good of such Leases by the said Statute there are nine things necessary to be observed belonging to them all and some other to some of them in particular 1. The Lease must be made by Deed indented 2. He must be made to begin from the day of the making or from the making thereof 3. If there be an old Lease in being it must be surrendred or expired or ended within a year of the making of the Lease and the surrender must be absolute and not conditionall 4. There must not be a double Lease in being at one time As if a Lease for years be made according to the Statute he in the Reversion cannot expulse the Lessee and make a Lease for life or lives according to the Statute nor e converso for the words of the Statute be to make a Lease for three lives or one and twenty yeares so as the one or the other may be made and not both 5. It must not exceed three lives or one and twenty yeares from the making of it but it may be for a Lesser terme or fewer lives 6. It must be of Lands Tenements or Hereditaments maynorable or corporeall which are necessary to be letten and whereunto a Rent by Law may be reserved and not of things that lye in Grant as Advowsons Faires Markets Franchises and the like out whereof a Rent cannot be reserved 7. It must be of Lands or Tenements which have been most commonly letten by the space of twenty years next before the Lease made so as if it be letten for eleven yeares at one or severall times within those twenty yeares it is sufficient A Grant by Copy of Court Roll in fee for life or yeares is a good letting to farme within this Statute for he is but Tenant at will Secund. Cons Manerii And so it is of a Lease at will by the Common Law But those lettings to Farme must be made by some seised of an Estate of inheritance and not by a Guardian in Chivalry Tenant by Gurtesie Tenant in Dower or the like 8. That upon every such Lease there be reserved yearely during the said Lease due and payable to the Lessors their Heirs and Successors c. so much yearly Farme or Rent as hath been most accustomably yeilded and paid for the Land within twenty yeares before such Lease made Hereby first it appeareth that nothing can be demised by authority of this Act but that whereon a Rent may be lawfully reserved Secondly that where not only a yearly Rent was formerly reserved but things not annuall as Herriots or any Fine or other profit at or upon the death of the farmor yet if the yearly rent be reserved upon a Lease made by force of this Statute it sufficeth by the expresse words of the Act And if twenty acres of land have been accustomably letten and a Lease is made of these twenty and one acre which was not accustomably letten reserving the customably yearely rent and so much more as exceeds the value of the other acre this Lease is not warrantably letten and the rent issueth out of the whole If Tenant in taile let part of the land accustomably letten and reserve a rent pro rat or more this is good for that is in substance the accustomable Rent If two Coparceners be Tenant in taile of 20. acres every one of equall value and usually letten and they make partition so as each have ten acres they may make Leases of their severall parts each of them reserving the halfe of the accustomable rent If the usuall Rent had been payable at foure dayes or Feasts of the yeare yet if it be reserved yearly payable at one Feast it is sufficient for the words of the Statute be reserved yearely Ninthly nor to any Lease to be made without impeachment of Waste therefore if a Lease be made for life the Remainder for life c. this is not Warranted by the Statute because it is dispunishable for VVaste but if a Lease be made to one during three lives this is good for the Occupant if any happen shall be punished for VVaste the words of the Statute be seised in the right of his Church yet if a Bishop that is seised in jure Episcopatus A Deane of his sole possessions in jure Decanatus An Arch-deacon in jure Archidiaconatus A Prebendary and the life are within the Statute for every of them is generally seised in jure Ecclesiae All Grants Feoffments Leases and other Conveyances or Estates to any Master or Fellowes of a Colledge Deane and Chapiter Master or Guardian of an Hospitall Parson Vicar c. other then for one and twenty yeares or three lives from the time of such Lease or Grant reserving the accustomable yearely rent yearly payable shall be meerly void 18 Eliz cap. 11. All Leases made by such persons as 13 Eliz. cap. 10. before where another Lease for yeares is in being not to be expired surrendred or ended within three years next after the making of such new Lease shall be void All Bonds and Covenants for renewing or making