WAst war brought by Constance Foster Wast and another against Lessee for years in effect the case was such A man makes a Lease of certain Lands 44 Ed. 3. 34. b. 46 Ed. 3. 22. 28 Hen. 8. 19. a. excepting all manner of Woods the Lessee cuts down Trees and he in Reversion brings an Action of Wast and by the opinion of the Court the Lessee is not punishable in Wast for they were never let and therefore the Plaintif is driven to his Action of Trespass at the Common Law 2. THe Sherif returneth in a Writ of Right four Esquires to make the pannel Return and doth not say that there be any Knights it was sayd by the Court that he ought to return them which be and that there be no more 3. WAst was brought for digging in Land Wast and taking away Okes the Defendant pleaded in bar That the Queen by her Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England granted unto him that he might dig for Mines of Cole in the Land and prayed that it might be entred verbatim and a Grant under the Seal of the Exchequor was entred whereupon the Plaintif Demurred Now came Walmisley and would have amended it and by the opinion of the Court he cannot amend it after the Demurrer be entred Demurrer but Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif if he shew no other matter 4. A Man seised of Lands in Fee Devise and sale by Executors Deviseth to his Wife for life the Remainder to his Son in tayl and if his Son dye without issue of his body that then the Land shall be sold by his Executors and maketh two Executors and dyeth the Wife dyeth one Executor dyeth the Sonne dyeth without issue the other Executor selleth the Land and Gawdy the Queens Serjeant moved whether the sale be good or no and it seemeth to him that the sale is good and vouched the Case in 30 Hen. 8. Brook Devise 31. And now lately it was adjudged in the Kings-bench where a man did Devise his Lands in tayl and for default of such issue that the Land shall be sold by his Sonnes-in-law and dieth having five Sonnes-in-law the one dyed the others sold the Land and this was adjudged a good sale Anderson It seemeth the sale is not good for if one make a Letter of Attorney to two to make Livery and Seisin Livery if the one dye the other cannot doe it So if one grant the Office of Stewardship to two the one of them cannot hold Court alone Stewardship And if one of them may sell to what intent was the Statute of 21 Hen. 8. cap. 4. that those which take the Administration may sell Windham The Statute will not prove the case but it seemeth the sale to be naught And there is a difference where one giveth an interest to two and when he giveth but an authority Interest for an interest may survive but an authority cannot Authority Rodes to the same intent and cited M. 4 Eliz. fol. 219. a. 177. 210. 371. 5.

the Court the exception si pro eisdem duabus partibus made the Plea evill without question and therefore gave judgement for Windham that he should have Attornment but they said nothing to the other points 10. SHuttelworth came to the Bar Verdict and shewed how an Ejection firm was brought of an entry into certain Lands the Defendant pleaded not guilty and thereupon the Jury found that he entred into one moity and not into the other and this he alleged in Arrest of Judgement Anderson It seemeth that Judgement shall not be given for this is an Action personall and is not like to a Praecipe quod reddat Rodes It seemeth the contrary by 21 Edw. 4. fol. 16. b. fol. 22. see there the case intended Anderson The cases are not alike 11. IN the Exchequor Chamber before all the Justices c. the case was such John Capell gave the Mannor of How-Capell and Kings-Capell in the County of Hereford to Hugh Capell in tayl the remainder to Rich. Capell in tayl with divers remainders over the Donor dieth Hugh hath issue William and dieth Richard grants a rent charge of fifty pound to Antony his son William selleth the Land to Hunt by fine and recovery with Voucher and dieth without issue Antony distreineth for Arrearages and the Tenant of Hunt brings a Replevin and A. avows the taking whereupon the Plaintif demurs in Law Fenner It seemeth that the Avowant shall have Return and first I will not speak much to that which hath been agreed here before you that a Remainder may be charged well enough for by the Statute the Remainder is lawfully invested in Richard and I agree well that no Formdone in a Remainder was at the Common Law and so are our Bookes in 8 Ed. 2. and Fitzh in his Nat. brev saith that it is given by the equity of the Statute At the Common Law there was no Formdone in discender now it is given by the Statute of Westminster 2 cap. 1. For in novo casu erit novum remedium apponendum And I have taken it for Law that when a thing is once lawfully vested in a man Lawful vesture it shall never be devested without a lawfull Recovery and here the Recovery doth not touch the Rent and I think that allthough the Remainder was never executed in possession yet the Grantee of the Rent shall confess and avoyd it well enough The Fine is not pleaded here with proclamation and therefore it is but a bare discontinuance in proof whereof is the case in 4 of Ed. 3. Tenant in tayl makes a discontinuance Distress per grantee before entrie of the grantor yet he in Reversion may distrein for his service And if there be Tenant for life the Reversion to a stranger and he in Reversion grant a Rent charge Tenant for life is disseised and dye the Grantee of the Rent shall distrein allthough that he in Reversion will never enter And so if Tenant in tayl the Remainder to the right heirs of I. S. make a Feoffment in Fee upon the death of the Tenant in tayl without issue Droit heir de I. S. the right heir of I. S. shall enter well enough And he put Plesingtons case in 6 R. 2. Fitzh quod juris clamat 20. 8 R. 2. Fitzh Annuity 53. And the case in Littleton Dyer fol. 69. a. pl. 2. 22 Ed. 3. fol. 19. One grant a Rent charge to another upon condition that if he dye his heir within age Rent ch sur cond that the Rent shall cease during the minority yet his Wife shall recover her Dower when the heir cometh to full age Dower Perk. 327 Which cases prove that allthough the estate whereupon the grant is be in suspence when the grant ought to take effect yet the grant shall take effect well enough and if Tenant in tayl and he in remainder had joyned this had been good clearly And 8 Ed. 3. 43 Ed. 3. Tenant in tayl to hold without service the remainder to another to hold by service if Tenant in tayl in this case had suffered a Recovery and dyed without issue I think the Lord in this case shall distrein for the service then I suppose that the fine in the principall case shall not exclude the Grantee from his rent for there is a difference between jus in terra Jus in terra Prox. advoc and jus ad terram for I think that no fine shall defeat jus in terra and 26 H. 8. fol. 3. a. b. if I grant you proximam advocationem and after suffer the Advowson to be recovered the Grantee shall falsifie in a Quare impedit Then whether this recovery shall avoyd the rent or no and I think no for this case differs and now the recovery is had against Tenant in tayl for the remainder here is out of him by the fine and in the Coniâ—ee and the recovery doth not disprove the interest before for 8 Hen. 4. fol. 12. recovery against Tenant in tayl who dieth before execution sued And 44 Ed. 3. recovery of the rent is not a recovery of the homage Rent homage unless it be by title And here there is not any recompense to him in the remainder and therefore there will be a difference in this case and where there is a recompense Annuity for Tithes fol. 7. Hen. 6. if a person grant an Annnity for Tithes Nomine paenae it is good but if there be a nomine paenae it is not good and 7 lib. Ass an Annuity granted untill he be promoted to a benefice Promotion to a benefice it ought to be of as great value as the Annnity and 26 Edw. 3. the Church ought not to be ligitious and 22 Ed. 3. two men seised in Fee-simple exchange for their lives c. and 14 Hen. 4. the King may grant a thing which may charge his people without Rent for a release c. And 44 Ed. 3. rent granted for a release by Tenant in tayl is good and shall bind and charge his issue And so he seemeth that the Avowant shall have return Walmisley to the contrary For first it hath been held that the charge at the beginning is good and so I hold the Law bnt how Charge contingent or in what manner that is the question 38 Ed. 3. If Tenant for life be and he in reversion grant a rent charge it is good but it shall be quando acciderit 33 lib. Ass 5 Ed. 4. fol. 2 b. But this case is out of the Books remembred for there the remainder nunquam accidit and therefore shall never be charged for as I hold when he in remainder chargeth he chargeth his future possession and not his present interest Sci fa. de rem View for if a Sci. fa. should issue to execute this remainder he shall demand the Land and before the remainder falleth he hath but quasi jus Attornment al rent ch
me for the reason wherefore he shall be barred is because the recompence goeth according to the Estate which the Wife had and then it is reason that he shall be barred but in the same case if the Husband survive it is said in the same Book that the Issue shall be at large for that the recompence goeth to the Survivor but let it be as it may be the reason of the case is for the recompence And I think Com. 5. 14. that this case here will be proved by Snowes case in the Commentaries Recovery had against Husband and Wife where the Wife had nothing all the recompence shall be to the Husband 10 Edw. 3. Dower brought against husband and wife Dower and the husband vouch to warranty c. 38 Ed. 3. Praecipe against Tenant in tayl 8 Eliz. in Dyer fol. 252. where the husband was tenant for life the remainder to the wife in tayl the remainder in fee to a stranger and a recovery suffered and about 15 El. was a case in the Exchequer where lands were given to Norrice and his wife and to the heirs of the body of Norrice Remainder the remainder in fee to a stranger and a recovery suffered against Norrice he in remainder was attainted and Norrice and his wife were dead before and by the opinion of Sanders then chief Baron Recompences the moity shall be forfeit by the atteynder And recompences are but as exchanges Exchange executed and Bracton calleth them Excambia and I think if an exchange be executed in the one part and not in the other it is not good and so I think the recovery shall be no bar 8. IN a Writ of Dower brought Joynture Gawdy Serjeant shewed how that the husband of the demandant had given certain lands to her in lieu of her Joynture upon condition that she should make her election with in three moneths after his death and she made her election to have the Joynture and now she had brought her Writ of Dower against the heir by covin Covin and he hath confessed the Action to the intent that Thynne who had a lease for yeares of the first husband should lose his term and prayed ayd of the Court. Fleetwood for the demandant There is not any such Joynture as you speak of for that which was given to the wife was but a lease for yeares and that you know cannot bar her of her Dower Rodes Justice If the case be so then is there no cause to bar her of her Dower for a lease for years cannot be a Joynture Ease for years Quod Peryam concessit clearly and sayd that the Joynture ought to be a freehold at the least or otherwise it is no bar to the Dower whereby Gawdy moved another matter De Term. Mic. An. Reg. Eliz. xxviij xxix 1. AN Action upon the case was brought for calling the Plaintif false perjured Knave Jeofayle the Defendant justified because the Plaintif had sworn in the Exchequer that the Defendant had refused to pay the Subside where in truth he had notso done The Plaintif