See Co. 2. Part 57. Beckwiths Case 5. Replevin for the taking of three Cowes apud Rowdham the Defendant justifies for damage Feasant as in Freehold the Pâ—aintiff traverses the Freehold and thereupon being at Issue a specia Verdict was found Where the Case appeared to be One William Brown Father to the Defendant being seised of this Land in Fee having Issue the Defendant his Son and Heir Thomas Brown his second son and Richard a third by his Will in writing devised this Land to Thomas his son and his Heirs for ever paying to his brother Richard 20 l. at his age of 21 years And if Thomas dyed without Issue living William his Brother That then William his Brother should have those Lands to him and his heirs and assigns for ever paying the said Summe as Thomas should have paid Thomas enters and suffers a common Recovery with a single voucher to the use of himself and his heirs and afterwards deviseth it to the wise of Edward Pells the Plaintiff and her heirs and dyes with out Issue living the said William Brown who entred upon Edw. Pells and took the Distress Et si c. This Case was twice argued at the Barre and afterwards at the Bench and the matter was divided into three Points 1. Whether Thomas had an Estate in Fee or in Fee tayl only 2. Admitting he had a Fee Whether this limitation of the Fee to William be good to limit a Fee upon a Fee 3. If Thomas hath a Fee and William only a possibility to have a Fee Whether this Recovery shall barr William or that it be such an Estate as cannot be extirpated by Recovery or otherwise To the third Point Dodderidge held That this Recovery should barr William for he had but a possibility to have a Fee and as it were a contingent Estate which is destroyed by this Recovery before it came in esse for otherwise it would be a mischievous kind of Perpetuity which could not by any means be destroyed And although it was Objected That a Recovery shall not barre but where a Recovery in value extends thereto as appears Co. lib. 1. Capell's Case That a Rent-charge granted by him in remainder was bound Yet he held That this Recovery destroying the immediate estate all Contingencies and dependencies thereupon are bound and a Recovery shall bind every one who cannot falsifie it And he who hath this possibility cannot falsifie it therefore he shall be bound thereby But all the other Justices were herein against him That this Recovery shall not bind for he who suffered the Recovery had a Fee and William Brown had but a Possibility if he survived Thomas and Thomas dying without issue in his life no Recovery in value shall extend in value thereto unless he had been party by way of Vouchee And then it should for by entring into the Warranty he gave all his possibility Therefore they agreed to the case which Davenport at the Barre cited to be adjudged 34 Eliz. where a Mortgagee suffers a Recovery that shall no bind the Mortgagor but if he had been party by way of Voucher it had been otherwise and here is not any Estate depending upon the Estate of Thomas Bray but a Collaterall and meer Possibility which shall not be toucht by a Recovery And if such a Recovery should be allow'd then if a man should devise that his Heir should make such a payment to his younger sons or to his Executors otherwise the Land should be unto them if the Heir by Recovery might avoid it it would be very mischievous and might frustrate all devices and there is no such mischief that it should maintain Perpetuities for it is but in a Particular case and upon a mere contingency which perchance never may happen and be avoided by joyning him in the Recovery who hath such a contingency And on the other part it would be far more and a greater mischief that all Executors devises should by such means be destroy'd And Hutton in his Argument put this Case If a man gives or devises Land to one and his heirs as long as J. S. hath Issue of his body he by Recovery shall not bind him who made this Gift without making him a party by way of Vouchee for a Recovery against Tenant in Fee-simple never shall bind a collateral interest title or possibility as a Condition or Covenant or the like Wherefore they all besides Dodderidge held that this Recovery was no barr But it was adjudged for the Defendant Pells and Brown Hill 17 Jac.

That the makers of the Act 27 H. 8. chap. 10. did not expect that any Land after that Act should pass by way of Limitation of use save only uses upon Bargain and Sale which they did in the same Parliament allow after inrolment And they did presume that little Land would pass that way for that the Bargaine being in the Post might not vouch by force of any warranty annexed to the Estate of the Land Co. 1.120 in Chudleighs Case 5. That to make a good Estate for years by way of Bargain and Sale for Land to pass this may be without inrolment of the Deed But to make a good Estate of the Freehold or Inheritance of Land by way of Bargain and Sale it must have the Requisites of a Deed. viz. 6.

As to the Warrant of Attorney and Dedimus Poâ—estatem take this First That in the suffering of Recoveries the Tenants and Vouchees do most commonly appear in person But if they cannot or will not then they may make an Atturney And in that case there must be a Conusance for a Warrant of Atturney taken to authorize the Atturneys and a Dedimus Potestatem to some to take it in this manner Lond. ss Praec A.

