taking the Goods but nothing of the carrying them away and so as to the carrying of them away nothing is put into Judgement of the court yet the Writ to inquire is for the whole and the Judgement also and the carrying of the Goods away being parcell of the matter and for which greater Damages are adjudged and that being not put into the Judgement of the Court by the Demurrer therefore the Judgement is erronious for there is a discontinuance as to the carrying of the Goods away which is part of the matter and this businesse concerned Mr. Darcy of the privy chamber concerning his patent for Cards PVrrell versus Bradley Pasch 1 Jacobi The Plaintif declares in Trespass wherefore by force and Arms such a day the Defendant did assault him and one Mare price six pounds from the person of the Plaintiffe then and there did take and Yelverton moved for the Defendant in arrest of Judgement and the Declaration was not good for the Plaintif did not shew any property in the Mare for he ought to have that it was his Mare or the Mare of the Plaintif for as it is laid in the Declaration the words may have two intendments that the property of the Mare was to the Defendant and then the taking was lawfull or that the property was in the Plaintif and then the taking was wrongfull and it being indifferent to whether it shall be taken most strongly against the Plaintif for his
time out of mind to repair the Fence and Hedges betweene Catley Close Fursey Close which Fursey Close doth next adjoyn to the Close called M. where the Cattel were chased and shews that the Plaintiff put his Cattell in Catley Close to feed the Grass there which by default of inclosure escaped into Fursey Close as above but he said that between Catley Close and Fursey Close there is a little Brook which Brook at the side of Catley close had a banck next adjoyning to it which banck the Lessor of the Plaintiff and those whose Estate they have c. have used time out of mind c. to repair And that the Brook at the side of Fursey Close had another Brook next adjoyning which the Defendant used to repair and shews because the Plaintiff had not repaired the banck on the side of Catley Close the Cattell did escape into Fursey Close and stayed in the Close called M. By reason whereof the Defendant chased them as it was lawfull for him to doe whereupon the Plaintiff demurres and adjudged for the Plaintif for the Defendant had pleaded a good Barre and the Plaintif had replyed a good replication and had removed the fault from himselfe and laid it upon the Defendant by his negligent inclosure between Catley and Fursey and the rejoynder doth not confess and avoid the replication but perplexes the matter by adding one point of prescription on the Plaintiffs part that he ought to repair one banck between Catley and Fursey upon which an issue could not be taken for then two prescriptions should be an issue together which cannot be no more then two affirmatives as the 5. H. 7. 12. And also the matter contained in the Records doth not answer the matter contained in the Replication but by way of Argument only And whether that be true is no matter in evidence against the Plaintiff who is bound to prove his Replication true For the Plaintiff saith that Catley and Fursey doe lye together that is without any space between them And the Defendant in his Rejoynder saith there is a banck between Catley and Fursey which if it be so they do not lye together but the Defendant ought to have traversed the prescription alledged by the Plaintiff which had made an end of all the matter which observe was by the opinion of the whole Court SVtcliffe against Constable Trin. 10. Jac. Ch. Constable 32. Eliz. was seised in fee of the Mannor of East-hatfield in the County of Yorke and by his Indenture infeoffes H. Remingham paying for certain Lands parcell of the Mannor 60 l. at two Feasts with a clause of Distresse if it be behind by the space of 14. days Ch. 43. Elizab. by Indenture bargains and sells the 60 l. Rent to the Plaintiff which was inrolled by reason whereof he was seised of the Rent for the life of Ch. and being so seised loses that part of the Identure sealed by Remingham which the said day to wit the 24. Novemb 44. Eliz. came to the hands of the Defendant who by Force and Armes teared the seale of the Indenture against the Peace c. to his damage of 400 l. The Defendant pleads that Ch. hath not granted the Mannor of E. to Remingham paying the rent c. in manner and form and the Plaintiff demurres upon this Plea And it was argued that the Bar was good which is a direct traverse to the title of the Plaintiff to destroy the ground of the Plaintiffs action for if no rent were granted then the Indenture concerning which the Plaintif complains did not belong to the Plaintiff for it passes not to the Plaintiff but as an incident to the second Grant of necessity to make good his title As the Lord Buckhursts Case Co. 1. 7. E. 4. 30. in assize of rent the Plaintiff made his title by deed of a rent charge it was a good plea to say that nothing passed by the grant because the issue is taken upon the speciall matter and not the generall but in an Assize brought of an Office it is no plea to say there is no such Office for that amounts to no more but that he hath not disseised him 45. E. 3. In trespass for taking away of writing it is no plea to say that he never had such a writing but must plead not guilty So in an Action of Trespass for Goods it is no Plea to say that the property of them was to an Estranger and not to the Plaintif because by that plea hee denies not but that the Plaintif was in posaession which is sufficient to maintain the Action 20. H. 8. 28. which books prove that the Plea in Bar is not good for the Defendant destroys the Plaintifs Action but by way of Argument And the rent by such Action is not demanded but damages for tearing the Indenture and so the Title of Rent is not in question and exceptions were taken to the Declaration First the Action was brought for tearing the Counter-part by which the Rent was not created And the Indenture is not expresly granted to the Plaintif but the rent of 60 l. only is bargained and sold and by that the counter-part that pertains to Remingham doth not pass to the Plaintif as an incident for it is not the Originall Deed by which at first the rent was reserved which was granted by all but the Cheife Justice for he said that the counter-part waited upon the interest and was good evidence for that Secondly the Plaintif had not averred that Ch. for whose life the Rent was granted was alive at the time of tearing the Indenture and if C. was dead the Indenture pertained to the Defendant of right as Heir of Ch. for so much appeared by the Plaintifs own shewing which was granted And thirdly the Plaintiff shewed not that ever hee was posaessed of the Deed but by way of Argument to wit that he casually lost it which is not sufficient for none shall have trespass but he who is in actuall posaession which was also granted by the Court. Fourhly the counter-part whereof the Plaintif complains by the Plaintifs own shewing contained as well a warranty as the rent reserved And therefore without a special gift made of that Deed by Ch. to the Plaintiff that Deed doth not pass by Law to the Plaintiff as it is adjudged in Lord Buckhursts Case Fifthly if Ch. the Father be dead then the writing hath lost his force as to the rent for by his death the rent is determined and therefore of necessity the Plaintiff ought to averre the life of Ch. For no Action lies for a Deed that is determined and for these reasons the Plaintiff did discontinue his Action An Action of Trespass was brought for entring into a mans House and continuing there divers dayes c. And after a Tryall and verdict for the Plaintiff Yelverton moved in Arrest of Judgment and shewed for cause that the Plaintiff had declared with a continuando for breaking
Adultery as aforesaid and for that that he refused to become bound to performe the order and the sentence of the high Commissioners he was committed to the Fleete and he praied Habeas Corpus for his Inlargement and also a Prohibition to be directed to the high Commissioners and it was moved by Nicholls that fining is not Justifiable by the high Commissioners no more then Imprisonment he sayd that he was cited out of his Diocesse against the Statute of 23. H. 8. The which Statute is commanded to be put in execution by the Stat. of 1 El. Secondly the offence that is Adultry is not an Enormious-crime and for that shall not be punished by the high Commissioners as it appeares By the Statute of 1. El. But by the Ordinary Thirdly the high Commissioners by the Stat. of 1 El. ought to observe the same course and order in their proceedings that the Ordinary used before the making of the Statute of 1. El. c. That they could not fine nor Imprison But he agreed that the Statute 1 H. 7 gives authority to the Ordinary to Imprison for Adultery but then the person ought to be Ecclesiasticall so that he agreed if Sir William Chancey had been an Ecclesiasticall person the Ordinary might Imprison him for Adultery and for Allimony they ought to give no remedy if the Husband would inhabit together with his wife as he sayd Sir William Chancey desired But if the Husband refuse to dwell together with his wife or thrust her out of his house and will not suffer her to dwell with him then the Ordinary may compell the Husband to allow allimony for his wife but the high Commissioners ought not to proceed upon that for this is no erronious crime for by that the party shall loose his benefit of Appeale which he hath from the Ordinary to the Metrapolitan for here the party cannot appeale to any nor hath any remedy If the Queen will grant Commission to reneue and so he concluded that for that these matters appeare upon the returne of the Habeas Corpus to be the causes of his commitment he praied that Sir William Chancey might be delivered out of Prison and prohibition of staying the proceedings of the high Commissioners Doderidge the Kings Serjeant for the case of Sir William Chancey argued that the returne consisted of two parts That is Adultery and Allimony and to the manner of the proceedings he would not speake for he said that the Court had ajudged that the high Commissioners by the Statute of 1. Eliz. Ought not to proceed upon any offences but those which are Enormious but he intended that the offence at the first was not Enormious being but Adultery and Allimony yet when Sir William Chancey was sentenced for that before the Ordinary and then commuted his pennance and after that lived divers yeares in Adultery with two severall women and had two Bastards and then he became Incorrigible and by consequence the offence is become Enormious and is properly to be determined before the high Commissioners and so praied he might be sent backe and that no Prohibition should be granted and at another day Foster and Warburton said that the high Commissioners ought not to meddle with these matters Nor could not Fine nor Imprison for that But Walmesley said that the Statute of 1. Eliz. Hath referred that to the discretion of the King and the King by his Commission hath given them power to meddâ—e with that and also he seemed that this was an Enormious crime for this is against an expresse commandment that is Thou shalt not commit Adultery and he intends there can be no greater offence then that and it seems to him that the word Enormious ought not to be so expounded as it is expounded by the other Judges that is an Exorbitant crime but Enormious is where a thing is made without a rule or against Law for in every action â—f trespasse the word is used Et alia enormia ei intulit and yet these are not intended Exorbitant offences but other trespasses of the nature of them which are first expressed perticulerly and so the Statute hath been expounded for many yeares and to the Imprisonment he said that the high Commissioners have Imprisoned for the space of 20. yeares and though that the Statute doth not give power to them to Imprison yet this is contained within the Letters Patents and the statute hath given power to the King to give to them what authority he pleaseth by his Letters Patents and for that that it hath been used for so long a time he would not suddainly alter that but gave day till the beginning of the next Tearm for the argument of that Coke cheif Justice said that it was agreed by all that the Imprisonment was unlawfull and if a Person be imprisoned which hath the Priviledge of this Court this Court may deliver him without Bayle for the King is the supream head by the Common Law as to the coercive power and that the Letters Patents of the King cannot give power to imprison where they cannot imprison by the Common Law and so it was adjudged in Sympsons Case 42. Eliz Which was cited before the high Commissioners for adultery with Fists Wife and adjudged there that they cannot imprison for that and he saith that an exposition with the time is the best and for that see the ninth of Eliz. Dyer and the 18 of Eliz. And also it appears by the Statute of 5. Eliz. that awards a Capias excommunicatum which could not be imprisoned before that and upon this Sir William Chancey was bayled and after by meditation of the Metrapolitan he was reconciled to his wife and this was the end of this Businesse Pasch 9. Jacobi 1611. in the common Bench. As yet Urrey against Bowyer HVtton Serjeant argued for the Defendant the question is if lands which were parcell of the Possessions of the Hospitall of Saint Iohns of Jerusalem should be discharged of tythes by the statute of 31. H. 8. or 32. H. 8. in the hands of the Patentee and he seemed that the priviledge was personall and annexed to persons of the said order for it is confessed that it came by reason of the order of the Cestercians as appeares by the Canon The words of which are that they should hold their lands c. Also it appeares by the statute of 2. H. 4. 4. That it is personall by which it was enacted that the religious of the order of Cestercians that had purchased Bills to be discharged to pay tythes should be in the state they were before by which it appeares that it is annexed to their persons and not to their lands so that their Farmers cannot take benefit of that Secondly the priviledge was annexed to this order by canon which is a thing spirituall and hath no power to meddle with the lands of any man but the proceeding of that ought to be by inhibition or excommunication see 11. H. 4. 47. 19.
or Geldings and no more and because the Beasts aforesaid in the narration aforesaid specified over and above the aforesaid other three Mares or Geldings the aforesayd time in which c. were in the aforesayd place in which c the Grasse then growing there eating and the Common of pasture of the sayd Robert Pargiter overcharging and doing damage to the sayd Robert there the sayd Robert Pargiter in his owne right doth wel avow and the aforesayd John Phillips as Bayliff of the aforesayd Pargiter doe well acknowledge the taking of the Beasts aforesayd in the aforesayd place in which c. and justly c. they then doing damage there c. And the aforesayd Robert Kenrick saith That neither the sayd Robert Pargiter for the reason before alleadged the taking of the aforesayd Beasts in the aforesayd place in which c. can justly avow nor the aforesayd John Phillips as Bayliff of the aforesayd Pargiter for the same reason the taking of the Beasts aforesayd in the aforesayd place in which c. justly can acknowledge Because by protestation that he the sayd Robert Kenrick and all those whose estate the sayd Robert Kenrick now hath and at the aforesayd time of the taking c. had in the sayd Messuage and foure Virges of Land with the appurtenances whereof c. time out of minde had not nor used to have or were accustomed every yeare at the first day of August called Lammas day and from thence to the next Feast of the Parification then next following Common of pasture in the aforesayd place in which c. onely for three Horses Mares or Geldings and not more in manner and forme as the aforesayd Robert Pargiter and John Phillips above have alleadged for Plea the sayd Robert Kenrick sayth That he long before the time of the taking of the Beasts aforesayd and also at the same time of the taking c. was seised of the Mannor of Kings Sutton with the appurtenances in Kings Sutton and Astrop in the County aforesayd whereof the aforesayd Messuage and four Virges of Land with the appurtenances whereof c. are and at the aforesayd time of the taking c. and also time out of mind c. were parcell in his Demesne as of Fee and the aforesayd House and foure Virges of Land with the appurtenances thereof c. and of the taking and likewise time out of mind were parcell of the Demesne Lands of the Mannor of Kings Sutton aforesayd And the sayd Robert Kenrick so of the Mannor aforesayd with the appurtenances in manner aforesayd appearing seised the sayd Robert before the sayd time in which c. put his Beasts aforesayd which then were the proper Beasts of the sayd Robert Kenrick upon the aforesayd House and four Virges of Land with the appurtenances lying and rising in the aforesayd place in which c. to eate the Grafs there growing in the sayd place in which c. called Great Greens parcell c. the Grass in the same then growing feeding and the aforesayd Beasts were in the place aforesayd untill the aforesayd Robert Pargiter and John Phillips the aforesayd fourth day of August the seventh yeare aforesayd at Kings Sutton aforesayd in the County aforesayd at Great Greene parcell c. took the sayd Beasts of the sayd Robert Kenrick and those unjustly detained against Sureties and Pledges untill c. as he above against those complaines and this he is ready to verifie whereof and from which the aforesayd Robert Pargiter and John Phillips the taking of the aforesayd Beasts in the aforesayd place c. further acknowledge the sayd Robert Kenrick demands Judgment and his damages by reason of the taking and unjust detaining of those beasts to be adjudged unto him c. And the aforesaid Robert Pargiter and John Phillips say that the aforesaid Plea of the said Robert Kenrick above in the Bar avowed pleaded and matter therein contained is very insufficient in Law justly to avoid the said Robert Pargiter and the said John from just acknowledging the taking of the Beasts aforesaid to have and shut up and that he to the said plea in manner and forme aforesaid pleaded hath no need not by the Law of the Land shall be held to answer and this they are ready to averr whereof for default of a sufficient plea of the aforesaid Robert Kenrick in this part the said Robert and John as before demand Judgement and Returne of the Beasts aforesaid together with their Damages c. To them to be adjudged c. And the aforesaid Robert Kenrick in respect he hath sufficient matter in Law justly to avoid the said Robert Pargiter and the aforesaid John from justly acknowledging the taking of the said Beasts to be shut out as above alledged which he is reaoy to verify which truly matter of the aforesaid Robert Pargiter and John do not answer according to their verifying they altogether refuse to admit as before and demand Judgment and their Damages occasioned by the taking and unjust detaining of the said Beasts to be adjudged to them c. And because c. Upon the pleadings the Case was thus a Freeholder prescribs to have common in parcell of the Demesnes of the Mannor for six Horses and other Cattel in certain Land from Lammas to Candlemas that the Lord of the Mannor hath used to have the said Parcell of Land in severall to his owne use from Candlemas to Lammas and in consideration of that the said Lord hath used to have Common in the said parcell of Land for Horses only and not more and the Lord unjustly puts in other Beasts then the said three Horses in the said parcel of Land and surcharged the Common and the Free-holder distrayned them doing Damage and the Lord brings a Replevin and it was argued that prescription was not good for that that Free-holder claimes that as Common without number in his severall Soyle the Grantee cannot exclude the owner of the Soile 12 H. 8. Brooke so of him which hath Common Fishing in the severall of another he cannot exclude him which hath the severall 18 H. 6. 16. And it is not like to the Case of the time of Edward the first prescription the 55. Where is Prescription that the Owner of the Soile shall be excluded from his Common for part of the yeare for there the other claimes all the Vesture of the Land and so may well exclude the Lord but not when he claimes it but as Common but it was agreed that by Lawes by the Commoners consent they may order that their great Cattell shall be put in in such Feild only untill such a Feast and after that for sheep and swine and this is good as it appears by 46 Ed. 3. 25. And Coke cheife Justice said that such prescription to have Common and to exclude the Owner of the Soyle is not good and he saith that so it hath been adjudged between Whyte of Shirland 31 Eliz. And in
Mannor held in cheife and of other Mannors and Lands held of a Common person in socage and had Issue foure Sonns Thomas William Humphrey Richard And by his Deed 12 Eliz. covenants to convey these Mannors and Lands to the use of himself for his life without impeachment of wast and after his desease to the use of such Farmors and Tenants and for such Estates as shall be contained in such Grants as he shall make them and after that to the use of his last will and after that to the use of VVilliam his second sonn in tayle the Remainder to Humphrey his third Son in tayle the Remainder to Richard the fourth Sonn in tayle the Remainder to his own right Heires with power of Revocation and after makes a Feoflment according to the covenant and after that purchases eight other acres held of another common person in socage and after makes revocation of the said Estates of some of the Mannors and Lands which were not held by Knights service and after that makes his Will and devises the Land that he had purchased as before and all the other Land whereof he had made the Revocation to Thomas his eldest son the Heirs Males of his body for 500. years provided that if he alien and dye without Issue that then it shall remaine to William his second sonne in tayle with the like proviso as before and after dyed and the Jury found that the Lands whereof no revocation is made exceeds two parts of all his Lands Thomas the eldest sonne enters the 8. Acres purchased as before and dyes without Issue male having Issue a Daughter of whom this Defendant claimes these eight Acres and the Plaintiff claims them by William the second Son And Dodridge the Kings Serjeant argued for the Plaintiff intending that the sole question is for the 8. acres purchased and if the devise of that be good or not by the Statute of 34. H. 8. And to that the point is only a man which hath Lands held in cheife by Knights service and other Lands held of a common person in Socage conveys by act executed in his life time more then two parts and after purchases other Lands and devises those if the devise be good or not And it seems to him that the devise is good and he saith that it hath been adjudged in the selfe same case and between the same parties And this Judgment hath been affirmed by writ of Error and the devise to Thomas and the Heirs males of his body for 500. years was a good estate tayle and for that he would not dispute it against these two Judgments But to the other question hee intended that the devise was good and that the Devisor was not well able to doe it by the Statute of 34. H. 8. And hee intended that the statute authoriseth two things 1. To execute estates in the life time of the party for advancement of his Wife or Children or payment of his debts and for that see 14. Eliz. Dyer and that may be done also by the common Law before the making of this statute But this statute restrains to two parts and for the third part makes the Conveyance voyd as touching the Lord But the statute enables to dispose by Will a parts where he cannot dispose any part by the Common Law if it be not by special Custome but the use only was deviseable by the common Law this was altered into possession by the statute of 27 H. 8. and then cometh the statute of 32. and 34. H. 8. and enables to devise the Land which he had at the time of the devise or which he purchased afterwards for a third part of this Land should remain which hee had at the time of the devise made and if a third part of the Land did not remain at the time of the devise made sufficient should be taken out of that but if the Devisor purchase other Lands after hee may those wholly dispose And for that it was adjudged Trin. 26. Eliz. between Ive and Stacye That a man cannot convey two parts of his Lands by act executed in his life time and devise the third part or any part so held by Knights service and also he relyed upon the words of the statute that is having Lands held by Knights service that this shall be intended at the time of the devise as it was resolved in Butler Bakers Case That is that the statute implies two things that is property and time of property which ought to be at the time of the devise But here at the time of the devise the Devisor was not having of Lands held by Knights service for of those he was only Tenant for life and the having intended by the statute ought to be reall enjoying and perfect having by taking and not by retaining though that in Carrs Case cited in Butler and Bakers Case rent extinct be sufficient to make Wardship yet this is no sufficient having to make a devise void for any part Also if the Statute extend to all Lands to be after purchased the party shall never be in quiet and for that the Statute doth not intend Lands which shall be purchased afterwards for the Statute is having which is in the Present tence and not which he shall have which is in the Future tence and 4. and 5 P. and M. 158.