replyed de injuriâ— sua propria absque tali causa the Action was brought in London and there it was tryed for the Plaintif and great damage found and this matter was alleged in Arrest of Iudgement because the triall was in London whereas the Perjury was supposed to be made in the Exchequer Triall locall The Court said that the matter is tryable in both Counties and it was answered again London cannot joyn that London cannot joyn with any other County Anderson Then is your Issue vitious for when an Issue is tryable by two Counties if they cannot joyn then ought you to make such an Issue as may be tryed by one onely And by all the Court this ought to have been tryed in Middlesex for there the Perjury is supposed to be committed whereupon the Issue is taken Peryam to the Serjeant of the Plaintif See if you be not ayded by the Statute of Jeofayles Walmisley It hath been allwayes taken that if the triall be evill it is not ayded by the Statute of Jeofayles Peryam Then are ye without remedy for you shall have no judgement Et sic fuit opinio Curiae 2. GAwdy came to the Bar Joyntenancy and shewed how a man devised his lands to his two Sons Partition and their heirs and they had made partition by word without writing 18 Eliz. 350. Tota Curâ—a What question is there in it the partition is naught without doubt Rodes It hath been adjudged here that if the partition be of an estate of inheritance it is not good by paroll Joyntenant by devise Gawdy But I think that when a man deviseth his lands to his eldest Son and his youngest Son in my opinion they are Tenants in common because the eldest son shall take it by descent Peryam But I think not so for if a man make a gift in tayl to his eldest son Devise in tayl of an heir the remainder in fee c. Is not he in by the devise Gawdy This is another case Peryam In my case he shall take by the devise for the benefit of the issues and in your case he shall it take by the devise for the benefit of the survivor and therefore I think that they are Joyntenants Anderson There is but small doubt but that they shall be Joyntenants and there is authority for the case And this at length was the opinion of the whole Court 3. IN an Action of Debt for Rent Apportionment it was sayd by Anderson If a man make a lease of years reserving rent and the Lessee for years make a feoffment in fee of parcell of the land the rent shall be apportioned 4. FEnner came to the Bar Alien and sayd to Anderson that in his absence he had moved this case An Alien born purchaseth Lands and before office found the Queen by her Letters Patents maketh him a denison and confirms his estate the question is who shall have the lands Anderson The question is if the Queen shall have the lands of an Alien before office found Fenner True it is my Lord. Anderson I think they are not in the Queen before office and then the confirmation is good Rodes It seemeth that he shall take it onely to the use of the Queen Neis purchase lands and then the confirmation is voyd Fenner In 33 lib. Ass is this case If the Neise of the King purchase lands and takes a husband who hathâ— issue by her and she dye he shall be tenant by the curtesie Anderson and all the Court denied that case of the Neise Fenner I have heard lately in the Exchequer that an English man and an alien purchased lands joyntly Joynt purchase by an alien and the alien dyed it was adjudged that the other should have all by surviving Anderson and all the Court Surely this cannot be Law
the Land should pass by this words Appurtenances For allthough that in late Books Lands shall not pass by this word Appurtenances yet this is good authority to prove that they shall pass as 7 Hen. 5. 41. T. 21 Ed. 3. 18. Allso Wills shall be taken by meaning and here upon this devise 4. l. Rent is reserved and the antient Rent is but 45. s and if the Land should be racked it is all worth but v. l. a year and because they are held in Capite therefore by the Statute we shall have but two parts And it cannot be intended that it was his meaning to have us pay 4. l. for the Lands in Ebney Valew wich are not worth so much therefore somtime the valew is considerable in a Will and cited 4 Ed. 6. 7 Ed. 6. and so he thought the Plaintif ought to recover And at this time the Court seemed to be of the same opinion for they gave day over to the Defendant at which day if nothing were said Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif 4. GAwdy prayed Judgement in an Action of Trespass by Hambledon against Hambledon Survivor the case was such H. was seised in Fee and had issue Mic. 29. 30 three Sonnes Eliz. râ—t 2325. John VVilliam now Plaintif and Richard now Defendant And by his last Will devised Lands to Iohn and to the Heirs Males of his body ingendred and devised other Lands to William in like sort and other Lands to Richard in like sort And that if any of his Sonnes died without issue Male that then the Survivor shall be each others Heir Afterwards the eldest died without issue Male And if William shall have all his part alone or else he and Richard between them was demurred in Law and day was given over to argue it 5. WAlmisley shewed how an Action was brought by Berdsley against Pilkington Impounding upon the Statute of 2 3 P. Mary for driving a Distress out of the County And shewed the truth of his case that the Distress was taken in the Hundred of Offlay in Staffordshire and the City of Lichfield was sometime within this Hundred And by Letters Patents of 1 Mariae the City was made a County of it self and he which took the Distress impounded them within a pound in the County of the City of Lichfield now whether he hath incurred the penalty of the Statute or no was the question And because the Court had not a Statute Book there to see the Preamble therefore they would give no resolution Anderson The meaning of the Statute was because the Bailif of the Hundred might make deliverance Allso I think it is within the compass of the Statute because the City was a County severed before this Statute made And the Serjeants at the bar said Same Hundred that the party may drive the Distress as far as he will within the same Hundred but he ought not to drive it above three miles without the Hundred 6. IOhn Slywright exhibited an information upon the Statute Champerty for buying of Titles Pasch 30. Eliz. rot 1532. against Page and declared how Joane Wade demised to Page for 60 yeares the Defendant pleaded not guilty And now a Jury of Sussex appeared at the bar And upon Evidence it was moved â—if a man have a lawfull Title to enter into Lands Lawfull title but hath not been in Possession and he entreth and makes a Lease for yeares thereof if this be within compass of the Statute Anderson It is within the Statute for the mischief was that when a man had a Title to Land he would let it to another to have maintenance and imbracery and make contentions and Suites for remedy whereof the Statute was made For if a man have a Title he may recover according to his Title Recovery Peryam The mischief hath been truly recited and therfore it is reason to restrain such bargains But if a man Recover by Formdon or Cessavit and make a Lease this is not within compass of the Statute A pretended Right allthough that he hath not been in Possession by a year and in my opinion the Plaintif need not prove that it is a pretented Right because the Statute expoundeth what is a pretented Right viz. if he hath not been in possession And so I have delivered my opinion before this time Anderson If a man hath not been in Possession and cometh to me and saith that he will make me a Lease and demands if I will take it and I agree thereto whereby he maketh me this Lease Ignorance if I do not know that he hath not been in possession I am not within the Statute And then the Defendant shewed that he was brother of the halfblood to the Wife of the Lessor whereby he might take the Lease well enough For Fleetwood cited 6 Ed. 3. if one brother maintain the other this is not within the Statute of Champerty which case the Court agreed this is for speciall cause vide statut de articulis super cartas Maintenance Champerty Difference Anderson One brother may travell for another and maintain him but if he take a Lease of him he is within the Statute of 32. Hen. 8. for this is a generall mischief and the mischief is as great if the brother take a Lease as if another take it The case quod Periam coucessit clearly but because it was the case of the Defendant the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. that the Lands were conveyed by the Husband of Joane Wade to the use of himself and his Wife in Tail-speciall the Remainder to the Husband in generall-generall-Tail the Remainder to the Wife in Fee and after the Husband Enfeoffed diverse men thereof and the Feoffees continued in Possession diverse years After the Husband died and then the Wife by indenture sealed and delivered of the Land made a Lease to Page which knew all this matter Knowledge from the fift day of Jenuary last past for 60 years if the Wife should live so long and that the Wife was Sister to Page the Defendant by the Mother and found the valew of the Land as if it should be sold and they prayed the advise of the Court c. And the morow after the like information being brought against the woman being Lessor the like Evidence was given and the like case found 7. FEnner moved this case to the Court. Recovery An Alien born purchaseth Lands in Tail the Remainder to a stranger in Fee The Alien suffereth a Common Recovery to his own use in Fee And after an Office is found of all this matter if the Remainder shall be to him which had it before or no was the question Anderson I think the Queen shall have a good Fee-simple Tenant sufficient to the praecipe for if there be a good Tenant to the praecipe then is the Remainder gone and you will not deny but that
Plaintif was non suit And it was now moved whether the Plaintif ought to have a new venire facias upon the first issue insomuch as the first venire facias did not issue forth upon the first Record and no non suit Et opiniâ— Curiae that he may go to a new triall but whether he shall have a venire facias de novo or that the old venire facias should serve the Court doubted for that the first Jury was sworn 38. FOrd brought an Action of Debt against Glanvile and his Wife Administratrix bonorum Catellorum qua fuerunt Johannis S. durante minore aetate T. S. Abatements The Defendant pleaded that hanging this action against them the said T. S. during whose nonage the Wife was Administratrix came to full age and if this were a good Plea or no was the question And adjudged a good Plea 39. UPon an information against Sr. Christopher Blunt a Juror was challenged for want of Free-hold Free-hold of a Juror and by examination was found that he had 20 shillings a year Fenner and Gawdy doubted whether this be sufficient Free-hold or not Popham and Clinch held it is sufficient for the Statute binds not the Queen and by the Common law if he had any Free-hold it was sufficient Fenner This is a Statute made for the benefit of the Common-wealth and therefore the Queen shall be bound by it though she be not named in it Gawdy Me thinks every Juror ought to have 40. s Free hold at the least by the Common-Law No bill of enception against the Queen Cook No certainly and if they doe take the Law to be so they may have a bill of exception Tanfield Wee cannot have a bill of exception against the Queen see the Statute of 1 Hen. 5. cap. 3. that that is between party and party and the Statute of 8 Hen. 6. the preamble is between party and party But Popham commanded the Jury to be sworn but Gawdy would have sent to the Justices of the Common Pleas for their opinion but the Juror was sworn by Commandment of Popham against the opinion of Justice Fenner 40.

