Warrant to his Servant or for Suspicion of Felony or the like And as 5 H. 7. 9. where the Defendant doth Justify by Custom of Faldage Or 9 Ed. 4. 22. where the Defendant in Trespass Justified for Wreck and in many other Cases where the Defendant doth Justify by Matter in Fait the same General Replicati●● De son Tort demesn hath been admitted Next of the Plea of Que Estate which signifies verbatim Which Estate or the Same Estate and is a Plea whereby a man Entitling another to Land c. saith That the Same Estate himself had he had from him As in a Quare Impedit the Plaintiff alledgeth That such Four Persons were seised of Lands whereunto the Advowson in question was appendant in Fee and Presented to the Church and that afterwards the Church became void Que Estate that is Which Estate of the said Four Persons he hath now during the Vacation by virtue whereof he Presented c. Vide Bro. 175. Tit. Que Estate Co. 1 Inst. 121. And see also 2 H. 6. 10. where holden That the Plaintiff in his Declaration or Title shall not Convey to himself by a Que Estate Otherwise in a Replevin after Avowry for after Avowry the Defendant is become Actor And so is 3 H. 6. 28. and accordingly are divers Books in Brook in this Title Que Estate And Mich. 1 2 Mar. Dyer 172. And yet as appears in the same Title 2 H. 4. 13. and other Cases there that where the Defendant by his Bar doth admit the Plaintiff Tenant to the Land there the Plaintiff in his Replication Conveying to himself Title to the same may do it by a Que Estate And by the Book 3 H. 6. 11. 22 H. 6. 34. and divers other Books in this Title in Brook The Avowant may in his Avowry Convey to the Plaintiff an Estate in the Tenancy by a Que Estate because he is a Stranger to his Title which seemeth Reason And it appears by the same Book in Dyer fo 172. That a Term cannot be Conveyed in Pleading be the Party Actor or otherwise by a Que Estate And to that Intent is 7 Ed. 3. Brook in this Title 31. be the same a Term or Estate for Life or in Tail And yet there 38 Ass. 4. the Defendant in an Assize did Convey from T. by Statute by a Que Estate And see 5 H. 7. 39. 40 Ass. 28. 15 Ed. 4. 16. and 2 H. 4. 20. of Tenant in Tail especially if the Party be to aver his Life And see in this Title Bro. 12 Ed. 3. That the Tenant may Rebut by reason of a Waranty by a Que Estate but not be Vouched And see 22 H. 6. 13. and 26 Ass. 8. But 10 Ass. 5. to the contrary And see also the Books 11 H. 4. 81. 37 H. 6. 32. and 1 Ed. 6. in this Title 4. That a Que Estate is not to be alledged in any of the Mean Conveyances but to the Tenant himself without shewing Coment notwithstanding the same hath been suffered And it appeareth also that in Pleading a Que Estate the Party by whom such Estate is Conveyed must be shewed in Pleading to have a Good Estate as by Recovery Feoffment or Release or the like and not sufficient to say That A. was seised whose Estate the Defendant hath And so is 7 Ed. 4. 26. and 9 H. 7. 14. Vide 21 Ed. 4. 21. That Tenant in Dower coming in by Law Conveyed her Estate by a Que Estate And so 6 Ed. 4. 12. although he came to the Land by Disseisin And so seems 31 H. 8. Bro. 48. if he Recover the same but against that is the Book of 39 H. 6. And it appears also That a Thing that lieth in Grant cannot be made Title to by Que Estate although by way of Bar. And so 11 H. 4. 89. of an Hundred And so 24 Ed. 3. 22. and 31 Ass. and 12 H. 7. 16 18. of a Rent or Common except it be incident to some thing that may pass without Deed unless he shew a Deed to maintain his Prescription And although in many Cases it be sufficient Title yet as it seems 6 Ed. 4. 12. is never Traversable but where both Parties Claim by one Person And yet see 19 H. 6. 56. and 11 H. 4. 81. where the Que Estate Traversed although the Party that did take the Traverse did not Claim by the same Person And see in that Title 6 Ed. 4. 12. and 18 Ed. 4. 29. That where the Defendant doth give to the Plaintiff Title by a Que Estate there the same is Traversable by the Plaintiff Next in Order we shall say something of Double Pleas. A Double Plea is that wherein the Defendant alledgeth for himself Two several Matters in Bar of the Plaintiff's Action whereof either is sufficient to Effect his Desire which shall not be admitted for a Plea As if a man alledge Several Matters the one nothing depending upon the other the Plea is accounted Double and not admittable but if they be mutually depending each upon the other then it shall be accounted single And touching Double Pleas see thereof the said Title in Brook's Abridgment as namely where one Answer will make an End of all as Ne dona pas and the like there no Doubleness or if the Defendant plead divers Matters and rely upon One of them or do shew in his Pleading divers Matters of Inducement or of Suspicion or doth alledge Two Presentments in a Quare Impedit the one in the Guardian or Particular Tenant and the other in the Party himself And 40 Ed. 3. 