A man seised of Socage Lands assures that to his Wife in joynture and 8. years after purchases Lands held in cheife by Knights service and devises two parts of that and agreed that the Queen shall not have any part of the land conveyed for Joynture for this was conveyed before the purchase of the other which agrees with the principall case and though to the Question what had the Devisor It was having of Lands held in Capite insomuch that he had Fee-simple expectant upon all the estates tayl he intended that this is no having within the Statute but that the Statute intend such having of which profit ariseth and out of which the K. or other Lord may be answered by the receipt of the profits which cannot be by him which hath fee-simple expectant upon an estate tayle of which no Rent is reserved and also the estate tayle by intendment shall have continuance till the end of the world and 40. Edw 3. 37. b. in rationabili parte bonorum it was pleaded that the Plaintiff had reversion discended from his Father and so hath received advancement And it seems that was no plea in so much that the reversion depends upon an estate tayle and upon which no Rent was reserved and so no advancement So of a conveyance within this Statute ought such advancement to the youngest sonne which continues as it is agreed in Binghams Case 2 Coke that if a man convey lands to his youngest sonne and he convey that over to a stranger in the life time of his father for good consideration and after the Father dies this
Prerogative of a Prince and is part of Law and stands with it and this is reasonable custome and so it hath been adjudged in the Kings Bench the reason is insomuch that the custome is the life of the Copy-hold upon which that depends and the party is but a Conduit to nominate the Tenant and when he is nominated and admitted then he takes by the Lord and that stands with the rules and reasons of the Common Law that is that a man devises that a marryed wife shall sell his Land and she may sell notwithstanding the Coverture for she upon the matter nominates the party and he takes by the Devise and by this reason she may sell to her Husband as it is agreed by the 8 of Assises And also by devise that Executor shall sell Executor of Executor may sell notwithstanding that he is not in Esse at the time of the Devise and so a Lease for life to one Remainder to him that J. S. shall nominate is good after nomination and then he takes by the first Livery as it is agreed in 10 H. 7. and J. S. Only hath the nomination and nothing passes to him and with this also agrees 43 Ed. 3. 19 H. 7. So if a man makes a Feoffment to the use of himself for life with diverse Remainders over and power to himself to make Leases for three lives this is good as it is agreed in Mildmayes Case and Whitlocks Case 8 Coke and yet the Estate doth not passe from him but out of all the Estates and he upon the matter hath only the nomination of the Lessee and of the lives for all the estates apply their forces to make that good and the 2 El. Dyer 192. 23. Custome that the Wife of the Copy-holder for life shall have her Widdows Estate is allowed to be a good custome and there an Estate for life upon the matter is raised out of the estate for life and annexed to it and this is by the Custome and the reason he conceived to be for that that Women should be incouraged to marry with their Tenants and by that the marriage with the Tenant and the custome in this Case doth bind the Lord and so 4 Coke there are divers customes by which the Lord is bound and the 8 Coke Swaines Case where the Copy-holder by custome hath the Trees in Case where the Lord himself hath them not so if the Lord sell the Waste yet the Copy-holder shall not loose his Common in that notwithstanding that the Estate of the Copy-holder be granted after the Wast is severed from the Mannor and it is agreed in Waggoners Case 8 Coke that custome is more available then the Common Law And for that this cnse hath been adjudged in this point between Crab and Varney by three or four Judges he would not further question it And for the second custome he agreed that one bare Tenant for life could not meddle with the Sale or falling of the Trees but here is a Copy-holder for life which hath Aut ority given by the Lord and the Custome to dispose the Trees and he saith that Bracton and the old Laws of England calls Copy-holders Falkland and saith they cannot be moved but in the hands of the Lord they ought to surrender and agreed that this is within the Rules of the Common Law for Consuetudo privat communem legem and the Law doth nor give reason of that for this is as a ground and need not to be proved for the reason of every custome cannot be shewed as it was sayd in Knightly and Spencers Case and he sayd that Mannors are divided into three sorts of Tenures The first holds by Knights Service and this is for the defence of the Lord and they have a great number of Acres of Land and pay less Services The second holds by Socage and this for to plow and manure the Demesnes of the Lord and they shall pay no Rent nor do other services and this was at the first to draw such Tenants to inhabit there and for that they have Authority to dispose and sell the Trees growing upon theit Tenements The third holds by base Tenure and these were at the Will of the Lord and these were to do Services and then these in many Cases have liberty for their Wives in some cases to dispose that for another life and to dispose the Trees and so it is in Ireland at this day where some give more and greater priviledge then others to induce Tenants to inhabite and manure their Land for there every day is a complaint made to the Councell for inticing the Tenants of the Lord and 14 Ed. 3. Bar 277. The Tenant preseribes to have the Windfalls and if the Lord cut the Trees that he may have the Lops and 11 H. 6. 2. The Keeper of the Wood prescribes to have Fee and 46 Ed. 3. is prescription to stint the Lord in his own Soyl and all these are for the Incouragement of Tenants to inhabit upon the Land and time of Ed. 1. Prescription 75. A stranger prescribed to have all the profit of the Land of another for a great part of the yeare and to exclude the giver of the Soyl 6 Ja. It was adjudged in the Kings Bench between Henrick and Pargiter that the Lord may be stinsted for Common in his own Laud and in the Book of Entries 563. It appears that by Custome Copy-hold granted Sibi suis was a good Fee-simple and the reason of all this is shewed in the 4. Coke amongst his Copy-hold Cases where it is agreed that the Life of a Copy-hold Estate is the customes and then if the Custome gives life to the Estate this gives life also to all the Priviledges which are incident to the Estate and the Lord is but the means to convey the Estate from one to another and as in 38 Ed. 3. A man hath a House as Heir to his Mother and after a stranger grants Estovers to him and his Heirs to be burnt in the same House these Estovers shall go to the Heirs of the Mother insomuch that they are incident to the House so of Priviledg incident to a Copy-hold Estate by the Custome and at the Common Law if Tenant for life hath cut the Trees he hath not forfeited his Estate for he was trusted with the Land and was not punishable till the Statute of Glocester and at this day if there be a mesne Remainder for life which remains in Contingency and that shall prevent that the Tenant shal be punished for this waste and to make innovation of this custome will be dangerous and for that he concluded that the Plaintiff shall be barred Warburton Justice agreed And the first Custome that is for the nomination of the Successor he conceived that it is good and that it is good by the Common Law and good by Custome by the Common Law as a Lease for life remainder to him which the Tenant for life shall
name So by Custome as the Custome that if a Copy-holder will sell his Copy-hold Estate that he which is next of blood to him shall have the refusall and if none of his blood then he which Inhabits in the neerest part of the part of the ground shall have it before a stranger giving for that as much as a stranger would and the Lord shall have him for his Tenant whether he will or no for it shall be intended that so it was agreed at the first and it is reasonable and if it had not been ruled and adjudged before yet he conceived it might now be a rule and adjudged insomuch that it is so reasonable and good and for the second custome that is for the custome of cutting of Trees by such Copy-holder which hath such priviledge he conceived also that it was good But he agreed that a bare Tenant for life cannot be warranted by custome to do such an Act as it was here adjudged between Powell and Peacock But here he had a greater Estate then for life for he hath power to make another Estate for life and shall have as great priviledge as Tenant after possibility c. which is in respect of Inheritance which once was in him and he may do it for the possibility which he hath to give to another Estate as it is agreed in 2. Ed. 4. that a Lease fo a hundred yeares is Mortmain in respect of the continuance of it so here for the Estate may continue by such power of nomination for many lives in perpetuity and that as when at the Common Law they have in reputation and opinion of Law a greater Estate may cut and sell Trees so here insomuch that the Estate comes so neere to Inheritance he conceived that he might cut the Trees by the custome and that the Custome is good and so he concluded that Judgement should be given that the Plaintiff should be barred in respect of Customes and then to the third that is when a man lets Land and by the same Deed grants the Trees to be cut at the will and pleasure of the grantee there the Lessee hath distinct Interest But if the Lessor by one selfe same clause had demised the Land and the Trees there the Intendment is But notwithstanding that there are severall clauses and that he hath distinct Interests yet he conceiveth that the Trees remaine parcell of the Inheritance and free-hold till they are cut and are severed only in Interest that is that may be felled and devided by the Axe for Tythes shall not be paid for them if they exceed the growth of twenty yeares not it shall not be Felony for to cut those and burn them And it is not like to an Advowson for that may be severed and for that he conceived that if the Custome had not warranted the Cutting and Selling that the Copy-holder had forfeited his Estate and that the Lord might very well have taken advantage of it and 29. assis 29. A man sells Trees to be cut at Michaelmasse insuing and before Michaelmasse Haukes breed in them the seller shall have them by which it appeares that the property is not altered So that though they are not parcell of the Mannor yet they are parcell of the Free-hold insomuch that they are not severed in Facto And he agreed that Lessee for yeares of a Mannor shall take advantage of Forfeiture and need not any presentment by the Homage and Littleton fol. 15 saith that the Lord may enter as in a thing Forfeited unto him and so for attainder of Felony And if a Copy-holder makes a Lease for yeares by which he forfeits his Copy-hold Estate And after the Lord grants the Mannor for yeares the Lessee of the Mannor shal take advantage of this Forfeiture made before he had any Estate in the Mannor without any presentment by the Homage But here in this case the Custome warrants the cutting of the Trees by the Copy-holder and for that he concluded all the matter as above that the Plaintiff should take nothing by his Writ Coke cheife Justice agreed and he said that Fortescue and Littleton and all others agreed that the Common Law consists of three parts First Common Law Secondly Statute Law which corrects abridges and exp'aines the Common Law The third Custome which takes away the Common Law But the Common Law Corrects Allows and Disallows both Statute Law and Custome for if there be repugnancy in Statute or unreasonablenesse in Custome the Common Law Disallowes and rejects it as it appeares by Doctor Bonhams Case and 8 Coke 27. H. 6 Annuity And he conceived that there are five differences between Prescription and a Custome And all those as pertenent to this cause First in the beginning Pugnant ex Diametro for nothing may be good by prescription but that which may have beginning by grant and also prescription is incident to the Person and Custome to some place and holds place in many Cases which cannot be by grant as in 11 H. 4. Lands may be devised by Custome and so discent to all the Sons as in Gavelkind and to the youngest Son in Eurrough English and others like which cannot have their beginning by Grant but prescription and Custome are Brothers and ought to have the same age and reason ought to be the Father and Congruence the Mother and use the Nurse and time out of memory to Fortifie them both Secondly they vary in quality for prescription is for one man only and Custome is for many if all but one be not dead Thirdly they vary in extent and latitude for prescription extends to Fee-simple only but Custome extends to all Interests and Estates whatsoever as appeares by pleading for Tenant in tayl for life or yeares cannot prescribe in what Estate nor against the Lord in his Demesnes but they ought to alledge the Custome and against a stranger they ought to prescribe in the name of the Lord and for that prescription b. Copy-holder of Inheritance may sell the Trees is not good but such Custome is good and 5. Ed. 3. 24. And the old Reports 196. One Tenant being a Free-holder prescribes to have Windfalls and all Trees-which are withered in the Top and if the Lord makes them in Cole to have so much in money And so if they sell and this for Sale and this was not-good insomuch that it is alledged in the person as prescription but if it had been alledged as Custome and to be burnt in his house then it shall be good as appendant and 14. Ed. 3. Barr 227. Wilby saith to be adjudged that prescription to have Turbary to be burnt in his house is good but not to sell and 11. H. 6. 17. accordingly by which it appeares that this may be very well by Custome and cannot be by prescription Thirdly he conceived that where a man may create an Estate without nomination there he may create that by nomination And also that which may be done by the
twenty yeares if the Husband and wife and the Issue male of their Bodies so long live and it was there adjudged that the Lease doth not determine during the lives of any of them for in this disjunctive it is referred to an Intiâ—e Sentence and is as much as if he had sayd if the Husband or the Wife or the Issue of their Bodies so long live Hillary 7. Jacobi 1609. In the Common Bench. Borough of Yarmouth THE King John by his Letters Patents granted that the Burrough of Yarmouth should be incorporated and the grant is made Burgensibus without naming of their Successors and also he granted Burgensibus teneri placita coram balivis and in pleading it was not averred that there were Bailiffs there and it was objected that the Burrough cannot be incorporated but men which inhabite in that but to that it was resolved that the Grant is good and the Lord Coke sayd that he had seen many old Grants to the Citizens of such a Town and Good and so that the Grant Burgensibus that the Bâ—rrough should be incorporated being an old Grant should have favorable construction but the doubt was for that that it was not averred that there were Bailiffs of Yarmouth and if a Grant to hold Pleas and doth not say before whom the Grant is voyd according to 44 Ed. 3. 2 H. 7. 21 Ed. 4. and for that it was adjourned But the opinion of all the Court was that the Grant made Burgensibus was good without naming of their Successors as in the case of Grant civibus without more Note that Executors or Administrators shall not finde speciall Bail for the Debt of the Testator though that the debt be for a great sum as three thousand pound or more for it is not their Debt nor his Body shall not be lyable to execution for that 43 Ed. 3. Suit was commenced hanging another Writ it is a good Plea though that the Writ was returnable in the Common Bench and the last Suit was begun in a Base Court but if so be and doth not appeare to this Court that the Plaintiff begun suit in a base Court for the same Debt for which the Suit is here begun Attachment shall be awarded see 2 H. 6. 9 H. 6. but this ought to appear to the Court by Affidavit c. Hillary 7 Jacobi 1609. In the Common Bench. Chapman against Pendleton IN second deliverance the case was this A man seised of a house and fifty Acres of Land held by Rent fealty and Harriot service enfeoffs the Lord of three Acres parcell of the Land and after infeoffs the plaintiff in this Action of three other Acres and upon this rhe sole question was if by this Feoffment to the Lord of parcell Harriot service is extinct or not Harris Serjeant conceived that the Harriot remaines for he sayd that it is reserved to the Reversion of the Tenure but it is not as anuall Service but casuall and it is not like to rectify for that it is incident to every service And by 43 Ed. 3. 3 It is no part of the service but Improvement of the service And Bracton in his Tractate De Relevijs 2 Booke 2 7. saith that Est alia prestatio vocata Harriot c. Que magis fit de gratia quam ex Jure and it is not like to a releife see the Booke at large and he agreed that if the Tenant had made fifty severall Feoffments to fifty severall men that every of them shall pay a severall Harriot as it appears by Bruertons Case 6 Coke 1. a 34. Ed. 3. Harriot 1. 2 Ed. 2 Avowry 184. 〈◊〉 Ed. 2. Ibidim 206. 11 Ed. 3. Avowry 101. 24 Ed 3. 73. a 34 Assise 15. 22. Ed. 4. 36. 37. 29 H. 8. Tenures 64. But he grounded his Argument principally upon Littleton 122. 223. Where it is sayd that the reason why Homage and Fealty remaine if the Lord purchase part of the Tenancy is for that that they are of annuall Services and it seemed to him that Littleton is grounded upon 7 Ed. 4. 15. Extinguishment 2. 8 Ed 3. 64. 24. Ed 3 B. Apportionment last case which accords the reason and upon this he concluded that for that that the Harriot is not annuall it shall not be extinct by the Feoffment but remaines but he agreed if a man makes a Lease for years rendring Rent and parcell of the Land comes to the Lord the Rent shall be apportioned if it be by Lawfull means as it appears by 6 R. 2. F. Quid Juris clamat 17. Plesingtons Case and 24 H. 8. Dyer 4. 1. Rushdens case by which c. Nicholls Serjeant that it hath been agreed that it is intire service and that then he concluded upon that that it shall be of the nature of other intire services as it apperrs by 2 Ed. 2. Avowry 184. and 34 Ed. 3 F. Harriot 1. 5. Ed. 2. Avowry 206. And he agreed that in the case of Littleton the Homage and Fealty remain and the escuage shall be apportioned but this is not for the reason alledged in Littleton that is for that that they are not annuall services but for that that the Homage is incident to every Knights service and as the Lord Coke sayd fealty is incident to every service in generall and the Tenant shall make Oath to be faithfull and loyall to his Lord for all the Tenements which he holds of him and the reason for which the Escuage shall be apportioned is for that that it is but as a penalty which is inflicted upon the Tenant for that that he did not make his services as it appears by the pleading of it and shall be apportioned according to the Assesment by Parliament and by 22 Ed 4. It appears that this purchase by the Lord is as a release and if the Lord release his services in part this extincts the services in all and he sayd there is no difference where an intire service is to be payd every third or fourth year and where it is to be payd every year as to that purpose and yet in one case it is annuall and in the other it is casuall and yet in both cases if the Lord purchase parcell of the Land of the Tenant all the intire services shall be extinct and gone though that they are to be performed every third or fourth year by which c. Foster Justice that the Harriot is entire service and for that though that it be not annuall it shall be extinct by purchase of parcell of the Tenancy by the Lord as if a man makes a Feoffment with warranty and takes back an Estate of part the warranty is extinct as it appears by the 29. of Assise so if a man hold his Land by the service to repaire parcell of the fence of a Park of the Lords and the Lord purchase parcell of the Tenancy the Tenure is extinct as it appears by 15 Ed. 3. And it is
a Writ this is disturbance and Action upon the case lies And so in Quare Impedit And also he sayd that the Earle cannot make a Deputy but by writing as it is resolved 28. H. 8. Br. deputy 17. Where it is sayd that Deputation of an Office which lyes in Grant ought to be made by Deed and not by Word But here the Jury have found that the Earle hath made his Deputy this shall be intended in lawfull manner and cannot be but by writing And also he agreed that the Habendum mentioned in the third Grant shall extend only to this Grant which is his proper Grant that the Office of the Habendum And it appeares by Wrotsleys and Adams case Comment 17. That the Office of Habendum is to make certain the Estate and not the thing granted for this is the Office of the Premisses of the Deed And if the Habendum in the third Grant had had reference to the second Grant this would make the Grant void And in Grants of the King other construction shall be made as it was adjudged in the Court of Wards Michaelmasse 28. and 29 Eliz. between Brunkar Plaintiff and Robotham Defendant where the case was the King Hen. the 8. had two Mannors whereof diverse Lands of one Mannor extended the other Mannor and then the King granted one Mannor and all his Lands in the same Mannor Nec non omnies singulas Terras c. In the same Town and adjudged that the Lands which were parcell of the other Mannor which was not granted passe by this Grant though that they are in the other Mannor in the same Town and he denyed that the words Precipientes volentes shall be taken as a Grant for they are not spoken to the Patentee but to other Officers which are strangers to the Grant But if the thing granted had been a Chattell that a Covenant might enure as a Grant and 10. Eliz. Dyer 270. 22. The King Phillip and Queen Mary granted for them and their Heires and Successors to A. B. That he and his Factors and Assignes might Tavern and keep a Tavern c. Commanding all Mayors and Sheriffs c. and other Officers and Subjects and their Heires and Successors to permit and suffer the said A. B. during his life to hold and use a Tavern and to sell Wine without Impeachment and it seemes that the Grant is void for that that there is not any time limited for how long it shall indure and the mandate in the last clause shall not make any limitation for by the death of the Prince this altogether ceaseth for Omne mandatum morte mandantis expirat And for that all Proclamations made in time of the Raign of Queen Eliz cease and determine by her death And to the person of the Earle he said that it was a Maxime that Honour and Order shall be observed and that was a common saying of the said Queen and for that it was not her intention that this Maxime should be broken and that the said Earle should exercise the said Office in person but she intended the said Earle should overlook the said Mannor and place here a sufficient able man to exercise the said Office because he should answer for the misdemeanour of such a Deputy is the forfeyture of the Office and he saith that the Dignity of an Earle was the most high Dignity in this Realm that any Subject doth possesse till the 11. Ed. 3 The black Prince was the 1 Duke and Aubry de Vere the 1 Marquess in the 11. R. 2. and Beamount the first vicount in the time of H. 6. And none of these Dignyties are above an Earle in degree but only in precedency for Bracton lib. 1. chap. 8. saith Quod Comites dicunter a socitate quia Comitantur Regem And in ancient time none were made Earles but only those which were of the blood Royall and this is the reason that they are called Consanguinij Regis and also they may be called Consules a Consulendo Tales enim Regis sibi associunt ad consulendum regendum populum Dei And at their creation the King gives to them a Robe and Cap which signifies Councell and Corronet which signifies the greatnesse of his Blood and Honour and also sword Vt sit in ntrumque tempus as well ready for War as peace And for that it should be unfit that one of such Honour State and Dignity should be imployed in holding of Court Barons and there sit to enter Plaints and have a peny for every Plaint for his paines and to make Copies and such like base imployments which are Vividae rationes which was not the intent of the Queen that he should exercise the said Office in person and the Law requires conveniences in all Grants as in 12. and 13. H. 8. One licensed a Duke to come and hunt in his park and the Duke came with his Servants and many others of his Retinue and hunted there and it was adjudged that the Grant was sufficient to warrant his hunting in this manner in respect of the conveniency for it is not fit and convenient that the Duke should go alone and 21. Ed. 3. 48. The Bishop of Carlile sued the Executors of his Predecessor the Ornaments of the Chappel of the sayd Bishoprick and then recovered and though that the sayd Chappel was in the private House of the sayd Bishop yet it was thought fitting that such Chappel should be adorned with convenient Ornaments and that these Ornaments should go in succession to the Successors and not to the Executors and if conveniency be so required in all these cases then by the like Reason such inconveniency shall not be admitted that the Earl should be Clark to Suitors as every Steward is And for that he conceived that the Grant is good And that the sayd Earl may exercise this Office by a Deputy as well as if a Common person grant an Office of Fostership to the King he may exercise that by any party or grant it over though therebe no words of deputation in the Grant and this in respect of the quality of his person and in many other cases an Earle or another Noble man shall be priviledged as in 3 H. 6.