the husband in tail Remainder to another in Fee and the husband doth suffer a Common Recovery In this case it was held That this was no barre to the Issue in tail for any part for there are no moieties between them And there where the husband alone suffers the Recovery there is no lawful Tenant to the Praecipe and so the Recovery is no barr Co. 3.5 Marquess of Winchester's Case 8. In 25 H. 8. it was held That if my Tenant for life vouch a stranger who doth enter into the Warranty and cannot barre the Demandant and the Demandant doth recover and the Tenant over in value That the Land recovered in Value shall not go to me in Reversion after the death of Tenant for life nor shall the Reversion of the Land recovered in Value be in me in the life of the Tenant for life Broo. Cases Sect. 70. 9. In 30 H. 8. it was held That where there was Tenant for life a remainder in taile or for life and the Tenant for life is impleaded and doth vouch him in remainder who doth vouch one that hath a title of Formedon so the Recovery pass by Voucher then the issue of him that hath a title of Formedon may bring his Formedon and recover against the Tenant for life for the recompence shall not go to the Tenant for life and therefore he may recover for his Ancestor war ranted the remainder only and not the Estate of the Tenant for life and therefore the Tenant for life may not bind him by the Recovery for he did not warrant to him and therefore in this case the sure way is to make the Tenant for life to pray in ayd of him in remainder and they to joyn and vouch him that hath the title of Formedon and so to pass the Recovery for the recompence shall go to them both Broo. Case 143. In the last place we come to the Statutes concerning this Point an abstract whereof followes Stat. 7 H. 8. chap. 4.

It is not the design of this Premonition to beg the Question Others have offered what fitted their capacities This Tract shall shew nothing more than is fit and reduced into such a method as an Easie English Clerk shall be capable of 'T is true some may say Facile est inventis addere but that is not the sole design of this For here is much obliterated that is useless something polished that was unnecessary and much added that is profitable yet it dares not assume the title of Infallible The former Three Parts which are herein offered with many Advantages shall speak for themselves whereto there is now added a Fourth which in this kind you have not met with If the design meet the humor of those it is intended for is fulfilling the purpose However whether it do or no for there is no doubt but the best intent may be quarrelled yet the Vsefulness of the Work upon Perusall will satisfie all men concerned whether they be well dealt with in the Settlements they propose to themselves from Persons they shall entrust or employ when at a cursory view they may find not onely what they would but what they ought to have done Sept. 3. 1672.

In 31 H. 8. Nota That a Fine being enrolled in London doth bind as a Fine at Common Law but not as a fine with Proclamations and there needs no Livery of Seisin upon the Deed and this is a Discontinuance without Livery for that by the custome there this bindeth as a fine and the Customes are confirmed by divers Acts of Parliament Litt. Broo. Case 155. 2. In Pasche 2 Jac. B. R. in the Case of the Countess of Rutland against the Earl of Rutland It was held upon Evidence to a Jury and to them delivered by the Court for Law That if there be an Indenture for levying of a Fine to such persons before such a time to such uses and the fine be levied to the same persons within the same time it shall be to the same uses And no Averment can be to the contrary unless it be by other matter in writing But if a fine be levied to other persons or at another time it may be well averred by Paroll to be to other uses For in the first case the Indenture is directory to the fine and in the other case it is but Evidence Cro. 2.29 3. If a Woman who is an inheritrix covenants by Indenture without the knowledg or consent of the husband to levy a Fine to certain Conusees and Uses in the Indenture mentioned and afterwards the Husband covenants by another Indenture without the knowledg and consent of his wife to levy a fine to other Conusees and Uses in that Indenture mentioned and afterwards the husband and wife joyn in a fine to the Conusees in the Indenture of the wife mentioned In this case the Limitations and Declarations of both the Uses in both the Indentures are void and the Fine shall be by construction of Law to the use of the woman and her heirs as if no use had been declared for the wife alone though she be Owner of the Land yet being sub Potestate Viri cannot limit the use on the one side And the husband who hath not any thing in his own right cannot without the good liking of the wise limit the use of the Wives Land So the one is not sui Juris and hath an Estate The other is sui Juris and hath not the Estate and therefore when they differ in the limitation of the Uses all which they do must be void 4.

See for this the Lord Zouches Case in Plowd Com. Mich. 29 Eliz. in C. B. 7. In Hill 45 Eliz. B. R. Fitz-Williams Case in Ejectione Firmâ— it was found That Fitzwilliams did suffer a Recovery to the use of himself and his wife with a Remainder to John Fitz-Williams and with a Proviso in these words Provided That it shall be lawful for him and his wife by their Joynt Deed sealed before three Credible witnesses to alter change revoke determine and make void any use or uses Estate or Estates limited in the said Deed and to limit new uses and that from thenceforth the Recovery shall be to the new uses And it was found moreover that Fitz Williams made a Deed and by it declared That it was their intent to alter change determine revoke or avoid all the former uses to J. F. and thereupon without more words limit new Uses In this Case it was doubted If the old Uses were well revoked and the new uses in being And after many Arguments it was adjudged a good Revocation of the old Uses and a good limitation of new uses Moors Rep. 683.

De finibus levatis Exception against a Fine that the Plaintiffs or Defendants or their Ancestors were alwayes seised of the Lands contained in the fine shall not from henceforth be admitted in the Parties to the fine or their heirs The Fines shall two dayes in the Week be publikely and solemnly read and all Pleas cease in the mean time 34 Ed. 3. cap. 18.

