Heir except that judgement be given against the Ancestor and for that see 40. E. 3. Executors 74. and 41. Ass pl. 15. and 15. Eliz Dyer 322. And also if a Recusant had been convicted upon the Sat. of 23. Eliz. and dyed before judgement cleerely this forfeiture shall never be charged upon the Heir for the words are that a Recusant shall forfeit 20. l. a moneth and if he doe not pay it then appoints the recovery by Bill Plaint or Information and this ought to be alwaies in the life of the party then the Stat. of 28. Eliz. maketh not a new debt or Forfeiture but gives a penalty for the non-payment of that which was a debt within 23. Eliz. and that the intent of the Stat. of 28. Eli. was but such this is proved by the Title of the Act. viz. for the more speedy and due execution c. 2. It is proved by the first words of the Act for the avoiding of all delaies c. so that it appears that this Act is but as a penalty meerly Also he said that this Stat. of 28. Eliz. dispenceth with the conviction as to the penalty but doth not take away the Conviction also he said that conviction without Iudgement maketh not a Debt Also he who is convicted by proclamation and dieth is discharged Also he said that our Case hath been compared to a Debt upon an Obligation but this is not like for the Stat. stands not indefinite but hath reference to 23. for otherwise a Recusant may be doubly charged that is upon both the Statutes for there is no means to recover the Debt but by this Statute of 23. Eliz. See Sir Edward Walgraves case Dyer 231. Wentworth and others against Stanley WEntworth and his Wife and Rich and his Wife brought an Ejectione firmae against Stanley and shewed in their Declaration how one Edward Stanley was seised in Fee and infeoffed the Earl of Darby others to the use of himself for life the remainder to the use of the Plantiffs wife for 100. years and died and the Plantiffs entred and the Defendant ejected them c. and this Feofment was made in 40. Eliz. the Defendant saith that long before one Richard Stanley was sesed in Fee and gave it to the said Edward Stanley in tail and that he so seised made a Feefment to the uses as is alledged and died and the Plantiffs entred and the Defendant as issue of the Feoffor re-entred and so by his pretence his is remitted whereupon it was demurred and upon the opening this case the Barons were clear of opinion that the issue in tail is remitted and came paramount the lease and so the lease for years is gone also by the chief Baron and Baron Snig there needs no Traverse to be alledged by the Plantiffe because it was but of a fee gained in an instant by the feofment of a Tenant in tail and a fee-simple gained in an instant needeth not to be Traversed 5. H. 7. and 2. E. 4. wherefore the Court said that judgement ought to be given against the Plantiffs but yet at the desire of the some the Court gave day to the Councel on both parts to argue the case at which day came Heneag Finch for the Plantiffs and he argued to the matter in Law and therein he said that by the feofment of Tenant in tail the use to himself for life the remainder to his daughters for years without limiting the residue of the use that in this case the residue of the use shall be in the feoffes and not in the feoffor for by him there is a difference between a feofment by him who had a fee with limitation of an use as above and a feofment made by him who derives an estate out of a fee for when Tenant for life or Tenant in tail makes a feofment and limits an use for part of the estate as above there the residue of the issue shall be to the feoffee and he vouched Castle and Dods case adjudged in the Common Pleas 8. Iac. that if Tenant for life grant over his estate without limiting of an use it shall be to the use of the grantee more strong here in a tortious act as our case is but if Tenant in tail will levy a fine with limitation of uses as above there the residue of the use shall be to the use of the Conusor Secondly admit that the residue of the use in this case shall he to the feoffor yet he shall not be remitted to the use as it seemeth the words of the Statute of 27. H. 8. are that cestuy que use shall have like estate in the land as he had in the use and therefore it is clear that the first taker of the use shall not be remitted as it is resolved in Amy Townsends case in Plowden and although the words of the Statute mention not heirs or issues yet by the intent of the Statute they are in equal degree but the Books which are against this opinion are two viz. 33. H. 8. Dyer fo 51. but there it is not expresly said that the issue is remitted but 34. H. 8 Br. remitter 49. is expresly against me but the same year in Dyer fo 54. it is there made a quere and in Bevils case it is only said that the first taker of the use cannot be remitted but of my opinion was Baldwin and Shelley in 28. H. 8. Dyer 23 24. and in Sanages case and 29. H. 8. it is resolved that if a man hath land by Act of Parliament there shall be no remitter and so here wherefore c. and he said if Tenant in tail be the remainder in fee and Tenant in tail makes a feofment to the use of himself in tail the remainder to him in remainder in fee in this case he in the remainder in fee shall not be remitted for then the first taker should be remitted to the pleading it seemeth that the bar is not good and first the general demurrer here doth not confess the matter of fact no more then in Gawins case in 29. H. 8. fo 40. by Brown a demurrer upon account in an appeal is no confession of the fact and in 44. Eliz. in Crisp and Byrons case accordingly see Sir Henry Browns case before a good case to this purpose then as to the Bar it seems it is not sufficient for want of a Traverse of a seisin in fee alledged in the feoffor who was Edward Stanley for it is a rule that two affirmatives cannot be allowed in a Declaration and the Bar without Traverse of that which is mentioned in the Declaration is not good except there be cause of some impossibilitie or inconvenience but yet this is to be understood where the affirmatives are express and not by implication as in Moiles case if the Defendant in his Bar confess a fee determinable he needs not Traverse the fee alledged by the Plantiffe but in our case here is an allegation made by the
words of a fee to be in the feoffor and the Bar confesseth only as of a fee gained in an instant but I agree that if the Bar had been that the Feoffor was Tenant for years and made a Feofment this had been good without Traverse but when Tenant in tail makes a Feofment it shall not be intended that he gained a Fee because it may be he hath purchased the remainder and thereby had lawfully acquitted it as an addition to his estate and here the saying in the Deelaration that Edward Stanley was seised in Fee as a thing material and of necessitie and not superfluous as the pleading in a Declaration for debt upon an Obligation to say that the Obligor was of full age or as a Repetition of the writ which needs not be Traversed and that it appears in 15. Ed. 4. in some case a Surplus●ge ought to be Traversed and 7. Ed. 6. Title Formedon the Declaration as in our case ought to be special and 21. H. 7. if a man will maintain debt upon a lease he ought to shew how he was in titled to make the lease also although that in our case the lease for years is the effect of the suit yet I say that the seisin in Fee is the effect of the plea 27. H. 8.50 H. 7.14 in a replevin the Defendant avows as seised in Fee the Plantiffe sayes that he was seised for life and doth Traverse c. and 14. and 15. Eliz. was our very case Dyer 312. and there it is said that the sure way is to take a Traverse as it is also said in 11. Eliz. Dyer also where the Bar saith that one R. was seised in Fee and gave it to the Father of the Feoffor and the heirs of his body he ought to say that the land descended to the Feoffor as son and heir of the body c. also where the Plantiffe declareth of a lease for years made by force of a feofment made the 30. day of August 6. Iac. the Bar saith generally that the 30. day of August 6. Iac. the said Feoffor made a Feofment of the same land to the same persons c. but he doth not say that it is one and the same with the Feofment mentioned in the Declaration so he answereth not our title and for that cause not good and therefore he prayed Iudgement for the Plantiffe Jones of Lincolns Inne to the contrary it seemeth as to the first matter moved that in this case the resioue of the use shall result back to the Feoffor 34. Eliz. Balfores case if Tenant in tail make a Feofment to the use of himself for life without more by Popham the residue of the use shall be to the Feoffee for otherwise the estate for life would be drowned but otherwise it is when a remainder of an use is limited to another in Fee for this saves the drowning or confounding of the estate for life as to the point of remitter it seemeth that it is no other but that Tenant in tail makes a Feofment to the use of himself and his heirs and dies if the issue shall be remitted or not and as to that he said that the Statute of 27. H. 8. cap. 10. hath by express words a saving of all antient rights and therefore the antient right of the estate tail is saved and therefore the issue shall be thereunto remitted and so should the Tenant in tail himself if he had not been within the words of the Statute as it is resolved in Amy Townsends case in Plowden and the authorities of my part are 33. H. 8.54 in Dyer expresly with me and without any quere as to the point of remitter but there it is said that he ought to avoid the lease by entrie as in our ease it is pleaded and as to the pleading it seems there needs no Traverse First because it is matter in Law Secondly we have confessed a Fee in an instant as to the first reason the Declaration is generally of a seisin in Fee and not expresly of a Fee simple and therefore it is matter in Law 5. H. 7. and 11. H. 7.21 the Fee not Traversed 46 Ed. 3.24 in Dower the Defendant pleads a special tail made by one who was seised in Fee the other saith that the Dower had but an estate tail at the time of the gift without Traversing that he was seised in Fee 2. Ed. 4.11 that a seisin in Fee tail is sufficient to maintain an allegation of a seisin in Fee to the second reason it is not alledged expresly that he was seised in Fee but quod cum talis seisitus fuit c. and 34. H. 6.48 he needed not in his Declaration to say that he was seised in Fee Pasch 34. et 35. Eliz. Taylors case if the Plantiffe in a quare impedit alledgeth seisin in Fee and the Defendant confess the seisin by Vsurpation this is a sufficient confession of the seisin in Fee Fitzherbert Title Travers 154. a good case to this purpose and in Moils case cited before on the other side the Plantiffe doth not mention in his Declaration a seisin in Fee absolute and the Defendant saith that A. was seised and gave to the Plantiffe as long as A. had issue of his body he needs not Traverse the absolute Fee Pasch 33. Eliz. in the Common Pleas where there was a stronger case to the replication the Defendant said that the Countess of Devon was seised and leased for life the remainder to her self for life the other saith that the Countess was seised in tail and Traverseth that she was not seised in Fee it is there said that the Countesses estate in Fee need not to be Traversed and yet it was there agreed that in regard it was but matter of form it was aided by the Statute of Jeoffales for that was moved in arrest of judgement Tanfield chief Baron in the principal case the issue of the Feoffor is remitted without entrie notwithstanding the lease because it is not in possession but a lease in remainder and therefore the title of the Lessees is distrained before entrie by the Defendant and therefore the Defendant hath not answered the entrie upon the Lessees for you by your plea destroy the title to this Term which you have allowed them before they were ever in possession thereof and the Declaration is that they were possessed of a Term for years and that you ejected them and to this you give no answer upon the matter for clearly if Tenant in tail make a lease to commence at a day to come and dieth before the day this is meerly void by his death ad quod non fuit responsum see Plowden in Smith and Stapletons case for there it is made a quere and notwithstanding that Tanfield chief Baron with the ass●nt of the whole Court pronounced that judgement should be entred against the Plantiffe immediately and so it was done Bents case IN a suit depending in this Court between
of 99. years is agreed to be given Secondly if there be such an imployment of this land as the Statute requireth admitting the lease was not given Thirdly if the livery upon the Queens Lessee for years be good and I hold that the Fee is not given to the Queen Secondly the land is not imployed c. admitting that it was given Thirdly that the Feofment here is not good and as to the case at Bar the Feoffees may enter I doubt not of that because there is not any thing found but that it was imployed to the uses intended for 99. years Secondly if it were not imployed according to the condition after 1. Ed. 6. yet they cannot enter for themselves were parties to the Art which did prohibit it as 34. H. 8. Dyer 52. the Queen gives licence that Belmelt shall be transported notwithstanding any Statute made or to be made if after it be prohibited the licence is determined because the Patentee himself was a partie to such Statutes Secondly it is said in Addams and Lamberts case that a superstitious devise or other estate upon condition is within the Statute because the Patentee was partie thereunto Thirdly it is said in the said case that a superstitious devise or other estate upon condition is within the Statute because it is penal and compulsorie for the maintenance of a thing prohibited by the Law and also there it is said that there is a proviso towards the end of that Act that it shall not be Lawful by reason of any remainder or condition for any man to claim any lands c. for the not doing or finding of any such Priest as to the other point which was moved at Bar I hold that the use doth not arise upon the words subsequent and if they do not re-enter that then the land shall go to the use of the four Feoffees to the intent aforesaid is not a mis-ordering nor an imployment Secondly these words to the intent do not raise any use but only a confidence and trust reposed in the Feoffees Doctor and Student 94. for the first point therefore he held that there is no superstitious gift of the Fee-simple and if there were it is not imployed c. and therefore it is not given by the Statute of 1. Ed. 6. to the Queen and touching that we are to consider the Statute Indenture and the Schedule and there is not a word that after 99. years the land shall finde a Priest but the money and the land is not given but the money as in the Dean of Pauls case 22. Eliz. Dyer 368. if land be given to finde a Priest with part of the profits thereof those profits are only given to the King by this Statute and not the land but that belongs to the Dean and Chapter also the Schedule is if then it may be lawful and