11. divers Matters alledged to oust the Conusance 11 H. 6. 10. to prove a Maintenance the Party may shew divers Matters And Ibid. 11. That Appendancy and Prescription is double But 13 H. 8. è contra And by divers Books a Lease and Release double And where one bindeth himself in 10 l. in the Indenture to perform divers Covenants the Plaintiff can declare but upon the Breach of one if he demand the 10 l. Otherwise if he bring an Action upon the Covenants as appears by 11 Ed. 4. 10. And by 9 H. 7. 23. One pleads that he was seised until by the other disseised against whom he did Recover and not Double because the one is Conveyance to the other And by 5 H. 7. 36. where one cannot come to the one Plea without the other there no Doubleness as Seisin and Feoffment and the like And 4 H. 7. 17. and 1 H. 7. 14. And by 5 H. 7. 1. Non dederunt arbitrium in scriptis Double And by 21 H. 7. 10. a Collateral Waranty and Assets Double and the like Whereof see more at large in this Title of Double Plea in Brook and Fitzherbert and in Partridge and Strange's Case in Plowden's Com. and in that Case in Dyer That Barganizasset and Concessisset not double because words of one signification And accordingly also 35 H. 6.

But divers Matters may be alledged to oust the Conusance or prove a Maintenance p. 134 Yet Appendancy and Prescription and a Lease and Release will make a Plea double ibid. Where one binds himself in 10 l. in the Indenture to Perform divers Covenants the Plaintiff can declare but upon the Breach of one of them if he demand the 10 l. but otherwise if he brings an Action upon the Covenants p. 135 Where one pleads That he was seised until by the other Disseised against whom he did Recover not double because the one part of the Plea is a Conveyance to the other ibid.

Law or not and must be given to the Plaintiff and not to another that enfeoffeth the Plaintiff And therefore 2 19 H. 6. Br. 1 c. it is a good Colour to say That the Plaintiff Claiming as Executor when he was not c. And for the Defendant to give the Plaintiff Colour by the Bailment of A. who afterwards gave to the Defendant is a good Colour by 6 H. 7. 7. But 28 H. 6. 4. to give the Plaintiff Colour only by a Bailment Ill notwithstanding to give him Colour by the Gift of the Defendant as Bailor by 7 H. 6. 31. is good And so is 21 H. 6. 36. and 35 H. 6. 54. to say That the Plaintiff pretending his Father to die seised when he did not did Enter no Colour because the Defendant himself destroyeth the same But 9 H. 4. Bro. 9. that the Plaintiff supposing his Father to die seised in Fee when but for Life is a good Colour It is a good Colour in Trespass by a Parson to say That he Claimeth by the Bishop and not by the Predecessor of the Parson as is 8 H. 6. 9. But 19 H. 6. 20. that the Plaintiff Claiming as Parson when he never was Inducted no Colour Otherwise if Parson 21 H. 6. 30. But to say That the Plaintiff Claimed as Heir when he was a Bastard a good Colour and so is that Year fol. 21. Or to say That the Plaintiff pretending Title to a Reversion without Attornment a good Colour And 19 H. 6. 46. 16. to give Colour by a Coparcener or Iointenant is Good And 21 H 6. 43. Doubted whether a good Colour to say that the Plaintiff claimeth by the Son and Heir of him by whom the Defendant doth pretend Title And 24 Ed. 3. 50. to give Colour as Heir of the part of the Father c Good By 2 Ass. 7. it is a good Colour to say That the Plaintiff Claimed to Enter as Lord by Escheat c. But otherwise as it appeareth by the same Book to give the Plaintiff Colour meerly by Abatement is no Colour But by 12 H. 7. 25. it is a good Colour to say That the Plaintiff Sowed the Corn and he did Reap and Cut the same And 18 Ed. 4 10. a good Colour by a Lease at Will And 22 Ed. 4. 23. it is a good Colour in Trespass for Tithes to say That the Plaintiff claimeth as Parson and the Defendant as Vicar And by 40 Ed. 3. 