Plaintif wherefore if we shall not allow this Plea we shall take the Defendant from his remedy to plead which God forbid And in 2 Ed. 4. fol. 6. b. In Trespass the Defendant shewed speciall matter in London where the Action was brought in Midlesex Tota Curia Nelson Prothonotarie hath shewed a president in 2 Ed. 4. where such a Plea as this was pleaded wherefore the Plea is good 6. NElson Trespass Prothonotary brought a Writ of Trespass against another in effect the case was thus The Abbot of Westminster was seised of Lands Vnity of possession of Common to which he had common in the Lands of a Prior afterwards by the Statute of Dissolutions as well the Lands of the Abbot as of the Prior were given to King Hen. 8. And after that the Dean of Westminster had a grant of the Mannor which the Abbot had and Nelson had the other Mannor which the Prior had into which a Tenant of the Deans put his beasts 11 H. 4. 5. 14 H. 4. 24 E. 3. 25. Br. Extinguishment 14 Ass pl. 20. claiming Common as once it was in the hands of the Prior and Nelson brought his Action of Trespass Walmisley moved that the Tenant should have his Common Peryam Is this a new case It hath been adjudged heretofore that by the union of possession the Common is gone Anderson to Walmisley Have you any reason why the Common shall not be gone Walmisley No my Lord if the Statute will not help us for the Statute is that the King shall have it in the same plight as the Abbot had it and the Abbot had Common ergo c. Windam So is the Statute but the Statute doth not say that it shall continue so in the hands of the King and it is impossible that it shall continue in the hands of the King as it was in the hands of the Abbot therefore the Common is gone Rodes assented 7. MOor brought a Quare impedit Quare impedit after Judgment had a Writ to the Bishop of Norwich and at the alias the Bishop returned that after the awarding of the first Writ and before the receipt of the second the Queen had presented the same Defendant by her Letters Patents who is admitted instituted and inducted so that c. Shuttleworth moved that the Ordinary might be amerced for his evill Return for when he had Judgement to Recover he ought to have the effect of his Judgement for else it shall be in vain to sue a Quare impedit and thereupon he avouched the case in 21 Hen. 7. 8. 21 Eliz. 364. Dyer that the other Clerk shall be removed Anderson the Return is not good for me seemeth in a Quare impedit when one which hath title Paramount presents Title Paramount en qu. imp hanging the Writ then allthough the Plaintif hath Judgement to Recover yet his Clerk shall not be removed but if it be under or after the title of the Plaintif or Defendant then his Clerk shall be removed and here he hath returned that the Queen hath presented the same man which is Defendant and therefore he shall be amerced Windham to the same intent and cited the case of Long 5 Edw. 4. fol. 115. b. Rodes cited the case in Fitzherbert Quare non admisit fol. 47. k. and Bassets case in 9 Eliz. Dyer Alit en pr. quod reddat fol. 260. Anderson In a Praecipe quod reddat if the Sherif return upon the habere facias seisinam that another hath recovered by title Paramount against the Defendant and hath execution he shall be amerced Peryam How doth it appear to us that he which the Queen hath presented is the same Defendant Shuttleworth By the Return Peryam No Sir and therefore it is good to be advised And after Windham doubted for the same cause Et adjornatur 8. TRistram Ayscough Dower and Eulaleia his Wife brought a Writ of Dower of the endowment of her first Husband the Defendant pleaded in bar that an Annuitie was granted to her first Husband and her self in recompense of her Dower which she after his death accepted and the Plaintif replyed quod recusavit praedict annuitatem after the death of her husband Gawdy The Plea is nor good Anderson Your intent is Disagreement in pais for that she disagreed in the Country and not in a Court of Record that the disagreement shall not be good but I think not so for if she say in the Country that she will not have the sayd Annuity this is a good refusall and if she once disagree she can never agree afterwards quod tota Curia concessit but peradventure recusavit is no good pleading 9. FRancis Windham Quid juris clamat one of the Justices of the Common Pleas brought a Quid juris elamat against the Lady Gresham to have Attornment of certain lands comprised within the note of a Fine levied to him by one R. Read The Lady pleaded that certain persons were seised of those Lands and held them of King Hen. 8. by Knights service and enfeoffed W. Read and the Lady then his Wie to have and to hold to them and the heirs of the husband who devised the reversion after the death of the Lady to the sayd R. Read in tayl the remainder c. and that the said R. Read levyed the Fine c. whereupon Windham demurred in Law Gawdy The Plea is not good for divers causes the one is for the pretence of the Tenant for that the Lands were held by Knights service the Devise is voyd for the third part so that therein the Conisor hath nothing but she doth not shew who had the reversion of the third part which she ought to shew and thereupon he vouched 30 Ed. 3. fol. 7. 