REdfrein agaiust I. S. an Action of the case was brought for words Slander viz. I was robbed and you were privy thereunto and had part of my money It was pleaded in arrest of Judgement that the words will not maintain an Action For that a man may be privy to a robbery after that it is made and have part of the money by honest meanes and therefore it is no slander but the whole Court held the contrary Infected Smell of robbery as well as you are infected with a robbery and smell of the same will maintain an Action so will these words therefore Judgement was given for the Plaintif 43. MEggs against Griffyth brought an Action for these words Slander viz. A woman told me that she heard say that Meggs Wife poysoned her Husband in a mess of milk and Judgement given for the Plaintif 44. REvell against Hart A Parsons Lease the case was upon the Statute of 13 Eliz. of Leases made by a Parson Serjeant Harris A Lease made by a Parson is not void against the Parson himself no more than a Lease made by a Bishop which is not void against the Bishop himself as was judged in the case of the Bishop of Salisbury Fenner The Law is as you said in a case of a Bishop but the case of a Parson percase will differ Popham If Rent be reserved Rent reserved it is good against the Parson himself otherwise not Clinch and Gawdy It is good against the Parson himself 45. WInch brought a Writ of Error against Warner Space in the roll upon a Judgement in a Writ of Debt in the Common place upon Arrerageâ— upon an account and it was assigned for Error for that the Plaintif in the Common place The emparlance roll is the Warrant in the first Declaration left a space for the day and year And after imparlance he put in a new Declaration which was perfect But for that the two Declarations did not agree and the first Declaration is the Warrant of all and therefore ought to be perfect therefore the Judgement ought to be Reversed for this default 46.

WIldgoose versus Wayland in Cancellar Notice of trust This question arose If A. be seised upon trust and confidence to the use of B. and his Heirs and A. selleth the land to one that hath notice of the trust to whose use shall the Vendee be seised Also it was moved if before the sale one come to the Vendee say to him take heed how ye buy such land for A. hath nothing in that but upon trust to the use of B. and another comes to the Vendee and saith to him It is not as he is informed for A. is seised of this land absolutely by which the Vendee buyeth the land if this first Caveat given to him ut supra be a sufficient notice of the trust or not And the Lord Keeper sayd it is not for flying-reports are many times fables and not truth and if it should be admitted for a sufficient notice then the Inheritance of every man might easily be slandered Notice of Forgery Cook It was holden in Bothes case in the Starchamber that if a man sayd to another take heed how you publish such a Writing for it is forged and notwithstanding the party doth publish it this is a sufficient notice to the publisher that the Deed was forged And upon that the Lord Popham at the same time put this case Notice of Felony If one say to me take heed how you entertain or receive A. B. for he hath committed such a Felony and I giving no credit to the report receive the party where in truth he had committed the Felony now I am accessary to this Felony To which the Lord Keeper answered that he would not draw blood upon such an opinion 68. IF a man make a Lease reserving Rent to the Lessor Reservation of Rent if he say no more the Rent shall goe but to the Lessor but if it be reserved generally and doe not say to whom it shall goe as well to the Heir of the Lessor as to the Lessor himself Per Gawdy 69. IT was sayd by Fell Hue and Cry an Attorney of the Kings-bench that it hath been adjudged in the same Court that an Action upon the Statute of Hue and Cry against Inhabitants of any Hundred will never lye by Bill but ought to be sued by Writ and the reason is for that the Action is brought against Inhabitants which are a multitude and for that may not be in custodia Marescalli as another private person may 70. A Judgement was had in an Action of Debt of 80 l. And the Plaintif had a Fieri facias Capias after a Fieri sacias executed for parcell and the Sherif levyed 20 l. of the goods of the Defendant and retorned that of Record but non constat by the Record whether the Plaintif had received the 20 l. or not and the Plaintif took forth a Cap. ad satisfaciend for the whole Execution being 80 l. and upon that the Defendant was Utlawed and now he brought a Writ of Error to reverse that Utlary which was reversed for that it did appear upon Record that execution was made by Fieri fac of 20 l. of the 80 l. and therefore the Cap. ad satisfaciend should have been but 60 l. 71. IF the Husband sell his land by Fine Claim of Dower with Proclamations and live five years and after dye his Wife being sole of full age of sound memory out of prison and within the four Seas and doe not make any demand or claim of her Dower within five years after the death of her Husband she shall be barred 72. A Feofment was made before the Statute of 27. to the use of a Man and Woman unmarried Moities in Tail and of the Heires of their two bodies begotten and after they intermarried and after marriage the Husband bargained and sold all the land in fee to one of his Feoffees and died without issue and after the Statute of 27 was made the Wife claymed the whole by Survivor as Tenant in tayl after possibility of issue extinct And by the opinion of all the Court without argument she can have but the Moity because the Husband and Wife had Moities as Joyntenants by reason of the Joyntenancy made before marriage And yet by the Court as to the issue in tail if any had beeen he shall have a Formdon of the whole 73. IF Land be holden of a Subject Tenure and Wardship extinct and the Tenant sells the land by Fine with Proclamations to I. S. in tail the Remainder to her Majesty in fee The Tenant in tail dyes his Issue within age The Opinion of the Court was that the Issue shall not be in ward to the Subject if the Queen do not assent to her Remainder for that the tenure and services are gone and extinct by the Fee simple to the Queen which may hold of none And so the issue in tail shall be in ward to none 74. IF a man have goods to the value of 100l and is indebted in 20l. and he deviseth and bequeatheth to his Wife by his Testament the moity of all his goods to be equally divided between her and his Executors Legacy of a moity of all his goods and make his Executors and dieth And the Executors pay the 20l. yet the Wife shall have the moity of the whole estate viz. 50l without any defalcation so that the Executors have Assets besides 75. IN a Prohibition and the Case was this Benefield against Feek Tithe of Saffron the Farmor of a Parsonage sued in he Spirituall Court for Tithes of Saffron against a Vicar The Vicar pleaded that time out of memory of man the Vicar and his predecessors have had the Tithe of all Saffron growing within the parish A Prohibition for the Plaâ—ntif in the Spirituall Court upon his own lihell The Plaintif pleaded that the land where the Saffron was growing this year by the space of 40 yeares next before had been sown with Corn whereof the Parson and his predecessors have had the Tithe And the Spirituall Court would not allow this Plea For which the partie prayed a Prohibition Tanfield The right of the Tithe commeth in question between the Parson and Vicar Howbeit that the Farmor be made partie to the suit and for that the right of Tithes being in question between two Spirituall men Suit between persons spirituall This Court hath no Jurisdiction And this very point was adjudged 30. Eliz. inter Hunt and Bush in this Court that in such
Priority which is not corporall neither ought it to be put in view in Assise and 21 Hen. 6. a. Tenant of the Land shall Attorn upon the grant of a rent charge and 33 Ed. 3. Priority shall hold place when the remainder falleth and not when it is granted 17 Ed. 2. and Dyer Tr. 23 Eliz. pl. 1. Then Sir when the foundation out of which the rent is issuing is gone the rent is allso gone and therefore let us see what authority Tenant in tayl hath in the remainder At the Common Law there was no Formdone in descender or remainder and the Statute of W. 2. cap. 1. provides but for two persons viz. he in reversion and the issues but Formdone in remainder is taken by the equity 50 Ed. 3. If Tenant for life be the remainder in tayl to another the remainder in fee to the Tenant for life and he makes wast Wast Bargain de remain Tenant in remainder shall punish him and Fitzh nat br fol. 193. a. Cui in vita by a wife which was Tenant in tayl upon the alienation of her husband And I think that if he in remainder bargain his remainder that it is voyd and he cannot grant to another that he shall dig in the soyl for by 2 Hen. 7. he in reversion cannot doe so 12 Ed. 4. Recovery suffered shall bind the issue 7 Ed. 3. no attaint lieth for him in remainder of a verdict given against Tenant for life Nul attaint pur tenant in rem then in this case he in remainder cannot enter and the Grantee shall not be in a better estate than his Grantor and then if he shall never enter frustra est illa potentia qua nunquam reducitur in actum The reason for the grant is good for when Tenant in tayl dyeth without issue he in remainder shall be in by the first gift in proof whereof is 33 Hen. 6. he in remainder shall be in ward Ward and in 11 Hen. 4. in Formdone in descender Formdone he shall say that the possession was given to his father Prebendary And a Prebendary cannot charge before induction Ioyntenants But if two Jointenants be and the one charge all and the other disclaimeth the charge is good from the beginning And the Recoverer here is not under the charge for allthough he hath that estate which he in remainder should have if Tenant in tayl had not aliened yet is he a meer stranger and in by another title 10 Ed. 3. If two Jointenants be Charge per Ioyntenant and the one charge this is good conditionally that he which chargeth shall survive And if Tenant pur auter vie charge and die occupans shall hold it discharged So in this case for he is not in of this possession Moreover there is a mischief if this charge be good for then the Land may be charged by two severall persons at once which shall not be suffered but yet if cestui que use charge and the Feoffees charge both are good for the one is by the Common Law Charge per cest que use Feoffees 28 Ed. 3. 10. b. and the other by the Statute Law So if Lessee for years charge and he in reversion charge and after Lessee for years surrender but this is in severall respects and I put this case for Law Ch. per lessee per enreversion that if he in the remainder bind himself in a Statute Merchant Stat. Merch. per test en rem ne charge le poss this shall not charge the possession And if in this case he will grant the rent over none ought to Attorn and therefore voyd and Littleton saith that he in remainder shall not falsifie No attornment Falsifying and 26 Hen. 8. the Grantee of lessee for years shall not falsifie for the nature of falsifying is properly to find a fault wherefore it should not be good and what fault can he find in this case surely none Successor lie per confession 4 Hen. 7. 1. a. 20 Hen. 6. Abbot confesseth an Action the Successor is bound And further it is within the Statute of 27 El. for fraudulent deeds and we need not to plead the covin for the Statute is generall Fraudulent faits and vouched Wimbish case in the Comentaries and so the Replevin is maintainable And after at the motion of the Justices the Defendant agreed that the Plaintif should amend his Plea and allege the Covin Et adjornatur untill Michaelmas Term following because there were so many Demurrers hanging to be argued in Trinity Term next But afterwards judgement was given against the Rent charge 12. KIng Hen. 8. gave certain lands to Sir Edward Bainton Trespass Knight and to the heirs males of his body engendred who had issue Andrew and Edward and dyed Andrew afterwards convenanted with the Lord Admirall Thomas Seymer that he would convey an Estate of those Lands to himself for life the remainder to the Lord Seymer in Fee and in like manner the Lord Seymer convenanted to convey an Estate of other Lands to himself for life the remainder to Andrew Bainton in Fee Afterwards Andrew Bainton levyed a Fine and executed the estate according to the covenant on his part Afterwards the Lord Seymer before performance of the covenant on his part was attainted of High Treason and all his Lands forfeited to King Edward the sixth who dyed without issue and the Lands descended to Queen Mary to whom Andrew Bainton sued by Petition and shewed how she had those Lands to the disinherison of him and his heirs and Queen Mary by her Letters Patents ex certa scientia ex merâ— motu c. granted to Bainton all those Lands and Tenements which he had covenanted to convey to the Lord Seymer and all reversions thereof in as ample manner as she had them Et ulterius ex uberiori gratia sua she granted all reversions claims and demands qua ad manus suas devenerunt ratione c. aut in manibus suis existunt aut existere deberent Afterwards Andrew Bainton levyed a Fine of those Lands to one Segar in Fee and dyed without issue then Edward Bainton entred and Segar brought his Action of Trepass Puckering It seemeth that the entry of Edward Bainton is congeable and so the Action not maintainable First let us see what passeth by this Grant of Queen Mary to Andrew Bainton and then whether a Fine levyed by Tenant in tayl the reversion being in the Queen be a bar to the tayl by the Statute of 4 Hen. 7. The first Fine as it is pleaded is not pleaded with proclamations and therefore but a discontinuance and remains but as at the Common Law At the Common Law before the Statute of Dâ—nis conditionalibus a Fine levyed was a bar to all men for all Inheritances were Fee simples then by that Statute it was ordained Quod neque per factum neque feofamentum of the Tenant