All Writs of Covenant and other whereupon Fines be levied the Dedimus Potestatem and all Conusances and Notes of the same before that they be drawn out of the Common Bench by the Chirographer shall be enrolled in a Roll to be of Record for ever out of the which execution shall be had if the notes or fines shall be imbezelled 34 H. 7. cap. 24. Every Fine after the engrossing shall be proclaimed in the Court the same Term and the three next four several dayes in every Term all Pleas ceasing the whilest which Proclamations so made the fine shall conclude all Privies and Strangers except women covert persons within 21 years of age in prison out of the Realm or of nonsane memory being no parties to the fine so they or their heirs take their action or lawful entry within five years after those imperfections removed Saving to all persons and their heirs other than parties the right claim and interest which they have at the time of the fine so that they pursue it by Action or lawful Entry within five years next after the Proclamations And saving to all other persons such right title claym and interest as first shall grow remain or come to them after the Proclamations by force of any matter before the fine so they take their right according to the Law within five years after it growes c. And those that be Covert Baron c. at the time when it groweth c. that they or their heirs take their actions or lawfull entry within five years after those imperfections removed Saving also to all not parties nor privies the exception that none of the parties nor any to their use had any thing in the Lands at the time of the fine 31 H. 8. cap. 36. All Fines levied by any person of 21 years of age of Lands entailed before the same fine to himself or his Ancestors in Possession Reversion Remainder or Use shall immediately after Proclamation made be a sufficient Barre against him and his heirs clayming only by such entayle and against all other clayming onely to his use or the use of any Heir of his Body 23 Eliz. cap. 3.

Proclamations of Fines shall be onely four times viz. once in the Term wherein the fine is engrossed and once every of the three Terms next after Of a Recovery A Common Recovery is onely Fiâ—lio Juris being a certain form used for the better assuring of Lands or Tenements upon any man And this Recovery by assent is now by common usage a kind of conveyance upon which a use may be limited and averred And there is a great difference between a Recovery by assent and a Recovery without assent though without title Co. 1. Sir William Pelhams Case 14. In the formalities whereof three things or parties are required viz. a Demandant a Tenant and a Vouchee as efficient causes thereof and the Land demanded as the matter thereof 1. The Demandant is he that brings the Writ of Entry and may be termed properly enough the Recoveror 2. The Tenant is he against whom the Writ is brought and may be stiled the Recoverce 3. The Vouchee is he whom the Tenant voucheth or calleth to warranty for the Land in demand And it is either with a single Voucher which is where the Writ is brought against him that is to pass the Land immediately and he doth vouch over the common Vouchee And sometimes with a double Voucher which is when the writ is brought against another to whom he that is to pass the Land hath aliened it and he doth vouch him that is to make the assurance and he doth vouch over the common Vouchee and this is the surest and safest kind of Recovery And this may be also with a treble Vouchee And here observe That a Common Recovery is much of the nature of a Fine and hath much favour from the Law at this day and is in some respects better than a Fine for a fine will barre the Heir in tail but not him in Remainder or Reversion but a Recovery bars them all Co. 1.22.62 The method of suffering a Recovery and the manner and order of proceeding therein is as followeth First There must be a Writ of Entry and therein a Demandant a Tenant and a Vouchee for if either of these be wanting it is not a compleat Recovery and such persons and by such names may be Demandants Tenants and Vouchees in Recoveries as may be Cognisors and Cognisees in Fines Co. upon Litt. 372. But the persons and parties must be competent and capable and there must be a lawful Tenant to the Praecipe 2. In the Writ of Entry there must be Land contained or some other thing demanded and that such as is demandable and therefore we are to take notice That of such things and by such names as a Writ of Covenant for the levying of a fine may be had a Writ of Entry for suffering a Recovery may be had See Doctor and Student 52. Mores Rep. 953. 3. It must not contain the same thing twice as to name a Messuage and a House parcel of the same Messuage nor a Town and a Hamlet within the same Town 4. If the Writ of Entry be returnable Crastino Martini the Writ of Summons ad Warrant thereupon must bear Teste from the return of Crast Mart. and be returnable nine returns after the return of the Writ of Entry inclusivè that is accounting Crast Mart. for one of the nine returns and Tres Paschae which is the ninth return after Crast Mart. for another And the Teste of the Writ of Seisin must be the day of that ninth return and be returnable fifteen days after If a single Recovery and a Fine be against the Tenant the Writ of Entry must bear date and Teste before the Writ of