34 Ed. 3. quid juris clamat 14 E. 3. Fitzh Quid juris cl The Defendant said that he held not of the Conisor he ought to shew who had the inheritance and 30 Hen. 6. fol. 8. in Wast brought by Radford Another cause is for that in the end of her Plea she demandeth Judgement Eisdem si pro eisdem duabus partibus she ought to Attorn and she doth not speak of any two parts before and therefore it is not good and vouched 7 Ed. 6. in the Comentaries Parliament held praedict 28 Ap. 9 Edw. 4. bona praedict J. S. and doth not speak of any J. S. before Then for the matter in Law for that the Conisor was but Tenant in tayl this notwithstanding it seemeth she ought to Attorn and therupon he cited the case in 48 E. 3. fol. 23. in per quae servicia 24 E. 3. Tenant in tayl of a reversion of a Mannor levies a Fine the Tenant for life ought to Attorn And 3 Ed. 3. quid juris c.

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 injuri● 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 Cur●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 hath● 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
charges except Rents and Services which shall be due after c. to the chief Lord And afterward he made and levyed a fine And after the Wife maried and then the Son entred and the Administrator of the Wife brought debt upon the Obligation against the Administrators of him in Reversion and averred that the Land at the time of the Feoffment was charged with the said Lease of 31 yeares Walmisley It seemeth that Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif because it was not discharged at the time of the Feoffment For in the Commentaries a man Deviseth his Term to his Wife until his Son come to full age Com. fo 539. after at his full age the Son shall have it so that there it was chargable to the Entry of the Son hereafter And here allthough that it be not presently charged yet when there is a charge arise the Covenant is broken And for that in 8 Eliz. a man bargains and sells Land Rent charge future and Covenants that it shall be discharged of all charges and he had granted a Rent before to begin twenty years after when the Rent begins it shall be said a breach And this is not like the case in 3 Hen. 7. 12. b. Where Tenant in Tayl disseiseth the Tenant of the Land c. And so I think Judgement shall be given for the Plaintif Fenner to the contrary and here the Term was extinct by the grant end sale and then the Feoffment void and therefore no charge and thereupon no charge at the time of the Feoffment and for that he cited 42 Ed. 3. 11 Hen. 7. 20. where Tenant in Dower infeoffs the Heir without deed c. so here in that she took nothing by the Feoffment there was no charge at the time of the Feoffment And this possibility of a remainder doth not make an interest and thereupon he cited 8 Ed. 3. 3. Fitz. resceipt 35 Resceit upon Cond where Tenant for life lets the Land to one upon condition that if he dye in the life of the Lessor that it shall retourn to the Lessor c. upon such a matter he may be received and he cited for that the case of Wheler 14 Hen. ● fol. 17. and a title suspended is no title 3 Hen. 7. 12. 30 Ed. 3. Lease for life upon condition that if the Rent be behind then he shall retain the Land c. and he said that the opinion of B●omley in Fulmerstons case was contrary thereunto but yet he said in 3 Eliz. he hath a report which was adjudged contrary to the opinion of Bromley And allso he cited 50 Ed. 3. that a man shall not have the Rent and the Tenancy of the Land allso And so it seemed to him that the Plaintif shall be barred 18. THE case of Fr. Ashpool was moved again by Fenner Hue and cry and it seemed to him that the Plaintif ought to make Hue and cry for as he said it hath allwaies been the manner of pleading and allso it hath been allwaies parcell of his issue to prove Allso he argued that he should not have remedy by the Statute post occasum solis For Stamford saith expresly that if a man be robbed in the day that he shall have remedy and the day shall be said but from the rising of the Sun to the fall thereof for the words of the Statute are that the Gates of the walled Towns shall be shut ab occasu usque ad ortum solis and then if the Gates be shut and that walled Town be within a Hundred how can they make Hue and cry