B. giveth way and furtherance thereunto and will take no course to free and discharge your Orator thereof nor will the said I.H. seek for satisfaction as he ought if any be due unto him at the hand of the said B.B. nor discover where the said B.B. is but both of them by a joynt confederacy between them intend to lay upon your Orator the whole burden and penalties of both the said Bonds and then to share and divide the same between them contrary to all rites and rules of Equity and to your said Orators apparent wrong and supportable hindrance unless he may find redress for the same before your Lordships in the justice and equity of this honourable Court.

B. will upon their Oaths if they may be thereunto called confess their said promisses and the premisses to be true in such sort as aforesaid or if they shall deny the same that yet your Orator shall be able to make such proof thereof by circumstances as may in Equity move your Lordships to relieve him therein Therefore and to the end the said I.H. and B B. may upon their Oaths declare and set down what and how much money or commodities and what sorts and value the said I.H. disbursed lent or delivered upon the security of the Bonds aforesaid and when and to whom and whether he had the same or any part and what part thereof back again and what other satisfaction he the said I.H. hath received for or towards the said Bonds or the money mentioned in the Conditions thereof and for whom and to the end that the said I.

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 Execution● 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.

Of a Fine A Fine being of all kinds of Settlements of the greatest Force and Antiquity is sometimes called Compositio amicabilis but more usually finalis Concordia and is so termed as the Lord Coke holds Quia finem litibus imponit And so indeed it did antiently for after some contention had been about a thing by Suit the Parties agreeing who should have it a Fine was levied and so there was an end of the matter but is now of more common use because a man thereby may convey his Lands to another in Fee-simple Fee-tail for life or years and that with a Reservation of Rent also Co. Inst 2. Part 511 514. And any person that hath a Capacity to take by the Grant of a Deed and may be a good Grantee in a Deed such person may be a good Conusee in a Fine and may thereby have and take the thing granted And may be levied of all things whereof either a Praecipe quod Reddat a Praecipe quod faciat a Praecipe quod Permittat or a Praecipe quod Teneat lyeth And the order of proceeding in suing it out is thus First an Original is sued forth which may be either a Quid juris clamat Per quae Servitia De Rationabilibus divisis Writ of Right Patent or Close Warrantia Chartae De Consuetudinibus or any Writ of Right But the usual Writ at this day is a Writ of Covenant And although by the common course they use to take out a Dedimus Potestatem and to have the Conusance of a Fine before any Original sued forth yet the Original is alwayes supposed i● Law to precede the Dedimus and therefore doth and must bear Teste before it or it will be erronious Then there is a Praecipe drawn and the Concord and Agreement of the Parties both which are to be fairly written in Parchment After this the Conusor or Conusors of the Fine are to come in person before the Judge or Judges authorized to take the Conusance of Fines who are to take notice of the persons that there be no Infants Ideots or Madmen among them nor any Feme Covert for if there be such a Woman the Judges or Commissioners are to examine her privately and apart Whether she be free and willing to do it without any constraint of her Husband Then she with the rest of the Conusors declare publikely their consent and to subscribe their Names or Marks to the Concord And if it be by Dedimus Potestatem it must be returned and certified under the hands and seals of the Commissioners into the Common Pleas that it may there be recorded and finished Which done the Conusee must compound with the King for his License and the money paid thereupon is called the Kings Silver and of this an Entry must be made on the back of the Writ of Covenant Then it must be enrolled by the Custos Brevium and upon that Roll the Proclamations are to be indorsed And thence carried to the Chirographers who make a Note thereof commonly called The Note of the Fine And then enter it upon Record ingross it and make and deliver the Indentures thereof to the Conusee And if it be a Fine with Proclamations it must be proclaimed openly in the Common-Pleas once every fourth Term then next following And the next Term after the engrossing the contents thereof are to be recorded in a Table made for that purpose to be set up in the Court of Common-Pleas at Westminster in an open place all the Term time and so at every Assises The Fine also if the Parties please may be enrolled and exemplified Presidents of Concords And first of the Praecipe Surr. ss Praec A.

this That a Deed to lead the use of a fine may be either by an Instrument Poll or Indented and the Indented may be either single of two parts of three parts called Tripartite or four parts called Quadripartite or of more parts as the case is thus This Indenture c. between A. of the one part and B. of the second part Or Tripartite as This Indenture c. between A. of the first part B. of the second and D. of the third part Or Quadripartite between A. of the first part C. of the second part E. of the third part and G. of the fourth part and so to name all the persons except the common Vouchee that bear any part in the Deed Fine or Recovery And so in all other matters as the case is the Indentures are to be drawn up In the last place I will cite Six or Seven Cases in this Point and so go on to the next head 1. 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.