it stands in force or be reversed by attaint or Writ of Error is final and makes an end of the Suit And here observe 1. That all Judgments are either by Award by Confession by Default or by Tryal Cro. 2.468 2. That a Judgment cannot be depheasanced before it be obtained Cro 1.837 3. That Judgments are much favoured in Law for Judicia in Curia Regis reddita pro veritate accipiuntur et Judicia sunt cantum Juris dicta Judicia in Curia Regis reddita non adnihilentur sed stent in suo robore quousque per errorem aut attinctam adnullentur for Interest reipublicae res judicatas non rescindi et nihil est tam conveniens naturali aequitati quam unum quodque dissolvi eo ligamine quo ligatum est Co. Inst 2. part 360. 4. That if the Plaintiff upon a Judgment dye his Executors or Administrators may not proceed to take advantage thereof or have Execution thereupon till they have first sued out a Scire facias Co. Inst 2. part 288 394. The Method of proceeding in a Judgment is as followeth viz. The Judgment being past the Plaintiff may choose his Execution and to pursue it But he is first to take care that this Judgment be entred in due and legal form which you may see in the Book of Entries Then he must be careful in the choyce of his Execution As for Example If he make choyce of an Elegit it is to be directed to the Sheriff in the form by Law prescribed for which see F.N.B. and the Old N. B. Then the Sheriff having received the Writ must summon a Jury and this Jury is to inquire and return what Fee-simple Fee-tail or for life Lands Goods or Chattels the Defendant had at the time of the Judgment or at any time after And this must be very carefully done the finding must have certainty in it by the quality of the Land as the Mannor of H. a Messuage and 20 Acres of Land Meadow and Pasture in D. in the occupation of J. S. of the value of c. 5. pound Rent c. Then the Sheriff is either at the same time or some time afterward to deliver the one moyety thereof and this last he alone doth without the Jury And herein care must be had that they do it by meets and bounds and that he do certainly describe that which he doth so deliver and that he deliver what is divideable and therefore that he do not divide a Mannor and deliver the moyety thereof for by this means he may destroy the Mannor And if the Sheriff shall deliver too much the Court at the return of the Writ may quash it and order a new Inquiry When the Plaintiff is satisfied by incursion of time the Defendant may re-enter upon his Land without more ado but if he hath received satisfaction by some accidental improvement of the Land there he is to call the party into Court out of which the Writ issued and there to do it by Scire facias Co. 5.38 39. But all Executions are to be taken out within a year after the Judgment else no Execution can be made out without first suing forth a Scire facias Westm 2.45 13 Edw. 1. The Execution upon a Judgment shall relate to the day of the Writs date and the award of the Writ of Execution shall bind all the Goods of him against whom Judgment is which he had at the day of the Execution awarded The Entry of a Judgement may be stayed and arrested if the Court shall see cause That a Judgment may be for a part of the thing only in demand or for the whole That a Judgment may be erroneous and avoidable by a Writ of Error for many causes Cro. 2.303 That after Judgment no Issue shall be taken Cro. 2.126 That when a Judgment is reversed for Error the Party is restored to his first remedy Co. 8.141 The Forms and Presidents of these things vary according as the case requires and being only practicable by Attorneys who are or ought to be well versed therein we will trouble the Reader with them but in the next place shew the several Statutes that speak of the same Stat. Westm 2.18 13 E. 1 That he that recovereth debt or damage in the Kings Court may at his choyce have a Fieri facias of the Lands and Chattels of the Debtor or a Writ for the Sheriff to deliver him all the Chattels of the debtor except Oxen and Plough-Beasts and the moyety of his Land by a reasonable extent till the debt be levied And if he be Ejected out of the Land he shall have an Assise and afterwards a Writ of Redisseisin if need be And this last Writ is called an Elegit which is given upon a Statute also Stat. 32 H. 8. cap. 5. That for all things recorded before the Kings Justices or contained in Fines whether Contracts Covenants Obligations Services or Customs acknowledged or any other things inrolled the Execution shall be within the year but after the year a Scire facias whereupon if satisfaction be not made or good cause shewed the Sheriff shall be commanded to Execution That if Lands delivered in Execution upon just cause be recovered without Fraud from the Tenant in Execution before he shall have levied and received his whole debt and damages he may have a Scire facias out of the Court from whence he had the Execution returnable in the same Court at a day Forty dayes at the least after the date of such Scire facias at which day if the Defendant being lawfully warned make default or do appear and do not plead a sufficient cause other than the former acceptance of the Lands to avoid the said Suit for the residue of the said debt and damages the said Court shall issue forth a new Writ of Execution for the levying thereof Stat. 1 Jac. cap. 13. If any taken in Execution be delivered by Priviledg of Parliament as soon as the Priviledg ceases the Plaintiff his Executors or Administrators may sue out a new Execution against him and the Sheriff or other Officer shall not be chargeable for the first Arrest Stat. 3 Jac. cap. 8. That no Execution is to be stayed upon any Writ of Error or Supersedeas upon it for reversing of a Judgment for debt or upon a Contract till the Plaintiff be bound in Recognizance with two Sureties in that Court in double the Summe of the Judgment to prosecute it with effect and pay the debt costs and damages if the Judgment be affirmed Stat. 21 Jac. cap. 24. That the party at whose Suit any one is in Execution for debt or damages recovered their Executors or Administrators may after the death of the person so charged and dying in Execution lawfully sue forth new Execution against the Lands and Tenements Goods and Chattels of the person so deceased in like manner as if the person so deceased had never been taken in Execution Howbeit this Act shall