therefore if it were not then lawful the money is not given and it is like to the case where I make a lease for 21. years if I do allow of it before Michaelmas and before Michaelmas do not allow of it this is a void lease and so if I give land to the use of Westminster School if the Dean will enter into a Recognizance c. and if he will not enter into a Recognizance it is no gift like to the case 15 H. 7. a grant of Annuitie if such a thing be done c. secondly as to the imployment the lease is only found to be imployed and the imployment of the lease is no imployment of the Fee which was not given until the Term was expired and if the gift be not superstitious the imployment ought not to be superstitious and yet as it is said in Adams case there ought to be an imployment to intitle the Queen as the case there is if one gives the Mannor of D. and S. to superstitious uses the Queen shall have the lands out of the hands of the Feoffee and if land be given to finde a Priest in the Church of D. for 20 years and after to finde one in S. for 21. years and before the expiration of the first Term the Statute is made it seems the Queen shall have only the first Term because there is no imployment of the second Term within the Statute 5. Ed. 4.20.15 Ed. 3. Execu 63. I agree those cases for land or rent issue from a seisin 30. Ed. 3.12 in a quare impedit 5. Ed. 6. Benlowes a devise to 8. to the uses and intent that the Feoffees with the profits shall finde a Priest whilst the Law of this Realm will suffer it and if the Law will not suffer it then to the use of three of the poorest of the Parishes adjoyning by all the Iudges this is not within the Statute and as to the last point it seems that the Feofment is good and the interest of the Queen is no impediment which if it be not then there is no question as Dyer 20. Eliz. 363. Tenant in tail makes a feofment the servants of the Lessee for years being upon the land and livery is made and after the Lessee for years agrees saving his Term this is a discontinuance 14. Ed. 4.2 3. and 4. Ph. et M. Dyer 139. possession shall not be gained from the Queen but by matter of Record 4. Assises 5.21 Assises 2.8 H. 4.16.1 H. 7. no livery upon the Kings possession it may be devised by the heir or conveyed by bargain and sale or by fine from him and the Kings estate in reversion doth not priviledge the estate in possession as it is 23. Ed. 3.7 a disseisor conveys land to the Queen who grants for life and the disseisee shall have a writ of entrie against the Queens Lessee for life by the opinion of Thorp Cook lib. 4.55 a disseisor makes a lease for life the remainder to the King a recovery of the land against Tenant for life will defeat the Kings remainder 7. Rich. 2. aide of the King 61. Tenant in tail grants the land to the King with warranty and the King makes a lease for life if the issue recover in a Formedon the Kings estate is defeated and I was of Councel in the Court of wards in a case which was Pasch 43. Eliz. betwixt Chackston and Starkey for the Wardship of the heir of Clifford and it was this the Ward at full age tendred his livery and had six moneths to sue it and within the six moneths made a Feofment and after died before livery sued in this case the livery and seisin was void and it is all one as if no tender had been made for the Queens possession was priviledged the second point was that one being in Ward to the King had a reversion in Fee expectant upon an estate for life and before livery sued made a Feofment in Fee this makes a discontinuance of the reversion notwithstanding the Kings interest which he had in reversion for the Wardship which case is like to the case
declares the use to be to himself for life and after to T. B. with power of revocation and to limit new uses and if he revoke and not declare then the use shall be to the use of himself for life and after to Henry Becket with power in that indenture also to revoke and limit new uses and that then the fine shall be to such new uses and no other and after 42. Eliz. by a third Indenture he revoked the second Indenture and declared the use of the fine to be to the use of himself for life and after to Hen. Becket in taile the remainder to I. B. c. R. B. dies and T. B. his brother and heire is found a Recusant and the lands seised and thereupon comes H. B. and shews the matter as above and upon that the Kings Atturney demurreth Bromley and Altham Barons that the Declaration of the uses made by the third Indenture was good and he having power by the first to declare new uses may declare them with power of Revocation for it is not meerly a power but conjoyned with an interest and therefore may be executed with a power of Revocation and then when he by the third Indenture revokes the former uses now it is as if new uses had been declared and then he may declare uses at any time after the Fine as it appears by 4. Mar. Dyer 136. and Coke lib. 9. Downhams case and in this case they did rely upon Diggs case Cooke lib. 1. where it is said that upon such a Power he can revoke but once for that part unlesse he had a new power of Revocation of Vses newly to be limited whereby it is implyed that if he had a new power to appoint new uses he may revoke them also Snig Baron to the contrary and said that he had not power to declare 3. severall uses by the first contract which ought to Authorise all the Declarations upon that Fine and then the Revocation by the third Indenture is good and the limitation void and then it shall be to the use of R. B. and his heirs and so by the death of R. B. it doth descend to T. B. the Recusant and also he said that such an Indenture to declare uses upon uses was never made and it would be mischievous to declare infinite uses upon uses Tanfield held that the uses in the second Indenture stand unrevoked and the new uses in the third Indenture are void and then H. B. ought to have the Land again out of the Kings hands The power in the second Indenture is that he may revoke and limit new uses and that the Fine shall be to those new uses and no others and then if there be a Revocation and no punctuall limitation he had not pursued his Authority for he ought to revoke and limit and he cannot doe the one without the other Also he said that after such Revocation and limitation the fine shall be to such new uses and no other then if there be no new uses well limited in the third Indenture the former uses shall stand void Nota it seemeth that if a man make a Feoffement and declare uses and reserve a power to revoke them without saying moe he cannot revoke them and limit new for the use of the Fine being once declared by the Indenture no other use can be averred or declared which is not warranted thereby for he cannot declare the fine to be to new uses when it was once declared before Cook lib. 2.76 That no other use can be averred then that in the conveyauce Cooke lib. 9 10 11. Although that the first uses are determined as if a man declare the use of a Fine to be to one and his Heires upon condition that he shall pay 40. l. c. or untill he do such an Act if the first use be determined the Fine cannot be otherwise declared to be to new uses And therefore it seemes that all the uses which shall rise out of the Fine ought to spring from the first Indenture which testifieth the certain intention of the parties in the leaving thereof and then in the Case above the second Indenture and the limitation of new uses thereby are well warranted by the first Indenture and in respect that this is not a naked power only I conceive that they may be upon condition or upon a power of Revocation to determine them But the power to limit the third uses by a third indenture after revocation of the second uses in the second indenture hath not any Warrant from the first Indenture and without such Warrant there can be no Declaration of such new uses which were not declared or authorised by the first Indenture which Note for it seems to be good Law FINIS AN EXACT TABLE of the Principall Matters contained in this BOOKE A.

the which the Lord chief Baron Tanfield said insist not upon a labour of that kinde for it is plain enough because the Queen being partie there can be no Estoppel as to any part in that case also as to that part of his argument Mr. Walter agreed on the other side and also he said that if a grant of the Queeen were void at the Common Law for default of want of consideration this Statute aids not Walter for the Defendant and he divided the case into foure points the first whether the Tenant for life by the Kings guift by surrendring his letters Patents hath also surrendred his estate Secondly if the surrender in this case made be defective only for want of matter of circumstance as the inrolment c. whether such defects are saved by the Statute 43. Eliz. Thirdly whether in this case an actual surrender be the consideration meerly which moveth the Queen to grant or what shall be intended the consideration in this case Fourthly admitting that an actual surrender is the sole consideration in this case then whether a Patent shall be adjudg'd void for default of such consideration for a false consideration doth not avoid a Patent but a false surmise doth first when the Kings Tenant for life doth surrender or give up his Patent although without deed yet with such circumstances as the law requireth the surrender is good for although a surrender of letters Patents made by the Kings Tenant in tail will not make estate tail void or determine as it appears by the book case of 35. H. 8. title surrender and Cook 6. the Lord Chandos case yet the bare giving up of the letters Patents by a Tenant for life is a surrender of his estate so here in this case is some proportion between a Tenant for life of the Queen and a Tenant for life of a Common person to amount to a surrender and therefore it appeareth by 43. E. 3. that a Tenant for life may surrender without deed and without livery and from the land but a Tenant in tail may not do so also if a Common person hath a rent or other thing which cannot pass but by deed yet a surrender of such a rent shall be good by a bare deliverie up of the deed if he hath but an estate for life in the Rent and this also although it be but to the disseissor of the land out of which c. the same Law he took it of a particular Tenant for life of years also 32. H. 8. Brook Patents 97. it is made a doubt whether the estate tail of the Kings Donee be determined and gone by surrendring of the letters Patent and he referred that if thought worthy of a doubt whether it should be a good surrender of an estate tail they would hade held it clearly a surrender for an estate for life and it was admitted 3. Eli 2. Dyer fo 193. Mack-Williams case that if in the principal case if a Vacat or cancellation had been the surrender had been good actually without question and Sir Maurice Barkleys case cited on the other part proves the same also for there it is admitted that if the letters Patents had been given up there had been a perfect surrender And 40. H. 3. fol. 5. Belknap held that a surrender may be by word which is to be intended by giving up the Patent and that appears by Rolfs case in Dyer that a voluntary surrender needs no Conftat also where it hath been objected that the special verdict in this case hath not found in what Court the surrender was made he answered that the Law shall intend it to be made in the same Court from whence the letters Patents did issue for a surrender cannot be good being made in another Court and therefore it must needs be intended the same Court and he vouched 11. Ed. 3. fo 1. and 18. Eliz. Plinies Case and Covel and Cabels Case in Banco Regis 38. Eliz. wherein a special verdict it was holden that all things necessary for the perfecting of that the Iury hath found to be done must be necessarily intended concurrent Secondly the want of circumstances in a surrender are perfected and supplied by the Statute of 43. Eliz. for although matters of substance are not aided within this Statute yet matters of circumstances are aided And he said that all the defects in this Case are matters of circumstance and to prove that the defects in this Case are only in circumstance he said that there are three principal defects in conveyances which are meerly matters of circumstance and aided within this Statute the first is meerly want of form in a conveyance and that such a defect is aided he cited Hussies Case to be adjudged accordingly the second is where words are wanting in a conveyance and that such a conveyance is aided by this Statute he cited the opinion of Popham and Gawdy in 44. Eliz. in a cause depending in the Chancery the third matter of circumstance is where there is want of some matter concerning the executing of an estate and that such defect is only matter of circumstance and aided within this Statute he cited Morley and Whartons Case to be adjudged 7. Eliz. in the Common Pleas that the default of not inrolling is aided by this Statute and Mack-Williams and Kemps Case cited in Dyer before proves this to be but matter of circumstance and for that he thought the surrender in the principal Case wanting nothing but inrolment is aided by this Statute also in the argument of the second point he shews what defects in conveyances should be accompted matter of substance and so not aided by this Statute of 43. Eliz. and to this purpose he held that all disabilities of the person in a grant is matter of substance and so not aided within this Statute and he cited Twynes Case 32. Eliz. in the Exchequer to be accordingly Secondly he held that the nature of an assurance is not aided by this Statute and therefore if a man hath power to grant an estate by fine and he doth it by Deed this is not aided by the Statute for this is defective in matter of substance and he cited Wisemans Case and Sir Hugh Cholmleys Case in Cook l. 2. also he said if a man give land to the King and his heirs to have ten years after such grant this is not made good by the Statute Thirdly whereas it may be Collected that because it is found in the special verdict that an actual surrender was the cause which moved the Queen to grant or that it appears to be the cause he held that no consideration plainly appeareth but only by relation to a consideration before mentioned and he said that these words used by the Queen viz. modo habens et gaudens shew that the Queen took notice the state was still injoyed notwithstanding the delivery up of the letters Patents and therefore it cannot be intended by the verdict that the Queen intended
man prescribe to be discharged of payment of Tithes by reason of payment of another kinde of Tithe that this is not good Marie Reps against Babham MArie Reps by her Gardian was Plantiff against Babham in an action of Trespas the Case was that a feofment was made to the use of husband and wife for their lives and after to the heirs of the body of the wife begotten by the husband and if this was an estate tail general in the wife or an estate in special tail to the husband it was demurred Richardson argued that it was a general estate taile in the wife and that the husband had but for life and he vouched 11.