in tayl the issue should be barred After which Statute as I intend the Law was such that when Tenant in tayl levied a Fine of such a thing as he might discontinue and the Fine executed in possession allthough the words of the Statute were Ipso jure sit nullus yet the issue was put to his Formdone but if it were a Fine Executory then by the death of the Tenant in tayl the issue was remitted and the Fine voyd But now by the Statute of 4 Hen. 7. the Law is made otherwise and for that here it is to be granted that he cannot discontinue the estate tayl because the reversion is in the King as it was now lately adjudged in the Exchequer in the case of Gillebrand ergo here the estate doth not pass to the Feoffees by the first Fine when he took an estate again to himself for life the remainder to the Lord Seymer in Fee but a Fee simple determinable then when the Lord Seymer was attainted Queen Mary had such an estate as the Lord Seymer had which was a Fee determinable and she had another Fee absolute in jure Coronae After when he sued by Petition he did not shew to the Queen what estate he had nor what estate the Queen had but that it was to the disinherision of him and his heirs then the Queen grants reversionem inde adeo plene libere integre as she had it or as it came to her by the Act of Parliament And I think when the Queen gives by generall words she doth not give any special Prerogative And for that 8 Hen. 4. fol. 2. A grant to the Bishop of London to have catalla c. and 9 Eliz. 268. in Dyer the case of the Dutchy of Cornwall 8 Hen. 6. the King pardons all Felonies this is no pardon of the Outlawry and especially when the Queen hath two interests it shall be construed beneficially for the Queen as 9 Edw. 4. Grant of an Office where the Grantee was no denison see there Baggots Assise and 38 Hen. 6. the King grants Land to J. S. for the life of himself and J. D. and after grants the reversion upon the life of one of them And further the case in Dyer where Queen Mary grants in Manerium de Bedminster in Com. Somerset 5. 13 El. fol. 306. a. Then Sir the Patent is that the Queen intendens dare congruum remedium in praemissis c. and when he iueth to the Queen by Petition Petition certain all titles ought to be in the Petition 3 Hen. 7. 1 H. 7. a Latin case the case of the corody and this is in nature of a Petition therfore ought to be certain then the Patent is Et ulterius ex uberiori gratia sua concessit omnes reversiones quae ad manus suas devenerunt ratione actus Parliamenti c. aut in manibus suis existunt vel existere deberent c. and they are not to be expounded so largely as to make the reversion to pass for if those words ratione c. were before admanus suas c. or after in manibus suis existunt then it cannot be intended but the reversion shall not pass to Bainton Now when in manibus suis existunt come after these words References ratione c. for references are to be intended according to the meaning of the parties Devise 29 lib. Ass 14 Eliz. Dyer Devise of all Acres except a Lease for 30 years And those words aut existere deberent ought to have some relation ergo it ought to be intended quae in manibus suis existunt ratione attincturae c. and this will not make any grant of the reversion For the meaning of the Queen was because Bainton had no recompense of the other Lands No use to give him these for no use was in him by the covenant of Seymer as it is agreed 1 Maria fol. 96. so nothing passed but that which was in the Queen by reason of the atteynder of Seymer For the other matters I think that A. Baynton is not Tenant in tayl by the grant again but admit him so yet he cannot discontinue neither is he bound by the Statute of 4 Hen. 7. for the Statute doth not extend but to such things which are touched by the Fine things which are not touched doe not pass as Commons Rents Wayes Claim per lessee purâ—ans alit postea si soit en post c. Br. Fines 123. 30 Hen. 8. fol. 32. And it hath been adjudged in Sanders case 21 Eliz. that Lessee for yeares need not to make claim within five years and vouched the opinion of Br. tit Fines 121. accordingly that the issue shall not be barred And as the King is privileged so are his possessions allthough that afterwards they come into a subjects hands Generall restraint And where one hath a special Grant allthough a general Restraint come after if he doe not speak specially of this the Grant shall be good in many cases as 19 Hen. 6. fol. 62. the Parson of Edingtons case Br. Patents 16. and the case of the Abbot of Waltham 21 Ed. 4. fol. 44. Br. tit Exemption 9. in 19 Hen. 8. it was doubted if the issue of a common person should be barred ergo the issue in tayl the reversion being in the King is not barred And the Statute of 32 Hen. 8. is generall as well for those which were of the gift of the King as others and therefore afterwards there was another Statute made which excepted those which were of the gift of the King as it was before the Statute of 32 H. 8. and it was a vain thing to make this Statute of Exception if it were a bar before by the Statute of 4 H. 7. And for authority I have a report delivered me by a Sage antient in the Law that in 16 17 El. in Jacksons case where Lands were given in tayl the remainder to the King in fee the Tenâ—nt in tayl levyed a fine after the Statute of 32 H. 8. by the opinion of the Court Difference per enter rem reversion in le Roy. this was a bar but the Court then sayd that otherwise it should be if the reversion were in the King as our case is wherefore seeing there is neither discontinuance nor bar in the case his entry is congeable and the Action not maintainable Walmisley to the contrary I will agree that it is not any discontinuance yet he may admit him out of possession if he will as in 18 Edw. 3. Where Tenant in tail the Reversion in the King makes a Lease for life and hath two Daughters and died and Lessee for life was impleaded and upon his default the two daughters prayed to be received and so they were and as me seemeth the Petition made by him to the Queen shall not prejudice or hinder the Grant ex mero motuâ— and vouched 3 H. 7. fol.

AN Action upon the Statute of Winch. was brought against a hundred in Gloucester Hue and 〈◊〉 and the Jury found a speciall Verdict viz. that the money was delivered to a Carrier of Bristow to be carried to London who packed it up And as he was on his journey certain Malefactors came to him in an another Hundred and there took his Horse and Pack and led him into a Wood within this Hundred against which the action is brought And if this Hundred be guilty or no they prayed the advise of the Court And all the Justices agreed that this was a robbery in the first Hundred and not in the second for upon the first taking he was robbed but if the Carrier had led the Horse himself Possession then it should be adjudged to be in his own possession and no robbery untill he came into the second Hundred and if a man have money and the Malefactors take him in one Hundred and carry him unto another Hundred and there Rifle him this shall not be a robbery in the first but onely in the second Hundred for he is allwaies in possession per totam Curiam and Judgement was given accordingly So of the purse picked in the Kings Bench and the thief taken with the manner but a key being fastened to the purse still stuck in the pocket and 2 Justices against two that the man was still in possession of his purse and so no robbery 12. WAlmisly shewed Termor how a woman brought Dower against her two daughters and another and in truth the third was but a Termer and the Wife hath no cause of dower but that this was onely to make the Termer to lose his term for they all have made default at the grand cape and now he prayed to be received and shewed cause that the Husband made a lease for yeares and after the Lessee levied a fine to the Lessor and they granted and rendred back again to the Lessee for the same yeares rendring the same rent and the Statute of Gloucester is if the Farmour have c. that is if he may have covenant as in 19 Ed. 3. and here he may have covenant Ejectione firme and prayed to be received and shewed his plea. Shuttleworth You are at no mischief for you shall have an ejectione firme if you be ousted where she hath no cause of Dower Walmisley But we shall be put out of possession which shall be no reason Anderson I hold that a Termer may falsify by the Common law Falsify Shuttleworth But his lease is after our title of dower Lesser may plead destruction of dower Peryam although that it be after yet if he have matter which goeth in destruction of the Dower he shall falsify well enough as if she have title of Dower and five yeares pass after the fine levied And Anderson and Peryam said that the Statute of Gloucester was made that a Termer should not be put out of possession but here the Termer is named ideo quare And after at another day Shuttleworth moved it again Resceit of the partie to the Writ and said that the Termer shall not be received because he is named in the Writ and the Court was of the same opinion then but they said that he might plead speciall non tenure Shuttleworth first he ought to save his default for he commeth in upon the grand cape Rodes by 33 H. 6. 2. he may plead non tenure before default saved by Prisot there Shuttleworth Then I shall have judgement against the two which made default at the grand cape Conusance Curia you had best be advised lest the Writ should abate by non tenure of parcell Cemurier Shuttleworth by my Conusance of non tenure of parcell Difference all shall abate but if I demurr upon his plea then it shall abate but for one parcell 13. LEonard White brought a Formdon in Discender and declared of a gift in tayl made to his father Estoppell who died and the land descended to the elder brother of the Demandant who also died without Issue and so conveyed to himself as heir in tayl c. The Tenant pleaded that the elder brother had Issue a Daughter who levied a fine to him and he relied upon the fine and proclamation Inducement doth 〈◊〉 make a plea double Walmisly this Plea is double the one is the Issue the other the fine Curia forasmuch as he cannot come to the one without shewing the other it shall not be double also here he relieth upon the Estopple vide 18. E. 3. 25. Tit. Gard. per Wylly 14. A Formdon in descend by three brethren for lands in Gavelkind they were at Issue upon Assetz descended to the Demandants Assets in Gavelkind And the Jury found a speciall Verdict that the Father of the Demandant was seised of those lands and by his Testament devised them to his three sonnes now Demandants and to their heires equally to be divided And if this shall be said a descent to them or no was the question because the Law would have done as much and therefore it shall be said Assetz But all the Court held the contrary and that they shall be joynt-Tenants or Tenants in common and then they shall not be in by the descent and so no Assetz and Anderson said that if a man devise to his sonne and heir in tayl he shall not take it by descent Peryam if a man may have any more benefit by the Devise than by the descent then he shall take by the Devise Eadem lex per Curiam if he devise his lands to his two daughters and heires they shall be joynt-Tenants and no coparceners è contra if he have but one son or one daughter only 15. IN the Exchequer Chamber all the Justices of the Common Pleas and the Barons of the Exchequer Venus were assembled according to the Statute of 27. Eliz. to reform errors in the Kings bench And Smaleman of the inner Temple shewed how an Action of Debt was brought upon an Obligation against one Cheney as administrator who pleaded plenè administravit and the action was laid in Barkshire at Newbery and the Plaintif averred that the Defendant had Assetz at Westwood in the same County and the venire facias was of Newberry whereas it should have been of Westwood And this he assigned for Error And all the Court agreed una voce that it was Error and so the judgement was reversed but the Assetz being transitory might have been assigned at Newbery 17. ANother Writ of Error was there brought by the Lord Seymour against Sr. John Clifton upon a judgement given against him Amendment and assigned for error that the judgement was quod recuperet versus Edward Seymour