not extend to Lands sold bona fide after the Judgment given when the money raised thereupon is paid or secured to be paid to Creditors in discharge of due debts But to return to Execution wherein we are to consider That the Writs whereby this Execution is made are some of them against the person some of them against the goods some of them against the Lands and some of them against the Body Lands and Goods together Co. 6.87 8.141 For the doing of Execution in a Suit for debt or damages the Writs are the Levari facias the Fieri facias and the Capias ad Satisfaciendum and sometimes the Exigent the Capias Utlagatum and the Capias pro fine The Levari facias is a Judicial Writ directed to the Sheriff for the levying of a summe of money upon the Lands and Tenements of him against whom the Judgment is Reg. Orig. fol. 298. The Fieri facias is a Judicial Writ lying for him that hath recovered in an Action on Debt or Damage directed to the Sheriff commanding him to levy the same of the Defendants goods Old Nat. Bre. 152. The Capias ad Satisfaciendum is a Judicial Writ grounded upon a Statute lying where a man hath recovered in an Action personal any debt or damages in the Kings Court directed to the Sheriff to command him to take the body of him against whom the debt is recovered and to put him in prison till Satisfaction be made to him that recovered And all these three last named Writs are to be sued out within a year and day after the Judgment obtained and not after without Scire facias And if they be sued out within the year they may be continued after the year till Execution Co. on Litt. 290. The Exigent is a Writ that lyeth where the Defendant in an Action personal cannot be found nor any thing within the County to be attached or distrained and is directed to the Sheriff to proclaim and call him five County days one after another charging him to appear under pain of Outlawry And if he be Outlawed then all his Goods and Chattels are forfeited And this mostly goeth forth before Judgment and in some cases after Judgment If it be before Judgment there must go before it three Writs of Capias ad Respondendum with a Non est inventus upon each of them returned But if it be after Judgment as it may on a Capias ad Computandum or Capias ad Satisfaciendum there it may issue out after the first Capias Termes del Ley. The Capias Utlagatum is a Writ of Execution or after Judgment which lyeth against him that is Outlawed upon any Suit directed to the Sheriff commanding him upon receit thereof to apprehend the party Outlawed for his contempt in not appearing upon the Exigent and to keep him in safe custody until c. and to bring him into the Court at the day of the return of the Writ where he is to remain without bail or mainprise Co. 12.103 There is also a special Writ in this case called a Capias Utlagatum inquiras de bonis et Catallis which is a Writ in a manner the same with the former but that it gives a farther power to the Sheriff over and besides the apprehension of his body to inquire of and seize upon his Goods and Chattels to the Kings use Old N. B. 154. The Capias pro fine is where a Judgment is given in a Case for a Plaintiff and it is in such a case where the Defendant is also to pay a Fine to the King the which being not paid to command the Sheriff to take and imprison him till he pay his Fine to the King Co. 3.1 2 3. The Extendi facias is that which is called the Writ of Extent whereby the value of Lands c. is commanded to be made and levied For to extend doth signifie in Law to value the Lands or Tenements of one bound by Statute c. who hath forfeited his Bond to such an indifferent rate as by the yearly Rent the Obligor may in time be paid his debt F.N.B. 131. And Extent doth sometimes signifie a Writ to the Sheriff for the valuing of Lands or Tenements and sometimes the Act of the Sheriff upon this Writ And if the Sheriff delay to execute the Writ of Extendi facias in the delivery of Lands Goods and Chattels of the Conusor to the Conusee that are apprised and taken into his hands upon the Extent he may be be forced to it by a Writ called a Liberate The Elegit is a Judicial Writ grounded upon the Statute and lyeth for him that hath recovered debt or damages in the Kings Court against one not able in his Goods to satisfie directed to the Sheriff to command him to make delivery of half the parties Lands and Tenements and all his Goods Oxen and Beasts for the Plough excepted Old Nat. Bre. 152. Reg. Orig. 129 299. The Scire Facias is a Judicial Writ most commonly to call a man to shew cause to the Court whence it is sent why Execution of a Judgment passed should not be made And this commonly is not granted before a year and a day be passed after the Judgment given In which cases for the most part Execution is not grantable until this Writ and the return thereof be had and past Vet.