And if a common person be in debt to me a hundred pound I may have a Capias and arrest his person for this Debt but if the King create him Baron or Earl then his person is so privileged that that cannot be attached for this Debt and this is without wrong to me as it appears by the Countesse of Rutlands case 6.

STretton versus Cush Pasch 1. Jacobi J. L. leased a House for fourscore years in which Lease there is one Condition that the Lessee his Executors and Assignes should keep and maintain the House in reparation and if upon lawfull warning given by the Lessor his Heires and Assignes c. to enter the Lessee for fourscore years leases the House to A. for thirty years and A. leases it to Wilmore for fifteen years the Assignee of the Reversion came to the House and seeing it in decay gave warning to Wilmore then possessed of that House to repair it which was not done within six Moneths by reason whereof the Assignee entred for the Condition broken and upon a Not guilty pleaded the matter before recited was found by a special Verdict and adjudged against Sir William Wade the Assignee of the Reversion for the warning given to Wilmore to repair who was but an under tenant was not good for he was not Assignee of the terme nor had but a pety interest under the grand Lease upon whom no Attorney could be made for the Rent nor any Action of Waste brought against him for there wanted the immediate privity and in this Case there is a difference to be taken between a rent and a Condition for reparations for the Condition is meerly collateral to the Land and meerly personal and therfore warning is not of necessity to be given at the House but notice of Reparations ought to be given to the person of the Lessee who had the grand interest And a Difference is to be taken between a time certain in which a thing is to be done and a time incertain for in the Case of Rent reserved at a Day certain Demand thereof must be made upon the Land onely because the Land is the Debtor for Popham said that if the Lessor should come and demand his Rent and there should meet with J. S. a stranger and should say to J. S. Pay me my Rent this is no good Demand of the Rent having mistaken the person who is chargeable with it but in this Case one general Demand of Rent without reference to any person who is not chargeable is good And he was of opinion that if a man lease Land rendring Rent for a year whensoever the Lessor should demand it in this Case the Lessor come and demand it before the end of the year his Demand upon the Land is not good except the Lessee be there also for the time being incertain when the Lessor will demand it he ought to give notice to the Lessee of it And if the Lessor come to the Lessee in person and demands the Rent yet it is not sufficient for although notice is to be given the Lessee in person yet the Land is the Debtor and therefore the Law ties the Lessee to the Land as to the place in which he shall be paid but if the Lessor stay nntill the eud of the year then the Lessee at his peril ought to attend upon the Land to pay it for the end of the year is time of payment prescribed by the Law which was granted and Judgement was given for the Plaintiff CLerk versus Sydenham Pasch 4. Jacobi An Ejectment brought by the Plaintiff of a Lease made of Land by P. and B. and Not guilty pleaded and the Evidence of the Defendants part was by reason of a Lease of the Land in Question made by the Abbot of Cleeve before the Dissolution to W. D. and Jo. his Wife and F. their Daughter for their Lives by Indenture and by the same Indenture the Abbot covenants grants and confirmes to the three Lessees that the land should remain to the Assignee of the Survivor of them for ninety years Fr. survived and took to Husband one Hill who the 20 Eliz. grant their Estate for life to J. S. and all their interest in the Remainder and all their power for all the term and this by mean Assignements came to the Defendant and whether any interest passed in Remaindor by the Lease of the Abbot was the Question and by all the five Judges it was held to be a good interest in possibility and to be reduced into a certainty in the person of the Survivor as where Land is given to three and the right Heirs of the Survivor this is a good limitation of the Inheritance presently but it is in expectancy untill the Survivor be known for then the Fee is executed in him And Popham vouched a Case in his experience 17 Eliz. in which Serjeant Baker was of Counsel and it was a Lease was made to Husband and Wife for life and for forty years to the Survivor of them the Husband and Wife joyn in Grant of this Interest and although it be certain one of them shall survive yet the Grant is void because at the time of the Grant there was not any interest but onely a possibility in either of them and although in the Case in Question the Remainder is not limited to any of the three Lessees but to the Assignee of the survivor yet the Court was of opinion that this was not a bare nomination in the survivor to appoint what person he pleased but a terme and an interest and Popham took this difference if a Lease be made to J. S. for life and after his death to the Executors and Assignes of J. S. this is an interest in J. S. to dispose of it but if it had been limited to J. S. for life and afterwards to the Executors and Assignes of J. D. here this is a bare power in J. D. and his Executors because they are not parties or privies to the first interest which was agreed and it was also agreed that whether it was an interest or a word of nomination it was all saved to the party by the Statute of
31 H. 8. of Monasteries which gives the Houses dissolved to the King but in the same degree and qualitie as the Abbot had them And the Abbot was charged with the power given by himself and so was the King Which mark VVAnto versus Willingsby Pasch 5.

And by the Deed it appeared that the Lands did lye in Little Sutton within the Lordship of Sutton Cofeild And notwithstanding the Plaintiffe shall recover For first it was held not to be any Joynture within the Statute of 11 H. 7. for it is not any such gift as is intended by the Statute for the Bishop was not any Ancestor of the Husband and the Husband took nothing by that but it was a voluntary recompence given by the Bishop in reward of the service passed And the Statute intended a valuable confideration And also the Bishop might well intend it for the Advancement of the woman who appeared to be Cozen to the Bishop And Tanfeild held if the woman were a Doneâ— within the Statute of 11 H. 7 she could be but for a moyetie for the gift was before the marriage and then they took by moyeties And the Baron dying first the woman came not to any part by the husband but by the course of Law as survivour But quaere of this conceit for the other Judges did not allow it And secondly they held that the Fine of Io. the elder Son of Sybill levied to Walther destroyed the entry of Io. and of Walther For although in truth the Fine passed nothing but by conclusion yet Io. the Son and Walther his Conusee shall be estopped to claim any thing by way of forfeiture against that Fine on the womans part then any title accruing after the Fine For they shall not have any new right but Io the Son upon whom the Land was intayled is barred by the Fine Thirdly although upon view of the Deed made by the Bishop the Land which by the Declaration is layed to be in Sutton Cofeild by the Deed appears to be in Little Sutton yet this is helped by the Verdict by which it is found expresly that the Bishop gave the Lands within written and therefore being so precisely found the Deed is not materiall Which mark KNap versus Peir Iewelch Pasc 5. Jacobi An Ejectment brought for Lands in Wiccombe which were the Deans and Chapters of Chichester And in this case it was agreed by the whole Court that if it be a Corporation by prescription it is sufficient to name them by that name they are called And the Court held that if a man demands Rent upon the Land to avoid a Lease upon a condition the Demand ought to be made in the most open place upon the Land The Dean and Chapter of Chichester made a Lease to one Raunce the Lessee of the Defendant of Lands in Wiccombe rendring Rent payable at the Cathedrall Church of Chichester upon such a condition it was agreed by the whole Court that the Demand ought to be made in the Cathedrall Church of Chichester although it was of the Land Leased And the Demand ought to be made at the setting of the Sun the last instant of that day and when he made his Demand he ought to stand still and not walk up and down for the Law did not allow of walking Demands As Pipham said and he ought to make a formall demand And because those whom the Dean and Chapter did send to make the demand of Rent said bear witnesse we are come hither to demand and receive such Rent it was held by the Court that such a demand was not good And they held the demand ought to be made at that part of the Church where the greatest and most common going in is And in this case it was said by Popham that if a man make a Lease to one for yeers to commence at a day to come and then he lease to another for yeers rendring Rent upon a condition to commence presently And he enter And the first Lease commence and he enter the Rent and Condition reserved upon the second Lease is suspended A man leases for years rendring Rent after he leaseth to another to commence at a day to come and the first Lessee attorns the second shall not have the Rent reserved upon the first Lease by Popham but he doubted of it And Popham and Tanfeild held none contradicting that the Letter of Attorney made by the Dean and Chapter to demand their Rent was not good because the Letter of Attorney was to make a general demand on any part of the Land which the Dean and Chapter had leased And that ought to have been speciall onely for that Land And secondly it was to demand Rent of any person to whom they had made a Lease And the Letter of Attorney ought to be particular and not generall of any person TOmpson versus Collier Mich. 5.

And the Plaintiffe demurred upon this Plea And adjudged for the Plaintiffe For first after an Imparlance the Defendant cannot plead in abatement of the Bill for he hath admitted of it to be good by his entring into defence and by his Imparlance And secondly the matter of his Plea is not good because the Defendant hath not shewed in which of the Villages the House and fourty Acres of Land did lye And that he ought to have done For where a man pleads in abatement he alwayes ought to give to the Plaintiffe a letter writ with mark And the whole Court held that this Plea was not in barr but that he should answer over And Williams Justice took this difference that when a man demurrs upon a Plea in abatement And when he
is the eldest Son although they alleadge their births in severall Counties yet it shall be tryed where the Land lyes and so in that Case a Release of all his right was pleaded against him and he pleaded that he was within age and borne in another County yet it shall be tryed where the Land lyes and so adjudged 7 H. 4. 8. and 17 E. 3. 36. b. 19 H. 6. 15.

Prisot was of the same opinion and the Law is the same when it concerns the person as in misnomer or that he is not the same person and so in the Case in question although the Action be brought in one place and the nonage pleaded in another County yet it shall be tried where the Action was brought and therefore the Action being brought in Midd. the triall of Midd. is good for a writ of Error is of the nature of an Originall which is personall and they held the Venire facias should be amended being but a matter of Form and that it was no mistriall it being awarded at a right place and likewise the will is right which warrants it and therefore it is but a misprision and no mistriall and the Venire facias shall be amended according to the will and Judgement was given for the Plaintiff in the writ of Error Formedon BRigham versus Godwin The Formedon did abate by the death of one of the Demandants and upon a new writ brought by Journes accounts the Tenant was Essoined and it was moved by the demanded that the Essoin should be quashed because the Tenant was Essoined upon the first writ but the Essoin was allowed by the Court but it was held by the Court that if the Tenant had the view upon the first Writ he should never have the view again at the Common Law we might have had a new Essoin upon view as often as he brings a new writ and Husband held that if by the Common Law it is to be granted the Statute doth not abridge it two views do not ly upon one writ at the common Law and if this shall be accounted but one Writ the view lieth not but in this case the Tenant did relinquish the view because he had day to plead NEvill versus Nevil Mich. 15 Jac. rotulo 77.

The possession of the House is the possession of the Land for the Lessee against his Lessor of that which passes by one demise But if a stranger enter and sever part by metes and bounds nothing is wrought by the possession of the residue Another question was this A Lessee for yeares of ten Acres paying twenty shillings Rent the Lessee is outed of parcell yet he payed all the Rent to him in Reversion the Lessor having notice of the enter whether this protects the Reversion so that nothing is gained by the entry but the interest of the Lessee and shall be no disseisin And Yelverton at the Barr was of opinion that it should be no Disseisin Rithen Sect. 590. saith That so long as the particular Tenant continues his possession so long is the reversion in the Lessor for in such case as to the Lessor the Lessee shall be alwayes deemed in possession by force of the Lease and the reason why the Lessee shall be adjudged in posaession of all as to the Lessor is because the Lessor cannot have notice of the alteration of the posaession for when the Lessee by his owne Act or sufferance doth a thing in alteration of the posaession of which by common intendment the Lessor cannot have or take notice there the Law will not prejudice the Lessor And see for that Farmers Case in the third Rep. 79. If Tenant for life levy a Fine having Land in the same Villiage this shall not bind the Lessor if five yeares pass before he take notice of what Land the Fine is levied And the same Law if Tenant for life make a Feofment to one who hath land within the same Village levies a Fine and in this cafe if the Lessee hath continually payd all his Rent the Lessor cannot intend or suspect but that the Lessee is absolute Tenant of the whole and in Farmers Case it is sayd That if the Lessor levy a Fine the Disseisee is barred without claime for it is impossible but he to whom the wrong is done shall presently know it But if he that hath the particular estate by Grant or trust reposed in him shall secretly practice although he pay the Rent and continue posaession yet it is otherwise But the Reporters opinion was that if in the principall case no Rent had been reserved then the Reversion had been devested by the entry for there had been no act done to mislead or hinder the knowledge thereof and also although rent be reserved and all payd yet if he had express notice thereof the reversion had been devested And secondly if it should be a Disseisin a great mischeif would follow for if a discent should be it would take away the Lessors entry and yet no fault in them because in common presumption the Lessee alwayes continued Tenant but Cook of a contrary opinion for he said it could not be denyed but that the Lessee is out of the posaession and then it follows of necessity that the Lessor must be out of his reversion And as to notice to make his claime he must take notice at his perill 4 M.

An Action of Trespass brought and a speciall verdict found and the question was whether Land held in ancient Demesne was extendable for debt and an action of Trespass brought for that cause And Justice Nichols held it was extendable for otherwise if it should not be extendable there would be a fayler of Justice for if a Judgment should be had against a man that had no other Land but what was in ancient Demesne and that it could not be extendable there would be a fayler of Justice which the Law doth not allow of but an Assize or a re-disseisin doth not lye of Land in ancient Demesne because of the Seisin that must be given by the Common Law and it would be prejudicial to the Lord which the Law allows not and Wynch and Hubbard were of the same opinion For ancient demesne is a good plea where the Free-hold is to be recovered or brought in question but in an action of Trespass it is no plea.

