if the lāds excede the yerely value of .xx. marks he must sue a specyal liuerie not a general therfore it makes no mater for the inquisitiō or office that the words of the statute wil beare it wel enough if there be but one office foūd But as to that it may be sayd that the meaning of the statute was not so for the kinge can neuer be fulli ēformed of his title vnlesse ther be an office foūd in euery shere also by finding of seueral offices one record may be better for the kinge then an other whereof his grace may take auātage for the best shal be takē for the kinge Thus it appereth by statut how that of landes aboue the yereli value of vli inquisiciō must be made and an office found after the death of the kinges tenant be fore liuerie can be had and that must be by a writ of diē clau sit extremum for that is the proper writ that is to be sued for that purpose if any sute be made within the yeare after the kinges tenants death or a special commission in the nature of the writ of diem clausit For vpon a general cōmissiō to enquire generally of all wards no perticular person can haue liuere And if he tarry till after the yere then he cānot pursue any of these but for his remedie must sue a writ called Mandamus or a commission in nature of that writ and therupon to cause an office to be foūd and so to haue liuerie But if an office be once found by diem clausit and the heier dieth in the kinges ward his heir must sue Deuenerunt no Mandamus although it be after the yere of the death of him that dyed in ward and so is the rule in the register Sumetymes it happeneth that after deliuerie of the writ or commission and before office found theschetor dyeth or is remoued frō his office in which case then the proces that is awarded to his successor is a writ called Datur nobis intelligi but if office be foūd before his death or remouing which office is not returned then shall therbe a certiorari awarded to his executors to returne the same For it is a mater of record as sone as the iurrors haue put their seales vnto it notwtstanding it be not returned And note the thawardig of this writ of diem clausit or special cōmissiō is peremptorie to him the sueth for it For if he lese it or be taken frō him with force he gettes no moe writs or cōmissiōs for the lands in that coūtie and this appereth in the new Natura breuiū fo 2●● Howbeit in 14.

H. 4. Lyuerye THe maner of the suing of a generall liuery doth partly appere in the title of Liuerie in the great abridgemēt of Iustice Fitsherbert A. 12. H. 4. ti Liuerie p. 4. A. 21. R. 2. ti Liuerie p. 5. Wher it is declared that after the heire that was in the kings warde is come to full age then a writ De etate probanda shal be awarded vnto the shirife of the shiere where the said heire was borne to ēquire of his age in which case it is required by the lawe that euerye one that shall passe in that enquest shal be of the age of .xliij. yeares meaning therby that they euery one of them shoulde be of full age at birth of the childe beecause that suche haue better knowledge and remembraunce then other of lesser age haue and that the heire that is in warde enforme the enquest by certaine signes and tokens of the tyme of his birthe as to say that that yeare there was a great tempeste or a greate plague or suche like which signes so geuen in euidence shal be returned by the shiriue as well as the principall mater But whether it bee requisite to haue xij or a lesse number in the sayde enquest or not learn for soome think that any number from two vpwarde will serue beecause the triall is by proues and see the newe Natura breui um fo 136. wher it appereth that this writ of Etate ꝓbanda was directed to the eschetour of the countie where hee was borne and not to the shiriue Howebeeit note alwayes that theye wheare the lande is shall neuer enquire of this mater vnlesse the birthe and lande weare bothe in one shiere for theye haue enquired of it allredy that is to say when theye dyd fynde the firste offyce Thus when theye haue founde his age that enqueste shall bee returned into the Chauncerie and from thence shal bee awarded a write to the Lorde Keeper of the priuie seale signifying vnto him that the heire is of full age and vppon that a priuie seal shall bee directed to the Chamberlaine of Englande to receiue his homage whiche beynge receiued the sayde lorde Chamberlaine shall certifie the lorde Chaunceller by write of the receipte thereof and then shall the heire haue his liuerie But it seemes that if the heire were neuer in warde but of full age at death of his auncester and so founde by office that thenne hee shall haue liuerie as is declared vppon that office onelye without suynge anye write of Etate probanda for the writtes of liuerie in thys case make no mention of anye Etate probanda as they doe in the other case but if the heire bee withein age and in the kyngs warde and after when he comes to his ful age other landes descende vnto him whiche the kynge allso seisethe by an enqueste that fyndes the heire of full age yet this not withstandynge hee must now sue an Etate probanda vppon bothe offices as appearethe in M. 13. Henrye the fowerthe And the reason of it is M. 13 H. 4. beecause the fyndynge of hym of full age is but as voide as longe as there is a recorde whiche founde hym within age to the whiche record the kynge mighte cleaue vnto as the best recorde that makethe for hym vntyll suche tyme the contrarie thereof be proued bye the wryte of Etate probanda Howebeeit at this day the statut made Anno. 33. H. 8. hath much abridged the fees that haue bene geuen vpon the sute of a general liuerie namely for liueries to be sued of clere yearely value of v. li. or vnder and that it may be sued without any office to be founde But I do not see that the maner of the sute is in any other point altered or changed by the sayd statute but it remaines as it did before And that statute also geueth men licence to sue a generall liuerie of landes not excedinge the cleare yerelye value of .xx. li. whereby I see no let but that a man may sue his generall liuerie also for landes aboue the yerely value of xx li. as he might haue done before the makynge thereof for this statute is not contrarie to anye lawe that was before in that pointe sauinge that a general lyue uerie vnder the value of .xx. li. can not passe or be sued yf he haue not firste his warrant from the maister of the kynges wardes and liueries surueyours atturneys and generall receiuour or three of them signed and subscribed with their names and hands Thus may you see the maner of the suing forth of a generall liuerie which liuerie may not be sued by parcelles as I haue sayde before but entierlye that is to say of all the landes the kinge is or ought to be seised of in his right that sues the liuerie And therefore if the heyre sue liuery but of parcell of that that is founde by office or yf the auncester we are seised of other landes than are foūd bye office yf the heire sue his generall lyuerie beefore an offyce thereof founde omittinge them in the liuerye the lyuery is missued T. 12.

H. 7. and therefore it beehoues the heire beefore hee sue his lyuerye to cause an office to bee foynde in euerye sheere where hys auncester hadde anye landes And this entier lyuerye is intended as well of landes holden of other lordes beinge in the kinges handes as of the landes that are holden of the kinge and therefore if a manne holde of the king in chiefe by knightes seruice and of other lordes in socage and die his heir being a daughter within the age of xiiii yeres in this case when the sayd daughter cometh of the age of xiiii yeres she getteth no liuerie of the lands holden in socage but must tarry till she be of the age of xvi yeres that she may then sue liuerie of the whole as appereth .35 H. 6.