23. it is a good Colour to plead That the Plaintiff Claiming by Confirmation made to her Husband and her self or by the Confirmation of an Infant or Tenant in Tail or Claiming Dower did Enter although a Woman having Right cannot enter into her Dower Yet all these are good Colours Other Cases there be of Colours but by those above-cited the Reason of the others may well appear The next Point touching Matter of Form in the Defendant's Plea is the Conclusion of his Plea and when his Plea shall be to the Writ or otherwise By 8 H. 6. 18 19. in London or other Places where they have Special Grant not to be Impleaded elsewhere there they Conclude Iudgment de brevi and shall not Conclude to the Iurisdiction And 38 H. 6. 19. where the Defendant's Plea doth prove that the Plaintiff may have another Writ in the same Court there he shall Conclude to the Writ and not to the Jurisdiction But by Prisot 37 H. 6. 24. if the Plea be in Bar and the Conclusion to the Writ it shall be taken in Bar and so is 34 H. 6. 1 2. But of the contrary side is 37 H. 6. 48. in Forcible Entry If the Defendant Pleads to the Writ and Concludes to the Action he shall be Condemned because by his Conclusion he hath admitted the Writ to be good The like Law if he Plead to the Jurisdiction and Conclude to the Writ And by 26 H. 8. Brook Brief 409. If the Plea be to the Action of the Writ he may so Conclude to the Writ And as it appears in the Titles of Estoppel and Waranty If a man Plead in Bar an Estoppel Waranty or the like he shall Conclude upon the same and not to the Action although it were in a Writ of Right as in Fitzherbert's Natura brevium in the Writ of Right Patent appeareth But it appears to be otherwise at this day by all the Books of Entries For the Tenant or Defendant after his Defence immediately doth not only defend the Action by these words Et dicit quod praedictus A. the Plaintiff Actionem suam praedictam inde versus eum the Defendant habere non debet but also in the End of his Plea immediately after his Averment useth again the same words with an Et caetera c. And so is the Practice at this day Next in order we shall Treat of Averments their Natures and Signification and in what Cases they are to be made use of in Pleading and where not The word Averment is diversly used in our Law by some it is taken to be where a man pleadeth a Plea in Abatement of the Writ or Bar of the Action which he saith he is ready to prove as the Court shall award Others say it is an Offer of the Defendant to make good or justifie an Exception pleaded in Abatement or Bar of the Plaintiff's Action and signifies also the Act as well as the Offer of Justifying the Exception Averment likewise is either General or Particular A General Averment which is the Conclusion of every Plea to the Writ or in Bar of Replications or other Pleadings containing Matter Affirmative ought to be Averred with an hoc paratus est verificare c. Particular Averment is where the Life of Tenant for Life or Tenant in Tail or the Age of an Executor or the sense or meaning of Words in an Action of the Case for Slander are Averred in these words Cum hoc quod idem J. S. verificare vult quod c. And touching the General Averment used in the Conclusion of the Defendants Plea by the words Et hoc paratus est verificare c. that ought to be to all Pleas in Bar and to the Writ But by 3 Mar. Bro. Averments 81. need not to be to an Avowry because an Avowry is in the Nature of a Count or Declaration yet in the Books of Entries it is sometimes used in Avowries and most commonly in all Pleas of Replication but not in Rejoynders neither seems it to be hurtful if used where needless for then but Surplusage and Surplusagium non nocet But upon the General Issue or a Plea in the Negative or a Plea apparent in the Writ ought to be no Averment and 27 H. 8. 14. Adjudged that upon a Challenge to the Array there needs no Averment And it appears by 2 H. 7. 2. that in a

