MEmorand That the fifth of November at Serjeants Inne in Fleet-street there assembled the Lord Hide Lord Richardson Lord Walter Iustice Doderidge Baron Denham Iustice Hutton Iustice Jones Resolves concerning Souldiers Iustice Whitlock Iustice Harvey Iustice Crook Iustice Yelverton and Baron Trevor to consider of a Case which was propounded which was One receives Presse-money to serve the King in his Wars and is in the Kings Wages and with others is delivered to a Conductor to be brought to the Sea-side and with-draweth himself and runneth away without license The Question was if it were Felony And time being given before to advise concerning it all agreed besides Yelverton and my self that it was Felony And the sole question is if a Conductor be a Captain within the 7 H 7. cap 1. and the 3 H 8. cap 5. And they said that it is not necessary that he should be such a Captain as is to lead and command them in the War or that hath skill to instruct But such as hath the leading of them by agreement between the Deputy Lievtenants and them and that ought to provide for the Billeting of them and to carry them to the place of Randesvous And one part of a Captain is to conduct although that Conduxit be properly to hire a Souldier yet this name Conductor with whom it is so agreed by Indenture to conduct the Souldiers is a Captain within the intent of those Statutes and if it should not be so these Statutes which are for the defence of the Realm shall be of little force But it was agreed by them that if these Conductors which are so called of late times be hired to carry them but to one place and there another Conductor to receive them this is not within the Statute And it ought to be such a Conductor that can give license upon just cause to proceed It was said that they used to send Captains into the Country but then they were so chargable to the Country and full of disorder that upon complaint of the Iustices of Peace about 43 Eliz. this course was invented viz. That the Deputy Lievtenants should provide for them that were pressed for Coats and Conduct and they sent their Souldiers to a place appointed to be delivered to certain persons whom the Queen appointed to receive them And it was said that though this Case as it is propounded might be cleer yet there are many Circumstances which ought to be proved and that are loft to the discretion of them before that he should be tryed It was unanimously agreed that if one takes Presse-money and when he should be delivered over he withdraw himself that is not Felony although he is hired and retained to serve But my Brother Yelverton I were of opinion that this new name newly invented is not Captain within these penall Statutes which ought to be taken strictly vide Plowden 86. that penalties which concern life shall not be taken by equity but if they be within the words of the Statute then they shall As to kill his Mistresse is within the words for Mistresse is Master Another reason was that the Statutes provide punishment for Captains which want of their number or which pay not their Souldiers within six daies after they have received their pay upon pain of forfeiting all their Goods And the Statute did not intend other Captains in this point then was in the former and latter part therof But admitting that a Conductor is such a one to whom the Souldiers are delivered by Indenture with all Covenants usuall viz. To pay to them their Wages and to convey them to their appointed place and that he may give license to depart yet they agreed that it is the better and clearer way that they should be made Captains and so named in the Indentures for the King may change the Captain at his pleasure and then it should be no question It was agreed that 7 H 7. cap 1. extends only to them who are retained and pressed to serve the King upon the Sea or upon the Land beyond the Sea And the Statute of 3 H 8. cap 5. adds only the Land here And the Statute makes departure without license from the Captain Felony and the Statute 3 H 8. without license from the Lievtenant And the Statute of 7 H 7. makes the tryall to be in the County where they shall be taken before the Iustices of the Shire as they may try other Felonies within their Commission The Statute of 3 H 8. makes their tryall before the Iustices of the County where they are taken and this being a new Felony and made tryable against the Common Law which appoint tryals by Iurors of the County where the Fact is committed and appoint a speciall Iudge viz. Iustices of Peace that is only tryable before them and not before Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer who cannot try any thing but that which is done in the same County But this if all be not done in that County where they are taken makes it tryable only before the Iustices of Peace of the County where they are taken In this point all were not resolved but required longer-time vide 2 Inst 56.