H. 6.75 Pasch 4. Jac. in the Exchequer Richards against Williams IN an action of Trover and conversion betwixt Richards and Williams for two loads of Barley the Defendant saith that the Dean Arch-Deacon president and Chapter of Landaffe was seised of a Personage in fee and by the said name had leased unto the Defendant to which the Plantiff replied that the Arch-Deacon and Chapter of Landaffe were seised in fee and leased unto him without that that there was any Corporation as Dean Arch-Deacon president and Chapter whereupon the Defendant demurred George Crook argued that the Replication is good and he made two points First that here is a good inducment to a Traverse Secondly that there ought to be a Traverse in the Case to the first he said that if the Defendant intitle himself by one name and the Plantiff by another name here is a good inducement for a Traverse and he cited Croft and Howels Case in Plowden where the Cooks were incorporated by E. 4. by the name of Master and Governous and they made a lease of lands by the name of Master and Wardens and this was holden a void lease and he vouched to this purpose also 21. E. 4. fol. 56. where a Corporation was of Dean and Viccars and a lease was made by them by the name of Dean and Priests and 30. Eliz in the Kings Bench and Windgate Hals Case and Eaten Colledge Case in 3. 4. Ma. Dyer 150.2 that in this Case the Plantiff ought to take a Traverse and he cited 44. Assise pl. 9. 44. E. 3. fo 26. where one pleaded that the Prior of the Hospital of St. c. and the othersaid that the Prior of the house c. and an averment was made that it was known by the one name and by the other or otherwise the plea had not been good without a Traverse also he cited the Case of Raunce and the Dean and Chapter of Chichesters Case in the Kings Bench where Raunce took such an averment or otherwise he ought to have taken a Traverse and he cited the Lord Barleys Case in Plowden and 5. H. 7. and he said that the Plantiff by his Replication alledged other matter in fact then the Defendant did and therefore there ought to be a Traverse 12. E 4. also if a man brings an action by the name of Gardian and the other saith he is Prior this is not good without a Traverse that he is not Gardian 4. E. 4. fo 6.32 H. 6. fo 4.38 E. 3. fo 34. an accompt supposing the Defendant one of the company of M. and it is there said that the Defendant not being sued in the action as one of the company but this is only used for an addition therefore there ought to be no Traverse and after this argument Tanfield chief Baron said that the argument now made touched not the point in this Replication for the point is not if there needeth a Traverse in the cause but what thing is Traversable therein videlicet what is the principal matter alledged for the Defendant and therefore he put this Case Prior and Covent of D. claim an Annuity by prescription the Defendant saith that within time of memory they were incorporated by the name of c. in regard that it is within time of memory Quere what thing is Traversable here that is to say what thing is the principal matter and after at another day Walker to the contrary and first he said that it is not alledged in fact by the Defendant but by implication That there was any such corporation as Dean c. and that which is alledged but by implication ought never to be Traversed and he vouched Dyer 365. 27. H. 8.27 The alledging that the Dean c. is but matter of induement to the Plea in Bar and therefore is not Traversable for the lease supposed to be made by them is the matter of substance and he vouched a Case between Richarson and Sir George Heart 31. Eliz. to be where in an action against the Sheriff for suffering an other to escape who was in Execution at the Plantiffs suit and the Sheriff said that he never arrested him and he vouched also 10. H. 6. fo 13. thirdly he said that the Plantiff doth not Traverse in the same manner as is alledged by the Defendant and therefore the Traverse is not good and he vouched 27. H. 8. fo 26. where in Trespass the Defendant saith that I. S. is seised in fee c. the Plantiff saith that his father was seised in fee without that that he had any thing this is no good Traverse and Thompson thought it no good Traverse it is alledged in fact for the Defendant that such a Corporation made a lease therefore there was such a Corporation and he said that a man may Traverse by a Negative prayer or by a Negative pregnant 9. H. 7. 27. H. 6. where a Trespas was brought by I. and G. his wife the Defendant said there is no such G. his wife and this is good and so in 40.

Slade and Morleys case a case was put which proves it to be according Snig Baron agreed that Iudgement ought to be given for the Plantiff and by Tanfield if I take your goods and detain them until I have caused you to pay me 10. l. a general Action of Trespass lieth and not an Action upon the case and it is cited 7. H. 4. or 7. E. 4. to be accordingly but yet he agreed that judgement should be entred and so it was appointed to be done but then Chibborn for the Defendant said that here is a mistrial for if this trust be not material because it is not effectually shewed in the Declaration as you have argued then the Venue shall come only from the parish where the Wares were laid upon the land and not from the parish also where the appointment or trust was made by the Plantiff and therefore the trial also being from both parishes is a mistrial and the Court agreed that this is a mistrial upon that reason for now the appointment or Trust is but an inducement and therefore needs not to be shewed within what parish it was made and therefore a new Venire facias was granted and upon that a new trial and damages more then before and judgement was given accordingly Arden against Darcie NOta a good case of Attornament which was decreed in the time of Baron Manwood betwixt Arden and Darcie and it was this one Arden was seised in fee of divers lands in the County of c. and made a lease for years and after made a feofment with words of Grant of those lands to A. and B. to the use of the feoffor and his wife for their lives the remainder to Arden his son in tail and after the feoffor said to the Lessee that he had conveyed his land which the Lessee held in lease to the uses aforesaid and the Lessee said I like it well and after he paid his rent to the feoffor generally and it was decreed in the Exchequer Chamber that this is no Attornament because the Attornament ought to be to the feoffees and it appeareth not that the Lessee had notice of the names of the feoffees and therefore it cannot be said to amount to an Attornament but notwithstanding that Decree Arden the same to whom the remainder was limited had his Action depending in the Kings Bench to trie the point again as he said to me also this Term a point concerning the said Decree was in question upon another Bill exhibited in the Exchequer Chamber by Sir Edward Darcie against Arden and the case was as followeth Sir Edward Darcie exhibited his Bill here in the nature of a scire facias against Arden to shew cause wherefore the said Edward Darcie should not have execution of a Decree made in the time of Baron Manwood and the Defendant shewed that Darcie in his first suit supposed by his Bill that he had a grant of the land then and now in question from Queen Elizabeth rendring rent as it appears by the letters Patents and in facto there was no rent reserved upon the Patent and that the Defendant gave answer to the said Bill and admitted the Iurisdiction of the Court and after a Decree was made against the Defendant and the Defendant now having shewed this special matter demurred upon this Bill in respect that by his pretence the Court had not jurisdiction to hold plea in the first suit and here it was shewed that the first decree was made upon a matter in Law not properly examinable by English Bill and that in facto the Law was therein mistaken and therefore the Defendant prayed that the decree may be re-examined Tanfield chief Baron it is usual in the office of Pleas that if an action be brought as a debtor of our Lord the King this is good although that de facto no suggestion be made thereof if it be not shewed on the other side and therefore a writ of Error for this falsity shall not cause the judgement to be reversed as it was resolved in a case in which I was of Councel and so here as it seemeth Altham Baron here we are in equity wherein we are not tied to so strickt a course as if it were in the office of pleas Brock of the Inner Temple for the Defendant in a Court of equity it is in the discretion of the Court to deny Execution of a decree if good cause be shewed and in 18. E. 4. fo 1. judgement was given against a married wife by the name of a feme sole and reversed although she did not shew in the first suit that she was married and in 8. E. 4. judgement was given in the Kings Bench in a suit and by writ of error was reversed although the Defendant had admitted the Iurisdiction of the Court and the chief Baron and all the Court inclined that Arden may exhibit a Bill to reverse this Decree made against him and may shew what point in Law the Iudges mistook in the Decree or otherwise we should not do as Law and Iustice requireth for it is not expedient to be examined by way of Bar to this Bill in the nature of a scire facias and after Arden according to the Decree of the Court and their direction did exhibit his Bill in the nature of a writ of error Comprising how the first decree was erroneously made and prayed that the said decree might be reversed and in his Bill he shewed the point in Law which was decreed and that upon divers long conveyances appears to be thus and so it was agreed by Councel on both parties that Arden the father was seised of the Mannor of Cudworth in the County of c. and was also seised of the Mannor of Parkhal in the same County and of Blackclose c. which was parcel of the Mannor of Cudworth but lying neer unto Parkhal and alwayes used and occupied with it and reputed parcel thereof but in truth it was parcel of Cudworth and that Arden the father made a Conveyance of the Mannor of Parkhal and of all the lands thereunto belonging and reputed as parcel thereof or occupied with it as part or parcel thereof and of all other his lands in England except the Mannor of Cudworth to the use of Arden his son that now is Plantiffe here and if Blackclose will pass to the son by this conveyance or if by intendment it shall be excepted by the exception made it was the question here and was decreed in the time of Baron Manwood that it is excepted by the exception but all the Barons now thought it to be a strong case that Blackclose is not excepted by the exception of the Mannor of Cudworth and so the first decree was upon a mistake out of the Law and Tanfield chief Baron said that the point is no other but that I infeoffe you of Blackacre parcel of the Mannor of D. exceyt my Mannor of D. this doth not except the King

Eliz. the Kings head in Breadstreet now Fishstreet was given to finde a Priest and a rent-charge granted in performance of the Will and this was adjudged an imployment of the house and so where the assignment is good a small thing will make an imployment And it seems that the Liverie is good and as to that that no Livery can be made without ousting of the Lessor and by his consent and therefore 9. Eliz. It is ruled that a Feoffement with a Letter of Atturney to the Lessee to make livery is good and no surrender and Eides and Knotsfords case 41. Eliz. Lessee for years remainder for life remainder in fee he in remainder in fee makes a Feoffement to the Lessee for years and makes Livery and it was adjudged a good Feoffement because it was not a surrender in respect of the meane estate for life and no ouster nor consent will serve for then it would be a disseisin which cannot be upon the possession of the Lessee for years for his possession is also of him in the remainder for life and I put these Cases that there ought to be a consent or ouster but I agree that the Queens possession cannot be defeated by entry or ouster as it is 4. Mar. Dyer 139.8 Ass 21.18 H. 8.16 But the Kings Ward may make an estate 1. H. 7. But if the King be not in possession but a remainder only in him and the Lessor makes a Feoffement rendring 12. d. rent this estate in the King doth not priviledge any other in possession and so judgement was given for the Plaintiff against the opinion of Altham Mrs Chamberlains case IN 22. Eliz. York recovered by Indicement in the Kings Bench against Allen upon an Assumpsit York being thus interessed of the debt after that is in May 26. Eliz. was outlawed upon a mean Proces at the suit of I. S. and in the same year and moneth was outlawed after judgement at the suit of the same I. S. and after a generall pardon came 27. Eliz. in which pardon after the pardon of all contempts for outlawrie there are words also purporting a Grant bounty and liberality whereby the Queen granted all montes forfeited or come unto her hands by reason of any such outlawry with other words in the same pardon and Provisoes therein contained necessary to be observed And after in 28. El. York was outlawed again after judgement at the suit of I. S. and then Yorke died but he lived a full year after the pardon 27. Eliz. and did not sue any Scire facias against the party at whose suit he was outlawed after Iudgement and after the death of Yorke another pardon came 29. Eliz. to the same effect with the pardon in 27. And after the Queen grants this debt to Anger for the benefit of Mrs Chamberlain who was the Wife of Yorke and Anger sued in the Queens name to have an extent out of this Court against Allen who was the party against whom Iudgement was given and all this was drawn into a Case and delivered to the Barons of the Exchequer to consider upon viz. If execution may be sued in the Queens name against Allen and this case was argued at the Barre at which I was present And now it was argued at the Bench by Bromley Puisne Baron and concluded that Anger may well sue execution in the Queens name but he had almost made an end of his Argument before I came into the Court and three points seemed to be considered of in the Case The 1. was unanimously resolved and agreed by all the Barons that either of the pardons will advantage Allen who was debtor to the party outlawed for although that the words of the pardon unport a pardon of all debts and sums of money accrued to the Queen by reason of the outlawry yet comparing all the parts of the pardons together it will plainly appear that