It was Resolved among other things That where one is Lessee for years and assigns over his Lease in trust for himself and afterwards purchases the Inheritance and occupies the Land and then levies a a Fine with Proclamations and the Lessee doth not claim the Lease within the five years this Fine and Non-claim shall barre the interest of the Lessee though he who levied the Fine hath the possession by reason of the Trust But this Trust is included in the fine and the Trustee not making claim his Interest is barred thereby Cro. 1.78 6. Nota. It was agreed by all the Justices and by the Prothonotaries That if the Disseisor levy a Fine and the Disseisee in the preservation of his right against the said fine enter his Claim in the Record of the foot of the fine that the same is not any such claim as shall avoid the Stat. of 4 H. 7.

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.

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

A Recovery was had against Tenant in taile and he dyed before execution And by the better Opinion the Issue is not remitted neither shall he falsifie because of the Recovery in value upon the Voucher Dyer 35. 3. In the Case of Hunt and Gateley Pasch 23 Eliz. in C.B. the case was That he in Remainder granted a Rent out of the Land after the Tenant in tail suffered a Common Recovery and dyed without Issue And it was Resolved by all the Judges of England That Leases for years Conusance of a Statute Grant of a Rent and all other Incumbrances by him in remainder are avoided by the common Recovery that the Tenant in tail shall suffer of the Land Moores Rep. Case 298. Capell's Case 23 Eliz. Co. 1. fo 62. 4. In Trin. 12 Eliz. 290. A Recovery was suffered by Husband and Wife of Tenements in London which by the Custome of London binds as a Fine at Common Law which was to the use of the Recoverors c. untill they made a Lease for 40 years and then to the use of the husband and wife and the heirs of the wife The Lease was made and then the husband dyed In this case the Court held that the wife should be concluded and should not avoid this Lease but shall hold under the Recovery so as the Lease precedes her Estate But Quaere what remady she shall have for the Rent which was reserved before her Estate by the use was created Dyer 290. 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 P●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.

A Feme Sole was seised of a Mannor to which were three Copyholds one of the Copyholders did intermarry with the woman and afterwards he and his wife did suffer a Common Recovery of the Mannor to the use of themselves for their lives and afterwards to the use of the Heirs of the wife In this case it was agreed by the whole Court That the Copyhold was extinct And said by the Court That if a Copyholder will joyn with the Lord in a Feoffment of the Mannor thereby the Copyhold is extinct and so if he accept a Lease of his Copyhold Godb 11.

That Lands in London bargained and sold by Tenant in tayle and the Deed delivered after the same year he made Livery to him the Lands pass by the bargain and Sale Yelverton 123 124. 3. That as the very words Bargaine and Sale are not needful to make some Land pass by way of Bargain and Sale where there is an inrolment So inrolment is not necessary in all cases As where a reversion is granted for years only there neither inrolment not atturnment are necessary Cook 8.93 Foxes Case 4. 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. It must be by Writing and not by Print or Stamp in Parchment not in Paper nor upon Lead Wood or the like Co. 5.20 2 part Inst 672. 7. That by the Common Law Land might have passed by word for the use only past but now it must be by Deed save only in some Cities Villages and ancient Burroughs where it passeth by Custome Dyer 229. 8. That if a Father in consideration of 10 l. paid to him by his Son doth covenant to stand seised to his use no use will arise without Inrollment Coo. 7.40 9. That the Inrollment upon such a Deed so as to make the Estate to pass must be in Parchment Co. 2. Part Inst 673. 10. The inrolled Deed must be indented for if it be by Deed-Poll the Estate will not pass Dyer 229. The Six moneths given for Inrollment are to be accounted 1. From the date and not from the time of the delivery of the Deed and from the date and from the day of the date is all one 2. After the account of 28 dayes to the moneth and no more 3. The day of the date to be taken exclusive Moors Rep. 40. Case 128. and yet if it be inrolled the same day it bears date it is good If it chance which is very seldome that it have no date then the day of the delivery shall be taken for the date and the six moneths to be cast from thence Mich. 37 38 Eliz.

This kind of assurance by Bargain and Sale thus perfected by Inrollment will as effectually transfer the Land as any other Conveyance and therefore the Bargainee of a Reversion albeit he may not have benefit of a Condition upon demands of Rent without giving notice of the bargain and sale to the Lessee and albeit that A. the Conusee by a Fine of a Reversion before Attornment of the Tenant bargain and sell the Reversion to B and that in this case B. cannot distrain for his Rent until he can get Attornment of the Tenant yet the Bargainee shall have benefit of a Condition of an Assignee within 32. H. 8. And it seems he may vouch by force of a warranty annexed to the estate of the Land for he is in partly in the Per and partly in the Post Co. 8.94 3.62 5.113 I will Illustrate this Point only with three or four Cases and then give you Presidents Case 1. Winchcombe having Issue two Sons conveyed a Mannor unto his eldest son and to the daughter of Dunce for life for the Joynture of the wife the Remainder to the son in Fee the son having no Issue his Father in Law Dunce procured him by Deed indented to Bargain and sell to him the Mannor the Bargainor being sick who dyed before Inrollment of the Deed within the six moneths the Deed not being acknowledged and afterwards the Deed coming to be inrolled the Clerk who inrolled it procured a Warrant from the Master of the Rolls who writ upon the Deed Let the Deed be inrolled upon Affidavit made of the delivery of the Deed by one of the witnesses to the same and afterwards 〈…〉 was inrolled within the six moneths And the Opinion of the Court was That the Conveyance was a good Conveyance in Law And therefore the younger Brother exhibited his Bill in Chancery pretending the Conveyance to be made by practice without any consideration Winchcombe and Dunce Hill 13 Jac. in Canc ' Godb. Case 376. 2. Popham's Case 5 Eliz. If a man bargain and sell to one and after to another the first Deed is inrolled and after the second and that the last day of the six moneths accounting the day of the date for none yet it was held by the Court That the first Bargainee should have it sic vide from the Date which are the words of the Statute are of the same sense as from the day of the date and that twenty eight dayes make a moneth Dyer 218.