H. 6. 3. This priviledge by the canon which gives that shall be taken strictly And so is the opinion of their own expositors see Panormitan Canon 37. So that there is an apparant difference between that and the lands which came to the King by the statute of 31. H. 8. For by that the King is discharged of paiment of tythes and so are his Patentees It seems to me that the construction of the Cannon may be in another course different from the rules of the common law as it was ajudged in Buntings case that a woman might sue a Divorce without naming her Husband very well and 11. H. 7. 9. The pleading of the sentence or other act done in the spiritual Court differs from the pleading of a temporall act done in temporall Courts and 34 H. 6. 14. a Administration was committed upon condition that if the first Administrator did not come into England that he should have the Administration which is against the Common Law for there one authority countermands another and 42 Ed. 3 13. A Prior which hath such priviledge to be discharged of Tithes makes a Feoffment and his Feoffee payes Tithes to the Prior and this was of Lands which were parcell of the possessions of Saint Johns of Jerusalem and upon that he inferred that this priviledge is personall and if it be so it is determined by dissolution of the order as it is determined in 21 H 7. 4. That all Parsonages impropriate to them by the dissolutions are become prsentable and so of these which were annexed to the Templers for these shall not be transferred to Saint Johns though that the Lands are 3 Ed. 1. 11. By Herle accordingly Fitz. Natura Brevium 33 K. and 35. H. 6. 56. Land given in Frankalmaine to Templers and after transferred to Hospitallers of Saint Johns the priviledge of the Tenure is paid and so shall it be in case of Tithes being a personall priviledg that shall not be transferred to the King and to the Statute of 32. H. 8. The generall words of that do not extend to discharge the Land of Tithes though that the Statute makes mention of Tithes if there be not a speciall provision by the Statute that the Lands shall be discharged and this appears by the words of the Statute of 31 H. 8. where the general words are as generall and beneficiall as the words of this Statute and yet there is aspeciall provision for the discharge of the payment of tithes by which it appears that the generall words donot discharge that and so the generall words of 1 Ed. 6. are as larg and beneficiall as the generall words of the Statute of 31 H. 8. And yet this shall not discharge the Land of payment of Tithes and this compared to the Case of the Marquesse of Winchester of a writ of Errour that that shall not be transferred to the King by Attainder of Land in taile for treason by the Statute of 26 H. 8. or 33 H. 8. And so of rights of action and so it was adjudged in the time of H. 8. that if the founder of an Abby which hath a Corrody be attaint of Treason the King shall not have the Corrody and he agreed that the Hospitall of Saint Johns of Jerusalem is a house of Religion for this is agreed by Act of Parliament and the word Religion mentioned in the Statute more then seventeen times and also it seems to him that the Statute of 31 H. 8 shall not extend to that for this gives and establishes Lands which come by grant surrender c. And that shall not be intended those which come by Act of Parliament no more then the statute of 13 Eliz. extends to Bishops 1. and 2. Phillip and Mary Dyer 109. 38. The statute of Westminster the 2. chap. 41. Which gives Contra formam collationis to a common person founder of an Abby Priory Hospital or other house of religion without speaking expresly of a Bishop and yet it seems that this extends to an alienation made in Fee simple or Fee taile by the Bishop 46 Ed. 3. Forfeiture 18. But it is resolved in the Bishop of Canterburies Case 2 Coke 46 that the statute of 31 H. 8. shall not extend to these lands which come to the K. by the statute of 1 Ed. 6. to make them exempt from paying of Tithes and to the Case in 10. Eliz. that is but an opinion conceived and that the Prior hath this priviledge from Rome and that the Farmer shall pay Tithes and the question was in the Chancery and upon consideration of the statute of 31 H. 8. It seems that the Patentee himself shall be discharged as long as by his own hands he tills it and the statute of 32. H. 8. Upon which the state of the question truly consists was not considered and also it was not there judicially in question And to the case of Spurling against Graves in Prohibition consultation was granted for that that the statute was mistaken and so the award was upon the form of the pleading only and not upon the matter and so he concluded and prays consultation Houghton Serjeant to the contrary and he agreed that it is a personall priviledg and if the Order of St. Johns had been dissolved by death that then the priviledg shall be determined and this appears by the Stat. of 2. H. 4. 4. before cyted and also the case of 10. Eliz. Dyer 277. 60. did doubt of that but he relyed upon the manner words of pleading that is that Hospitallers are not held to pay Tithes it is as a reall composition made betwixt the Lord and another Spirituall person of which the Tenants shall take advantage as it is resolved in the Bishop of Winchesters case Also as if a man grant a Rent charge if the Grantee dye without Heir the grant is determined But if the Grantee grant that over and after dyes without Heir yet the Rent continues 27. H. 8. Or if Tenant in tayl grant Rent in fee and dies the grant is void But if he after suffers a recovery or makes a Feofment the Rent continues good till the Estate taile be recontinued as it is resolved in Capels case So here the order of Templers hath been determined by death the priviledg hath been determined but insomuch that the Land was transferred by Parliament to the King this continues Also the words of the Statute of 32. H. 8. are apt not only to transfer all the Interest which the Pryor had in his Lands but also his Priviledges and Immunities to the King and he agreed it is not material if the words Tythes are mentioned in the Statute or not But the word upon which he relyes and which comprehends this case is the word Priviledg which takes away the Law for where the Law binds them to pay Tithes the priviledg discharges them And the words of the Statute are taken in the most large extent that is all Mannors c. Priviledges
observed with the feare of God And another Canon That custome of not Tything or of the manner of Tything if they paid lesse then the tenth part see Panormitan upon that seek of the Case between Vesey and Weeks in the Exchequer upon the Statute of 27. H. 8. for the dissolution of small Monasteries Also the Lord Darcy in quo warranto was discharged of purveyance by Patent granted by the King Edward 6. of such priviledges which such a one had and by the same reason the King shall be discharged of Tythes by the Act of Parliament also he remembred the Book of 10. Eliz. Dyer 277. 60. to be resolved in the point and also 18. Eliz. Dyer the Parson of Pekerks case 399. 16. upon the Statute of 31. H. 8. and so concluded and prayed judgment for the Plaintiffe and that the Prohibition should stand and it was adjourned Trinity 9. Jacobi Priddle against Napper UPon a speciall verdict the cause was The Prior of Mountague was seised of an Advowson and of divers acres of Land and the 20. of H. 8. the King licensed him to appropriate that and 21. H. 8. the Bishop which was Ordinary assented and after that the Church became void that the Prior might hold it appropriate and 27. H. 8. the Incumbent dyed so that the Appropriation took effect and was united to the possession of the Rectory Appropriate and also of the Land out of which Tythes were due to the said Prior in respect of the said Rectory and then the Priory is dissolved and the Impropriation and the Lands also given to the King by the Statute of 31. H. 8. which granted the Impropriation to one and the Lands to another And if the Patentee of the Land shall hold it discharged of the payment of Tythes in respect of that unity was the question And Harris Serjeant for the Defendant in the Prohibition that the unity ought to be perpetuall and lawfull as it was adjudged between Knightley and Spencer 2 Coke 47. a. cyted in the Arch-Bishop of Canterburies case and for that unity by or by lease for years or for two or three years as in the case at the Barre shall not be sufficient to make discharge of the payment of Tithes and so it was adjudged Pasche 40. Eliz. Rot. 454. between Chyld and Knightley that is that the unity of the possession ought to be of time that the memory of man doth not run to the contrary And in the argument of this Case it was said by Popham cheif Justice that if no Tithes were paid after the Statute that then it shall be intended that no Tithes were paid before the Statute and so he concluded and prayed Consulation see 2 Coke 48. a. The Arch-bishop of Canterbury for the reason by which unity of possession is discharged of payment of Tithes that is for that that some houses of Religion were discharged by Buls of the Pope and many were founded before the Councell of Lateran and for that it shall be infinite and in a manner impossible to find by any searches the means by which they are discharged the unity is no discharge in respect of it selfe for the reasons aforesaid and none may know if Tithes were paid or not before the union And if Tithes be not paid in time of memory by a house of Religion and they lease of that for years and receive Tiths then the lease expiâ—es two yeares before the Dissolution of the same house the King shall not be discharged of the payment af Tithes by the Statute of 31. H. 8. by Coke and Walmesley against Warburton and Foster Dorwood against Brikinden UPon the Statute of 5 Ed. 3. a man libelled in the Spiritual Court for Wood cut and a Consultation was granted Yet the Defendant in the Court Christian might have a new Prohibition if it appeared the first Consultation was not duly granted So if a man libell for Tithes for divers years and Prohibition is granted for part of the years and after that a Consultation is awarded yet the Plaintiffe may have a new Prohibition for the residue of the time notwithstanding the Statute of 50 Ed. 3. and that it be upon one selfe same libel Admirall Court NOte that the Admirall cannot imprison for any offence but if the Court hath Jurisdiction of the Originall cause and sentence is there given this sentence may be executed upon the Land 19.

The Parson of Salt-ashes Case That this Court tooke notice of Jurisdiction of all Ecclesiasticall Courts and Ordinaries for they write unto them for tryall of Bastardy and Matrimony And there are 3. Legates First a born Legate as the Arch-bishop of Canterbury and Yorke Remes and Pylazam Second a Latere as all Cardinalls The third a Lagate given as those which have their Authority by commission and Lynwood Provinc saith that the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury as Arch-Bishop cannot meddle out of his Diocesse of Canterbury and his Peculiars but as a Legate borne which is in respect of his Office he hath prerogative and if a man inhabit in one Diocesse and ought to pay tithes to another which inhabits in another Diocesse there the Ordinary ought to prefer the suit to the Metrapolitan but seek what Ordinary shall transfer it Trinity 9. Jacobi 1610. in the Common Bench. Jones against Boyer HEnry Jones Parson of Bishopton sued Bowen the Executor of Holland the last Incumbent in the Arches for Dilapidations upon which a Prohibition was prayed upon the statute of 23. H. 8. for that that it was sued out of his Diocesse which was Saint Davids but it appears that the Vicar generall of the same Ordinary hath made generall request to the Metropolitan to determine that without shewing any cause speciall and if the inferiour Ordinary may transmit any cause but only for the causes mentioned in the statute of 23. H. 8. And if the causes ought to be expressed in the Instrument was the question note that the generall words of the statute of 23 H. 8. chap. 9. Rastall Citation 2. are afterwards many particulars or in case that any Bishop or any inferiour Judge having under him Jurisdiction in his own right and title or by commission make request or instance to the Arch-Bishop Bishop or other inferiour Ordinary or Judge to take treat examine or determine the matter before him or his substitute And that to be done in case only where the Law civill or Canon doth affirm execution of such request or instance of Jurisdiction to be lawfull or tollerable and for the better discussing of this question the Judges had appointed to heare two Doctors of the Civill Law which at this day attended the Court the first Doctor Martin said that these generall words have reference to the Executor and not to the maker of the request and this request may be made for all causes but ought to be made to him which hath
a Fee simple conditionall and not an Estate tayl and he said that the sole question was if the Statute of Westminster 2. conevrted and changed Fee simple conditionall of copy-hold into an Estate tayl for if it be not an Estate tayl within this Statute it shall not be an Estate tayl at all for Littleton saith before the making of the said Statute these Estates were Fee simple conditionall and for that cannot be by prescription also he said that copy-hold Estate was so base an Estate that at the Common Law a copy holder had no remedy but only in the Court of the Lord But as to Littleton who sayth that he may have a Formedon in discender to that he saith that the Heire which hath Fee simple conditionall may have it by the Common Law for this was at the Common Law before the making of that Statute of Westminster 2. As it appears by 4. Ed. 2. Formedon 50. 10. Ed. 2. Formedon 55. And by Bendlowes in the Lord Barkleys case in the Commentaries 239. b. by Benlose where it is said by him that a Formedon in discender was not at the Common Law but in a speciall case where an Assise of Mortdancester would not serve the Issue that is if a man had Issue a Sonn and his Wife died and after that he takes another Wife and Land was given to him and to his second Wife and to the Heires of their two Bodyes begoten and they have another Sonn and the Wife dies and after the Father dies and a stranger abates there he sayth that before the Statute the youngest Soon could not have an Assise of Mortdancester and for that he shall have a Formedon in discender which was no other but a writ founded upon his Case see 10 of Ed. 2. Formedon 55. And for that when Littleton speakes of an Estate tayl of copy-hold that ought to be understood of Fee taile which may be Fee simple conditionall and so Littleton may be reconciled 〈◊〉 will well agree with himself also it seems that Copy-hold is ouâ—â—f the intent and meaning of the Statute of Westminster 2. For at the common Law in ancient times this was base Estate and not more in reputation then villinage and also if such an Estate then might be created of that which shall be perpetuall and no means to barr it for surrender of that doth not make any discontinuance and Recovery was not known till 12. Ed. 4. and he saith that in ancient time the name of Copy-holder was not well known for in ancient time they were called Tenants in Villinage and Tenants by copy is but a new terme see Fitzherberts Natura Brevium 12. b. and the old Tenures fol. 2. and Bracton lib. 2. charter 8. In gifts made to servants calleth them Villaines and Sokemen and in the old Tenures it is said that the Lords may expell them and upon this he inferred that if it be so baseâ— Tenure though it be of Lands and Tenements yet they shall not be intended to be within the intent of the makers of the Statute of Westminster 2. and also by a second reason that is that it was not the intent of the makers of the Statute that this should extend to any Lands but only to those which are free Lands for the parties are called Donees and Feoffees and the will of the Giver should be observed according to the forme in the Charter of his gift manifestly expressed by which it appears that it ought to be of such Land of which a gift may be made and also the Statute provides that if the Donee levy a fine that in right it should be nothing by which also it appears as to him it seemed that it ought to be of such Land of which a fine may be levied And also for a third reason which was the great Inconvenience which would ensue upon it for then the Donees have no meanes to dispose of that nor give that for the advancement of his Wife nor her Issues and also the Lord shall loose his signiory for the Donee shall hold of him in Reversion and not of the Lord and it is resolved in Heydens Case 3 Coke 8. a. That when an act of Parliament alters the service Tenure Interest of the Land or other thing in prejudice of the Lord or of the custome of the Mannor or in prejudice of the Tenant there the generall words of such act shall not extend to Copy-holders see the opinion of Manwaod cheife Baron there and he agreed that admitting it shall be an Estate taile that then Surrender shall not make discontinuance and so he concluded and prayed Judgment for the Plaintiffe his Clyent see Hill and Vpchars Case which was adjudged in the Kings Bench and the principall case was adjourned untill the first Saturday of the next Tearme See Hillari 7.