And here observe That Executions may be arrested and stayed by the Court wherein the Judgment is given By the Common Law for a debt for which a man had Judgement he could have had neither Body nor Lands in Execution in case of a common person but the Goods and Chattels and Profits of the Lands except in case of an heir chargeable by the deed of his Ancestor but the Law is now otherwise for at this day upon a Judgment given for debt or damages in the Courts of Record at Westminster generally the moyety of all the Land that the Defendant hath tempore redditionis judicii or at any time after and all the Goods and Chattels he hath tempore Executionis or the day of the Writ awarded shall be subject and lyable to the Executionâ— and all these may be taken in Execution by the Sheriff into whose hands soever they be come Dyer 306.34 Co. 3.12 34 H. 6.45 The Ca. sa did not lye at the Common Law against any man for debt but in case of the King until 25 E. 3.17 Vide Co. 3. in Sir William Herberts Case How the Sheriff and his Officers are to perform their Office in doing execution the following Observations will shew 1. If the Sheriff have a Writ of Execution delivered to him and a Writ of discharge or Supersedeas come to the Sheriff but he hath not notice of it In this case he may serve
Prisoner be removed out of the Fleet that was there in Execution out of the Common-Pleas and he be removed by a Habeas Corpus cum causa and then sent to the Marshalsey for another debt and escape from thence In this case the Keeper of the Marshalsey and not the Warden of the Fleet shall be chargeable for both the first and the second debt Co. 4.98 Dyer 278. 10. If a Woman be Warden of the Fleet and she hath Prisoner one in Execution at my Suit and they marry together this shall be adjudged an escape in Law in the Woman for the prisoner is now by Law discharged So if a man have a Prison in Fee and his son and heir be his prisoner and he dye and the prison descend to his son this will be an escape in Law in the Guardian for which I may have an Action of Escape Plowd 37. The Statutes concerning this Point are Westm 2. cap. 18. He that recovereth debt or damages in the Kings Court may at his choyce have a Scire facias of the Lands and Chattels of the debtor or a Writ for the Sheriff to deliver him all the Chattels of the debtor except Oxen and Plough Beasts and the moyety of his Land by a reasonable Extent till the debt be levied And if he be ejected out of the Land he shall have an Assise and afterwards a Writ of Redisseisin if need be Stat. 32 H. 8. cap. 5. Lands lawfully delivered in Execution upon a Judgment or Recognisance being evicted without any fraud or default in the Tenant before he have levied the whole debt and damages the Recoverer and the Recognisee shall have a Scire facias out of the same Court where Execution was awarded returnable there full Forty dayes after the date And thereupon a new Writ of Execution of the nature of the former to levy the rest of his debt and damages if the Defendant make default or shew no good matter in barre Westm 2. cap. 46. For all things recorded before the Kings Justices or contained in Fines whether Contracts Covenants Obligations Services or Customs acknowledged or any other things enrolled A Writ of Execution shall be within the year so as the parties shall not need to plead After the year a Scire facias Of a Statute A Statute as it is taken for a legal assurance is an Obligation of Record and it is so called because it is made in pursuance of and according to the Form particularly provided for the same and is of three sorts viz. 1. A Statute Merchant 2. A Statute-Staple 3. A Recognisance 1. The Statute-Merchant is a Bond acknowledged before one of the Clerks of the Statutes Merchant and Mayor c. of the City of London or two Merchants of the said City for that purpose assigned or before the Mayor of York c. chief Warden Master or Mayor of other Cities or Towns or before the Bayliffs of any Burrough or other sufficient men for that purpose appointed sealed with the Seal of the Debtor or Recognisor and of the King which is of two pieces the greater is kept by the Mayor c. and the lesser by the said Clerks This is upon 13 E. 1.

Gent. and S. H. of D. in the said County of L. Gent. c. five hundred pounds of lawful money of England to be paid to the said E F. and S. H. or to their certain Attorney Executors or Assigns on the Feast of St. c. next coming after the date of these presents And if he shall fail in the payment of the aforesaid summe of Money at the Feast aforesaid that then the said R.T. for himself his Executors and Assigns willeth and granteth That the said summe of money shall be levied of his Lands and Tenements Goods and Chattels to the use of the said E.F. and S. H. their Executors and Assigns Witness our said Lord the King at Westminster the day and year above mentioned And these kinds of Statutes although at first ordained and used for Merchants onely yet at this day it is and may be used by any others and it is become one of the most frequent and usual assurances in the Kingdom 2. The Staple doth signifie this or that Town whither the Merchants by common order and command do carry their Commodities as Wooll and the like to vent and utter by the great or whole-sale The Statute-Staple is either properly or improperly so called That which is properly so called is a Bond of Record acknowledged before the Mayor of the Staple in the presence of one of the two Constables of the same Staple and sealed with the Seal of the Staple and sometimes also with the Seal of the party which it seems is not absolutely necessary This was devised and used only for Merchants and Merchandizes of the same Staple and is founded upon 27 E. 3. Stat. 2. Co. super Litt. 289. But this now may be used by Merchants or any other for the payment of debts or assurance of Lands or other things and is of the same nature with the Statute-Merchant A Statute-Staple improperly so called is an Obligation of Record founded upon the Statute of 23 H. 8.6 and is in the nature of a Statute-staple and of the same force This is and may be acknowledged before one of the Chief Justices and in their absence before the Mayor of the Staple at Westminster and the Recorder