The ancient Sheriff being out of his Office cannot sell the Goods he took upon a Fieri facias Yelverton 44. How Execution is to be done in the Cinque-Ports see Bendloes 15. Observe here further That if the Defendant dye his body being in Execution the Plaintiff may have a new Execution against the Lands or Goods of the Defendant as he pleaseth but the Plaintiff while he hath the body of the Defendant in Execution can have no other Execution against his Lands or Goods Co. 5.65 66.86 87. A new Execution may be sued against any man who by Priviledg of Parliament shall be set at liberty Stat. 5 Jac. cap. 13. If the Sheriff hath a man in his custody by process of Law and after this a Writ of Capias ad Satisfaciendum is delivered to him in this case in Judgment of Law he shall be in Execution presently upon that Writ though he never make any actual arrest thereupon Co. 5.89 I will now cite some few Cases to illustrate this Point 1. If two be in Execution for one debt and one of them dye under Execution this will not discharge the other But death under Execution in case where there is but one Defendant is in satisfaction Cro. 1.851 F.N.B. 146. Cro. 2.136 143. But this by the Common Law For now by the Stat. of 21 Jac. cap. 24. If a man be in Execution for a debt and dye in Execution for it the debt unpaid the Plaintiff shall now have as much remedy against his Lands and Goods as if he had never been or dyed in Execution Co. 5.86 Cro. 2.136 142. 33 H. 6.47 3 H. 6.7 N.B. 246. 2. If the Defendant pay the money by this he shall be discharged of the Execution So a Release of all Executions will barr in this case although it be in the Kings case But a Release of all Suits will not discharge from Execution in the case of the King or Subject Co. 8.153 But a Release of the Judgment and of all debts and duties will discharge the Body out of Execution Co. 1. part Inst 291. But if he make any Depheasance Release or other such like act to the Defendant being in Execution amounting to a discharge of the Execution this will not be in it self ipso facto a discharge of the Execution but this will make way for his discharge by Audita Querela or some other means And therefore in case where the Plaintiff consented that the Defendant his Prisoner in the Kings Bench should come to him out of Prison to the Horse-shooe Tavern which was out of the Rules without a Keeper or any Order of the Court thinking to have some agreement with him and he doth come to him and was taken again upon the same Execution and put into the Kings-Bench he was relieved and discharged by Audita Querela And a discharge by word in this case is good enough For if I say to the Sheriff and bid him discharge such a one he hath in Execution at my Suit or suffer him to go at large this is a good discharge both to the Sheriff and to the party Popham 206 207. Trin. 24 Car. B.R. Walker and Alder. 3. If A. and B. Joynt-Tenants for life the Remainder in Fee and Judgment is given against A. in debt and afterwards before Execution he release to his Companion this shall not avoid the Execution upon the Land But if A. had dyed before Execution the Survivor would have held the Land discharged Co. 6.79 Abergavenyes Case 4. If a Judgment be against one Obligor in the Common-Pleas and another Judgment in the Kings-Bench against the other Obligor and a Capias ad Satisfaciendum in the Kings-Bench against that Defendant and then the Body and Lands of the other is taken in the Common-Pleas and he is delivered by Audita Querela as he may be although the Land taken in Execution be evicted yet his body shall never be re-taken in Execution Hob. Rep. 2. 5. If a Sheriff Gaoler or other Officer that hath a man in Execution at my Suit for debt or damages do after suffer him wilfully or negligently to escape and do not re-take him before I commence my Action against him In this case I may in an Action of Debt or Action of the Case which I will recover against him by whose means this is done but not against his Executors or Administrators so much as I am damnified thereby Plowd 45.

Cro. 2.1 7. If the Chief Justice of the Court by which the Prisoner is committed the Sheriff and the Plaintiff in the Suit all of them agree together to let a prisoner in Execution out for a time this will be no escape especially there where the Prisoner doth return at his time Dyer 275. 8. If the King or any great Man out of the ordinary way of Law shall command or require the Sheriff or other Officer that hath the keeping of such a prisoner to set him at liberty altogether or fo● time and he doth so although he return to prison again yet this will be an escape in the Sheriff to make him liable to action Dyer 278 279. 9. If a

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.

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.