of any Lease contrary hereunto or to 13 Eliz. cap. 10. before shall be void But a Parson and Vicar are excepted out of the Statute of 32 H. 8. and therefore if either of them make a Lease for three lives c. of lands usually letten reserving the usuall rent it must be also confirmed by the Patron and Ordinary because it is excepted out of 32 H. 8. and not restrained by the Statute of 1. or 13 Eliz. and what hath been said concerning a Lease for three lives doth hold for a Lease of one and twenty yeares Now to speak somewhat of the disabling Statutes of 1. and 13 Eliz. the words of the exception out of the restraint and disability of 1 Eliz. are Notes of things well and duty to be observed other then for the terme of one and twenty years or three lives from such time as any Grant or assurance shall be given whereupon the old and accustomed yearely rent or more shall be reserved And to that effect is the exception in the Statute of 13 Eliz. First it is to be understood that neither of these nor any other do in any sort alter or change the enabling Statute of 32 H. 8â— but leaveth it for a patterne in many things for Lease to be made for others Secondly it is to bee knowne that no lease made according to exceptation of 1 Eliz and 13. Eliz. and not warranted by the Statute of 32 H. 8. if it be made by a Bishop or any sole Corporation but it must be confirmed by the Deanes and Chapiters or others that have interest as hath been said in the case of the Parson and Vicar but examples do illustrate If a Bishop make a Lease for one and twenty yeares and all these yeares being spent saving three or more yet may the Bishop make a new Lease to another for one and twenty yeares to begin from the making
cast up will shew you the yeare of our Lord in which the years shall end so that if your Lease commenced at Michaelmas it will end at Michaelmas in the same yeare Or if it begin the twenty fourth of March in that yeare which is but one day before the end and change of the yeare then it will end the twenty forth of March the said yeare As for example A Lease began Michaelmas Anno. 7. Eliz. 1564. to endure for the terme of ninetie yeares I demand how many yeares is to come of this Lease and when the same terme of yeares will be determined first I set downe the day of the Month and the yeare of our Lord in which the Lease tooke his commencement as at Michaelmas 1564. unto which summ I adde the number of yeares which was granted by the Lease being ninety yeares which being cast up maketh the summe to be one thousand six hundred fifty four in which yeare at Michaelmas the yeares will be expired and the Lease determined then to know how many yeares are to come of the same Lease I set downe the Lease will expire and then substract out of that summe the yeare of our Lord which then is as for example one thousand six hundred twenty eight whereby I find the substracted number to be twenty six and so many yeares there is yet to come from Michaelmas 1628. A Lease was made for eighty yeares to commence at Michaelmas 1567 80 1647. the Lease will end The yeare of our Lord 1628 substracted sheweth that 0019. there is 19. yeares to come at Michaelmas 1628.

next jure propinquitatis that is by right of representation and by right of propinquity And Littleton meaneth of the right of representation for legally in course of discent he is next of blood inheritable And the issue of C. doth represent the person of C. and if C. had lived he had been legally next of blood And whensoever the Father if he had lived should have inherited his lineall heire by right of representation shall inherit before any other though a Mother be jure propinquitatiâ—… neerer of blood But if there be Father and Son and the Father hath a brother that is Uncle to the Son and the Son purchase lands in fee and die without issue living the Father the Uncle shall have the lands as heire to the Son and not the Father yet the Father is neerer of blood because it is a Maxime in Law that inheritance may lineally descend but not ascend yet if the Son in this case die without issue and the Uncle enter into the land as heire to the Son and after the Uncle dieth without issue living the Father the Father shall have the land as heire to the Uncle and not as heire to his Son for that he cometh to the land by collaterall discent and not by lineall ascent and his Uncle enter into the land for if the Uncle in this case doth not enter into the land then cannot the Father inherit the land for there is another Maxime in Law herein implied That a man that claimeth as heir in Fee-simple to any man by discent must make himself heire to him that was last seised of the actual Freehold