the intent of the pardon was only for the advantage of him who had committed the forfeiture by the contempt and extends only to him by way of restitution And another construction would be repugnant to all the Causes contained in the Act By Tanfield as a Will ought to receive construction by due consideration of the intention of the Testator collected out of all the parts thereof so the meaning of an Act of Parliament ought to be expounded by an examination of the intention of the makers thereof collected out of all the causes thes therein so that there be no repugnancy but a concordancy in all the parts thereof and therefore if a man by will devise Bacre to A. and his heirs and by another cause in the same Will he devises B acre to B. and his assignes it shall not be void in any part insomuch that if both had been placed together A. and B. should be Ioyntenants and therefore the Law will make such a construction and so if a man devise B. acre to A. and after he devises a Rent out of it to another both shall stand Brett and Rigdens case Plowden Also this Debt was due by Allen 2. It was resolved by Tanfield and Bromley that Yorke should take no advantage by the Pardon in 27. Eliz. to have his goods restored which were forfeited by the outlawry after judgement for by them all the Statute for the pardon of the outlawry after judgement was penued in such a form as it is but conditionall for it is in effect provided that the pardon shall not extend to the party outlawed after judgement untill he shall pay or agree with the party at whose suit he was outlawed and this payment ought to be in the Court or in such manner that the Court may be satisfied by the suing of a Scire facias and an acknowledgement of the party at whose suit c. for a bare payment in the Country is not sufficient But when the party outlawed hath once lawfully satisfied the party at whose suit he was outlawed then the pardon will relate ab initio to avoid all intervenient matters if the satisfaction be made in convenient time and therefore if the King had granted the goods forfeited by outlawry after judgment meane between the pardon and the suing of the Scire facias yet if the party outlawed sue this Scire facias within convenient time the pardon shall have such relation as it shall defeat the grant of the goods and therefore Tanfield compared the words in the pardon of the outlawry after judgement to the words in the Statute of 27. H. 8. of intolments for there it is provided that nothing shall passe by bargaine and Sale except the Deed be inrolled within six moneths after but if it be not inrolled otherwise it is Beckets case R. B. seised of Lands in fee 36. Eliz. levies a fine c. and
did grant the lands unto the said Donee in fee in that case it was adjudged that the reversion did pass unto the Donee although the words of the reversion were not contained in the Patent although that the King in that case did think that he granted a possession but the reason of that was that although the Patent was not inrolled yet by law it should have been surrendred unto the King nevertheless because that was the collection of the King and not the suggestion of the partie that the King was seised by vertue c. therefore the collection being false shall not make the Patent void for all there that came of the suggestion of the partie is true but our case is otherwise for here the intention of the King was that he had the land in possession when he had made the grant and in truth he had but a reversion also if the Patent should be good great prejudice would or might ensue to the Queen thereby for put the case that the Queen had annexed a condition to this lease or that she had reserved a greater rent upon it this condition or increasing of the rent was the cause that the Queen had made this grant and that if the second grant should be good and the first not determined that the Grantee may claim his first estate and so defeat the Queen of her rent and of his condition to have benefit of either and this was the reason why the Patent was adjudged void in the case of Barwick Coo. lib. 5. fo 94. because some parcels were not surrendred to the Queen and therefore they were not subject to conditions or rent reserved upon the second Patent and for a second reason he argued that the acceptance of the second Patent is not a surrender in Law of the first Patent because the first Patent is meerly void as it appears in Fulmerston and Stewards case Plowden 107. that the reason why the taking of a second lease shall be a surrender of the former is because both the estates cannot be in one and the same Parson at one and the same time but this reason holds not in our case because no estate passeth by the second Patent in regard it is void and therefore this case may be resembled unto the last case in 23. Eliz. Dyer where a man taking a second benefice incompatible without dispensation doth not make the first benefice void by the Statute against Pluralities because he never was a lawful Parson of the second benefice in respect the never subscribed to the Articles according to 13. Eliz. cap. 12. and in Harries and Wings case the second Patent was void but a third reason was he thought that these words Quam quidem sursum redditionem acceptamus have not aided this Grant for the second Patent is made in consideration of a surrender made by the Patentee and therefore there ought to be a good surrender made by him or otherwise the consideration is false for the King in consideration of a surrender made doth grant lands where in facto there was no surrender as if the King grant black acre in consideration of a surrender of white acre which in facto was not done this grant is void also this appears by these words modo habens et gaudens sursum reddidit et restituit c. that the intention of the Queen was that the Lord Seymor had surrendred before and that he had no estate at this time of the making of the grant for these words modo habens et gaudens ought to be interpreted according to the rules of Grammar and for that in 9. H. 7.16 b. the Court consulted with Grammarians touching the exposition of Latine words and was by them directed and he said that this word modo had divers significations for this signifieth nuper interdum aliquando but most properly it signifieth nuper or interdum modo Paratus e●at Codrus erit subito qui modo Craesus erat modo ad hunc diem c. there it signifieth the present Tense or time but in the principal case if modo should signifie the present tense then it would not stand with this word sursum reddidit which is the preter tense but if here it be construed that modo signifieth the present tense this may well stand with sursum reddidit and the meaning of the Queen ought to be taken to be that the Queen was deceived and the Patent void although in the principal case here was a good surrender before the second patent yet until agreement nothing vests in the Queen and therefore if a man pleads a surrender made by the lessee to him in reversion he ought to plead an agreement to this surrender and 13. H. 4. that this is not in him before agreement and entrie and 32. E. 3. Bar 262. that until agreement nothing vests in him it was lately adjudged in the Common Pleas where an incumbent had resigned yet until the ordinary did agree unto it he remained an incumbent still and for that in asmuch as the Queen had not agreed before the second Patent made nothing vesteth in her till then and then she was deceived for she thought that she was in possession thereof at the time of the grant and therefore he concluded that he conceived the Patent was void Brock to the contrary and he divided the case into three points First whether here be an actual surrender found to be made in Law Secondly if the acceptance of the second lease be good or if the Queen reciting the estate and that he had surrendred which the Queen had accepted and that in consideration thereof she made the Grant whether this be made good although there be no actual surrender Thirdly admit that here he no actual surrender in facto whether this grant be aided by the Statute of 43. Eliz. cap. 1. but first before he would enter into his argument he said that he would wash away the Rubs cast in his way to make his way the smoother and first where it hath been said that if the Queen should take by contract or bargain without record that great mischief would insue for by that means the Queens title should be tried by the Countrie and in proof thereof he cited the Lord Latimers case in 12. H. 7.10 11. which he thought to be no authoritie for that purpose for there the opinion of the Court was delivered concerning the shewing forth of Letters Patents but not concerning matter of inrolment also the case was of an estate of inheritance to be conveyed from the King but the case now in question is but for an estate for life which may in law more easily be determined than an estate of inheritance conveyed also the case of 19. Eliz. Dyer 335. cited of the other part proves not this case for first the question was not there whether the King took any thing without inrolment but whether the Deed may be inrolled in the time of another King Secondly if
this be confessed that the King there should take nothing without inrolment yet this is not like to our case for here this is but to merge a particular estate which differs much from the case of conveying of an inheritance also this is confessed if there had been a Memorandum made in the Margent then the surrender had been good and the want thereof is the laches of the Clark and then if it should not be a surrender before the Memorandum made the Clark should make the surrender and not the partie and as to the Book of 37. H. 6. it is not answered for to say that the King hath no right to the thing granted before inrolment but that he hath the propertie that cannot be and to that which hath been objected that there doth not appear any intention of the surrender because that although the Patents are surrendred the estate remained the Book of 32. E. 3. Monstrance of faith 178. proveth nothing for there it is said that a man may plead that a Dean and Chapter did not lease modo et forma without shewing any Deed for there this pleading is not to devest any thing out of c. and also it appears in the principal case that his intent was to surrender for the Iury do finde that the Letters Patents were restored by the command of the Lord Seymor to be cancelled and to that which hath been objected if the second Patent should be good that the Queen might lose her Rent or condition because the first lease hath his continuance to that I give answer that the first lease hath not his continuance and therefore no loss can grow to the Queen and to that which hath been objected that the Queen is deceived it appears by these words modo habens c. restituit c. that the intention of the Queen was that the Lord Seymor had surrendred his estate before and that he now had nothing because that the word modo being joyned with the word reddidit signifieth the time past but as to that it seems to me that although modo poetica licentia in the strict construction of Grammer may signifie the time past yet the signification thereof shall not be so taken in the letters Patents for there it shall be taken in common construction and not to the deceipt of the King and therefore in the Dean and Chapter of Bristols case 7. E. 6. Dyer the words are nuper in Tenura I. S. et modo in Tenura A. B. there nuper is taken for the time past but modo for the present time and in 11. H. 7. Rogerum Townesend modo militem is to be intended that he is now Knight and not that he was a Knight in time past and not now also it is so to be observed here that these words habens et gaudens are annexed to this word modo both which are in the present time and restituit comes afterwards and so modo is not annexed to restituit but unto habens et gaudens also although the word shall be referred unto restituit yet all may well stand together for restituit may be referred unto the time present as siquae fuerint in 35. H. 6.11 and to that which hath been objected that until the Queen agrees unto the surrender the estate is not in the Queen he thought that where Tenant for life surrenders before agreement he in the reversion is Tenant to the Praecipe although he shall not maintain a Trespass before entrie for by 21. H. 7.12 it appeareth that an estate for life may be determined aswel by word as by surrender so in 9. H. 7. where the Tenant dies without heir the freehold is immediately in the Lord but yet he shall not have an action of Trespas before entrie now as to the first point he conceived it to be an actual surrender although there be no Vacat made nor any Memorandum and to examine it he did relate what Acts might make a surrender and to that purpose he said that words being used which do prove an assent of the Tenant that he in reversion shall have an estate that shall be a surrender without express words of a surrender for a man may surrender by these words Remisit or resignavit for the words are not material if so there be substance as in 40. E. 3. placito 14. and 40. Assises pl. 16. if a lessee for life saith to his lessor that you shall enter and I will that you shall have this land this is a good surrender So in 28. H. 8. Dyer 33. if a Termor agree that he in the reversion shall make a feofment that is a surrender so in 8. Eliz. Dyer 251 252. lessee for life is content that he in the reversion shall have the land and his interest that is a surrender but in that case it appeared that a rent was reserved and an agreement that the lessee should have it againe if he survived the lessor and therefore appearing plainly that it was not intended to pass by way of surrender it was at the last adjudged no surrender so in 14. H. 8. the Grantee of a Rent did surrender the Deed and that held to be a good surrender of the Rent it is daubted in 2. Eliz. Dyer in Sir Maurice Barkleys case 156. if the surrender of the Patent of an Office unto a master of the Chancerie out of the Court be good without beliverie of the Patent to be cancelled but that Book proveth nothing but that a delivery of a Patent to be cancelled shall be a good surrender though the Patent be not cancelled in facto it hath been objected that it matters not what commandment the Lord Seymor did give nor in what Court the Patents were given up nor before whom but to that he said in asmuch as it is found that the Patents were given up by the commandment of the Lo●d Seymor to be cancelled that being it was by his command it was his own surrender also it appears that the letters Patents were under the great Seal of England which alwayes issueth out of the Chancery and therefore it cannot be cancelled in any other Court and it shall be intended that they were given up to be cancelled there also this word restituit signifieth to restore and a man cannot restore any thing but where he had it and he had it out of the Chancery and therefore it shall not be otherwise intended but to be there restored so in Baggots Assise 9. E. 4.7 it is pleaded Quod restituit litteras Patentes Cancellandas and sheweth not to whom nor where and it was held to be very good but it is there pleaded Quod sursum reddidit Patentes Domini Regis and shewed in special to whom they were surrendred because it may be to any that hath power at the time of the surrender but a man cannot restore unto any but such a one who granted unto him and therefore needs not shew unto whom he did restore