Wallop against the Bishop of Exeter and Murray Clark IN a Quare impedit the case was Doctor Playford being Chaplaine of the King accepted a Benefice of presentation of a common person and after he accepted another of presentation of the King without any dispension both being above the value of eight pound per annum if the first Benefice was void by the Statute of 21 H. 8. chapter 13. or not was the question for if that were void by the acceptance of the second Benefice without dispensation then this remaines a long time voide so that the King was intituled to present by Laps and presented the Plaintiff the Statute of 21 H. 8. provides that he which is Chaplain to an Earle Bishop c. may purchase license or dispensation to receive have and keep two Benefices with cure provided that it shall be lawfull to the Kings Chaplaines to whom it shall please the King to give any benefices or promotions spirituall to what number soever it be to accept and receive the same without incurring the danger penalty and forfeiture in this Statute comprised upon which the question was if by this last Proviso Chaplaine of the King having a Benefice with cure above the value of eight pound per annum of the presentation of a common person might accept another Benefice with cure over the value of eight pound also of the presentation of the King without dispensation the words of the Statute by which the first Church is made void are and be it enacted that if any parson or parsons having one Benefice withcure of Soules being of the yearly value of eight pound or above accept and take any other with cure of Soules and be instituted and inducted in possession of the same that then and immediately after such possession had thereof the first Benefice shall be adjudged in the law to be void See Hollands case 4. Cooke 75. a. This case was not argued but the point only opened by Dodridge Serjeant
others which were present at the said marriage or Actors in that And upon Evidence it appeared that Doctor Hussey was not present nor Actor in it and for that the Jury found him not guilty but they found all the other Defendants guilty of the said Ravishment for upon the Evidence it appeares that the Wife of Doctor Hussey procured and provided the Minister which married them and in the last Michaelmas Terme this was tried here at the Barr and the Jury assessed Dammages to ten pound and the value of the Ward to eighty pound for so much Moore proved that he could have sold him for and also the Jury found that the Ward doth appeare married being of the Age of 16. yeares at the time of his marriage and exceptions were taken to that for that it was not found of what age the Ward was at the time of the verdict and it was urged by Dodridge that by the Statute of Westminster 2. chapt 39. The precise age ought to be found at the time of the verdict Secondly it was found that the Ward did appeare married and doth not say without License of the Guardian and the Guardian may give his consent where the Ward marries himselfe and then there is no cause of action The third and other exception was taken in the behalfe of the Wife of Doctor Hussey for that shee being a married Wife was found guilty of Ravishment of Ward against the Statute of Westminster the 2. chap. 39. And it was urged that it was not the intent of the Statute that provides that he which did Ravish not having right in the marriage though he should restore the Boy naked and not married or should satisfie for the marriage he shall be punished for the transgression by Imprisonment for two yeares and if he shall not restore him or shall marry the Heire after the marrying yeares and cannot satisfie for the marriage he shall abjure the Realme or shall have perpetuall Imprisonment And it was objected that a married woman was not intended to be within this Statute for it is apparent that a married woman hath not wherewith to make satisfaction and it shall not be intended that she shall have perpetuall Imprisonment or make abjuration for this was to make separation betweene the Husband and his Wife and so it was adjourned And the Judges moved the parties to compound amongst themselves see Michaelmas 8.

Kenricke against Pargiter and Phillipps RObert Pargiter Gentleman and John Phillipps were summoned to answer to Robert Kenricke Gentleman of a Plea why they tooke the Beasts of the said Robert Kenricke and those unjustly detained against Suerties and Pledges c. And thereupon the said Robert Kenricke by Thomas Pilkington his Attorney doth complaine that the said Robert and John the fourth day of August the yeare of the Reigne of our now King seventh at Kings Sutton in a certaine place called Great Greenes took Beasts that is to say one Gelding one Mare and one Colt of the said Robert Kenrickes and do unjustly detaine them against Suerties and Pledges untill c. By which meanes he saith he is the worse and hath losse to the value of twenty pound and therefore bringeth this suit c. And the aforesaid Robert Pargiter and John Phillipps by John Barton their Attorney do come and defend the force and Injury when c. And the said Robert Pargiter in his owne right doth well avow and the aforesaid John Phillipps as Bailiff of the said Robert Pargiter doth well acknowledge the taking of the said Beasts in the aforefaid place in which c. and justly c. Because he saith that the said place in which it is supposed the taking of the said Beasts to be made did containe and at the aforesaid time in which it is supposed the taking of the aforesaid Beasts to be made did containe in it foure Acres of Meadow in Kings Sutton aforesaid which the said Robert Pargiter long before the aforesaid time in which c. and also at the same time in which c. was and as yet appeareth seised of one Messuage and one virge of land with the appurtenances in Kings Sutton in his Demesne as of Fee and that the aforesaid Robert Kenrick the aforesaid time when c. and long before was seised of a Messuage and foure Virges of land with the appurtenances in Kings Sutton aforesaid whereof the aforesaid place in which c. Is and at the aforesaid time when c. and also at the time to the contrary doth not appeare in the memory of man was parcell in his Demesne as of Fee And the said Robert Pargiter and John Phillipps further say that the said Robert Pargiter and all those whose Estate the said Robert Pargiter now hath and at the aforesaid time when c. had in the aforesaid Messuage and one Virge of Land with the Appurtenances of the said Robert Pargiter from time the contrary whereof doth not appeare in the memory of man had and have used to have and were accustomed to have Common of Pasture in the aforesaid place c. For six Horses Geldings or Mares two Colts six young Beasts called Steeres or young Beasts called Heifers and two Mares called breeders in and upon the said Messuage and one Virge of Land with the Appurtenances lying and rising in manner and forme following that is to say every year in and from the first day of August called Lammas day untill the feast of the purification of the blessed Mary the Virgin then next following as to the said Messuage and one Virge of Land with the Appurtenances belonging and the said Robert Pargiter and John Phillipps further say that the aforesaid Robert Kenricke of the aforesaid Messuage and foure Virges of Land with the Appurtenances whereof c. In the forme aforesaid appearing seised the said Robert and all those whose Estate the said Robert Kenricke now hath and at the aforesaid time in which c. had in the aforesaid Messuage and foure Virges of Land with the Appurtenances whereof c. time out of mind had and were used and accustomed to have the aforesaid place in which c.

cannot a Copy-holder which hath so base an estate And if this shall be so these mischeifes will insue That is that this base estate should be of better security then any estate at the Common Law for Fine shall not be a Barr of that for it cannot be levied of that also Recovery cannot be suffered of that for there cannot be a Recovery in value neither of Lands at the Common Law neither of Customary Lands for they cannot be transferred but by the hands of the Lord. And to Littleton he agreed and also 4 Ed. 2. which agrees with this where it is said that at Stebenâ—eath a Surrender was of Copy-hold Lands to one and the Heires of his Body but he said that that shall not be an Estate taile for then the Estate hath such operation that this setles a Reversion and Tenure betwixt the Giver and him to whom it is given but this cannot be of Copy-hold Land for this cannot be held of any but only of the Lord and to the others this Estate doth not lye in Tenure and yet he agreed that of some things which did not lye in Tenure Estate Tail may be but Land may be intailed but Copy-hold Estate is so base that an Estate tail cannot be derived out of it so that though that custome may make an Estate to one and the Heires of his Body yet this cannot be an Estate taile but Fee-simple conditionall and also he agreed that they might have Formedon in Discender but it is the same Formedon which was before the Statute as if Tenant in Fee-simple conditionall before the Statute would alien before issue but it was no Estate taile with the priviledges of an Estate taile before the Statute and to the other matter of Surrender that is the admittance of the parties which is an Estate taile that doth not conclude the Court as it appears by the Lord Barkleys Case in the Commentaries where the Estate pleaded severally by the parties is not traversed by any of them and so concludes and prayes Judgment c. And this case was argued again in Trinity Tearme next ensuing by Montague the Kings Serjeant for the Defendant and he said that there are three questions in the case First If Copy-hold land may be intailed Secondly Admitting that it may be intailed if Surrender makes discontinuance Thirdly If it shall be Remitter and to the first he seemed that it might be intailed and that it shall be within the Statute of Westminster 2. And first for the Antiquity of that he said that Littleton placed that amongst his Estates of Free-hold and hath been time out of minde and is a primitive Estate and not derived out of the Estate of the Lord and the Lord is not the Creator of that but the means to convey that after that it is cerated and what is created then shall have all the priviledges and Benefits which are incident to it and shall be nursed by the custome and is time out of minde and the Law alwaies takes notice of it and he cited 24 H. 4. 323. by Hankf Bracton Fitz. Na. Bre. 12 C. and Brownes Case 4. Coke which is not simply an Estate at the will of the Lord but at the VVill of the Lord according to the custome of the Mannor and when it hath gained the reputation of Free-hold then it shall be dircted according to the rules of the Common Law and 2. and 3.

F. Prescription 29. that it hath no Incidents which are incident to Estates at the Common Law without Custome as Dower See Revetts Case and so is Tenancy by the Curtesie and there shall be no discent of that to take away Entry and so of other derivatives And he seemed that it is not within the Statute for three reasons apparent within the Statute First That it is hard that Givers shall be barred of their reversions but in case of Copy-holds the Giver hath no remedy to compell the Lord to admit him after the Estate tayle spent but onely Subpena and in this Case the Lord may releive himselfe for the losse of his services for that the Statute provides no remedy for him Secondly That the Statute doth not intend any Lands but those of which there is actuall reversion or remainder and those which passe by Deed so that the will of the Giver expressed in the Charter may be observed and of which there may be a subdivision as Lord Mesne and Tenant for there shall be alwayes a reversion of the Estate tayle and the Donee shall hold of the Donor and not of the Lord. Also it seems that the Statute doth not intend to provide for any but those for whom the VVrit in the Formedon ordained by the Statute lyes and agreed that for Offices and such like Formedon lyeth if the party will admit Estate tayle to be discontinued Also the Statute intends those things of which a Fine may be levyed for the Statute provides that the Fine in his owne right should be nothing but by Copy-holder Fine cannot be levied and for that he shall not be within the

In Common Bench Crane against Colepit THomas Crane Plaintiff in Replevin against Bartholemew Colepit the only question was if Tenant by discent of the age of twenty years and more ought under one and twenty yeares to attorn to a Grant of the signiory or not and it was adjudged that the Attornement is good for three reasons First For that he gives no Interest and for that it cannot be upon condition for it is but a bare assent Secondly His Ancestors held the same Land by the payment of the Rent and making of their Services and it is reason that the Rent should be payd and the Services performed and for that though that he shall have his age for the Land yet for the Rent he shall not have his age and though that it is agreed in 32 Ed. 3. That he shall have his age In per que servitia yet after his full age the Grantee shall distraine for all the arrerages due from the first so that the Attornement is no prejudice for this Infant and he is in the number of those which shall be compellable to attorn see 41 Ed. 3. age 23. 26 Ed 3. 32. 32 Ed. 3. and 31 Ed. 3.