have against him untill the 24 of June then next following which was half a year after and because he had not performed this an action upon an Assumpsit was brought and Judgement given for the Plaintif and all the Justices agreed that this was Error because that this thing arbitrated was out of the submission and so voyd for they have no authority to arbitrate that which is not submitted unto them Submission and the submission is onely of things passed and not to come but because that the Defendant had not heard of this Error before therefore they gave him day Afterwards the case was moved again and Anderson sayd that damages recovered doe not lye in arbitrement Damages recovered Peryam Amongst other things they will lye well enough quod Anderson non negavit But they all sayd that they may well assume upon consideration and an Action will be maintainable for it 5. THomas Mounson Esquire Term extinguished sonne and heir apparent to Sir Iohn Mounson Knight brought an Action of Trespass against VVest who pleaded not guilty and upon Evidence it appeared that Sir Iohn Mounson had an estate for years the Remainder in tayl to the Plaintif with divers Remainders over and the Lessee made a Feoffment to divers and a Letter of Attorney to others with commission to enter into the lands and to seal the Feoffment and deliver it in his name to the use of the sayd Thomas and his heirs and another by commandement or Letter of Attorney of the sayd Thomas entred in his name And the Court held this a good Feoffment notwithstanding that both the Lessee and the Attorney were disseisors Disseisors for it is good between the Feoffor and the Feoffee for they sayd that by the Feoffment to the use of him in the remainder and his heirs if he in remainder enter he is remitted and the estate for years is gone implicatively Freehold joyned to the term Morgage for Peryam sayd that in all cases where the Freehold cometh to the term there the term is extinguished And therefore if a man morgage his reversion to the Lessee for years and after perform the condition yet the Lease for years is utterly extinguished And the Evidence on both parts was very long and the chief matter was whether a Deed were forged by Rob. Mounson lately one of the Justices of the Common-pleas by which Devise lands were conveighed to him by William Mounson his Father whose heir at the Common Law Sir John Mounson is viz. the Sonne of Roberts eldest brother and the Deed was shewed by VVest and it was perished with Mice all the Seal and part of every side but yet by the last Will of the sayd VVilliam Mounson and by divers other proofs it was evident that the Deed was good and but little in effect was shewed to prove the Deed forged Misdemenour yet the Jury went together and tarryed there all night and in the mean time some of them had victualls with them for one had Cheese and another had Pruens another had Pippins and another had an Orange but he which had the Orange swore that he brought it onely for the smell and therefore he was excused and he which had Pruens had given half a Pruen to one of his companions which eat it and he which had Cheese had eat thereof therefore all those which had victuals Fine and imprisonment were fined at 40 s and they which had eaten at 5 l. every of them and all committed to the Fleet but because they were agreed therefore the Verdict was taken and the Verdict was given for the Plaintif viz. that the Deed was forged by Justice Mounson and the Verdict taken de bene esse and all this matter commanded to be entred for the Justices doubted whether it were a good Verdict This matter was moved divers Terms afterwards and at the last adjudged a good Verdict 6. IN an Ejectione firme by Ashby against Laver for Lands in Westminster Countermand it was sayd by all the Justices to the Jury that if a man hath a Lease and disposeth of it by his will and after surrenders it and takes a new Lease and after dyeth that the Devisee shall not have this last Lease because this was a plain countermand of his Will 7. IN Trespass by Johnson against Astley it was said by the Justices to the Jury that if there were a Chauntery in reputation allthough it be none in right as if it be gone by disseisin yet the Queen shall have the Lands 8. AT Serjeants-Inne in Fleet-street Rent suspended the Justices of the Common Pleas and Barons of the Exchequer were assembled for divers Errors in the Kings-bench and the case of Rawlins was moved again and Anderson and Peryam retained their former opinions and Peryam sayd that he would differ from all the cases of collaterall conditions Feoffment upon condition which may be put for he sayd that if a man make a Feoffment in fee of 20 Acres of land upon condition that if he pay to the Feoffee xx l. at Easter that then it shall be lawfull for him to re-enter allthough that he be re-enfeoffed of 10 Acres yet he ought to perform the condition because it is collaterall But Cook the famous Utter-barrister sayd Truly it hath been adjudged to the contrary and I was privy to it for when he took as high an estate again as he had before by that the condition is confounded and the case of the Corody in 20 Ed. 4. will prove this case Rodes I see no diversity Peryam It is collaterall there but so it is not here but afterwards those two Judges changed their opinions and so the first Judgement was affirmed 9. BRown recovered against Garbrey in an Assumpsit Consideration and thereupon Garbrey brought a Writ of Error and assigned for Error that there was no Consideration for the Declaration was that whereas there was a communication between Brown and a woman for Mariage between them that the Father of Brown had promised to the Wife that if she would marry his Son he would make a Feoffment of his land to the use of himself for life and after to the use of them two in tayl the remainder c. and that Garbrey assured to the Wife in consideratione praemissorum that if the Father did not doe so then he would give the Wife a hundred pound ac licet the Father did not give to them in tayl secund agreament praedict yet Garbrey refused c. And Cook moved that this should be no Consideration for the communication of Mariage was not by him but between strangers to him but if the Father had assumed in consideration of Mariage then that should have been good against the Father but against Garbrey it is â—o otherwise than as if one promise to you to Enteoff you and I say that if he doe not so then I will give you a hundred pound this is
view of the Record it appeared that no originall was certified and therefore could not be amended 33. EJectione firme inter Bulleyn Bulleyn Devise Cook Attorney Generall The case is that Simon Bulleyn being cestui que use before 27 H. 8. Devised to his Wife certain Land for her life that after her decease Robert Bulleyn his eldest sonne shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost Limitation and if he dyed without issue that Richard Bulleyn his second sonne shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost and if he dye without issue of his body then his two Daughters A. and B. shall have the land paying the value thereof to the Executors of his Wife and allso by the same Will he desired his Feoffees at the request of his Wife to make Estates accordingly The chief question and knot of the case is whether Robert Bulleyn the Devisee hath an estate tayl or not and he sayd it seemed to him he had but an estate tayl and for that we are to see whether the payment ought to precede or is subsequent to the estate and I think it is subsequent to the estate For the words are my sonne Robert shall have my laud ten pound under the price it cost and so by the words he ought to have the land before any payment and I think he shall have the land by course of limitation Limitation and if he doe not pay the money that R. B. shall have the land as Heir by limitation Crickmores case and for that purpose he cited Crickmores case in 3 Elizab. where a man had two Daughters and devised his land to his eldest daughter paying to the youngest ten pound there the eldest had all the land till she failed of payment of the ten pound and then it was adjudged that the youngest should have the moity by way of limitation Vellock Heymonds case And 32 Eliz. it was adjudged in this Court inter Vellock Heymond where a man devised Burrongh English land to the eldest brother paying to the youngest ten pound and after the elder failed of payment and the youngest entered by way of limitation And in this case these words that Robert my son shall have my land ten pound under the price it cost will make a condition as well as if he had sayd paying ten pound and to prove that he cited Sir Edward Cleres case Sir Edward Cleres case that these words upon trust and confidence will not make a Condition by reason that the Devisor had a speciall trust and confidâ—nce in the Devisee but it is otherwise here and in this case the estate of necessitie ought to precede the payment for it is appointed that the payment shall be made to the Executors of the woman and so if the estate doe not precede the payment then during the life of the woman the Devisee shall have no estate for during her life she cannot have Executors and so by consequence can there be no payment Allso the words of the Will are I desire my Feoffees to make an estate at the request of my Wife so that his meaning was plain that there should be an estate made in the life of the Wife for after her death she may not make request but it hath been sayd that the state should be Fee simple for that the words are that he shall have the land ten pound under the price it cost and so these words paying shall carry the Fee simple And as to that I say that it shall not against an expressed estate Expressed estate And for that 2 El. 117. a Frenchman devised lands to his Wife for life the remainder to C. F. and to the heirs Males of his body and if he dye without heirs of his body the remainder over and it was taken clearly that the generall limitation if he dyed without issue of his body shall not alter the speciall tayl for that the intent is apparent and allso he cited Claches case and Atkins case 34 Eliz. 33. Allso in this case Robert Bulleyn the Devisee is made Executor to the woman so that if it were a condition subsequent he may not make payment to himself but shall have the land discharged of the condition by reason of the impossibility as if the woman had dyed intestat there is no person to whom the payment ought to be made and so the Devisee is discharged of the condition Allso in this case the Devisee being eldest sonne may not forsake the Devise and take by descent as in 3 Hen. 6. 46. it is for the benefit of him in remainder but if he might waive he may not waive in pais as 13 Rich. 2. Joyntenancy is adjudged And allso when he enters at the first he is seised by the Devise for he hath no other right for if he might waive he in remainder shall not take Et adjornatur but the Court seemed to lean that the estate should be a Fee simple 34. BUry brought an Action upon his case for words against Chappell Slander viz. He hath been in Fowlers Tub innuendo the Tub of one Fowler a Chirurgeon in which Tub no person had been but those which were layd of the Pox I will not say of the Pox but he lay in the Tub that time that Lagman his Wife was layd of the Pox and tell thy Master his hair falls from his head and he is a pilled Knave and a Rascall Knave and a Villain and no Christian and thinks there is neither heaven nor hell and adjudged that the Action is not maintainable 35. A Man is arraigned of Felony and acquitted Flight for Felony but it is found that he fled for the Felony he shall not lose his goods that he had at that time of his flying but at the time of the acquittall tit Coronae Fiâ—zh 296.