And the case in 3 Ed. 3. is not like to this case Fresh suit by the Hundreders for there it was enquired and found of the Dozen Anderson The fresh suit mentioned in the Statute ought to be made by the Inhabitants and not by the parties and I am of your opinion that Hue and cry was at the Common Law but what of that But look the Statute and there is no word of Hue and cry And the Statute of 28 Ed. 3. is an exposition of that Statute and there is no mention thereof but Fresh suit is there mentioned which ought to be made by the Inhabitants And by those Statutes it seemeth clearly that the Inhabitants ought to guard the Country in such sort as men may safely travell without robbing And for the night Sir wee ought to construe it as it is most reasonable and about the setting of the Sun is the common time of robbing and therefore if this shall not be intended by the Statute nothing shall be intended and allthough the walled Towns cannot persue Walled Towns may keep the waies yet they may keep the waies so that no robberies shall be committed and this is both day and night as I think And if a man be slain in the robbery so that no Hue and cry can be made I doubt not but the Country shall answer for the robbery A man is robbed slain and bound and so if he be bound And if Hue and Cry ought to be when ought it to be For if a man be bound two dayes together he had as good make no Hue and cry as make Hue and cry afterwards and yet I hope you will agree that this man shall be relieved by the Statute which case was agreed by all the Court. Peryam The day without doubt is after the Sun-set Day after Sun-set Rodes cited the case of waging Battail in an Appeal in Stamford And so by agreement of all the Justices Judgement was entred for the Plaintif but Fenner sayd privately that in his conscience it was against the Law yet notwithstanding all the Judges were clear in opinion and the Serjeants of the other part allso So that it seemed to the Judges that no Hue and Cry is necessary by the party for they all agreed that the Country ought to be kept so that no Robberies be committed And Anderson and Rodes affirmed precisely that it is not necessary and the other agreed in the reason thereof and sayd that it is not mentioned in the Statute but sayd that the waies ought to be kept so that men may travell safely or otherwise it is against the Statute 19. IN a Writ of False Judgement brought against the Mayor Tryall Sherifs Citizens and Commonalty of Norwich it was moved where the Issue shall be tryed and per Curiam it shall not be tryed there but yet the Action may be used there And in the same case it was demanded Summons if the Sherif may summon himself and the Court answered that he could not and Peryam sayd that so it hath been adjudged here many times 20. THe ●ast day of the Term the matter of Lassels was moved again and it seemed to Anderson that the Obligation is voyd in that there is an express form limited by the Statute and this varying from the form in substance is voyd for in his opinion he excludes the
in the Fleet Appearance was brought to the Common place bar by hab●as corpus to the intent to have him appear to an Originall in debt brought against him And being demanded by Goldesburg Clark whether he were the same party against whom the Originall was brought confessed it but denied to appear to the Action Br●●ke● Prothonotary said the Court ought to record his appearance confessing himself to be the same person but the whole Court said this was no appearance whereby he was remanded to the Fleet And Tamworth the Plaintif proceeded to the outlary against him 2. PRice brought an Action of Trover against Sir Walter Sands Frandulent deeds Trin. xxxviii Eli. And this was for finding of Corn. And the first point of the case was That a man had a Lease in Reversion and granted it to another by fraud and his Grantee granted that over to Sir Walter Sands bona fide And if this Grant over bona fide being derived out of a Fraudulent Estate shall be void per the Statute of 27 Eliz. or not was the question Harris Serjeant It seemeth the Grant to Sir Walter Sands to be good And not within the Statute of 27 Eliz. For 33 He● 6. 