the letters Patents is not material for he said it seemed to him that in rei veritate the particular estate cannot be sufficiently surrendred by this bare giving up of the letters Patents by the Tenant for life as it appears by Walshes Case cited in Altonwoods Case Cook lib. 1. and therefore he insisted not upon that Secondly he argued that a recital in the Kings Patents of a thing material if it be false and come by information of the partie is all one as a false Consideration and not otherwise and he said that it appears by Brook tit Patents pla 100. that all Considerations valuable although they are false do not avoid a Patent as where the King grants lands prodecem libris sibi solutis although that in facto this is false yet the grant is good also it appears by 26. H. 8. and Sir Thomas Wrothes Case and by 21. E. 4 fol. 48. that a consideration executed avoideth not a grant although it be false but he said that it appears by the Case of 18. Eliz. Dyer 352. that if the King make a lease in Consideration of a surrender of a precedent lease which in truth was void by some that the King may avoid the lease but others contrary because it was not done upon the suggestion of the partie but for a consideration executed and the surrender of the estate precedent was the material cause and consideration of the grant and he said that although in this Case there be not a good surrender of the letters Patents yet the Consideration being only the surrendring of the estate that is not material for as it is said in Altonwoods Case Cook lib. 1. if the King in Consideration only of the surrender of precedent Patents makes a grant in this Case there needs no averment of an estate for the surrender is not material of the letters Patents Also it appears Cholmleys Case Cook lib. 2. that if the King recite an estate to be made with Condition although that at the same time of the recital this is not Conditional yet if once this were Conditional the King is not deceived although the condition be now released and he cited also the Lord Chandos Case Cook lib. 6. where it appears that if the King recite a thing untruly which cometh not of the information of the partie this shall not hurt the Grant except it be part of the consideration and he said that Harris and Wings Case differs from this Case for there the King had a Tenant who held a Tenement by the yearly rent of six pounds and another Tenement of him by the yearly rent of nineteen pounds and he made a new lease of both those to the said Tenant without any recital of the former leases reserving but Nineteen pounds for both and there it was adjudged that the second lease was not good but he said that the reason of that judgement was not because the antient lease was not recited but by reason that a loss in the rent came to the King and so by intendment he was deceived and this was also upon the matter the reason of the resolution of Barwicks Case and also in Mack-Williams Case for there was not a surrender of the estate as the King intended which ought to be but in our Case the estate is well surrendred clearly and he thought that these words modo habens may well stand with the Kings intent aswel to a surrender in Law as to an actual surrender The Attorney generall to the contrary First for the recital that the information of the partie was that the King should have an actual surrender and so was the Kings intent collected upon the information of the partie Secondly that here is not any actual surrender Thirdly that by consequence it followeth that the Queen is deceived Fourthly here is no surrender in Law in this Case Fifthly although here were a surrender in Law yet that is not sufficient to make the grant good to the first point be said that alwayes a familiar construction ought to be made of the Kings grants and therefore if the King grant all his portion of Tithes in D. this doth not pass his Parsonage in D. although he had no other Tithes there so if the King grant all his Titheable lands within the Mannor of B. although the lands of Coppiholders are parcel of the demeasnes of the Mannor of B. yet these lands in such Case do not pass Cook lib. 1.

Altonwoods Case fo 46. a●so it appears by the pleading in Plowden in Wrothesleys case and in Adams case and also in Fulmerstons case that although the antient particular estate be gone in Law by the acceptance of a new estate yet it ought not to be pleaded as a surrender and therefore it shall not be construed that the King intended such a surrender which pleaders in their pleading do not accompt a surrender also he said that in regard that the Queen saith quam quidem sursum redditionem acceptamus it seems by that that she did not intend a surrender in Law and therefore accepted nothing but gave an estate c. and must be meant such a surrender to which she is partie by her acceptance also where the words are modo habens et gaudens and therefore it is inferred that the Queen intended an estate containing in the Patentee this is true for although that the Queen intended an actual surrender precedent to be made by the Patentee yet his estate continues against the Queen untill an acceptance of a surrender by her although also this may be called a surrender like unto a surrender of a benefice untill an acceptance by the ordinary also although it was found that the Queen made a new lease or letters Patents of the said Land to the said Lord Seymor yet it appears not that the new letters Patents were accepted by the Lord Seymor until a moneth after the making of them when he made a lease to Johnson and until that time without question there was no surrender either in fact or in Law and where it hath been objected that these words modo habens implie only the present time he said that the word modo will alwayes signifie such a time as the Verb with which it is joyned will signifie and therefore Cicero saith modo hoc malum in hanc Rempublicam invasit also the words Jam et nunc are of such signification as this word modo is and these words are alwayes governed by the Verb as Jam venit c. so in the Bible the story of Naaman and Gehesey Jam modo venerunt duo behold two young men are come to me c. and as to the second point it is clear that here is not any actual surrender for the King cannot take by an actual surrender without matter of Record And therefore it was holden in the Lord Stanleys Case that the King took nothing although his officers by his command did
of no force to avoid the lease Altham Baron Contra for the matter in Law but for the insufficiency of the verdict he thought that there ought to be a new venire facias for no judgement may be given for any partie for the insufficiency of the verdict for it is not found that Doctor Airie was presented And therefore he cannot have an action for it cannot be intended that his presentation was by a better name then the other presentation was and he cited the 11. H. 7. fo 8. and 17. E. 3 title quare impedit he who will avoid a presentation ought to intitle himself Secondly it is not found here that the Church is void sufficiently he said that if a Provost present himself this is void meerly and he cited Heckers Case it is not found here that Doctor Airie entred post inductionem for it is said that he entred ante praedictum tempus quo c. but not that he entred after induction and therefore it may be he entred before and then it is not good but for the matter of Misnosmer it seemeth that this avoids the lease contrary to Baron Herns opinion wherefore the chief Baron Tanfield advised the parties to agree to have the true case rightfully found by a new special verdict for he said to Doctor Airie that no judgement can be given for him what opinion soever himself and Baron Snig should hold the which they would not deliver for Snig Baron said that by 40. Assise that if a man be indebted to the King and deviseth all his goods to A. and the Executor assenteth and after this debt is demanded the Legatee in this Case shall be charged for this debt and so was it ordered by him and Tanfield as reasonable and equal but Hern and Altham contrary for it was the folly of the Executor to assent to the Legacie and they said that it was so adjudged and resolved in Sir William Fitzwilliams Case in the Exchequer Chamber by an English Bill Upon a motion made by Walter it was shewed by him out of a Record in the Tower that in the 31. E. 1. a Statute was made to discharge Merchants strangers from the payment of Prisage of Wine and allowed by the Court that no Merchant shall be chargable for the prisage of Wines see more of this Case in the Tit. of Doublin in Ireland An Information against Sir Edward Dimock THe Case of the Information against Sir Edward Dimock which was the fast Term was now argued again by Thomas Crew for the King but his argument I have not written Walter for the Defendant said that the Commission for taking of the acknowledgement of the lease was not returned in the life of the Queen nor the case was not put in this case in the Queens life time as it was in divers of the cales cited of the other side and therefore it differs from them in this case he observed foure points First if this lease should be good if it were never inrolled Secondly admitting that it cannot if here be such an inrolment as is requisite Thirdly admitting that the fease is good without inrolment or with this inrolment then if this can avoid the lease made in the Interim Fourthly if no lease be good until inrolment then if the confirmation being made before the inrolment can be a good confirmation And as to the first he conceived that the Cases put of personal Chattels vested in the King without Record are good Law but here it is of a real Chattel and he said that there are three reasons to prove that personal Chattels are in the King without Record First they are in judgement of Law trivyal Secondly they are perishing and of no continuance Thirdly the Records would be infinite if they should be of Record but there are no such reasons to prove that real Chattels should not be of Record for in the judgement of Law they are of greater value and are also more permanent and therefore Thrope saith in the 18. E. 3. that it had been adjudged that Livery ought to be made upon a lease for 100. years also lessee for years shall have aid but lessee at will shall not also it appears by Cook lib. 4. in Sir Andrew Corbets Case that a Gardian shall not avoid a lease for years also the Statutes regard leases for years and it was holden in Gravenors Case in the 23. Eliz. in the Court of Wards that a woman shall forfeit her joynture for making of a lease for 40. years by acceptance of a fine and reservation of a rent also lessee for years may falsifie a recovery also it is agreed of the other part that the King cannot take an use without Record and 6. E. 6. Dyer Bourchers Case the King cannot take an use without record also he said that in every case where a Deed or Record is requisite for a freehold the same conveyance is also requisite for a lease for years and therefore if a freehold be conveyed to a body politick it ought to be by Deed the same Law if a lease for years be conveyed to them and so if a lease for years be made of a hundred or rent this ought to be by Deed by 15. H. 6. fo 38. also in Bayes and Norwoods Case 41. Eliz. it was adjudged that a lease for years cannot be made to a corporation without Deed 2. E. 6. Brook Tit. Recognizance 19. a man cannot make a surrender to the King without Record the second point he said that the inrolment being made after the death of the Bishop Lessor or of the Queen Lessee is no sufficient matter of record for in judgement of Law nothing shall pass out of the Lessor until the inrolment and therefore the inrolment is the thing which maketh the estate and not only which perfecteth it and in all cases as appears in Say and Fullers Case the thing which maketh the estate or which perfecteth it ought to be in the life of the Lessor and therefore if a reversion be granted attornament ought to be made in the life of the grantor 40. Assises pla 19. 16. Assises pla 15. and Cook lib. 2. in Tookers Case and to prove further that the thing which ought to perfect the estate ought to be in the life of the grantor or feoffor he vouched 31. E. 3. tit abbe 10. and 41. E. 3. and temps H. 8. tit feofments if a feoffe enter not by force of a livery within the View this is not good and if a Bishop make a lease and the Chapter do not confirm it until after his death it is not good by 31. E. 3. tit Abbe 10. also here to prove that in respect of the Queen Lessee died before inrolment that the lease is not good for this purpose he vouched 24. E. 3. and the 11. E. 4. and the 7. H. 4. and 21. E. 4. that Chattels granted to the King shall go to the successor and not to the Executor and