and inheritance And if the Uncle in this case doth not enter then had he but a Freehold in Law and no actuall Freehold but the last that was seised of the actuall Freehold was the Son to whom the Father cannot make himself heire And therefore Littleton saith And his Uncle enter into the land as he ought by the Law to make the Father to inherit as heire to the Uncle Note that true it is that the Uncle in this case is heire but not absolutely heire for if after the discent to him the Father hath issue a Son or a Daughter that issue shall enter upon the Uncle And so it is if a man hath issue a Son and a Daughter the Son purchaseth land in fee and dieth without issue the Daughter shall inherit the land but if the Father hath afterward issue a Son this Son shall enter into the land as heire to his brother and if he hath issue a Daughter and no Son she shall be Co-partner with her Sister As he ought by the Law These words as a Key do open the secrets of the Law for hereupon it is concluded that where the Uncle cannot get an actuall possession by entry or otherwise there the Father in this case cannot inherit And therefore if an Advowson be granted to the Son and his Heires and the Son die and this discend to the Uncle and he die before he doth or can present to the Church the Father shall not inherit because he should make himself heire to the Son which he cannot do And so of a rent and the like But if the Uncle had presented to the Church or had Seisin of the rent there the Father should have inherited For Littleton putteth his case of an entry into land But for an example if the Son make a Lease for life and die without issue and the Reversion discend to the Uncle and he die the Reversion shall not discend to the Father because in that case he must make himself heire to the Son If the Father make a Lease for years and the Lessee entreth and the Father dieth the eldest Son dieth before entry or receipt of the rent the younger Son of the half blood shall not inherit but the Sister because the possession of the Lessee for years is the possession of the eldest Son so as he is actually seised of the Frank-tenement and the Inheritance and consequently the Sister of the whole blood is to be heire And so if lands be holden by Knights service and the eldest Son is within age and the Guardian entreth into the lands An so likewise if Guardian in Socage enters But in the case aforesaid if the Father make a lease for life or a gift in tail and dieth and the eldest Son dieth in the life of Tenant for life c. the younger brother of the half blood shall inherit because the Tenant for life or Tenant in tail is seised of the Freehold and the eldest Son had nothing but a Reversion expectant upon the Freehold and therefore the youngest Son shall inherit the land as Heire to his Father who was last seised of the actuall Freehold And albeit a rent had been reserved on the estate for life and the eldest Son had received the rent and died yet it is holden by that the younger brother shall inherit because the seisin of the rent is no actuall seisin of the Freehold of the land but Liber Ass part 2. seemeth to the contrary Ideo quaere He that claimeth Lands Tenements Maxime upon collaterall discent or Hereditaments as collaterall heire to any one must claim from such an one that had an actuall possessession and died actually seised of the Frank-tenement and the inheritance in Fee-simple of those lands which he so claimeth by discent and not from such a one who had but a possession in Law or a reversion in Fees expectant on a Frank-tenement discendible unto him But to the lineall heire it sufficeth that the Ancestor should have been heire if he had lived But if such a collaterall heire claime from a collaterall Ancestor that had a possession in Law by his own purchase or reversion in Fee-simple expectant on a Frank-tenement by his own purchase it is sufficient Actuall possession Note that an actuall possession must be gained either by a mans own act or by the actuall possession of another but if neither by his own act nor by the possession of another he doth gain no more then discendeth unto him then the brother of the half blood shall inherit Possessio quid And this word Possessio is no other but pedis positio and extendeth onely to things whereof a man by his entry or other act may gain an actuall possession for when the eldest Son hath not an actuall possession or if it be such inheritance whereof any possession may not be gained per pedis positionem or by any other act then the inheritance by the Law shall discend to the brother of the half blood As for example The King by his Letters Patents createth a Baron and giveth the Dignity to him and his Heires and he hath issue a Son and a Daughter by one venter and a Son by another venture and dieth the eldest Son dieth without issue To whom shall the dignity discend To the younger Son for it may not be said that the