28. If a man make a Feoffment in Fee by Collusion to the intent to defraud the Lord of the Wardship And after this Feoffee by Collusion make a Feoffment over bona fide Now the Lord is without remedy for the Collusion is gone And in this case there is an ignorance in Sir Walter Sands the which is not willfull and for that it is not punishable Notice But if the other had taken the profits so that the purchaser might have notice there it should be otherwise The ● cause was non constat whether the Grant were before the Statute of 27 Eliz. or not For if it were before then the party shall not answer the mean profits Allso a third matter is ten yeares of the Term was granted for money But when he granted the Residue of the Term and no Consideration expressed Consideration expressed then there shall be no consideration intended And if there were no Consideration given he is not holpen by the Statute For that helpeth a Frandulent Conveyance against purchasers for Consideration given or paid Et non constat that any thing was paid by the Plaintif Allso it appeareth that Sir VValter Sands was in possession at the making of the Statute Allso here the party is charged with a speciall fraud And the other saith that it was made bona fide And this is a good course of pleading without any Traverse per 4 Ed. 4. 24. 3. HUgh Hall brought an Action upon his case for words and declared Slander that where he himself was robbed of divers parcels of Cloth per quendam ignotum and made his integrity and indeavour to apprehend the said thief praedictns tamen defendens praemissorum non ignarus dixit de praefato Hugone viz. Hugh Hall hath received three parcells of his Cloth again of the thief And if I receive any hurt henceforth I will charge him with it And by Judgement of the Court the words are not actionable 4. THe Lady VVilloughby Wife to the late Sir Francis VVilloughby Caveat sued in the Chancery as Administratrix of her said Husband against Percivall Willoughby which had maried one of the Daughters of the said Sir Francis And the Defendant pleaded that before any Administration commited to the said Plaintif he himself put in a Caveat in the Spirituall Court hanging which Caveat she hath attained these Letters of Administration Appeal whereby the Defendant hath appealed 〈◊〉 which appeal is not yet determined for which he demanded Judgement if hanging this appeal the said Plaintif shall be received to sue in this Court as Administratrix And it seemed to Egerton then Lord Keeper of the great Seal that the Defendants plea is good to stay the suit untill the appeal be determined But not to be dismissed out of the Court Appeal Er●●● Difference no more than an excommunication And he said there is difference between an appleal in Spirituall Law and a Writ of Error in our Law For by the purchasing of a Writ of Error the Judgement is not impeached untill the Record be rehearsed But the very bringing of an appeal is a suspension of the first Judgement in the Spirituall Court for the principall matter but not for the costs and for to prove that he cited 2 R. 2.

IN the Chauncery a speciall Verdict was retorned upon an extent Execution u●on an exte●t of a Remainder And the case was this that there was Tenant for li●e the Remainder in Tail and the Tenant in Remainder in Tail made a Statute Staple and after granted his Remainder And after the Tenant for life died 〈◊〉 Bull 〈◊〉 and the Grantee of the Remainder entered And whether Execution shall be sued of this land upon the said Statute insomuch that the said land was never in Demeasne in the hands of the Co●●so● 〈◊〉 ●ames 〈◊〉 and so not extendable in his hands was the question And Sr. Thomas Egerton Lord Keeper of the great seal said that before that time there had been a difference taken between a Remainder and a Reversion depending upon an estate for life For to a Remainder are no services due nor incident and for that it is termed Seck But a Reversion hath services incident and those may be extended and by consequence the Reversion when it commeth in possession B●t it seemed unto him that all was one for one may charge a Remainder when it happeneth aswell as a Reversion and a Statute is in the nature of a charge Cook the Queenes Attourney said there was no question in the Case for albeit there was some scruple made in 33 H. 8. B. 227. yet the Case is without question for if he in the Remainder make a lease for yeares to commence at a day to come Yet if he grant over his Remainder the Grantee shall hold that charged with his lease And every Statute is a charge Executory By which the said Lord Keeper awarded that there should be a liberate made to the Conusee upon the retorn above 6. OVerton brought an action of Debt against Sydall Debt by a Successor against an Executor after assignment And the case was that Prebendary made a lease for yeares rendring rent and the Lessee died and the Executors of the Lessee assigned over the Term and the Successor of the Prebend brought an action of Debt against the Executors for rent due after that they had assigned the estate over and the opinion of three Justices was that the action would not lye But Popham the chief Justice held the contrary For the Successor is privie to the Contract of the predecessor And so the Executor to the contract of the Testator

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.