the said resolution and he said that the case concerning parcel of the land contained in S. the Deed come in question in Parliament in the 43. Eliz. and it was then commanded that the Deed should be inrolled and also he compared it to a case put in Shelleys Case that the heir shall have land as by discent from his father although that the conveyance be not inrolled in the life of the father also he said that the Queen dieth not as to her body politick to the third point he said that the confirmation need not to be inrolled for it passeth nothing and is but a bare assent and therefore differeth from the case of Patron and Ordinary and of a disseissee for the disseisee hath right to grant end the Patron and Ordinary have interest in R. but Bishops are seised in their own right and therefore their lease wants the approbation only of the Dean and Chapter and he vouched Cook lib. 3. the Dean and Chapter of Norwiches Case and the writ of Sine Assensu Capituli in the Register proveth it for the tit confirmation pl. 30. observes and Littleton in the end of his chap. of discontinuance saith that a parson may charge the Gleab by the assent of the Patron and Ordinary and the opinion of Brook in the case of the 33. of H. 8. tit confirmation pl. 30. agreeth to this opinion and so are some opinions in the 7. H 4. fo 15. 16. and he said that this point was adjudged accordingly in the first of Ma. but he had not the record thereof and therefore he would not insist upon it and he vouched 1. and 2. of Ma. Dyer fo 106. and Cook lib 6. fo 15. Hodges Case that the acceptance of the Patron is good enough to make a confirmation to the fourth point he said that the confirmation was good notwithstanding it be before the inrolment of the lease for the lease shall stay his operation until all the Ceremonies be used for the perfection of the estate and he vouched Littleton fo 122. and 6. E. 6. Dyer fo 69. where a parson made a lease to commence after his death the Patron and Ordinary in the life of the parson confirmed it and this is good and he vouched also Anne Maiowes Case Cook lib. 1. where the father confirmed the sons grant when he had but a possibilitie and yet good and he vouched Dyer 2. 3. Eliz. fo 194. where a grant was incertain and the inception was before the confirmation after makes it good and therefore he said if disseissor and disseissee bargain land although it be but a confirmation of the disseisee which may be well enough without inrolment of the Deed by a bare delivery yet this shall hinder the operation until the inrolment of the Deed which should pass the estate from the disseisor and by Cook lib. 5. Fitz. Case it appeareth that one part of the assurance shall stay his operation until another part hath his perfection and therefore he concluded that here the confirmation in judgement of Law should stay his operation until the lease be inrolled which passed the estate see the argument of Serjeant Nichols to the contrary and also the argument of Thomas Crew in Easter Term and Trin. 7. Jac. Pasch 7. Jac. in the Exchequer Catesbies Case Pasch 7. Jac. in the Exchequer TAnfield chief Baron said that in the year 31. Eliz it was adjudged in Goar and Peers Case if Tenant for life infeoffe A. and his heirs to the use of the feoffee and his heirs during the life of the feoffor that this is a forfeiture because these words during the life of the feoffor shall be but to the use limited and he put the case which Serjeant Nichols put at the Bar of the Lady Catesby which was that a man suffered a recovery to the use of William Catesby and Anne his wife and of the longer liver of them and of the Executors of William for forty years if one Elizabeth Catesby should so long live William Catesby dies and the reversion came to the King by forfeiture and he pretended that Elizabeth Catesby being dead the estate is also determined in regard that these words if Elizabeth shall so long live refer to all the estate but Curia avisari vult It was said by the chief Baron that if a man plead a deed in writing and the other partie do not pray Oyer the same Term he shall not have Oyer in another Term in the Common Pleas but in the Kings Bench Oyer shall be granted in another Term. It was found by office that Elizabeth Bowes was convicted of Recusancy in 35. Eliz. and that a lease for years was made unto her in the year 36. Eliz. in trust and that she had conveyed this lease over according to the trust and a question was demanded if the King shall have this term or not for her Recusancy and it seemed that he shall because she is not capable nor lyable of any trust and therefore the conveyance made by the Recusant was as if it had been without any compulsion by reason of the trust If a Coppiholder of the Kings Mannor pretendeth prescription for a Modus decimandi against the Parson the right of Tithes shall be tried in the Exchequer and a prohibition was granted to the Ecclesiastical Court in this Case Owen Ratliff was lessee for years of the King rendring rent and he assigned his Term to Sir Thomas Chichley in trust for payment of the debts of the said Owen Ratliff and after the Debts were paid Chichley resigned it but in the interim between the assignment and the resignment divers rents incurred to the King and the Barons agreed that these arretages in Law may be levied upon the land of Chichley notwithstanding the trust but because the Court was informed that the Executors of Ratliff had assets and continued farmer of the farm at that time they compelled him to pay it and being present in Court they imprisoned him untill payment made and allowed him his remedy by English Bill against Chichley and that by the agreement Chichley was to have paid the rents to the King The Earl of Cumberlands Case IT was found by diem clausit extremum after the death of G. Eearl of Cumberland that King E. 2. gave to the Lord Clifford inter alia the Mannor of Skipton in Craven to him and to the heirs of his body and found further the discent in a direct line until the time of H. 6. and that the first Donee and all others to whom it descended were seised prout lex postulat without determining any estate in certain in the Donee and they found that H. 6. by sufficient conveyance concessit Revertionem nec non manerium de Skipton in Craven to Thomas Lord Clifford to whom the estate given by E. 2. was descended and his heirs by force whereof the said Thomas was seised prout lex postulat and found the discent to the
Common Law it is also to make an obligation in the name of another to be forfeitable although it was not at the Common Law so if we will have a confidence or a trust to be forfeited we ought to have a Statute made to this purpose and as to Pauncefoots case he said that the King had a title by the indictment of recusancy before the conveyance made by Pauncefoots but so it is not in our case whereby appeareth a plain difference betwixt the cases see the 14. H. 8. fo 8. the Attorney general to the contrary at another day and first he spake to the quality of the offence viz. the contempt and this offence as he said is aggravated by these circumstances First the command of the King himself came and not of any inferiour officer as Sheriff c. and it is immediately directed to the partie himself Secondly the command is that he shall return upon his faith and allegeance which is the strongest compulsion that can be used Thirdly the thing required by the King is the principal dutie of a subject viz. to be at the command of the King for service and not as the common summons in Law is to answer at the suit of I. S. and he said that this contempt is to be accompted in quality of a contempt from the very time when the privy Seal came to his hands for the words quod indilate c. and it hath been in all ages the course and use to punish contempts of this kinde by seising their lands and he vouched in proof thereof the presidents of John de Brittons case in 19. E. 2. and of Edward de woodstock in the time of E. 2. and the case in 2. Ma. Dyer fo 128. 2. Eliz. Dyer Barners case fo 176. and 23. Eliz Dyer 375. and Englefields case Cook lib. 7. moreover he argued in so much it is clear that the King shall seise his lands for this contempt it is to be considered what estate or interest the King shall gain by this seisure and as to that he thought that the King hath an estate at the least for the life of the effendor and that he conceived is proved by the presidents for these words are used in the seisure c. donec aliter duxerimus ordinandum c. and he said that this is proved by Englefields case and also by the way and manner of the seisure and disposing of the land for such contempt in 23. Eliz. Dyer 375. by the Statute of 13. and 14 Eliz made against fugitives also he used this reason to prove that the King had an estate for life viz. because the offender by this contempt had impliedly deserted his land and left it to the Kings dispose and then it is all one as if he granted the land to the King to hold and use as long as he pleaseth and such an express grant will create an estate for life in the King as is proved by 35. H. 6. where it is agreed that if I give land to A. as long as he will this is an estate for life and so here by this implied Art c. also as to that that may be pretended in this case that the King granted licence in this case to Sir Robert Dudley to travel for a time certain which time is not yet expired and therefore the contempt qualified or satisfied by reason of this licence to that he said that notwithstanding that was the case yet the contempt is all one as if he had no licence at all in regard it is countermanded by the privy Seal which injoyns him to return and to prove that this licence is alwayes countermandable by the King he said that besides the common usage and obedience of countermands of this kinde he said that it was to be proved by reason also and authority of our books for although here be a licence indeed yet there is great adversitie between a licence indeed which giveth interest and a licence indeed which giveth only an authoritie or dispensation as in our case for the one is not to be countermanded but the other is as appeareth by 5. H. 7. and 1. Ma. Dyer 92 and admit that after this licence and before the departure of Sir Robert Dudley the King had said unto him you shall not go this had been a good countermand as seemed to him and he vouched 9. E. 4.4 and 8. E. 4. if I licence A. to stay in my house for three dayes yet I may put him out in the mean time but otherwise it is if I licence A. to hold my land for 3. dayes because there an interest passeth and the reason wherefore this licence in our case is countermandable is because all licences of this kinde have tacite conditions annexed to them for no Act or licence wil. free a subject from his allegeance as appeareth by Doctor Stories case in the 13. Eliz. Dyer fo 300. and no man can put off or be dismissed of duties which belong to a subject no more then he can put off his subjection and this is the reason that an honor or dignitie intailed ought to be forfeited although it be intailed for the honor which is given by the King hath a tacit condition in Law annexed unto it and it ought not to continue in him who committeth Treason nor in his posteritie although that the partie had but an estate tail therein see Nevels case Cook lib. 7. and so had the King his licence which is but a dispensation for the time and countermandable by the King and he said that the Book in 2. Eliz. Dyer fo 176. makes it a doubt but he thought it clear for the reasons aforesaid and as to the material point viz. if this land shall be priviledged from seisure by reason of this bargain or not and he said that it shall not be priviledged for this conveyance which is revokable at the will of the Bargainor is meerly fraudulent against any interest of forfeiture for otherwise the Kings subjects are but as ferae naturae which when they are out of their pale the King had no means to reduce them within the Park again for in this case had no means directly to punish this offence upon the body of the offender but by the depriving him of the means of his maintenance and although there be no fraud here in the parties Bargainees yet the fraud in the Bargainor makes the conveyance void against the King for as it appeareth by our books the King cannot be an instrument of fraud although he may be party thereunto see 17. and 21. E. 3. so in the case of an infant cited before by Mountague all which and many others to this purpose of fraud are cited in Farmors case Cook lib. 3. fo 48. and whereas it was objected that here can be no fraud intended in the offender in regard he had a licence to travel and it cannot be intended that he presupposed any countermand of this licence and
come ceo only of foure Bullaries if this fine and the use of the estate passed thereby shall be directed by the covenant it was the question and it was moved for a doubt what Bullarie that shall be intended whereof the fine is not levied by reason of the incertaintie quaere and it was adjourned Nota that an estreate of divers fines imposed upon several indictments at the Quarter Sessions for several Riots was sent into this Court and the estreat here being mentioned not for what offences the fines were imposed and the records of the indictments were in the Crown office by a Certiorari and the chief Baron Tanfield said that the estreat was insufficient and we ought not to send out Proces upon them because they do not mention the quality of the offence for which the fines were imposed and therefore it may be discharged by Plea yet if the estreat be not warranted by the indictment so that the indictment is discharged for insufficiency in the Kings Bench the Record thereof may be certified into the Chancery and by mittimus transferred hither and we may discharge the estreat and Altham Baron agreed that the partie grieved by such fine upon an insufficient indictment may plead all this matter and spare to remove the Record and if the Kings Attorney will confess the plea to be true it is as good as if the Record had been removed which was not denied An Amercement for a by Law IT was moved for the King upon a lease holden for him that I.S. was amerced 10. l. because he received a poor man to be his Tenant who was chargable to the parish contrary to a pain made by the Township and thereupon Proces issued out of this Court and the Baily distrained and I. S. brought Trespas and it was said by the Barons and ordered that if I. S. will bring an action for the distraining for this amercement be it lawfully imposed or not yet I. S. shall be restrained to sue in any other Court but in this and here he shall sue in the office of Pleas if he will for the Bailiff levied it as an officer of this Court and for the matter Snig said that if I. S. received a poor man into his house against a by Law made in the Township there is good cause of amercement but by Tanfield it is nothing to us that they have a custome to make by-Lawes herein against a by Law made by us also a leet of it self hath no authority to make by Lawes or such an order but by custome it is good Snig and Altham Barons it is good policy to make an order with a pain in a Leet that no person shall receive any such Tenant as shall be chargable to the parish but clearly the Steward cannot amerce one for such a cause without an order with a pain made before Sir John Littletons case SIr Iohn