Execution upon a Statute or Recognisance and when and how Wherein take notice 1. That when a man doth enter into a Statute or Recognisance the Land of the Conusor is not the debtor but the Body And the Land is lyable onely in respect that it is in the hands of the Conuâ—or at the time of the acknowledging of the Statute or afterwards and the Land is not charged with the debt but chargeable onely at the election of the Conusee but the person is chargeable and the Land in respect of the person And therefore although the Conusor alien his Land to another yet he remains debtor still and his body and goods shall be taken in Execution Plow 72. 2. That the body of the Conusor himself but not the body of his Heir Executor or Administrator is lyable to Execution and may be taken although there be Lands Goods and Chattels to satisfie the debt 3. That all the Demesne Lands Tenements and Hereditaments corporeal and incorporeal of the Conusor that are grantable over as his Mannors Messuages Lands meadows Pastures Woods Rents Commons Tythes Advowsons and the like also his Goods and Chattels as Leases for years and all his Emblements Cattel Housholdstuff and the like and Wardships when they were in being are lyable to Execution upon a Statute But Annuities Offices in Trust Seigniories in Frank-almoigne Homage Fealty Right to Land things in action and such like are not liable to such Execution Co. 3.12 Plow 72. Co. 2.59 Litt. Sect. 318. Dyer 7.205 Co. on Litt. 174. Doct. Stud. 53. Co. 2. Part. Inst 397. 4. All the Lands Tenements and Hereditaments which the Conusor had at the time of the Recognisance entred into or at any time after in whose hands soever or by what means soever the same are come at the time of the Execution shall be subject and lyable to the Execution But the Lands which the Conusor had and did put away before the time of the Statute or Recognisance entred into are not lyable And all the Goods and Chattels the Conusor hath or are found in his hands at the time when the Execution is to be made by Extendi facias are lyable But the Goods and Chattels he had and did bona fide do away before the time of Execution done are not lyable to the Execution Co. 3.12 5. The Conusee upon other Recognizances shall have the same things in execution as a man shall have after a Judgment in a Suit in the Kings-Bench or Common Pleas by Fieri facias or Levari facias all his Goods and Chattels and by Elegit the moiety of his Lands and all his Chattels besides the Cattel of his Plow and Implements of Husbandry But in these cases he cannot take the body of the Conusor in Execution unless it be upon a new Suit or in case of Bayl in the Kings Bench. Plow 72. Co. 3.12 Dyer 306. In the next place I will shew you the Method how a Statute or Recognizance is to be executed and all the proceedings thereupon Wherein observe That Recognisances are of two sorts 1. Such as are usually taken in the Kings Courts of Record at Westminster 2. Such as are in the nature of a Statute staple by the Statute of 23 H. 8. The proceedings upon the Statute Staple and the Recognisance founded on the 23 H. 8. aforesaid in the execution thereof are in the same manner as the proceedings in the Statute Merchant which I mention hereafter but with these differences 1. Upon the execution of the Statute-Merchant there issues forth a Capias against the Body before any execution be made of the Lands or Goods and Chattels and the Lands and goods cannot be extended till a quarter of a year be past after the Body is taken or the Sheriff have teturned a Non est Inventus But upon the execution of the Statute-Staple and the Recognisance the Body goods and Lands may be taken altogether at once Then secondly Upon a Statute-Merchant one may have an Action of debt but otherwise it is of a Statute-staple And thirdly The Capias upon the Statute-Merchant may be returnable in the Kings-Bench or Common-Pleas but the Writ of Execution upon the other is to be returnable in Chancery F.N.B. 130 131. Co. on Litt 290. Fourthly That in a Statute-Staple presently after the Certificate into the Chancery the Conusee shall have a Writ to take his body and extend his Lands and Goods returnable in Chancery which is a Commission directed to the Sheriff of the County where the Goods and Lands lye for the valuing thereof whereby they shall be apprised at a reasonable rate by a Jury of sworn men impanelled by the Sheriff for that purpose which Inquisition returned by the Sheriff he may take and deliver the Lands and Goods to the Conusee To hold the same till he be satisfied of his debt and damages or if he refuse the Conusee may force him to it by a Liberate Dyer 180. Co. 4.67 The proceedings upon a Statute Merchant are That the Conusee may if he please bring his Statute to the Mayor Clerk or other Officer before whom it was acknowledged and there if they find the record of it and the day to be past for the payment of the money they are to apprehend and imprison the body of the Conusor if he be a Lay-person and can be found within their Jurisdiction And if he cannot be found then they are to certifie the Record into Chancery And this they may be compelled to by Certiorari if otherwise they refuse to do it And upon a Nihil returned upon a Testatum est he may have process into another County but otherwise it is of goods And if that Certificate be faulty or Execution be not done upon it by reason of the Conusees death or otherwise the Conusee or his Executor or Administrator may have another Certificate and thereupon he shall have a Writ of Capias out of the Chancery directed to the Sheriff of the County where the Conusor lives to apprehend and imprison him if he be not a Clergy-man and this to be returned into the Kings Bench or Common-Pleas And when the Conusor is taken he shall have time for a quarter of a year to make his agreement with the Conusee and to sell his Lands or Goods to satisfie him And to that purpose he himself may sell his Lands and Goods although he be in prison and the sale thereof will be good and lawful But if in that time he do not satisfie the Conusor or if upon the Capias the Sheriff return a Non est inventus then by another or divers Writs if the Lands and Goods lye in divers Counties called Extendi facias to all the Sheriffs of the Counties where he hath Lands whereby they shall be commanded to extend his Lands and goods and to deliver the goods to him and the Lands To hold to him and his heirs till the debt be levied or paid And this Act of the Sheriff