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 Coni●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

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
and did not say praedict Edward Seymour And all the Justices agreed that this was amendable And so the first judgement was affirmed 18. 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. Trinitat An. Reg. Eliz. xxx 1. RAlph Heidon brought a Writ of Right against Smethwick and his Wife Droit of two parts of forty Acres of Land in Surret and they pleaded that one Ibgrave was seised and devised it to his Wife now one of the Tenants for term of her life the remainder to Benjamin Ibgrave in fee Praying ayd in an Assise which was his heir and dyed and they prayed in ayd of B. I. who came and joyned to them and thereupon they came and pleaded to the grand Assise and the first day of this term the Assise appeared and sixteen were sworn whereof four were Knights and the residue were Squires and Gentlemen and the title was all one as before in T. 28 Eliz. for this same Ibgrave was Tenant in that other Action for the third part And the opinion of all the Court clearly that it is not ayded by the Statute for there is not any certainty in the Grant Name certain but if he had given it a certain name as green Acre then allthough he had mistaken the Parish yet it had been good enough Peryam The Assise may goe their way and they did so and after they being agreed came again to the Bar and the Demandant was called and did not appear whereby the Tenant prayed the Court to record the Nonsuit and it was done Curia All is one as if he had appeared Non-suits for this Non-suit is peremptory for ever the issue being joyned upon the meer droit aliter if the issue had been joyned upon any collaterall poynt 2. 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. And then he shewed the case that two had submitted themselves for all quarrels ultimo die Novembris An. 24. to stand to the Arbitrement of two others and they Arbitrated that the Plaintif in this Writ of Error should release to the now Defendant all Actions which he might
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 ●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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Eliz. if a Prisoner in Execution escape and the Jaylor make fresh suit and before the re-taking the party bring his Action against the Jaylor now the Jaylor may not re-take the Prisoner as to be in execution for the Plaintif again but onely for his own indempnity but if the party doe not bring his Action then the Jaylor may re-take his Prisoner and he shall be in Execution again for the Plaintif Wast For by Popham this Case is like to Wast the which if it be repaired before the Action brought the party shall not have an Action 115.

SR Henry Jones Knight Error in fine and remedy and I. his Wife the Wife being then within age levied a Fine of the lands of the Wife and a precipe quod reddat was brought against the Conusee which vouched the Husband and the Wife and they appeared in person and vouched over the common Vouchee which appeared and after made default whereby a Recovery was had and now the said Wife and her second Husband brought a Writ of Error to reverse the Fine and another Writ of Error to reverse the Recovery by reason of the nonage of the woman and the court was of opinion to reverse the Fine but they would advise upon the Recovery for that the said Henry Jones Knight and his Wife appeared in person and vouched over and so the Recovery was had against them by their appearance and not by default and so it seemeth no Error Generall warranty destroieth titles and conditions and to prove that Gawdy cited 1 and 2 Mar. Dyer 104 and 6 H. 8. 61. Saver default 50. Also as this case is it seemeth that by generall entry into warranty the Error upon the Fine is gone as where a man hath cause to have a Writ of right or title to enter for a Condition broken or any other title to land and in a praecipe quod reddat of the same land is vouched and entreth generally into warranty by that the condition or other title is gone but upon examination it was found that the Recovery was before the Fine for the Recovery was Quindena Trin. and the Fine was tres Trin. And so the Recovery doth not give away the Error in the Fine 117.

And alleged that the Testator was Administrator of one Mary Gime which Mary Gime lent the money to the now Defendant Trin. 36. Eliz. and Judgement was given in the Common place against I. S. And upon the Writ of Error Error was assigned for that that the now Plaintif as Administrator of an Administrator brought this Action where the Administration of the first Testatators goods ought newly to have been committed by the Ordinary to the next of Kin and he to whom the Administration of the goods of the first Administrator is committed hath nothing to doe with them And so the Iudgement was Reversed 119. HUmble brought Debt against Glover for arrearages of rent Privity determined of both parts and the case was this that a man made a lease for term of years and after granted the Reversion to the Plaintif and after the Lessee for yeares assigned over his whole estate and interest and after this assignment rent was behind and the Grantee of the Reversion brought Debt against the first Lessee for rent due after his estate assigned over and whether Debt will lye against the Lessee after the assignment was the question and the opinion of all the Judges was that no Debt lyeth for the Grantee of the Reversion against the first Lessee after the assignment of his term for when the privily of the estate is determined of both parts no Debt lyeth and so the Plaintif was barred 120.