Littletons case was that all the lands of a Monastery were granted unto one Dudley reserving 28. l. rent yearly for a Tenth of all the laid land according to the Statute and after Dudley granted the greater part of this land to Littleton and that he had used upon the agreement made between Dudley and him to pay 20. l. yearly for the Tenth of his part and Dudley had used to pay 8. l. yearly for that which he retained and after Dudley was attainted whereupon his part of the said land came to the King and now the Auditor would impose the charge for all the Tenth upon Littleton but by the Court although the Tenth was Originally chargable and leviable upon all and every part of the land yet it being apparant to them that part thereof came to the Kings hands it was ordered that the land of Sir Iohn Littleton should be discharged before the Auditor prorata and so it was and Littleton to pay only 20. l. yearly Sweet and Beal NOta that in Michaelmas Term 6. Iac. upon a special verdict this case was depending in the Exchequer viz. Anthony Brown devised a term to his wife until the issue of the body of the Devisor accomplish the age of 18. years bringing up the said child Provided that if the devisor die without issue that then the land shall go to the said wife for term of her life paying to the sister of the Devisor 6. l. 13. s. 4. d. yearly which he willed to be paid at two feasts half yearly and that if it be arrear then it shall be lawful for the sister to distrain and to detain the distress until it be paid and the Iury found that the devisor had issue at the time of his death but that the said issue died before he accomplished the age of 18. years and they found also that the rent of 6. l. 13. s. 4. d. payable to the sister was not paid at one day in which it was payable and that no demand was made for it and that Moil Beal who was the right heir entred for the condition broken and made a lease to the Plantiff who being outed by the wife brought an Ejectione firme and Chibborn of Lincolns Inne argued that the entrie of the heir is lawful first he said when he devised to his wife until his heir come to the age of 18. years bringing up the said heir if in this case the heir die within the said age the state of the wife is determined by reason that the education was the cause the land should continue to the wife and the cause being determined by the death of the heir before the said age therefore the estate is also determined and upon that he bouched a case in Mich. 3. Iac. one Collins devised that one Carpenter should have the over-sight and managing of his land until his son should attain the age of 5. years and the son died before he attained the said age and it was agreed admitting that Carpenter had by that devise an interest that it is now determined by the death of the heir to the second matter viz. when it is limited that if the devisor die without issue that then the wife shall have it by that it seems to me that the wife shall not have an estate for life by these words as our case for at the time of the death of the devisor he had issue so that it cannot be said that he died without issue although now we may say that he is dead without issue but in regard that the words of the will are not performed according to the proper intendment of them the Iudges ought not to make another construction then according to the litteral sence the litteral construction being properly the words to bear such a meaning and this as he said may be proved by Wildes case in Cook lib. 6. but more strong is our case because in a case which carrieth the land from the heir there ought to be a strong and strickt and not a favourable construction made to the prejudice of the heir
and therefore he vouched a case between Scockwood and Sear where a man devised part of his land to his wife for life and another part of his land until Michaelmas next ensuing his death and further by the said will he devised to his younger son all his lands not devised to his wife and adjudged that by the said words the younger son shall have only that parcel which was devised to the wife for life and not that which was devised unto her till Michaelmas and yet by Popham it appeareth that his intent was otherwise viz. that all that should go to his younger son so there ought not to be a strained construction made against the heir and so in our case the words being that if he die without issue c. that then it shall go to his wife herein as much as he had issue at the time of his death it cannot be said that he died without issue but that he is dead without issue and this appeareth by the pleading in the Lord Bartleys case in Plowden and he vouched also a case in the Kings Bench 4. Jac. between Miller and Robinson where a man devised to Thomas his son and if he die without issue having no son there it was holden that if the devisee had issue a son yet if he had none at the time of his death the devisee in the remainder shall have it yet he was once a person having a son and so in our case there was a person who did not die without issue and he vouched also the case of Bold and Mollineux in 28. H. 8. Dyer fo 15.3 when a man deviseth to his wife for life paying a yearly rent to his sister and that if the rent be not paid that the sister may distrain it seems to me that this is a conditional estate in the wife notwithstanding the limitation of the distress and he vouched 18. Eliz. in Dyer 348. which as he said proved the case expresly for there in such a case it is adjudged that the devisee of the rent may after demand thereof distrain and yet the heir may enter for the not payment of the rent although it were never demanded so that the subsequent words of distraining do not qualifie the force of the condition although there be there an express condition and in our case but a condition implyed and he said that it seemed reasonable that such a construction for the distress and condition also shall stand as appeareth by divers cases that upon such words the Law will allow a double remedy and therefore he vouched Gravenors case in the Common Pleas Hill 36. Eliz. Rot. 1322. where a lease was made by Magdalen Colledge to husband and wife so that if the husband alien that the lease shall be void and provided that they do not make any under-tenants and to this purpose he vouched the case of the Earl of Pembrook cited in the Lord Cromwels case Cook lib. 2. where the words amounted to a covenant and a coudition and if this word paying should not be construed to be a condition then it were altogether void and idle and such a construction ought not to be made in a will and he conceived that this rent ought to be paid by the wife without any demand upon the pain of the condition and therefore he vouched 22. H. 6. fo 57.14 E. 4 21. E. 4. by Hussey and 18. Eliz. Dyer 348. vouched before and so it was resolved as he said in the Court of Wards in Somings case where a man made a devise paying a rent to a stranger this ought to be paid without demand and he said that the Common case is proved when a feofment is made upon condition that the feoffee shall do an act to a stranger this ought to be done in convenient time without request by the stranger and so here it seemeth although a demand ought to be made by the sister yet the wife ought to give notice to the sister of the Legacy so that she may make a demand and therefore he vouched Warder and Downings case where a man devised that his eldest son upon entry should pay to the younger son such a summe of money here the eldes brother ought to give notice at what time he will enter to the intent that the younger brother may be provided to make a demand Edwards of the Inner Temple contrary First it seemeth that by this limitation the wife ought to retain the land until the issue of the devisor should have come to the age of 18. years for this a time certain and as it is construed upon such words in Borastons case Cook lib. 3. that the Executors there have an interest certain so it should be construed here to refer to a certainty which is until the time by computation that the issue should have attained to 18. years and the rather in this case in respect the devisor had otherwise disposed of the land until the son should have accomplished the said age Secondly it seemeth that the wife hath an estate for life not conditional in so much as the words are not joyned in the case the 18. Eliz. Dyer hath been vouched but that was upon an express condition but here it is by implication and then the clause of distress taketh away the force of the implication which otherwise might be thereupon inferred and therefore in 5. Eliz. Dyer it appeareth that the word Proviso annexed to other words makes it no condition in judgement of Law and so in 14. Eliz. Dyer 311. and he vouched also 18. Eliz. Dyer Greens case that if a man deviseth lands to his friends paying to his wife with a clause of distress this is no condition as it is adjudged Thirdly it seemeth that this summe to be paid to the sister is a rent and therefore ought to be demanded or otherwise in judgement of Law the condition shall not be broken and the 21. E. 4. the case of an obligation to perform covenants c. and a case between Wentworth and Wentworth 37. Eliz. that a demand ought to be made for a rent which is granted in liew of Dower for the wife brought a writ of Dower for the land of her husband the Tenant pleaded that she accepted a rent out of the land in liew of her Dower and the wife replied that the said rent was granted upon condition that if it were not paid at certain dayes that it should be void and that she should have Dower of the land and she said that the rent was not paid at the dayes c. but shewed not in her pleading any demand to be made and therefore it was holden evil pleading for such a rent ought to be demanded or otherwise the condition is not broken and so here Nota that this case was appointed to be argued again but after as I heard the Barons amongst themselves resolved to give judgement for the Defendant upon one point only which was that the estate
but otherwise it should be if an express confirmation was requisite in the case for then it had not been good and this difference is where the parties who confirm have an interest and where they have only an assenting power and this is well proved by 29. H. 8. Dyer 40. the Dean of Sarums case and by Cook lib. 5. 81. and 33. H. 8. tit confirmation Thirdly it seemeth that the bare returning of the Commission without an express inrolment is no sufficient matter of Record to intitle the King to the lease for it is without inrolment no more but an acknowledgement and the Deed ought to be of Record to pass the estate 7. E. 4. fo 16. but he agreed that if the Commissioners return an acknowledgement of a debt this is sufficient to make a debt upon Record 2. H. 7.10 but if Commissioners by a dedimus potestatem to take Conizance of a fine receive the Conizance of the fine and return it yet it is not a fine until the final Concord be recorded Cook lib. 5. Tayes case and so here it is no record until the inrolment Fourthly in regard there is no inrolment in the l●fe of the Bishop and so no perfect leale in his life this can never be good for this circumstance of inrolment is as requisire to the essence is the attornament is to the grant of a reversion and is causa sine qua non for the successor of the Bishop comes in paramount the Lessor as the issue in tail comes in partly by form of the guift and this is proved by the writ of de ingressu sine assensu Capituli in the. Register and therefore if the Bishop make a lease and dieth this leale cannot be affirmed after his death by the Chapter 33. E. 3. entry Congeable 79.11 H. 7. and yet a lease made by the Bishop is not altogether void by his death as it appears in Cook lib. 3. in Pennants case and he compared this case to the case of Smith and Fuller in Plowden where if a lease be made for so many years as A. shall name the years ought to be named certainty in the life of the Lessor for otherwise it is not good clearly and so here the Lessee ought to come in by the Bishop who was Lessor or otherwise this is no good lease and it cannot be so in our case because it wanteth inrolment to make it a lease in the life of the Bishop Fifthly he said the inrolment after the death of the Lessor shall not have relation to make the lease good for the Queen takes nothing until the inrolment made and therefore all is but words until the inrolment and it differeth much from the case of a bargain and sale for in such case an use passeth at the Common Law before any inrolment and this may relate well enough if the Deed be inrolled after within 6. moneths for the Statute of the 27. H. 8 of inrolments doth not hinder the relation for the words are that nothing shall pals by the bargain except the Deed be inrolled c. so that if the Deed be inrolled in due time it passeth from the beginning well enough but otherwise it is in our case see the 12. H. 4. fo 12. so a fine cannot relate but from the recording thereof for nothing passeth but by the Record and it doth not relate as a bargain and sale c. and as to the exceptions taken to the Bar he said that notwithstanding them the plea is good for it shall be intended the same writing which the information mentions and it is not like to Mary Dickensons case Cook lib. 4. fo 18. where the Plantiff alledged that the Defendant published a forged writing in discredit of the Plantiffs utle and the Defendant said quod talis Indentura qualis c. this doth not answer the Declaration for no like is the same but in our case the Bar cannot be better for the information is that by writing he demised c. and the Bar is that well and true it is that the Bishop by his certain writing made purporting a demise which he pretended to be no demise in fact and if he should say in express words as the information ought to be then he should confess the thing which is matter in law and ought not to take a Traverse to the demise alledged because it is a matter in Law if it be a demise or not to the second exception he said that he needs but to answer the express surmise of the information which is that two Commissioners c. and the Bat is expressy that they did not c. without speaking any thing that the other Commissioners did do any thing as if an action of accompt be brought and the Plantiff saith that the Defendant accompted before A. it is a good plea that the Desendant did not accompt before A. for though peradventure he accompted before another but this shall not be incended so the Bar is good He accepted to the information First it doth not mention within what time the first lease was intolled for the words are modo irrotulat Secondly the information saith not that the deed of confirmation was ever sealed but that the Chapter with their seal c. and saith not sealed and then it is not good wherefore upon all the matter it seemeth that judgement ought to be given against the King Snig Baron that the Bar is good and also the information first it seemeth that here is no Record to intitle the King to this land by the lease from the Bishop for if this deed which purporteth a lease made by the Bishop were found by inquisition to be acknowledged yet it is no sufficient Record 7. E. 4. and 5. E. 4. for the title of the King ought to be by the Record immediately from the party who makes the estate and Mr. Stamford is to be considered that if the King hath an antient right he may peradventure be in actual possession without Record but if he cometh in as a purchaser he shall not have without a Record and this is proved by the case of the Duke of Somerset in 19. Eliz. Dyer and Mackwilliams case in 3. Eliz. and be said that as to the relation if a man seised of a Mannor bargaineth it to me and rent incurreth before the inrolment I shall not have the rent although the Deed be inrolled within 6. monehts after and so of a condition and if a reversion be granted and before attornament of the Tenant the rent incurreth the grantee shall not have the rent notwithstanding any relation as to the point of confirmation he vouched the case of Patrick Arch-Bishop of Dublin in Ireland cited in Dyer also he vouched Dyer fo 105. and by these books it seemed that in this case a confirmation is required to be made and a bare assent is not sufficient and therefore if an incumbent make a lease for years and the Patron grants the next