Replication Quod non habetur tale Recordum per quod liquet c. Et hoc paratus est verificare per Recordum illud is contrarient and naught Where it is said also That if a Plea want an Averment or have not a sufficient Averment the same is not good quod nota And it appears by 37 H. 6. 14. that in a Forcible Entry the Defendant pleaded Excommengement in the Plaintiff without any Averment because no Answer is to be made to that Plea But it appears in the Books of Entries That where a Plea is either pleaded to the Jurisdiction or to the Person by Matter en fait as Profession or Villenage there be always Averments whichs seem to be of Necessity by the last recited Book because to these Answers may be made quod nota And Note that by the Book of 37 H. 6. 23. If one have a Plea to the Whole he may plead the same to a Part Where it is said by Moyle That a Release or Iustification or any Matter in the Affirmative pleaded without an Averment of the Plea or pleaded in the Negative as Nil debet and the like without the Conclusion Et de hoc ponit se super Patriam and yet 1 3 Mar. 124. the General Issue was pleaded without that Conclusion and good or to plead a Bar in an Assize without taking the Tenancy upon him where divers are named in the Writ the same is Ill. There needs no General Averment in a Plea or Particular Averment in a Declaration of that which will come in more properly on the other side Hob. Rep. 78. 124. And by the same Reports 88. 106. there will need no Averment in a Declaration where it appears there are Reciprocal Remedies But by the same Book 251. where the Administrator durante minori aetate is Plaintiff in a Suit there the Nonage of the Executor must be Averred Secus where he is Defendant Yet by Sheppard's Abridgment Tit. Averment fo 230. the Executor of a Grantee of a Rent or Reversion expectant upon an Estate for Life may not Avow his Distress without an Averment that the Arrerages incurred after the Death of the Tenant for Life Adjudged And so by Hobart fo 141 142. he that pleads a Dispensation to hold in Commendam confirmed by the Kings Charter must aver the Performance of the Condition contained in it So by Perkins cap. 147. If the Defeasance of a Recognizance be dated before if in this Case any use be to be made of it it must be Averred to be delivered at or after the time of the Recognizance entred into By Coke's Rep. lib. 8. Case of the. City of London and lib. 9. 54. Averment needs not be of what is apparent as the Constitution made in London concerning the Sale of of Wares and Merchandizes appearing to be agreeable to and waranted by their Charter the same needs not be Averred to be so and if the Son bring an Assize of Mortdancestor he needs not to Aver that it is within the time of Limitation for that it appears to be so And by the same Author Lib. 7. 40. although any other Consideration than what is a Deed may not be Averred yet where there is an Express Consideration in it self in the Case as where a Use of Land is limited to a Wife this implies a sufficient Consideration in it self and therefore needs no Averment By Hobart 32. an Averment may be upon a Will but by Co. lib. 5. 68. an Averment will not lye of any thing that is against or besides that which is against or besides that which is expressed in a Will nor of any thing that cannot be gathered to be the Mind of him that made the Will by the Words thereof nor of any thing that doth not cohere with the Will especially if the Devise be of Lands As where one Devises to A. and the Heirs of his Body the Remainder to B. and the Heirs Males of his Body on Condition that he or they or any of them shall not alien c. In this Case no Averment may be taken by Witnesses that it was the Intent of the Devisor to include A. within the Condition by the words He or They c. So neither may an Averment be taken that the Intent was to give it to any other besides the Devisee But by Hobart 50. an Arbitrement in Writing may not be supplied by an Averment And by Bulstrode first Part fo 220. and Popham fo 201. it appears that if Tenant for three Lives make a Lease to another the Lessee in an Action brought by him needs not to aver the Lives under which he claimeth Nor by Goldesborough fo 97. needs he that sueth an Administrator upon the Assumpsit of the Deceased aver he had Assets after Debts and Legacies paid So by Hobart 297 and Coke on Littleton 373. it appears that if a Tenant disclaim upon an Avowry in Replevin he shall have Judgment tho' it be false For no Averment will lye against a violent Presumption though it be false By the Book of 34. H. 6. 42. and of 9 Ed 4. 4. an Averment may be had against any part of the Rolls or Records of County-Courts Hundred Courts Courts-Baron or other Courts belonging to Lords of Mannors But by Dyer 348. 