Jacobi DOdridge Serjeant of the King argued for the Plaintiff he saith that there are two Copies first that a Copy-holder for life under a 100. l. may nominate his Successor Secondly That such Copy-holder after such nomination may cut down all the Trees growing upon his Copy-hold and sell them and he saith that it hath been adjudged that the custome that Copy-holder for life may sell the Trees growing upon his Copy-hold is void between Popham and Hill Hillary 45 Eliz. in this Court so if the first custome doth not make difference by the nomination the second is resolved to be void and it seemes to him that the first custome doth not make difference and to the objection that the first custome hath been adjudged to be good between Bale and Crab he saith that the custome adjudged and this custome as it is found differs in many points First It was found that every Copy-holder for life solely seised without Remainder but here is sole Tenant in possession and this may be where there is a Remainder so that uncertainty in this makes the custome void as in 6 Ed. 3. custome that an Infant at the age of discretion may alien is void for uncertainty also in the case here it is found that the Copy-holder may name who shall be next Tenant to the Lord and doth not say to whom the nomination shall be made but in the first case the custome is found to be that the nomination ought to be to the Lord in the presence of two Copy-holders also in the first it is found that if they cannot agree of the Fine that the Homage shall assess it but in this custome here found there is not any mention of that he ought to seek to be admitted and doth not say at what court the which ought to be shewed in certain as it is resolved in Penimans Case 5 Coke 84. Where custome that a Feoffment ought to be inrolled is expressed shall be inrolled at the next court also in the first case to be found that after the Fine is payd or offered he which is named shall be admitted and here is not any mention of that so that he concluded that this is a new custome and not the same custome which was in question between Bayle and Colepit also it is found that the trees were cut immediately after nomination of a new Tenant and before any admittance or Fine payd for him so that insomuch that the Benefit was not equall as well as to the Lord as to the Tenant as in 2 Ed. 4. 28. and 22 Ed. 4. 80. For plowing and turning upon the Land of another for that the custome shall be void And to the second custome also it seems that that is voyd and unreasonable First for that when any is alledged in the custome that is inconvenient though that it be not mischeivous yet the custome shall be void as in 4. Assisarum 27. in Assise brought against an Abbot which pleads custome that all the houses of the South side of
that yet the Copy-holder hath nor forfeited his Estate for the Trees and the Mannor are granted by severall Grants and for that though that they are by one selfe same Deed yet by that the Trees are severed from the Mannor and the Trees are the cause of the forfeiture and they are no parcell of the Mannor as in 31 Edw. 3. Assis 441. by sale of a Castle the services are extinct So here the forfeiture cannot accrue to the Mannor when that commeth by reason of Trees which are severed by reason of severall Grants and he thought that the Grant shall be taken more strong against him which made it as if a man in the Premises give Fee-simple to have in tayl the Estate tayl shall be precedent and the Fee-simple depending upon that so if a man have the next avoydance of a Church and the Church becomes voyd and after he purchase the Advowson yet the Presentation remaines as it was before for that is the best thing and so it is resolved in Herlackendens Case 4 Coke 63. b. That if a man makes a Lease for yeares of Land except the Trees and after grants the Trees to the Lessee that the Trees are not reunited to the Land and so he concluded that it shall be no forfeiture and prayed Judgment for the Defendant and this Case was argued againe Michaelmas 9 Jacobi by Shirley for the Plaintiff that the first custome was voyd insomuch that he claimed to doe a greater thing then his Estate would warrant as in 35 H. 6. Custome that if one Pawne the Goods of another that he which hath them Pawned may keep them whosoever they were is not good as Custome that the Tenant in tayle may devise is voyd for his Estate will not warrant it and it is prejudice to the Tenant in reversion So Custome that Copy-holder shall have Common and another Custome that none shall put in his Beasts till the Lord put in his 2. H. 4. 24. Also there is no Fine Limited to be tendred by the Tenant or to be demanded by the Lord And if a Copy-holder refuse to pay his Fine it is a Forfeyture and if the Custome do not provide for the Fine of the Lord as for the Copy-holder the Custome shall be void Also here cannot be admittance for Littleton saith that the sole meanes to transfer Copy-hold is by Surrender And here if the Custome should be good the copy-hold should be transferred by Nomination only and so the Lord should be Defeated of his Fine and it seemes also that the second Custome is void for it is contrary to the Estate of a copy-holder to sell all the Trees but he agreed that he might have Estovers for houseboote and hedgboote as it was adjudged in Swayne and Becketts Case and he cited the 19. assis Where a Commoner made a Lease for life and void for that that the Estate would not support it 9. H. 6. 56. and 11. H. 6. 40. Prescription to sell Estovers is void for Estovers are appropriate to a house And also it was adjudged in this Court between Poltocke and Powell that a copy-holder for life cannot prescribe to sell the Trees for it is contrary to his Estate as if a Custome be that if a Feoffor die his Heire within age that he shall be in Ward as 8. H. 6. And he thought that the Nomination was no alteration for he to whom the Nomination is made hath only an Estate for life when the Nomination is made and that doth not warrant the sale of the Trees and to the third it seemes that the Lord of the Mannor bargaine and sells the Trees and after lets the Mannor to the bargainee for years and then copy-holder makes wast he thought that the Trees were not severed from the Mannor as in 33. H. 8. 48. Dyer 2. if a man bargaine and sell a Mannor and after in the same Deed makes a bargaine and sale of an Advowson appendant this remaines appendant So if a man bargaine and sell a Mannor and also the Trees do not passe till Livery be made of the Mannor So if Lessee for yeares gives and grants the Land and makes a Letter of Attorney to make Livery the tearme passes without Livery and then it is a Forfeyture And here the Lessee shall have the benefit of Shade and Burrough and the Trees themselves during the Tearme as parcell of the Land and then when the copy-holder hath done more then his Estate will warrant this is a forfeyture and the Lessee shall take the advantage of it and so he praied Judgement for the Plaintiff Harris for the Defendant that the Customes are good but admitting that so yet the Plaintiff shall not take advantage of it and he argued that Custome ought to have two properties first reasonable secondly ought to have time to make that perfect and then shall be good as it appears by the examples of Littleton f. 37. of Burrough English and Gavelkind and custome may be against common right but not against common reason which is the common Law 8 Ed. 4. 18. 21 Ed. 3. 4. And he intended here that the second custome is good if the first be good for then it is perpetuall Free-hold and Copy-hold Estate of Inheritance is but an Estate at will at the Common Law and yet such Copy-holder may dispose the Trees as well as custome may create the Estate as well may it give such priviledge as custome may warrant the taking of Toll for passing over the soile of another 22 Assise 58. And so custome to have the Foldage of the Beasts which feeds upon his soil is good but custome for paying the Goods of another is not good for there is not any recompence but fishing in the Sea and to dig the soile adjoyning for landing of his Nets is good for this is for the publick good 8 Ed. 4. 23. So the custome for turning upon head-land of another is good and is for the preservation of Tilling and also it is between Lord an Tenant and shall be intended to have a reasonable beginning for consideration c. That this continues for he hath Fines and other Services and yet 3 Eliz. 199. Dyer If the Lord claim Harriot of his Tenant and if it be Esloyned alledge custome that he may take the Beasts that he found upon the Land in Withernam and this was adjudged unreasonable custome so 20 H. 7. 13. Custome to have three shillings of a stranger for pound-breach is void but of a Tenant is otherwise for it shall be intended to be a lawfull beginning 11 H. 7. 40. So here the beginning shal be intended to be lawfull and for valuable consideration and for this it shall be good and to the second custome it follows by consequence to be a good custome if the first should be good and then to the third he agreed that Copyholder cannot make wast and if he do it shall be a forefeiture of his Estate as it is said
is now out of the Statute for the advancement ought to be continuing until the death of the Father And so he saith also it was adjudged in Butler and Bakers Case that if a man devise Socage Lands and after sell to a stranger for good consideration his Lands held by Knights service this devise is now good for all for hee hath not any Land held by Knights service at the time of his death and so he concluded that the devise was good and prayed Judgement for the Plaintiff Houghton Serjeant for the Defendant he thought the contrary and hee argued that before the statutes of 32. and 34. of H. 8. men were disabled to devise any Land and for that they cannot provide for their Wives Children or for payment of their Debts and for remedy to that Feoffments to uses were invented and then to dispose the use by their Wills and then experience finds that to be inconvenient and then the statute of 27. H. 8. transfers the use into possession and then neither use nor land was deviseable without speciall Custome and then this was found to be mischeivous after five years experience and then was the statute of 32. H. 8. made and where by the statute of Marlebridg of those which did enfeoff their begotten sons a Feoffment by the Father to his son and Heir was void for all Now by this statute this is good for 2. parts and void only for the 3d part that for the good of the Lord but as to the party that is good for all as it is agreed in Mightes case 8 Coke Then to consider in the case here if all things concur that the statute requires and to that here is a person which was actually seised of Land held by Knights service in 12. Eliz. So that it is a person which then was having within the statute 2. If here be such conveyance for advancement of his children as is intended within the statute and to that he seemed that so notwithstanding that it may be objected that here is no execution to the youngest children insomuch that it is first limited to such Farmers and Tenants c. But he intended that this is no impediment Secondly also there is a limitation to the use of his last Will. Thirdly also there is a limitation to the use of such persons to whom he devises any estate by his Will But these are no impediments for the last is no other but a devise to himselfe and his heirs and there is not any other person knowne but meerely contingent and it is not like to a remainder limited to the right heirs of I. S. for there the remainder is in Abeiance but here it is only in contingency and nothing executed in Interest till the contingency happen and the not having of a son at the time shall not make difference as in 38. Edw. 3. 26. in formedon in Remainder where the gift was in one for life the remainder to another in tayle remainder in fee to another stranger and he in remainder in tayle dyes without Issue in the life time of the Tenant for life he in remainder in fee may have formedon in remainder without mentioning the remainder in tayle But here he intends that the devise shall be void in respect of the Lands first conveyed which were held in cheife by Knight service for the words of the statute are by act executed either by devise or by any of them and they are conjoyned and it is not of necessity that the time of the Conveyance shall be respected but the time of the value And notwithstanding that the Testator doth not mention any time But in so much as the provision of the statute is to save primor seisin and livery to the King as if the man had 20 l. by year in Socage and one acre in cheife and makes a conveyance of all that it shall be void first to the livery and priâ—or seisin to the third part So if he make conveyance of the 20 l. by yeare and leave the said acre held in cheife to discend and after that purchase other Lands to the value of the third part of all the conveyance of the 20 l. land notwithstanding which for the advancement of his Wife Children or payment of his Debts for he had a full third part at the time of his death which discended And he supposed that the having of a dry reversion depending upon the estate tall is sufficient having within the words and letter of the Statute and yet he agreed the ease put in Butler and Bakers case that if a man devise his Socage Lands and after alien his Lands held in cheife by Knight service to a stranger bonafide this is good So if he had made a reservation of his Lands held in chiefe to himselfe for his life in so much that his estate in that ended with his life and hee remembred the case cyted in Bret and case Comment That if a man devise a Mannor in which he hath nothing and after hee purchaseth it and dyes the devise is good if it be by expresse name But when a man hath disposed of two parts of his Land the Statute doth not inable him to devise the Residue but he hath done all and executed all the authority which the Statute hath given to him But he agreed also that the reversion is not such a thing of value which might make the third part discend to the Heir but it is uncertaine as a hundred and the other things of uncertain value contained in Butler and Bakers Case And also he intended that the remainder could not take effect insomuch that the condition is precedent and it is not found that the eldest Sonne hath aliened and then dead without Heir male and so he concluded and prayed Judgment for the Defendant In Replevin the Defendant avows for 9 s. Rent the Plaintiff pleads a Deed of feoffment of the same Land made before the Statute of quia emptores terrarum by which 6 s. 8 d. is only reserved and demands Judgment if he shall be received to demand more then is reserved by the Deed See 4 Ed. 2. Avowry 202. 10. H. 7. 20. Ed. 4. 7. Edw. 4. Lung 5 Ed. 4. 22 H. 6. 50. This Deed was without date and it was averred that it was made before the Statute of quia emptores terrarum which was made in the 18. of Edw. 1. And also it ought to be averred to be made after the beginning of the Reign of Richard 1. For a writing after the beginning of his Reign checks prescription But if a man hath a thing by grant before that he may claim by prescription for hee cannot plead the grant insomuch it is before time of memory and a Jury cannot take notice of that and for that the pleading before with the said averments was good If debt be due by Obligation and another debt be due by the same Debtor to the same Debtee of