WIlkinson brought Error upon a Judgment given against him in the Common place Variance between emparlance and judgment roll for date of the Obligation And the case was that in Debt brought against Wilkinson in the Common place upon an Obligation bearing date 1â— die Novembris the Defendant imparled and in the next Term the Plaintif declared a new prout patet upon an Obligation bearing date 12. Februarii and upon nihil dicit had judgment And now in the Writ of Error brought by the Defendant the Plaintif prayes that it may be amended Gawdie Fenner said it could not be amended but the Lord Popham and Clinch said it might be amended 37. SKelt brought an Assumpsit against Wright and declared that the Defendant in consideration of 10l assumed to make two lights into one New triall and upon non assumpsit pleaded they were at issue and the Record of nisi prius was to make two lights and one where it ought to be into one and upon that at the nisi prius the
date of the sayd Obligation whereof the Action is brought if the said W. A. do save and keep harmless the sayd T. A. of and from the said Obligation that then c. The Defendant pleaded payment secundum formam effectum condition is praedictae and upon this Plea the Plaintif demurred in Law and Judgement given for the Plaintif for the Defendant ought to plead non damnificatus 91. HUntley brought a Writ of Accompt against Griffith Account Baron Feme and the case was that one devised a certain sum of money to a Feme covert And the Husband and Wife made a Letter of Attorney to the Defendant to receive the same money of the Executor who did receive it accordingly to the use of the woman And the Husband and Wife both dye and the Administrator of the Womans Husband brings this Action Tanfeild argued that the Action is not maintainable for when the Legacy was devised to the woman the Husband and Wife ought to joyn in the Action and if the Wife dye the Husband hath no remedy And when the Husband and the Wife make a Letter of Attorney to receive the money this principally is to be sayd the act of the woman and the Husband joyneth with her but for conformity and for that it appears in 19 Eliz. 354. if Baron and Feme levy a Fine of the Wives land and the Wife onely declares the use of the Fine it is good and by 16 Ed. 4. 8. If a man be a Receiver to a woman sole which afterwards takes a Husband and he and his Wife assign Auditors to the Receiver they both shall joyn in an Action of Debt for the Arrerages Altam è contra and sayd that the concourse of all our Books are that when money is delivered to deliver over to another Letter of Attorney by the Husband only Debt due to a Feme sole that other shall have an Action of Accompt allbeit that before that time he had not any property And 6 Ed. â— 1. that proveth Gawdy It seems to me the Action is well brought for the matter whereupon you stand is the Letter of Attorney and I say if the Husband sole had made the Letter of Attorney For by the entermartage the duty became the husbands if he could attain it in the life of the wife which he did by the receipt of his Bayly it had been well enough and when the money is received to the use of the Husband and the Wife now by that the Husband hath interest Popham I am of the same opinion for if Debt be due to a woman sole upon an Obligation and after she take an Husband and the Husband sole makes a Letter of Attorney to J. S. to receive that and J. S. receives the same now the Husband sole shall have an accompt against J. S. Fenner accord so Judgement was given for the Plaintif 92. THe Lady Gresham brought a Scire facias upon a Recognisance against William Man as terr Verdict in a Scire fac upon Recognisance Tenant The Defendant pleaded in abatement of the Writ that one Bedingfield was seised in Fee of three Acres of land not named Judgement si execut c. And the issue was if the aforesaid three Acres of land were the land of the aforesaid Bedingfeild or not and the Jury found that B. and J. S. were Jointenants of the said three Acres and whether this Verdict hath found for the Plaintif or Defendant was the question Whether Joyntenancy shal be sayd a Seisin Gawdy I think it may never be said the Land of Bedngfield onely And to prove that he vouched 28 Hen. 8. Dyer 32. in debt for Rent the Plaintif declared of a demise of 26 Acres rendring the said Rent The Defendant pleaded that the Plaintif demised to him 26 Acres and 4 Acres more without that that he demised the twenty Acres onely And the Jury found that he Leased but 22 Acres and there that was good for the Defendant hath confessed a demise of 26 Acres and then the Verdict should have been that the 4 Acres ultra were not demised and allso he said when two men made a Feoffment the Feoffee shall be in by both the which is a strong proof that the one sole is not seised Fenner According to the matter in question I think it is found for the Plaintif for the pretence of the Defendant is to have a companion against whom the Scire facias shall be as well brought as against himself And in 46. Edw. 3. That in casu proviso if issue be taken upon an Alienation in Fee Forfeiture by alienation and the Jury find an Alienation pro Termino vitae this is a Verdict good enough and the Plaintif shall recover for the Alienation to the Defendants Inheritance is the question And whether it be in Fee or for life it is but form and so in this case Popham by pleading of the truth the Defendant might have been holpen but not as he hath pleaded here as if one plead his Freehold and another say his Freehold absque hoc that it is the Freehold of the Plaintif and upon that they are at issue And the Verdict finds that the Plaintif and Defendant are Tenants in Common Now this Verdict is found for the Plaintif for he that makes the first lie shall be triced and this was the Defendant Fenner In this case one Tenant may not have an Action against an other Iointenants make a statute and it was agreed in this case if there are two Jointenants and the one make a Statute and after joines with his companion in a Feoffment of that Land now the moity of the Land may be extended upon this Statute Godfry When it appears unto the Court that there is another against whom the extent shall be then the Plaintif his Writ shall abate Gawdy No truly for by 44 Edw. 3. if a Writ of Dower be brought against the issue in tail which is remited and the Defendant plead ne unques seisi que Dower and the Verdict find the remitter yet the Plaintif shall have the Judgement for the Tenant if he will have advantage of that ought to plead it 93. THe Parson of Ramesey â—ued in the spirituall Court for Tithes of Asp Prohibition for Asp and a Prohibition was awarded And Fenner said that it was adjudged before that time that Asp should not pay Tithes and also it was agreed if a man cut trees for Housboot No Tithes for housboots c. or other usuall bootes Hedgboot Ploughboot Cartboot and Fireboot Tithes shall not be paid of them 94. NOta per Fenner Justice Account that an Action of accompt shall be maintainable against a servant but not against an Apprentice 95. HOme was indicted for that he had spoken against the book of Common prayer Depravation upon endictment Yelverton The Indictment as it appears is taken before the Lord Anderson and Baron Gent Justices of
6. the Priors case Note that Puckering then said privily to Shuttelworth is not the book contrary to that which he hath vouched for he vouched the Book contrary to that which Puckering had done before Shuttelworth No Sir but the record is contrary to the Book quod nota and when she granteth ex certa scientia it shall be taken beneficial for the party 1 H. 7. 13. omnia debita released to the Sherif and 29 Ed. 3. the King seised the lands of a Prior alien c. Difference per enter interest prerogative Touts droits poss per fine Fine puis disseisin ou discont alit de recovery and there is a difference between the cases put and this case for when the Queen makes a Grant all matters of interests may pass by the words but matters of prerogative as in the cases put by my brother Puckering cannot pass for they are not within the words but interests are To that which hath been sayd that he was not seised of any estate tayl this is not any argument for if he had three rights by the Fine all are gone and passed to the Conisee for if he be disseised or discontinue and then levy a Fine this is a bar but otherwise it is of a recovery Lessee purâ—ans en reversion poss diversity for that is no bar but of an estate tayl And as to the case of Saunders that lessee for years need not to make claim the case was not so but the case was of a lease inreversion and he had never entred and therefore it was but as a common or a rent but if it be a lease in possession he is bound as in Zouches case Then because the King is in possession it hath been sayd that it is no bar but this seemeth to be no reason for the Statute began with the King and the Preamble seemeth to induce it and the third saving of the Statute is by force of any gift in tayl so this is generall And because he cannot discontinue therefore can he not make a bar Non sequitur For he cannot discontinue and yet a Fine levyed is a good bar and the Statute of 32 Hen. 8. doth not impair this opinion but it was to take away the doubt moved in 29 Hen. 8. Allthough indeed the Law was all wayes clear in the case as it was agreed by all the Judges in Stowels case and the words of the Statute of 34 Hen. 8. that the recoveries shall be no bar doth not extend but to the words going before as in the case in Dyer that a man had not done any act but that c. And the Queen in this case hath not any prejudice for she shall have the rent with the reversion And as for Jacksons case that maketh for me for the question of the case there was that the remainder shall be gone and we ought not to take regard to that which is sayd indirectly in the case but the point of the Judgement is the matter and for authority it is direct in Dyer fol. 26. pl. 1. and therefore it seemeth that the entayl is barred and so the action maintainable Anderson You have well argued but for any thing that I see none of you shall have the Land Grant for the Queen is deceived in her grant and therefore the Patent is voyd and then it shall be seised into the Queens hands And therefore you had best to be advised and we will hear what can be sayd for this point at another day And note that it was sayd by the Justices 3 Costs in forcible entry that if a man recover in a Writ of forcible entry upon the Statute of 8 Hen. 6. by confession or by default he shall recover his treble costs 22 Hen. 6. 57. 13. ONe Colgate brought a Replevin against Blyth who avowed the taking Replevin and thereupon they were at Issue in Kent and the Jury found a speciall Verdict The case in effect was this Husband and Wife are seised of Lands in right of the Wife And she by Indenture in her own name agrees that a Fine shall be levyed and limits the uses by Indenture After the Husband by another Indenture agrees that a Fine shall be levied and limits other uses and afterwards a Fine is levied by them both now whether the uses limited by the Husband shall bind the Land of the Wife in Perpetuity The Jury prayed the advise of the Court c. For if they be good they found for the Plantif if not then they found for the Defendant Shuttleworth Serjeant It seemeth that Judgement shall be given for the Plantif For the use limited by the Husband shall be a good limitation in Perpetuity Rent ch ou Lease per feme covert and first the Wife only cannot limit any use for her Acts are of no Validity And therefore if a Wife grant a Rent charge or make a Lease and the Grantee enter this is a Disseisin 43. Ed. 3. Deeds given by a Feme Covert are void 17. lib. Ass a VVife levies a Fine Executory Fine executory executed per feme covert sur grant render as a sole Woman and after a Scire fac Is brought to Execute this Fine the Husband shall extort the Execution and if it were a Fine Executed then it is a Disseisin to the Husband Vse quod For an use is a Declaration how the Land shall continue in Perpetuity and the Feoffees are nothing but Instruments or Organs to convey the use for the Land yields the use and not the Feoffees then when the Wife which is under the Power of her Husband Limitation per infant quaere limits an use this is void for I hold for Law if an Infant limit uses and after levy a Fine and do not Reverse it during his Nonage yet the limitation shall not bind him and so of a man non compos mentis Non compos mentis And so it was ruled in the Court of Wards where a naturall Ideot made a Declaration of uses and levied a Fine accordingly Ideot naturall that yet it shall be to the use of himself And then in our case the Limitation by the Wife cannot be good but her Will depends upon the Will of her Husband and the expressing of the use by the Husband shall be good Estate disseisin assumsit al feme For if an Estate be made to a Wife if the Husband seaven years after agree it is good and so it is of a Disseisin to a use so ofan Assumpsit to the Wife 27 Hen. 8. in Jordans case 1 Hen. 7. in Doves case and in a Praâ—cipe quod reddat the default of the Wife shall be the default of the Husband Default del feme because she is Compellable to the Will of her Husband by the Intendment of the Law 21. lib.