177. no Averment will lye against such a Retorn as is definitive to the Trial of the thing Retorned as the Retorn of a Sheriff upon his Writs the Retorn of the Mayor Aldermen and Sheriffs of London upon a Writ of Habeas Corpus sent to them and the like But if it be such as is not Definitive as upon a Rescous or the like there an Averment and a Trial upon it may lye So if it be such a Retorn as may endanger a mans Life or Inheritance Also by the Statute of 1 Ed. 3. cap. 3. and Goldesbrough 129 130. and Croke 2 Part fo 13. an Averment will lye against the Bayliffs of Franchises so that the Lords thereof be not prejudiced thereby The same Law of Certificates For by Co. Lib. 7. 14. Lib. 9. 31. and Bro. Abr. 332. no Averment will lye upon such a Certificate as is a Definitive Trial in Law of the thing Certified as the Certificate of a Bishop touching Bastardy Excommunication Marriage c. But by Co. Lib. 7. 14. Lib. 8. 121. and Leon. 1 Part Case 285. an Averment may lye and shall be received against a Certificate which is only to give Information and in the Nature of a Trial and may also lye against a Certificate upon a Commission out of any Court and may likewise be received against the Certificate of Commissioners that affirm a man to be a Bankrupt But by Bro. 332. If a Bishop Certify that such a Parson doth not pay his Tenths Iuxta formam Statuti no Averment shall be received against it And in More Case 295. an Averment will not lye against a Justice of the Kings Bench or Common Pleas and the Custos

4 5. Mariae 162. How the Plaintiff Recovering 40 l. against one that hath Land in divers Counties may dividing his Debt or intirely have several Elegits But by Hobart 58. There may not be two several sorts of Executions out an once but one after another Yet Idem fo 2. If one Elegit be sued out and entred of Record tho' the Plaintiff get nothing by it yet he shall never have other Execution till something be found and no man will Record the Execution till he find somewhat Vide Yelvertons Reports fo 52. Where said That if a man be taken upon a wrong Writ of Execution tho' it be returned Executed yet because he in Truth never was in Execution a new Capias may issue out against him And Idem 180. Where Goods are taken in Execution in another County upon a Testatum returned That the Defendant Nulla habet Bona c. in London where the Action was Tried but in the County of B. where the Goods were taken which is false the Execution shall be avoided and the Party restored to his Goods again But by Moor Case 428. though the Court grant an Erroneous Execution yet that will not excuse the Sheriff where there is an Escape Yet by Hetley Rep. 157. Where the Sheriff upon a Fieri Facias takes a part of the Defendants Goods in Execution and delivers them to the Plaintiff and they be taken from him he shall have Execution de novo And by Popham in his Reports fo 206. one may be discharged out of Execution by word only as where one is in Execution at my Suit and I bid the Sheriff let him go this is a good discharge Vide Dyer 306. Where said That in all Cases where the Law doth once adjudge a Defendant to be in Execution at the Suit of the Plaintiff if the Sheriff suffer him to escape he shall be chargeable to the Plaintiff for the same in an Action of Debt or upon the Case Yet by Popham 41. if he be taken in a Fresh Pursuit tho' in another County by that he shall be in Execution again And by Co. lib. 3. 71. where the Sheriffs of London at the going out of their Office by Indenture did deliver B. in Execution to the New Sheriffs and he being in Execution at the Suit of C. and D. did make his Escape D. only is named C. sues the Escape and had Judgment and held that B. was not in Execution of the Old or new Sheriffs and that the Old are to give notice to the New Sheriffs of them in Execution tho' they be upon Record and the Prisoners are in Custody of the Old Sheriffs tho' out of Office till delivered to New and if the Old Sheriffs die the New must take notice of them at their Peril and the Prisoners are in Custody of the Law between the death of the Old and the coming in of the New Sheriffs But see Co. lib. 4. Blomfields Case where two were bound jointly and severally by Bond both sued and condemned and taken in Execution the one escaped the other brought an Audita Querela and held not to lie Vide Rolls Abridgment 904. Where said That if A. be taken in Execution on a Capias ad Satisfaciendum at the Suit of B. and escape from the Sheriff and no return is made of the Writ nor is the Writ filed or any Record made of the Award of the Capias B. may have a Scire Facias against A. and thereupon what Execution he will And see More Case 1177. and Hob. 55 56. Foster and Iacksons Case If the Defendant die in Execution this is a discharge of the Execution for ever as an Escape is Yet Co. lib. 5. 