and Jury upon this Writ is called an Extent And if the Sheriff or Apprisors upon the Extendi facias over-value the Lands or Goods in favour to the debtor the Conusee hath no remedy but by motion in that Court where the Writ is returnable at the Return day or at least the same Term to desire that the Apprisors may take the Lands or Goods at the rate they have valued them in the same manner as the Corusee is to have them And a Sale made of Goods in this case by the Sheriff is as strong as if it were in Market-overt And when the Conusee is in possession of Lands by such an Extent as before then is he Tenant by Statute And after the Conusee is once setled in peace in the Lands extended he shall hold them till he be satisfied his debt and his reasonable costs and damages for travel suit delay and expence See for this Dyer 299. Co. 5.87 F.N.B. 130. Co. on Litt. 290. Co. 2. Part Inst 395 396. The proceedings upon the other kinds of Recognisances are after another manner For upon Recognizances at the Common Law if the money be not paid at the day the Conusee his Executor or Administrator is to bring a Scire facias against the Conusor or if he be dead against his heir when he is of full age or if the Lands the Conusor had at the time of entring into the Recognisance be sold against the Purchasors of them which the Conusor had at any time after the Recognisance entred into to warn them to come into the Court whence the Scire facias issued to shew cause why Execution should not be made upon the said Recognisance and if the party or parties cannot be sound to be warned or being warned do not appear at the time or appearing do not shew cause why the debt should not be levied In this case the Conusee shall have Execution of his moiety by Elegit or if the Conusor be living of all his Goods by Levari or Fieri facias at his Election but he may not have Execution of his Body unless he bring an Action of Debt upon the Recognisance as in this case he may do or it be by the course of the Court as it is in the Kings Bench on a Bayl wherein a Capias doth lye Dyer 315 360 366. The proceedings against the Sureties upon Statutes are to be in the same manner as the proceeding against the Principal And yet where the Principal hath moveables to satisfie the debt the Surety as it seems is not to be charged I will Illustrate this matter in the next place with some few Cases And first 1. Tenant by Elegit upon Judgments and Recognisances is to hold the Land until he be answered his debt without his costs and Mises c. But Tenant by Statute Merchant Statute-Staple or by Recognisance in nature of a Statute-Staple is to hold the Land c. untill he be paid his debt together with his Mises and Costs Co. 2. part Inst 678. 2. In case where Extenders upon Elegit or other Writ of Execution or upon a Recognisance in Court do extend the Land too high they shall not be forced to take it at the rate as the Extenders of Land for Execution upon a Statute-Merchant Staple or Recognisance in nature of a Statute-Staple shall be Bendloes Rep. 15. Co. on Litt. 290. Yelverton 55. 3. If one seised of White-acre Black-acre and Green-acre enter into a Statute or Judgment against him and then he enfeoffeth A. of White-acre and B. of Black-acre and keep Green-acre to himself in this case the Conusee or Plaintiff may have his Execution upon the moiety of Green-acre and not meddle with the other two Acres if he please but he may not in such case extend a moiety only in the hands of both the purchasors but he must extend a moiety in the hands of both the purchasors and of all the rest of the Land subject to the Execution for if he leave out any 〈◊〉 it the party grieved thereby will have his remedy and avoid the Execution by Audita Querela for where the Books say each purchaser shall have contribution in that case it is intended that such extent shall be avoided of that part and all the Land shall be extended and equally charged And so it is in this case where Green-acre shall descend to an heir there the Conusee may extend onely the moiety of this Acre in the hand of the heir and not meddle with the two Acres in the hands of the purchasors if he please But where there be two or more Conusors in a Statute c. there the Lands of them all and not of one of them are to be extended Co. 2. part Inst 396. 4. If two persons recover against one in debt severally and he that hath the first Judgment sues an Elegit and hath the moyety of the Land in Execution and then the other sues an Elegit In this case he that last sueth shall have but a moyety of the moyety that is left Cro. 3.482 5. If the Conusee on a Statute or Recognisance in nature of a Statute receive his whole debt by the Land yet may not the Counsor enter but where upon an Elegit he is satisfied there the Conusor may enter on his Land Co. 2. Part. Inst 600. In the last place I will give you the Statutes concerning this matter Westm 2. cap. 46. For all things recorded before the Kings Justices or contained in Fines whether Contracts Covenants Obligations Services or Customs acknowledged or any other things enrolled a Writ of Execution shall be within the year so as the parties shall not need to plead c. Stat. de Acton Burnell 11 E. 1. A Debt acknowledged to a Merchant before the Mayor of London York or Bristol or before a Mayor or Clerk appointed by the King thereunto shall be enrolled And if the Debtor fail of his payment at the day the Debtee or his Executors may call for Execution and upon notice thereof to the Mayor and Clerk they shall cause his Chattels and Moveables to be sold as far as the debt doth amount by Apprisement of honest men and the money without delay shall be paid to the Creditor and in case they cannot sell them they shall cause so much of the moveables to be delivered to him as amounts to the debt and the Kings Seale shall be put to the sale and deliverance and if the Debtor have no moveables within the Mayors Jurisdiction then shall the Mayor send the Recognisance unto the Chancellor under the Kings Seal and the Chancellor shall thereupon direct a Writ to the Sheriff in whose Bayliffwick the Moveables of the Debtor be who shall proceed therein as the Mayor might have done if the Moveables had been in his power If the Apprizors set too high a value on the things that are to be sold they shall be compellable to take them at the same prices and shall