Husband and Wife are Plantifs in an Assise Nonsuite del feme and the Husband would Prosecute but the Wife would be Nonsuite the act of the Husband shall be accepted and the act of the Wife rejected So if the Husband will make an Attourny and the Wife wil dissavow him Attourny yet he shall be their Attourny And as I think this Limitation by the Husband shall bind the Wife in perpetuity Case per fine indentare Difference Juris clamat For if the Husband make a Lease of the wifes Land for 100 years the Wife may avoid it after his death but if after they both Levy a Fine the Lease shall be good-for ever And 11 Hen. 4. He in Reversion and one which hath nothing Levy a Fine quid juris clamat shall be brought against them both And as I conceive it it shall be counted her folly Reentry per condition that will take such a Husband as will Limit such uses For if a Wife hath an Estate in Land upon condition for not payment of Rent that the Feoffor shall reenter if she take a Husband which doth not pay the Rent whereby the Feoffor or his Heires reenter the Estate of the Wife is utterly defeated And in 4 Ed. 2. A woman Tenant takes a Husband Cessavit who ceaseth by two yeares whereby the Lord bringeth a Cessavit and recovereth the Inheritance of the Wife she shall be bound And this appeareth in Fitzh in Cui invita 21. And it shall be so if the Wife hath but a Freehold Wast as it is in 3 Ed. 3. A woman Lessee takes a Husband who maketh Wast whereby the Land is recovered and 48 Ed. 3. fol 18. Husband and Wife sell the Land of the Wife this is onely the sale of the Husband but if after they Levy a Fine this shall bind the Wife And for express Authority it is the case in Dyer Joynture fol. 290. a pl. 2. And so it is a Common case if a man seised of Lands takes a Wife who hath a Jointure in his Land and he makes a Limitation of uses and after they both Levy a Fine this shall be the Limitation by the Husband because it shall be intended that the Wife consented if it doth not appear to the contrary Whereby the Declaration of the use here by the Husband shall be good to bind the Wife and therefore Judgement ought to be given for the Plantif Feâ—ner to the contrary for here the Inheritance is in the Wife and where the Husband limits further than he hath Authority there the Law shall make a Declaration of the uses for the Husband cannot Limit uses of that which he hath not 21 Ed. 3. A man takes a Wife seised of Lands in Fee Atteynder del feme and before that the Husband was intitled to be Tenant by the Curtesie the Wife was attainted of Treason Homage the Land shall be forfeit and 44 Ed. 3.

For he shall be seised of the Perquisite in his own Right Divorce 12. lib. Ass If he be Divorced his Estate is gone Lease Rent ch diversity And I agree to the case put by my Brother Shut Where the Husband makes a Lease for years and after he and his Wife levy a Fine there the Lease shall be good but if the Husband grant a Rent charge and after he and his Wife Levy a Fine I do not agree that this is good for in the first case the Conisee found one which had an Interest in the Land but not in the last Then Sir here the Husband hath no power to Limit the use for the Land of his Wife to indure for ever Feoffee al use 28 Hen. 8. The Feoffece to use at the Common Law Limits an use to a stranger this Devesteth the first use but if he limit is to cestui que use then it is an ancient use and not new And so it is if Tenant for life and he in Reversion levy a Fine this shaâ—l be to the use of him in Reversion 2 Loyntenants And so if two Joyntenants be in Fee and they limit severall uses this shall be good according to their limitations for the Moities of either of them and for no more And if Husband and Wife levy a Fine to the use of the Husbands Sonne Fits del baron yet this is to the use of the Wife but if he be the Wifes Sonne allso then this is a good consideration and the use shall be accordingly And these cases I put to this intent that when a man limits an use which is repugnant Vse repugnant or further than he hath Authority the Law shall make a Declaration of the same use for Bracton saith Nemo potest ad alterum plus juris tranferre quam ipse habet And I take the Law if Husband and Wife levy a Fine of the Lands of the Wife and render back to the Wife in Tail Fine levie de terres del feme Oâ—e râ—eder al feme en tail and the Husband dye and the Wife discontinue that this is not a Purchase of the Husband within the Statute of 11 Hen. 7. And so it was here adjuged in 18. of Eliz. in Alexanders case And I agree to that which hath been said that the Wife only cannot limit uses but because the Jury hath found for â—he Defendant if the limitation by the Husband be not good as I think it is not then Judgement shall be given for the Defendant Concessum Adjornatur 14 WIlliam Knight Eject firm as Eessee for yeas to Sir John Fortescne and Rich.

which you allege is against you And the Wife of the Defendant being in Court was very importunate whereupon the Court moved an agreement and the Plaintif was content upon condition that the Defendant would enter into bond but the Defendant seemed unwilling by his silence Anderson Wee have made stay to the intent to do the Defendant good and he will not be content when more than reason is offered him wherefore let Judgement be entred for the Plaintif 7. IN a replevin by Gybson against Platlesse Revocation of a VVill. the Defendant made Conusance as Baylif to Anne Wingfield and the Issue was whether the Land descended to Anne Wingfield Norfolk Trin. as Daughter and Heir to I. W. and upon evidence this was the case 28 Eliz. rot 2â—30 The said I. W. was seised of the Lands in question and divers other Lands and by his last VVill devised all his Lands and Tenements to Anthony Wingfield of London Goldsmith in Fee and after and before his death he made a Feoffment in Fee of the same Lands which he had devised to the same A. W. and when he sealed the Feoffment he demanded will not this hurt my Will and it was answered again that it would not and he said if this will not hurt my Will I will seal it and then he sealed it and a Letter of Attorny to make livery and in some of the Lands the Attorney made livery but not of the Lands now in question and after the Testator died now if the Devisee shall have the Lands or no was the question for if this Feoffment be Revocation of the Will then the Devise is void And it was said by the Counsell of Anne VVingfield that it is a Revocation For if the Testator had said that this shall not be his Will then it had been a plain Revocation quod fuit concessum per Curiam and then the making of the Feoffment is as much to say as that the Will shall not stand but it was answered by the Court that it appeared that the mind of the Testator was that his Will should stand and when he made the Feoffment this was a Revocation in Law and if no Feoffment had been made there had been no Revocation in Law and there is no Revocation in deed for he said if this will not hurt my Will I will seal it and allthough that the Attorney made livery in part Feofâ—ent perfect in part so that the Feoffment was perfect in part yet for the Lands in question whereof no livery was made the Will shall stand Will. for a Will may be effectuall for Part and for Part it may be revoked and the Court told the Jury that this was their opinion and thereupon the Jury found accordingly that the Land did not descend to A. VV. quod nota And Fenner who was of Counsell with the Plaintif before the coming again of the Jury to the Bar said to the Counsell of the Defendant that the Law was clear against them Allso he said to divers Barresters afterward privately that in the case of Serjeant Jeofres it was adjudged that where one had made his Will and after one of his friends came unto him and demanded of the Testator if he had made his Wil and he answered no. And he demanded again will you make your Will and he answered no and yet this was adjudged no Revocation 8. ONe Lea of Essex Privelege was sued in an Action of Battery in the Common pleas Battery and upon non culp pleaded it appeared upon the evidence that the Defendant and others had thrown daggers at the Plaintif and grievously hurt and maimed him in outragious manner and Peryam said to the Jury that they ought to consider that the Plaintif was put in fear of his life and had one of his hands maimed and what damage he had susteyned by his Mayhem and that they ought to give damage as well for the fear and assault as for the Mayhem and when the Jury was gone from the Bar the Defendant caused the Plaintif to be arrested in the Kings Bench for a battery done to him by the Plaintif before and this was shewed to the Court and thereupon they sent for Lea and were grievosly offended with him for they said that when a man is sued here Privelege de Court. he ought safely to come and go by the privilege of this place without vexation elsewhere And Lea pleaded that he was ignorant of the Law but the Court answered that ignorantia juris non excusat and therefore they said that they would punish him and discharge the other Then the Plaintif said that he had put in bayl to the arrest and the Court answered if you had not done so we would have discharged you but now we cannot but they commanded Lea to release his arrest or otherwise he should smart for it Fine and Lea was well content to do so Anderson yet you shall pay a fine here allso for otherwise we shall be perjured wherefore because you are ignorant you shall be fined at vj. s and Lea payed the vj. s incontinently and went for to release his arrest Rodes You have escaped well therefore let this be a warning 9. BEtween Smyth and Lane the case was such Copyhold Mith. 27. 28. Eliz. Rot. 1858. Radford A. was a Copyholder in Fee according to the custom of a Mannor whereof the Queen was Lady And she by her Letters Patents let the Copy hold to B. for years and he granted his Term to the Copyholder if by this the Copyhold be determined or no was the doubt And it was agreed by the Court and all the Serjeants 28 H. 8. 30. b. that if the Lease had been made immediately from the Queen to the Copyholder then it had been a plain determination but some put a diversity because the Patentee was not Lord of the Mannor Peryam I think the Copyhold is not gone for when the Copyholder hath an interest in possession and the other in the Freehold and the Patentee grants his interest to the Copyholder what surrender can this be Anderson I will not have it a surrender but I will have his interest to be determined For when he is a Copyholder this is by Custom and when the Land is left this is by the Common Law and when this is granted to the Copyholder surely he shall not have both For he cannot have a Copyhold in the Land and have the Land also wherefore in my opinion the Copyhold is gone Peryam Peradventure by the grant to the Patentee the Rent shall pass if there be any but it shall be hard to make it a determination of the Copyhold for they are two distinct and two severall interests Anderson By the grant made to the Patentee the Rent shall not pass for he hath no Reversion adjornatur 10. A Quare impedit was brought by Specot and his wife against the Bishop of Exeter