86. contra But by Hob. 59. If two be bound jointly and severally to me and I sue them jointly I may have a Capias against them both and the Death or Escape of the one shall not discharge the other But I may not have a Capias against one and another kind of Execution against the other when I sue them jointly But when I sue them severally I may sever them in their several kinds of Execution but yet so as if a very satisfaction be had of one or against the Sheriff upon the Escape of one the other may be relieved by Audita Querela But if a Capias ad Satisfaciendum be had against one of them in this Case so as there is such an Execution as is a Satisfaction no other can be had against him or his Heir or Executor if he dies here none may be had against either of the others For where the Law gives three or four kinds of Execution by way of Choice and the Plaintiff chooseth a Capias ad satisfaciendum and the Defendants Body is taken thereupon it cannot be for part as in a Fieri Facias Vide Anderson Part 1. Case 166. Where the Plaintiff sued a Capias ad Satisfaciendum against one of the County of C. that was brought into Court in Custody of the Sheriff where the Plaintiff was present and being asked by the Court whether he would pray that the Prisoner might be committed to the Fleet answered that he would not And this he did because the Prisoner was poor and not able to pay and had escaped out of the Sheriffs Custody against whom he said he intended to bring his Action and thereupon the Court discharged him of his Execution not committing him to the Fleet nor leaving him in the Custody of the Sheriff because the Sheriff did not pray it Then as to the Force of an Elegit See Westm. 2. cap. 18. Dyer 206 335. Co. lib. 7. 49. lib. 4. 67 68. Fitzh Nat. Brev. 48. Plowd 224. 178. 2 H. 4. 14. Bulstrode part 2. 98 99. Lane 20. That upon an Elegit the Sheriff is to make Execution of a moiety or one half of all the Houses Lands Meadows Pastures Rents Reversions and Hereditaments whereof and wherein the Defendant at the time of the Judgment had or after had any sole Estate or Interest in Fee Tail or for Life into whose hands soever the same do afterwards come So also if the Husband and Wife do hold Lands for their two Lives they are Extendable upon this Writ But a Right only to Land an Annuity Copyhold-land the Land the Husband holds in Right of his Wife in Fee or for Life is not Extendable after her Death nor liable to Execution And all the Goods and Chattels except only the Beasts of the Plow which the Defendant hath or at time of Execution had are liable to Execution on this Writ as on a Fieri Facias But no Goods and Chattels really and Bona Fide made away before Execution are liable to be taken upon this Writ Vide Hob. 57. An Elegit may be sued of Lands in Ancient Demesn And ibidem it may be sued after a Capias or Fieri Facias both and after a Capias returned non est inventus But

the Bar ought not to be taken by Protestation Yet in Clere Haddon's Case the Protestation was Nul Wast fait and he pleaded that the Reversion descended to another and the like The next Point in order to be discussed is touching Colours in Pleading what is properly signified by the same and in what Actions they shall be given Colour signifies a Probable Plea but in truth False and hath this End to draw the Trial of the Cause from the Jury to the Judges As in Trespass for taking the Plaintiff's Cattle the Defendant saith that before the Plaintiff had any thing in them he was possessed of them as of his own proper Goods and delivered them to I. S. to re-deliver to him again upon Request but I. S. giving them to the Plaintiff who supposing the Property was in I. S. at the time of the Gift took them and the Defendant took them from the Plaintiff and thereupon the Plaintiff brought his Action This is a good Colour and a good Plea Vide Doct. Stud. lib. 2. cap. 13. and Brook fo 104. Title Colour in Assize Trespass c. And First Colours may be given in Actions of Trespass as is said above of Cattle of Goods or in Land or in Assize where the Defendant is supposed a Wrong-doer and doth not plead the General Issue but a Special Plea to excuse himself of the Wrong there the Law doth not allow his Plea good unless he suppose in the Plaintiff some Colour to bring such an Action For the Law of it self doth not intend any Man so injurious without Colour to charge another with Wrongs And Colour also by 19 21 Ed. 4. Br. 56. may be given in Entry sur Disseisin of Rent and so is 2 Ed. 4. 