hath the Copy-hold Estate for life in remainder was the question And it was argued by Harris Serjeant that the Estate of Fines in the body of that binds all persons but onely some which have Infirmities and by the saving Rights Titles Claimes and Interests are saved But Title comes in the conditionall perclose of saving that is so that they pursue their Title Claime and Interest c. By way of Act or lawfull Entry within five yeares next after the said proclamations had and made So that in this case the principall matter to be considered is what thing is operated by the acceptance of the Bargaine and Sale for if by that the remainder of the Copy-holder be turned to right then insues that the Fine shall be a Barr And it seemes that this determines the first Estate for life and he agreed that it cannot be a surrender insomuch that there is a mesene remainder as it is 37. H. 6. 17. b. 4. H. 7. 10. But this Lease to commence at a day to come cannot be a surrender but shall be determined and extinct by acceptance of a new Lease as it is there and in 22. H. 7. 51. a. agreed and so it was adjudged in Hillary 30. Eliz. between Wilmottand Cutlers Case that if a Husband which was seised of a Copy-hold Estate in right of his Wife accept an estate for life this determines the copy-hold Estate which he hath in right of his Wife in possession So if Lessee for yeares accept an estate of one which hath no Estate yet this determines his Tearme as it was adjudged Hillary 31. Eliz. Rot. 1428. b. That if Lessee for yeares of a Lease made by the Ancester accept an estate of Guardian in Soccage this determines his Lease which he had of the Ancestor and upon that he concluded that in this case the acceptance of a Bargaine and Sale turnes the Copy-holder in remainder to a Right and then it appeares by Saffins Case 5. Coke 125. That he shall be bound though that he hath only Interest and so of Title also and he said that it appeares by Kite and Quarintons case 4. Coke 26. a. that a Right or Title may be of Copy-hold Estate for it is there said by Wray cheife Justice that it shall be with in the Statute of 32 H. 8. chapter 9. of buying of Titles and so concluded Dodridge the Kings Serjeant agreed that the sole question is if any thing be here done to turn the Copy-hold-Estate in remainder into a right for then he agreed that this shall be barred otherwise not and to that hee intended that the first Estate for life shall be sayd to be in Esse notwithstanding the acceptance of the Bargaine and Sale as to all estrangers and especially when it is to their prejudice as if Tenant grant Rent and after surrenders his estate now between the parties the Lease shall be extinct by the surrender but to the Grantee of the Rent it shall be sayd to be in Esse and if during his life he in Remainder also grants a Rent hee shall hold the Land subject to both the Rents though that the grants be both to one self sameperson so if he in Reversion grants his Reversion with warranty and after the Tenant for life surrenders and the Grantee be impleaded he shall never vouch during the life of the Tenant for life 5 H. 5. Comment 24 Ed. 3. And here also is a custome which preserves the Copy-hold Estate in Remainder and their particular Tenant cannot that prejudice and for that also it shall not be turned into a right as if a Copy-hold Estate be granted to one for life by one Copy and after the Lord grants another Estate for life by another Copy to another and then the first Copy-holder commits forfeiture he which hath the second estate cannot take advantage of that but the Lord shall hold it during the life of the first Tenant for no act made by the particular Tenant shall prejudice him in Remainder for otherwise many Inconveniencies would insue upon that as by secret conveyances or as if a grantee of a Rent charge grant that to the Tenant of the Land for his life the Remainder over the Remainder shall be good notwithstanding that the particular Estate bee extinct and drowned also he intended that the Copy-hold Estate is another thing then the land it self and for that the Fine shall not be a Barr no more then in Smith and Stapletons Case Com. Where a Fine levied of Land shal not be a Barr of Rent insomuch that it is another thing so in this case he intended that the fine shall not be a Barr of the Copy-hold Estate and concluded c. Wynch Justice was of opinion that the Fine shall not be a Barr to the Copy-hold Estate in Remainder for the acceptance of the Bargaine and Sale doth not determine the first Copy-hold Estate for life as to him in Remainder but only to the first Tenant and the Lord and betweene those he agreed that the Copy-hold Estate is determined as in Heydens Case by acceptance of a Lease for years and for that the Remainder shall not be turned to a Right and by consequence shall not be barred and for that he supposed that the reason that the Fine was a Bar in Saffins Case 5 Coke 123. b. was insomuch that the Lessor entered made a Feoffment and after levied a Fine and it is there agreed that the Feoffment turnes the Estate of the Lessee to a Right and for that the Fine shall be a barr and also there the Lease was by limitation of time to have a beginning but if a man makes a Lease for years to begin at a day to come and before the beginning of that makes a Feoffment or is disseised and Fine with proclamation is levyed yet he which hath future Interest shall not be barred for this is not turned to a Right and it was not the intent of the Statute of Fines to make a Barr of right where there was no discontinuance or Estate at least turned to right and this was the cause that at the Common Law Fine with Non-claime was no Barr but where they make alteration of possession and he cited Palmers case to be adjudged that a Fine of Land shall not be a barr for Rent where the case was Lessee for life Remainder for life of Rent The first Lessee for life of the Rent purchaseth Land and levies Fine of that and adjudged that this shall not binde them in Remainder of the Rent no more if he in remainder levy a fine that shall not prejudice the particular Tenant and so he concluded in this case that the Ramainder shall not be barred and that the Plaintiff shall have Judgment Warburton Justice accordingly and he argued that the Statute of Fines containes two parts The first to barr those which have present right and they ought to make their claim within five yeares after the Fine levied or otherwise they
appears by 9 Edw. 4. 33. 37 H. 6. 32 H. 6. 1. Ed. 4. 2. 50. Ed. 3. And he conceived that the burying is not any Administration nor the taking of the goods into his custody to preserve them no more then in Trover and Conversion when a man takes the goods for to preserve them And he agreed that where a man intitles himselfe to goods by Administration committed by any but by the Bishop he ought to pleade specially that he which committed it had power to doe it But here it is not so but only conveiance and for that need not here such precise pleading of that insomuch it is only execution of Administration and for that it is good without intitleing the Arch-Deacon And he agreed that an Executor of his owne wrong may pay Debts due to another and shall be discharged And he agreed also that the Confession of one Executor shall bind his Companion and that Judgement shall be given upon that for the Plaintiff And they all agreed that the pleading that the Defendant hath no goods besides the goods which do not amount c. it was not good and for these causes they all agreed that Judgement ought to be given to the Plaintiff Trinity 10. Jacobi in the Common Bench. Tyrer against Littleton 9. Jacobi Rot. 299. IN Trespasse for taking of a Cow c. Upon not guilty pleaded by the Defendant the Jury gives speciall Verdict as it followes that is that the Husband of the Plaintiff was seised of eighty Acres of Land held of the Defendant by Harriot service that is the best Beasts of every Tenant which died seised that he had at the time of his death and that the Husband of the said Defendant long time before his death made a Feoffment of that Land in consideration of marriage and advancement of his Son to the use of his Son and his Heires with such agreement that the Son should redemise to his Father for forty yeares if he so long lived and that after the marriage was had and the Son redemised the Land to his Father and the Father injoyed that accordingly and paied the Rent to the Lord and after died and that the Plaintiff had no notice of his Feoffment and that the Husband at the time of his death was possessed of the said Cow and that the Defendant took it as the best Beast in name of Harriot and also found the Statute of 13. Eliz. of fraudulent conveiances to deceive Creditors and so praied the direction of the Court and this was agreed by the Plaintiff aforesaid Nicholls Serjeant first that all conveiances made upon good consideration and Bona Fide are by speciall Proviso exempted out of the Statute of 13. Eliz. chap. And he conceived that this is made upon good consideration and Bona Fide and for that it is within the said Proviso and also he said that as upon the Statute of Marlebridge there is fraud apparent and fraud averrable as it appeares 12. H. 4. 16. b. Where in ward the Tenant pleads that his Father levied a Fine to a stranger the Lord replies that this was by Collusion to re-enfeoff the Heire of the Tenant at his full age and so averred that to be by Collusion to out the Lord of his Ward and this is fraud averrable But if the Tenant had enfeoffed his Tenant immediately in Fee-simple this is apparent without any averment and the Court may adjudge upon it And so upon the Statute of 27. Eliz. chap. 4. it appears by Burrells Case that the Fraud ought to be proved in Evidence or confessed in pleading or otherwise this shall not avoid conveiance for it shall not be intended 6 Coke 78. a. and see 33. H. 6. 14. b. Andrew Woodcocks case upon which he inferred that this is but a fraud averrable if it be a fraud at all and of this the Court could not take notice if it be not found by the Jury and he said upon the Statute of 32 H. 8. Of Devisees as it appeares by Knights Case 8 Coke and 12. Eliz. Dyer 295. 8 9 10 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17. And so he concluded and praied Judgement for the Plaintiff Harris Serjeant for the Defendant argued that the Circumstances which are found in the speciall Verdict are sufficient to satisfie the Court that it is fraud for as well as the Court may give direction to the Jury upon Evidence that it is fraud and what not as well may the Court Judge upon the special matter being found by special Verdict at large as in 9 El. Dyer 267. and 268. that is the special matter being found by special verdict at large as in 9 El. Dyer 267. 268. that is the speciall matter is found by Inquisition upon Mandamus and leave to the Court to adjudge if it be fraud or not and in 12 El. 294. and 295. 8. the speciall matter was found by Jury upon Eligit directed to the Sheriffe and by him returned to the Court And in Trinity 27. Eliz. between Saper and Jakes in Trover the Defendant pleades not guilty and gives in Evidence as assignement of a Tearme to him with power of revocation And the Court directed the Jury that this was fraudulent within the Statute of 27. Eliz. to defraud a purchasor and in Burrells Case 6. Coke 73. a. before the fraud to the Court upon Evidence to the Jury and the Court gave direction to the Jury that it was fraud and that upon the Circumstances which appeares upon the speciall Evidence And so in this case he conceived that insomuch the circumstances appear by the Verdict that the Jury may very well adjudge upon it and so he concluded and praied Judgement for the Defendant Coke cheife Justice that the Statute of 13. Eliz. Doth not aid the Defendant insomuch that the Feoffment was made for good consideration and for that shall be within the said Proviso for if that shall be avoided at all that shall be avoided by the Statute of Marlebridge which is ouly affirmance of the Common Law and this is the reason that not withstanding the Statute speakes only of Feoffment by the Father to his Son and Heire apparent yet a Feoffment to a Cosin which is Heire apparent is taken to be within the Statute and in the 24. of Eliz. in Sir Hamond Stranges Case It was adjudged that if the Son and Heire apparent in the life time of his Father purchase a Mannor of his Father for good consideration this is out of the Statute and so it was adjudged in Porredges Case also he said that the Law is an Enemie to fraud and will not intend it being a conveiance made for consideration of a marriage to be fraudulent no more then if the Father had made a Feoffment to the use of a stranger for life the remainder in Fee to his Son and Heire the which is not within the Statute of Marlebridge as it is agreed in Andrew Woodcocks Case 33.
agreed in the 21 H. 7 In Kellawaies Reports by Frowick that there is no difference between Harriot and Releife and Releife shall be extinct and so he concluded that the Harriot is extinct Danyell Justice accordingly and he said that this purchase shall be as strong as release And if the Lord hath released the service intire for part it shall be extinct for all and if Tenant holds by Suite to the court of the Lord and the Lord purchase parcell of the Tenancy the Suit is extinct as it appeares by 27. H. 7. and Fitz. Na. Bre. And so concluded that the Harriot service is extinct by the purchase aforesayd Warburton accordingly And saith that in Littletons Case the Homage and Fealty shall remain for they are personall services and for that shall remaine intire and of Rent shall be an apportionment by the Statute of Westminster 3. De quia emptores terrarum But for other intire services by the purchase of the Lord be they annuall or casuall and they are extinct and 21 Edward 4 was a Suite for a Hawke which was kept back twenty yeares and so for Suit if the Tenants make a feoffment to diverse they shall make but one Suit but they all shall make contribution to the Suit but if the Lord purchase parcell he cannot make contribution And though that the Homage and Fealty are personall services the Horse and Hawke are of the nature of land so the Harriot is of his goods and if the Tenant hath no goods the Lord shall loose it and for that he concluded as above Walmesley accordingly And he said if a Tenant hold by intire services of two Lords and one purchase parcell of the Tenancy all the intire services shall not be extinct but the other Lord which did not purchase shall have them for Res inter alios acta nemini nocere debeat To which Coke cheife Justice agreed and he said if Harriot custome be due peradventure it shall not be extinct by purchase of parcell of the Tenancy for that is personall and it is not Issuing out of land but for intire services which are Issuing out of land he said there is no difference betwixt annuall services and casuall services which are intire and so he concluded as above Coke cheife Justice accordingly and he said there is no difference between annuall intire services and casuall so that they are services to be paid at the death or alteration of every Tenant or otherwise but he said there is no doubt but that Rent service shall be apportioned though that the Lord purchase parcell be that in the Kings case or of a common person and this by the common Law without the aid of any Statute for there is not any Statute that shall aid that if it be not remedied by the Common Law and he said that some Intire services may multiply as if a man holds by payment of a payre of gilt Spurrs or of a Hawke or a Horse or others such like and makes a feoffment of parcell the Feoffee shall hold by the same intire services But if the Tenant hold by personall services as to cover the Table of his Lord or to be his Carver or Sewer at such a Feast or such like these personall services cannot multiply if the Tenant makes a feoffment of part for by this the Lord may be prejudiced for peradventure at his house he will not include them but he may distrain every of them to make the service And he saith the reason for which Knights service shall be apportioned is for that it is for the publick good and for the good of the Common Wealth But so are not the other personall services and in the principall case he conceives that if the Tenant had made a feoffment first to a stranger and after the stranger had infeoffed the Lord that by that all the intire service shall not be extinct for by the feoffment of the estranger was severence of the services and he holds by a Harriot as well as his Feoffor and for that nothing shall be extinct but the Harriot due by that parcell of which the estranger was infeoffed and he agreed with Walmesley that a Harriot custome shall not be extinct where the custome is that every Tenant shall pay a Harriot for there it is paid in respect that he is Tenant and custome shall not be drowned by unity of Tenancy and Signiory And for that he concluded that the Harriot for that that it was intire service though that it were casuall and not annuall that yet it shall be extinct and Judgement was given accordingly Hillary 7. Jacobi 1609. In the Common Bench. Michelborne against Michelborne UPON a motion made for consultation upon Prohibition awarded It was said by the Lord Coke that no Subject of the King may trade with any Realme of Infidells without licence of the King and the reason of that is that he may resinquish the Catholick faith and adhere to Infidelisme and he said that he hath seen a licence made in the time of Ed. 3. where the King recited that he having speciall trust and confidence that his Subject will not decline from his Faith and Religion licenced him ut supra And this did rise upon the recitall of a licence made to a Merchant to trade into the East Indies Hillary 7.