of the wife For if the Husband have an Advowson in right of his Wife and the Church become voyd and the Husband dye the Executors shall have the presentation and the Serjeant sayd that there be many Books in that point Anderson I know it well but I doubt of the Law in the case Allso I would have you to argue if this be within the Statute of Demurrers in 27 Eliz. For if this be not matter of substance then it shall goe hard with the Plaintif therefore let it be argued again another time 11. ONe Brook was Plaintif in a Replevin Copyhold the Case was such Tho. Speek was seised of a Mannor in which were Copyholds according to the Custom and the place in which the taking was supposed was a Copyhold and the sayd Tho. Speek being so seised took to wife one Anne B. and died seised after whose death the sayd A. in the time of King Edw. 6. demanded the third part of the Mannor for her Dower by the name of Cent. Messuagiorum Cent. Gardinorum tot acr terrae tot acr prati c. and was endowed accordingly of parcel of the Demesns and parcel of the services of the Copyholds and after she granted a Copyhold and if this be good was the question for if she had a Mannor the Grant was good and otherwise not And the opinion of all the Court clearly was against the Grant for when she demanded her Dower she was at liberty to demand the third part of the Mannor or the third part of Cent. Mes Cent. Gard. Cent. acr c. and when she demanded it per nomen Cent. Mes c. Mannor a corporation she could have no Mannor For a Mannor cannot be claimed except by his name of Corporation as Anderson termed it and not otherwise and then Cent. Mes and Cent. acr c. cannot be sayd a Mannor and then the Grant of a Copyhold by her which had no Mannor was utterly voyd and this was the opinion of the Court clearly Quod not a. 12. SHuttelworth shewed how one Knight was Plaintif in a Replevin Visne 〈◊〉 Ass pl. 42. and they were at issue upon a prescription for Common in Newton appendant to land in another place and the venue was of Newton onely and it was found for the Plaintif and he prayed his judgment for the tryall may be in the one place as well as in the other as in annuity where the seisin is alleged in one County Annuity and the Church in another it may be tryed in any of the Counties Anderson But we think otherwise for it ought to be of both places when the matter ariseth in both and if they had been in severall Counties Counties joyn the Counties ought to have joyned Shuttelworth So is 10 Ed. 4. fol. 10. But our case being after a verdict I think we ought to have judgement Anderson and Windham The verdictdoth not amend the matter if it be mis-tried as this case is Rodes agreed that it was a mis-triall Mis-trial and therefore evill and that mis-trialls are not helped by the Statute of Jeofayles Shuttelworth I agree to that if you say that the triall is not good Windham So we say New Venire facias Then Shuttelworth advised his Client to take a new Venire facias 13. WAkefield brought a Replevin against Costard The Lord. who avowed for damage fesaunt Comptons case and the Plaintif prescribed for Common that all the inhabitants of Dale except the Parson and infants and such a house Prescription for Common have used to have Common in the place The Avowant sayd that the house whereunto the Plaintif claimed Common was built within thirty yeares last past and if he may have Common to this new house by prescription or no was demurred in judgement in Michaelmas Term and then Shuttelworth argued for the Plaintif that he should have his Common by prescription but not of common right And Gawdy argued for the Avowant that the Plaintif shall not have Common because the prescription is against all reason that he should have Common time out of mind to that which is but of thirty years continuance And allso he excepteth the Parson and infants and such a house and by the same reason he may except all which is not good Then one of the Judges sayd that if this be good Antient inhabitants hereafter there shall be no Common for the ancient inhabitants Improvement Peryam By such a prescription he shall for ever barre the Lord from improving any Common Common entire which is no reason Anderson All Common is intire for if a man have Common to three Mesuages and he infeoffee one man of one Mesuage and another of the second and another of the third the Common is gone And by this reason allso the new house cannot have Common And now this Term Gawdy demanded of the Court if they were resolved in the poynt Anderson We are all agreed that the prescription is utterâ—y voyd for it is impossible to have Common time out of mind for a house which was built within thirty yeares and then he commanded to enter judgement if nothing were sayd to the contrary by the next day Shuttelworth We have sayd all that we can say my Lord. Anderson Then let judgment be entred against the Plaintif 14.

ANother Writ of Error was there brought upon a judgement which Rawlyns had to recover lands in the Kings bench Rent suspenpended and the Case was such A man makes a lease of ten acres for ten yeares rendring rent upon a Condition the Lessee grants 5. acres thereof to a stranger for five years and after grants the residue of the years in the five acres to the Lessor And after the Lessee broke the Condition whereby the Lessor re-entred and if he may do so or if the Condition was suspended or no was the question because he accepted a future interest in parcell Future interest Tenant wayves for it was adjudged in the Kings bench that the Condition was not suspended and now this was assigned for error And all the Justices except Anderson and Peryam held that it is not suspended before he had entred by force of his lease Anderson If I make a lease as here upon Condition and waive the possession this may be suspended before his entrie Cook This is another case Peryam But the reason thereof commeth well to this case And afterwards because the said two Justices dis-assented from the rest it was adjourned over 19. ANother Writ of Error was there brought upon a judgment given in the Kings bench Trover And Cook the famous Utter-Barrester of the Inner-tem moved this question to the Justices If a man lose his goods which come to the hands of another he converteth them to his own use and after the owner dye Day and place of conversion whether his Executors shall have an action of the Case for this Trover and whether he ought to shew the place and the day of the Conversion or no And the Counsellours at the bar said that he ought to shew both for so it was adjudged where an Alderman of London brought an action upon the Case against oue Staynsham upon Trover of an Obligation and it was found that he had broken the seales c. and because he did not shew the time and place of the Conversion he could never get Judgement And now the Justices were of the same opinion but yet Anderson seemed to doubt Peryam Executors at the Common Law shall not have Trespass for a Trespass done in the life of their Testator and the doubt is if they shall have an Action upon the Case Manwood if a man hath another in Execution for debt and the Gaoler suffer him to escape and after the Recoverer dyes shall his Executors have an action against the Gaoler Cook No. Peryam So it seemeth But Anderson Manwood and VVindam clearly to the contrary and that they shall have debt upon this Escape Cook But not an Action upon the Case at the Common Law and here by his own shewing he might have Trespass vi armis and therefore not this action De Term.

IN Trespass by Blunt and Lister against Delabere they were at Issue ' and now the Inquest appeared ready to pass Challenge VValmisley This Inquest you ought not to take for it is favourably made by the Sherif which is within the distress of one of the Plaintifs and shewed how the Sherif held certain lands of a Mannor now in question whereof Lister hath possession and allso hath certain lands for term of years of him and the Plaintifs moved that he ought to take one cause onely 1 Cause Curia He may allege both for the challenge is that he is within the distress and the allegations are but evidence to prove it and then the Plaintif sayd not within his distress whereupon the Court appointed Tryers and the Defendant sayd that all the Jury are favourable Tryors refused and prayed Tryers de circumstantibus Gawdy That cannot be but onely in an Assise and cited 9 Edw. 4. Curia We cannot appoint other Tryers in this case but only of the Jurors wherefore let the fourth and seventh be Tryers but you may refuse them and take others if you will and thereupon the Defendant refused the fourth whereby the third was appointed and they found the Array favourably made and therefore it was quashed 3. A Recovery was had by Arthur Mills against Sir Owen Hopton of divers lands twelve years passed Amendment and by the negligence of the Attorney Warranty of Attorney no Warrant of Attorney was entred for him and now suit was made to the Justices that it might be entered and they all consented thereunto and so it was entered incontinently but first the party made a corporall Oath that he had retained an Attorney and that this was the negligence of his Attorney 4. IN the Exchequer chamber Cook shewed that a Writ of Error was brought between Bedell and Moor Arbitrement and sayd that there was an Error in the Record Error not assigned which was not assigned and prayed that it might be examined allthough that it was not assigned because that it appeared in the Record which was agreed to by the Court.

D. hath lost iiij l. issues to the Queen and there came a Warrant out of the Exchequer to the now Defendant being undersherif to levy the said iiij l. in the Lands of the said I. D.

L. appeared and pleaded and was condemned and after a Capias ad satisfaciend issued against him by the name of A. L. nuper de L. Yeoman alias A. L. de Shelbâ—â—â— in Com. Ebor. Yeoman and so he assigned the variance between the first Originall and the Capias ad satisfaciendum Shelbone for Sherbone but for that this variance was not in the first name but in the first Addition therefore it was adjudged no Error by the opinion of the Court. 52. LAugford and Bushy did present by turns to the Advowson of Norwinkfield Quare imp Langford presented one A. which was instituted Pasch 43 Eliz and inducted and dyed Bushy presented one C. which C. was lawfully deprived by the Bishop of Coventrey and Lichfield without giving any notice to Langford who had the next turn The Bishop made Collation and after Collation Langford sold his moity to Lee Collation before notice and Lee to the Earl of Shrewsburie The question was whether by the Collation Langford hath lost his turn The Court seemed to incline that by the Collation the turn is lost for if it had been by usurpation it had been lost without any question And yet it seemeth that upon deprivation the Patron ought to have notice Vide Statut. de 13 Eliz. 53. YElverton the Queens Serjeant demanded the opinion of the Court Devise if a man be seised of land in Fee and have two Daughters onely and deviseth his land to his Daughters in Fee if now the two Daughters shall be Joyntenants or take by descent as parceners and the opinion of the Court was that they are in by the Devise and not by descent and so they shall be in as Joyntenants and not as Parceners but otherwise it shall be if there were but one Daughter and the Father devise the land to her so if he devise the land to his Son and Heir in fee. 54.