And in this case the opinion of the Court was that no Fee is due to the Sheriff by the Statute of 29 Eliz. cap 4. because the Fee is not due untill execution Copulative extent and delivered in execution if it were a Statute-Merchant in which is a Liberate included then the Fee is due Also it was agreed that by the Statute the Sheriff ought to have six pence in the pound where the summ exceed a hundred pounds for all and not twelve pence in the pound Mich. 20 Jac. Bullen versus Gervis RObert Bullen brought an action of Debt for 12 l. upon an Obligation against William Gervis Administrator of Owen Godfrey Debt It is no plea for the Administrator to say the Intestate died outlawed Young and Pigot The Defendant pleaded that the Intestate was outlawed at the Suit of Francis Murrell after Iudgment and pleaded it specially and being so Outlawed died and that Outlawry is in full force Iudgment si Action wherupon the Plaintiff demurred 8 E. 4. 6. There by Littleton between Young and Pigot in an action of Debt against Executors it was holden a good plea to say that their Testator was Outlawed for they are charged to the King for the Goods Genny said that the plea amount only to this that they have not any Goods and so answer argumentative And 21 E. 3. 5. By Brian in a Writ of Debt brought against Executors it is a good plea to say that their Testator was Outlawed sans luy intitle 36 H. 6. 27. By Prisot in Debt against one as Executor of Jane the Defendant said that the said Jane was his Wife and demand Iudgment si action and it seems this is no Plea because that a Feme Covert may have many things which the Husband shall not have as Choses in action and she may make Executors if the Baron agree And Prisot said Sir It seems to me that it is no good plea for an Executor to say that his Testator died Outlawed Cansa qua supra Quare cur hona materia Vpon the reading of the Record it seems that it is no plea for it is only by Implication and that may be given in evidence Also the Executor or Administrator may have divers things which are not forfeitable to the King as if the Testator had Mortgaged his Land upon Condition that if the Mortgagee pay not at such a day to him his Executors or his Heirs a hundred pounds that then it shall be lawfull for him or his Heirs to re-enter and after and before the day the Testator is outlawed and makes his Executors and dies and at the day the Mortgagee pay the money to the Executors that is Assets and not forfeited is the King So if Tenant for life of a Rent be outlawed and the Rent arrear and makes his Executors and die this arrearage is due to the Executor and is Assets and not forfeited for the Rent was a Free-hold for which during his life no action of Debt lay and these arrearages recoverable by the Executors are Assets Also if this should be a good plea which is only by Implication he might therby prevent the Plaintiff of his recovery Also though choses in action are by information in the Exchequer recoverable yet if the Executor bring a Scire facias upon the Iudgment he shall recover and shall be accountable to the King therfore and the Debtors of the Intestate though he was outlawed may pay the debts to him and his release is a good discharge to them Also it was agreed that an Executor or an Administrator might bring a Writ for the reversall of the Outlawry and the Outlawry is not a Bar to him Woolley versus Bradwell Trin. 37 Eliz.

And in this case all the Court were of opinion that the consideration was good for wheras he might have detained the Horse untill he had been paid for the pasture and feeding he at the speciall request of the Defendant had delivered the Horse to him to the use of the Owner which is to the prejudice of the Plaintiff and alienest to him to whose use he was delivered And Iustice Harvey vouched a case which was in this Court adjudged which was in consideration that the Plaintiff had promised to pay to the Defendant ten pounds at a day according to the Condition of an Obligation the Defendant promised to deliver the Obligation and adjudged a good Consideration Turner versus Hodges THe Custom of the Mannor of _____ is found to be for the Copyholders without the License of the Lord of the Mannor they being seised in Fee may make any Lease for a year Custom in a Mannor to make aâ— Lease for years or many years and when they dye that â—â—e 〈◊〉 shall cease and that the Heir or Heirs may enter It was moved in Arrest of Iudgment that this was a bad Custom and that the Copyholders had by Custom an Inheritance and might by the generall Custom of the Ream make a Lease for one year And that tenor the generall Custom of the Realm but the Custom of every Mannor within the Realm vide Coke lib 4. fol 26. in Melwiches Case Custom creates the Estate and the Custom is as ancient as the Estate and is casuall and upon the Act of God and is reasonable that the Heir who is to pay the Fine should have the Possession And yet a Custom that if the Copyholder had surrendred to the Lord that the Lease should be void had been a 〈◊〉 Custom because that he might subvert and destroy by his own act that Estate that he himself had made and he which took the Lease haâ—ing notice of the Custom takes the Lease at his perill for otherwise he might have procured the License of the Lord and then by this License the Lord had dispenced therwith and that is as it were the Confirmation of the Lord For if a Copyholder makes a Lease for twenty years with the License of the Lord and after dies without Heirs yet the Lease shall stand against the Lord by reason of his License which amounts to a Confirmation And the Plaintiff had Iudgment Hil. 4 Car.

Covenanted to suffer a recovery of these two Marshes by name and of many other Lands and that it should be to the use of himself in Fee and the recovery was had and therin South-Benfleet and many other Parishes named and Camby but the Parish of North-Benfleet was omitted And if the Lands in North-Benfleet passed or no was the Question And it was strongly argued by Crew and Henden to have it found specially it being in a Common Recovery which is but a Common Conveyance But all the Court agreed that the Town and Parish being omitted although that Camby was a place known but it appeared that that extends in and to ten Towns yet being in a Town that the Recovery extends not therto no more then if one had a Mannor in the Town of Dale which Mannor is called Bradford and within the said Mannor is a place known which is called Braisty Wood and he omit the Mannor and the Town and say the hundred acres of Land in Braisty Wood that is not good And the Court agreed that a Common Recovery is good in a Town Parish or Hamlet and peradventure in a place known out of the Town Parish or Hamlet as in the Forrest of Inglewood in Insula de Thamete c. But if it should be admitted that a Common Recovery shall be good in a place known in a Town or Hamlet that shall be absurd for there is no Town in which there are not twenty places known and it had been adjudged that a Venire facias de viceneto of a place known in a Town without making the Visne of the Town is not good Mich. 5 Car.