Jacobi 1609. In the Common Bench. Mors against Webbe IN Replevin the case was this A man was seised of two Virgates of Land and prescribed that he and his Ancestors and all those whose Estates he hath in the said Virgates of Land have used to have common in the feilds c. That is when the feilds are fallow all the yeare and when they are sown with Corn or otherwise severall when the Crop is mowed and removed for two Horses four other Beastes and a hundred and twenty Sheep as appertaining to the said two Virgates of Land The Defendant traverseth the prescription and upon this they are at Issue and the Jury found that there is such prescription But further they say that the Plaintiff made a Lease of six Acres parcell of the said two Virgates of Land in one of the feilds of c. with the Common of that thereunto belonging for the Tearme of ten years and the Beastes for which the Replevin was brought were in another feild of c. And if the prescription be suspended or remaines they praied the advise of the Court and it was agreed that common appendant and appurtenant was all one to the severance for if such a Commoner grant parcell of that Land to which the Common
is appurtenant or appendant the Grantee shall have Common Pro Rata but if a commoner purchase parcell of the Land in which he hath Common appurtenant that this extincts all his Common And it was agreed that Common may be appendant to a Carve of Land as it appeares by the 6 Ed. 3. 42. and 3. Assise 2. as to a Mannor but this shall he intended to the Demesnes of the Mannor and so a Carve of Land consists of Land Meadow and Pasture as it appeares by Tirringhams case 4. Coke 37. b. And Common appendant shall not be by prescription for then the Plea shall be intended double for it is of common Right as it appeares by the Statute of Morton chap. 4. And the common is mutuall for the Lord hath Right of Common in the Lands of the Tenant and the Tenant in the Lands of the Lord And it was urged by Nicholls Serjeant that the Common shall be apportioned as if it were Rent and that the Lessee shall have Common for his Lease and then the Lessor hath no Common appurtenant or appendant to the two Virgats of Land and for that the Prescription was not good Coke cheife Justice if it had been pleaded that he had used to have Common for the said Beasts Levant and Couchant upon the said Land there had been no question but it should be apportioned for the Beastes are Levant and Couchant upon every part as one day upon one part and another day upon another part and for that extinguishment or suspention of part shall be of all as if a man makes a Leafe of two Acres of Land rendring Rent and after bargaines and sells the reversion of one Acre there shall be an apportionment of the Rent as well as if it had been granted and attornment And he agreed that if a man have Common appurtenant and purchase parcell of the Land in which he hath Common all the Common is extinct but in this case common appendant shall be apportioned for the benefit of the Plow for as it is appendant to Land Hyde and gain And in the principall case there was common appendant for it was pleaded to be belonging to two Virgats of Land and for commonable Beastes And he conceived also that the prescription being as appertaining to such Land that this shall be all one as if it had been said Levant and couchant for when they are appurtenant they shall be intended to Plow Manure Compester and Feed upon the Land And also he conceived that the right of Common remaines in the Lessor and for that he may prescribe for after the end of the Tearme shall be returned and in the intermin he may Bargain and sell and the Vendee shall have it and shall have common for his Portion And Walmesley Justice agreed to that and that during the Tearme the Lessor shall be excluded of his Common for his proportion Foster Justice agreed and that the possession of the Lessee is the possession of the Lessor but he conceived when the Lessor grants to the Lessee six acres of Land in such a feild where the Land lies and then the Beasts were taken in another feild And so they agreed for the matter in Law and also that the pleading was ill and so confesse and avoid the prescription But upon the traverse as it is pleaded the Jury shall not take benefit of it and Judgement was given accordingly Termino Pasche 7. Jacobi 1609 In the Common Bench. THOU art a Jury man and by thy false and subtill means hast been the Death and overthrow of a hundred men for which words Action upon the case for slander was brought and it seemed to Coke cheife Justice that it did well lye if it be averred that he was a Jury man and so of Judge and Justice for Sermo relatus ad personam intelligo debet de qualitate persone as Bracton saith and in the like Action brought by Butler it was not averred that he was a Justice of Peace and resolved that an Action upon the case doth not lye But Walmesley Justice conceived that an Action doth not lye for one Juror only doth not give the Verdict but he is joyned with his Companions and it is not to be intended that he could draw his Companions to give Verdict against the truth and false and subtill means are very generall Warburton Justice agreed with Coke and conceived that the Action well lies being averred that he was a Jury man as if one calls another Bankrupt Action well lies if it be alledged that the Plaintiff was a Tradesman and it is common speaking that one is a Leader of the Jurors and a man may presume that other Jurors will give Verdict and may take upon him the knowledge of the Act. Walmesley conceived that the Action did not lye for that the words are a hundred men which is impossible and for that no man will give any credit to it and for that it is no slander and for that Action doth not lye no more then if he had sayd that he had kild a thousand men But Coke Warburton Daniell and Foster agreed that the number is not materiall for by the Words his malice appears and for that they conceived that the Action doth well lye Pasch 7.