2. What is the present worth of an annuity or rent of 50. pound per annum payable yearely for 21. yeares accounting compound interest after the rate of 6. per cent per annum In the second columne of the 6. Table right against 21. yeares is 11.75407 which being multiplyed by 50. the product is 588.20350 from which cutting off 5. figures for the decimall parts of the number found in the table the answer is 588 l. and reducing the parts 4. shillings 3. farthings Question 3. What annity to begin presently and to continue 21 yeares payable at yearely payments will 588. pound 4. shillings 3. farthings purchase compound interest being reckoned at 6. per cent per annum In the second column of the 7. Table right against 21. yeares is 085. which being multiplied by 588. 203125. the Decimall of 588 l. 4. shillings 3. farthings the product is 49 998065325. from which if you cut 9. figures for the number of parts in both the termes given the yearly annuity is 49. pounds and the Decimall 99806 c. gives 19 s. 11. pence 2. farthings Question 4. What is an annuity of 25. pounds per An. for seven years payable yearly and to begin 3. years hence compound interest after the rate at 6. per cent worth iâ—… present First find by the second question of this Chapter what an anuity of 25. pounds per annum for 3. yeares at the rate propounded is worth in ready money and then what an annuity of 25. pounds per annum for 3. and 7. yeares that is for 10. yeares at the same rate is worth in ready money the difference of these two is the answer to the question propounded In the second columne of the 6. table right against 3. yeares is 2.67301 which being multiplyed by 25. the product is 66.82525 and the number answering to 10. years is 7.36008 which being also multiplyed by 25. the product is 184.002005 from which deduct 66.82520 there rests 117.17675 that is according to the former directions 117. pounds 3. shillings 6. pence farthing the present worth of the 7 yeares in reversion Question 5. If the Lease of a house or lands be worth 127 l. fine and 9 l. rent per annum payable yearly for 20. years and the Lessee be desirous to bring downe the fine to 40 l. and so to pay the more rent the question is what rent the tenant shall pay accounting compound interest at the rate of 6. per centum per annum Find the difference between the fines which is 87 l. then by the seventh table find what annuity or rent to continue 20. yeares is equivalent unto 87 pound ready so will you find 758466. that is being reduced 7 l. 11 s. 8. pence 1. farthing which being added to the old rent 9 l. gives 16 l. 11 s. 8. pence 1. farthing which the tenant must pay to the end that the fine may be diminished unto 40. pound Question 6. There is a lease af certaine Lands to be let for 20. yeares for 40. l. fine and 16. shillings 8. pence 1. farthing rent per annum payable yearly but the tenant is desirous to pay lesse rent viz. 9 l. per annum and to give a greater fine the question is what fine ought to be paid to bring down the rent to 9 l. per annum accounting compound interest at the rate of 6. per centum per an Find the difference between the rents which is 7 l. 11. shillings 8. pence 1. farthing then by the 6. Table see what an annuity or rent of 7 l. 11. shilling 8. pence 1. farthing per annum to continue twenty yearers is worth in ready money so shall you finde eighty six pound nineteen shillings ten pence proxime which being added to the first fine forty pound gives 126. pound 19. shillings 4. pence which the tenant must pay to the end that the rent may be brought downe to nine pound per annum Question 7. There is a lease of certaine lands worth 32 l per annum more then the rent paid to the Lord for it of which Land there is a Lease yet in being for 7. years and the lessee is desirous to take a Lease in reversion for 21 years to begin when his old Lease is expired the question is what sum of money is to be paid for this lease in reversion accounting compound interest at the rate of 6. per cent per an Find by the 6. Table what 32. pound rent is worth in ready money for 21. yeares as if it were to begin presently which will be found 376. 4.5024 l. then by the 5. table find what 376.45024 l. due at the end of 7. yeares to come is worth in ready money so will it be 250 l. 7. s. 2. d. proxime which is the answer to the question The first Table A Table turning Shillings Pence or Farthings into Decimall parts S. d.