Serjeant moved that this matter might be specially found Tanfield said the Iury knows our opinion and therefore leave it to them and the Verdict was given that the condition was not broken See Term Pasch that proofes by deposition taken here in a former suite shall be allowed in this notwithstanding all the parties be alive and it was adjourned Note that in Staffords case in the Court of Wards this Term Flemming and Cook were of opinion with Tanfield here viz. That notice ought to be given to the Infant in the Case above-said I. S. was Parson of D. as appropriate and A. is Vicar and the King is Patron of the said Vicaridge and debate was between the Parson and the Vicar this Suite ought to be in the Exchequer for these Tithes and by the Court it may be commenced accordingly by English Bill in the Exchequer or by Action to the Office of Pleas for it is apparant that the King is Supreme Ordinary this was Pasch 9. Jacobi Sir Stephen Leazures case IN Sir Stephen Leazures case upon a charge upon Sir Thomas Gresham deceased Process issued to the Sheriffs of London to inquire what Lands the said Sir Thomas had in London at the time of the debt accrewed and to whose hands c. And the Inquisition found that the said Sir Thomas was seised of divers Messuages in London in four severall Parishes viz. in c. And now the Maior and Comminaltie of London came as Tenants of the premisses and demanded Oyer of the Inquisition and then demurred thereupon and by the Court the Inquisition is insufficient for the words of divers c. are so generall that no exception thereupon may be made nor the party can give no answer thereunto so of an Office found in the Court of Wards as it hath been divers times here used see Carters case Pasch 8. Jac. in the Court of Wards Kitchin against Calvert SEe the Case before fo many Arguments therein at the Bar by Bridgeman Ireland Serjeant Hutton and the Atturney Generall in Michaelmas and Hilalry Jac. And now the Barons argued and first Bromley Puisne Baron argued for the first matter which is when a Church being void the Patron contracts with Parkinson for money to be given to present Kitchin the money to be given by Parkinson and Kitchin not knowing of this Symonie is presented instituted and inducted thereunto whether this be void or not The 2d Matter is admitting that this is void that the Queen presented Covell who died before Institution or admission if this presentation be good to Calvert without a Repeal of the Presentation made by the Queen and it seems to be in both points for the Plaintiff To the first point be said That the intent of the Statute was to cradicate all manner of Symonies and therefore the words are not if any man give money to be presented but they are if any present for money and the Iutors here found 20. l. to be given and nothing for what it was given or to whom it was given for if money be the meede a Presentation is void and therefore if I. S. be Patron of the Church of D. which is void and a stranger saith to me procure the Presentation for A. and you shall have 100. l. and he procured A. to be presented here if the Patron had notice of the money given to me this Presentation is void but otherwise not and in our case without notice of the Parson the Admissor and all which ensued thereupon is void by reason of the Symonie in the Patron and it is void as to the Parson also and if in this Case we are not within the words of the Statute yet we are within the intent cleerely as upon 1. Ed. 6. of Chanteries an estate made for years or for life to Superstitious uses shall be within the intent although not within the words of that Statute as it appears in Adams and Lamberts case Cooke lib. 4. So the Statute of 11. H. 7. should be construed to meet with Cases of like mischief as it appears in Sir George Browns case Cooke Lib. 3. and Panormitane saith that Simonia est Studiosa voluntas emendi vel vendendi aliquid Spirituale vel Spirituali annexum cum opere subsequente To the second Point it seems that the Presentation made by the King to Calvert is good without aid of the Statute of 6. H. 8. cap. 15. for Covell who were the Presentee of the Queeen had nor interest no estate and yet if he had it would be void by the death of the Queen for the presentation is but a commendation and therefore if the Patron present his Villaine this maketh no infranchisement and so if Lessee for years of a Patronage be presented this doth not extinguish his Term. And whereas it hath been said that the Kings Grant cannot be construed to two intents true it is if it be to the Kings prejudice but otherwise it is if it be for his benefit as plainly appears in Englefieldss case Cook lib. 7. See 17. Ed. 3. fo 29. Also it is without question that the King may actually revoke his Presentation as it appears by 28. Ed. 3.47 And this implied Revocation is as good being for the Kings benefit as an actuall or expresse Revocation Dyer 18. Eliz. 348. And it was adjudged in Pasch 3. Jac. in the Common Pleas Rot 1722. one Williams case that an Actuall Revocation or Repeale is not necessary And so it was adjudged Trin. 8. Jac. Rot. 1811. in the Bishop of Chichesters case and therefore the King may make a Presentation to a Church which belongs to him by reason of Wardship under the Seale of the Court of Wards because the presentation is only a Commendation as it was there said and so it was agreed also Trin. 8. Jac. at Serjeants June by Flemming Cook and Tanfield in the Lord Windsors case referred unto them out of the Court of Wards and there it was said by Cook that the King may present by Parol as it appears by 17. Eliz. Dyer and that a Second Administration may be well granted without Repeal of the first and also it seemes that the Statute of 6. H. 8. cap. 15. doth not extend to a Chaplain for he is not a Servant within that Statute nor a Presentation is not a thing within that Statute and moreover in this Case Covel who was the Queens Presentee is not in life and therefore this Case cleerely is out of the Clause of the Statute of 6 H. 8. and so he concluded on the whole matter that Iudgement ought to be given for the Plaintiff Altham the second Baron accordingly The Presentation made to Kitchin is void and the Admission and all subsequent thereupon is void also for the words of the Statute are that if a Presentation be made for monie it shall be void and that the King may present that Turne and therefore the want of privity in the Incumbent is nothing to the
above mentioned of a lease for years and also it was there said that if Tenant for life be the remainder to the King for years the remainder to another in Fee and the Tenant for life makes a Feofment in Fee this drawes the Kings remainder out of him and so he held that here is no gift Secondly that here is no imployment and so the Feofment is made good Altham second Baron contra I will consider only two points First if it be a gift for years or for ever and I say that it is a gift for ever for here is no intent in the Donor to determine the superstitious use because he doth not limit any other use to which it should revert but only that the Priest should be maintained for ever and as that which hath been said that it was not imployed he answereth that out of the Book of 22. Assises 52. where 12. d. is reserved for three years and after 100. s. seisin of 12. d. is seisin of the 100. s. because it is issuing out of the freehold as the case is in Littleton in the Chapter of Atturnement Tenant for life the remainder in Fee the Lord shall not avow upon the remainder but shall have it by way of Escheat for all the estates together are holden of the Lord but if land be given to finde a Priest in D. and one is maintained in S. this is a mis-imployment but in our case I conceive that the Feoffees have power to dispose the land as to them seems best and therefore it is uncertain and then given to the King as it was in Dales case land was given to the intent that a Priest should be maintained as I. S. and I. D. thought fit so that he had not less then 8. marks yearly the King shall have all for the Feoffees may give all to the Priest if they please and in Turners case land was devised to a Priest and divers poor men all is given to the King by the superstitious imployment and as to the words if by the Law it may be they are idle for id possumus quod de Jure possumus and therefore 9. Ed. 6. an office was given to one if he were able to exercise it these words are idle for the Law saith that he shall not have it if he be not able to execute it 30. Ed. 3.8 a gift to two and to the longer liver of them that the Survivor shall have it are idle words 10. H. 7. a Condition that c. and here it the condition had been until an Act of Parliament prohibit it they are Idle words for if land be given to I. S. and his heirs upon condition that if he die without heirs c. this is a void condition and Repugnant to Law Lastly I hold the feofment good by way of Admittance and that the livery takes effect notwithstanding the Queens interest 4. H. 6.19 the Kings Tenant for life is disseised he shall have an Assise and yet there is no intrusion upon the King 17. H. 7.6 the Kings Lessee makes a feofment the King enters and so he held that the judgement should he given for the Defendant Snig Baron argued much to the same intent that Bromley had done and that the Schedule is so circumspect that nothing is given after the 99. years and that a spirit of Divination forwarned him of the alteration and he agreed the Feofment to be good with this difference where the King is in possession actually and where the Reversion is in the King and the book of 2 H. 4.9 that none shall enter upon the Kings Farmor is to be understood of the Kings under Tenants and not of his Lessees Tanfield chief Baron said that neither by the intent of the Statute nor of the parties the fee is given to the Queen but it is apparant that during the 99. years the parties intent is in suspence for fear of alteration and that they would see the difference of the times and leave the disposing thereof to his Feoffees and if they had sold the land and with the money maintained a Priest as many stocks of money have used to do without doubt it had been forfeited to the King and not the land and it would be in vain to speak of an Amortization if it be for a stipendary Priest only for this would not be necessary to have a foundation incorporated and to make an Amortization for such a Priest and therefore it seems to him that there is no determination of his will after the 99. years but that all is left to the determination and disposition of the feoffees who then should be and after the intent of the Statute which was penned by Hales Iustice of the Common Pleas. I observe four words given appointed limited and assigned and I do not conceive that our case is within the compass of any of them for as I said before it is in suspence until the end of 99. years and the parties who should have the interest are not known untill the time come nor the estate setled until that time but if it had been conveyed to superstitious uses after it had been given to the Queen notwithstanding the conveyance had not been sufficient if he who did convey had power in respect of the abilitie of his person and the estate in him and therefore Pasch 22. Eliz. the case was this Sir William Say before the Statute of 32. H. 8. of Wills was seised of lands in fee not devisable and before the said Statute he devised it to finde a Priest and notwithstanding that the devise was not good yet it was adjudged that the land was given to the Queen by 1. Ed. 6. but if it were a feme covert or an infant who are disabled in Law or a Tenant in tail who is disabled in respect of his estate there it had not been given to the Queeen but in all cases there ought to be an assignment or otherwise nothing is given and there is a difference where one grants land to the intent with the profits thereof to finde a Priest there all the land is given to the Queen and where he grants a rent for the maintenance of a Priest for there the King shall have but the Rent and he said that the Case cited 5. Ed. 6. Benlos is good Law and as to that which hath been said That because the power of the Feoffees is uncertain it should be given to the Queen true it is where the power is uncertain to bestow the profits but if their power be certain it is otherwise and as to the imployment there is none because there is no gift but the imployment of the particular estate is an imployment of the Remainder and a small thing will make an imployment James case was of the Greyhound in Fleetstreet which was given to finde a Priest and the White Horse for the maintenance of another and the Feoffees of the White-horse maintained the Priest of the