17. and in the said Year-Book fo 27. Colour was given in Ravishment de Gard and 19 22 H. 6. Br. 19 23. Colour may be given in Forcible Entries And so is 35 H. 6. 54. and other Books that Colour may be given in an Action upon the Statute of 5 Ric. 2. and in no other Writs or Actions as I can find Nor in these neither as the Pleading may be as if the Defendant pleadeth the General Issue and do not Justifie or pleadeth some Plea that meerly Determineth the Right as appears in Brook 14 Assize a Feoffment with Warranty Fine Recovery and the like The like Law is 21 Ed. 4. 18 15. where one Justifies for Distress Wreck or Waifs and Estrays or by any other Matter of Record But see there other Books viz. 2 12 Ed. 4. 38 H. 6. 7. and 37 H. 6. 7. varying whether one shall give Colour where the Defendant doth Justify for Wreck Waifs and the like c. And so 34 H. 6. 10. in the same and for Offerings And where the Defendant doth Convey from the Plaintiff himself in some case he shall give Colour and in some not As 6 H. 7. 14. where the Defendant Conveyeth from the Plaintiff for life or years there he shall not give Colour and so is 22 H. 6. 50. otherwise as it seems by 8 Eliz. Dyer 146. where the Defendant pleads a Lease for years from a Stranger But by 15 Ed. 4. 31. If one plead a Feoffment in Fee from the Plaintiff by mean Estates he shall give Colour Yet by Brook 86. If one plead a Feoffment from the Plaintiff himself immediate he shall give no Colour And as it seems by the same Book and 18 Ed. 4. 3. that he that Justifies as Servant to another shall give no Colour and by 22 H. 6. 50. and 12 E. 4. 15. he that pleadeth his Freehold shall give no Colour But by the same Book and 12 H. 6. 18. He that pleadeth a Discent shall give Colour because it bindeth only the Possession and not the Right And by 15 H. 7. 10. and 21 H. 7. 23 where one Prayeth in Aid of the King there no Colour shall be given And 21 Ed. 4. Brook 56. he that Pleadeth to the Writ or to the Action of the Writ shall give no Colour But by 5 H. 7. 10. If the Defendant Entitle himself to a Devise he shall give Colour Whereof see more in the Title of Colour in Brook In the next place shall be shewn what are Sufficient Colours and in what manner they are to be pleaded And 50 E. 3. 18. where there were Lord Mesn and Tenant by Ten shillings Rent and the Mesn brought an Assize against the Lord and he pleaded this Matter without giving any Colour And by 20 H. 6. 27. If one brings an Action for Trespass done in D. and the Defendant Justifieth in another Place and Traverseth Absque hoc quod ipse est Culpabilis in D. there he may give Colour And by 22 Ed. 4. 24. 5 Ed. 4. 134. and 21 H. 6. 32. c. Colour must be always given by the first and not by any mean in the Conveyance And therefore 38 H. 6. 5. the Defendant pleaded that A. was seised to whom B. Released and gave Colour by B. and ill Neither may Colour be given by a Stranger as appears by 38 H. 6. Brook 16. and as it seems ought to be given by an Estate not apparently determined as is 19 21 Ed. 4. Br. 56. where in Trespass against a Parson Colour was given to the Plaintiff by a Lease for Life of his Predecessor but yet there doubted And 7 H. 7. 13 14. the Defendant gave Colour by a Lease pur auter vie which was dead and Good So that it seems by these Books that although the Estate appear determined yet the Colour is Good But where a Possession defeated is given to the Plaintiff as 9 H. 6. 32. where the Defendant in an Assize or in Trespass doth plead that he was seised until by A. disseised who did enfeoff the Plaintiff and he did Enter a good Colour And so is 2 H. 4. and 9 Ed. 4. 15. where Colour was given by one whose Estate was defeated by Recovery And so seems 35 37 H. 6. Brook 6. where the Defendant doth plead that A. took his Goods and gave them to the Plaintiff and after that he the Defendant took them again and held a good Plea And accordingly is 2 H. 4. 13. where it is not Immediate Wrong Otherwise where he doth plead that he was possest until the Plaintiff took his Goods and he did afterwards retake them from the Plaintiff for that doth amount only to the General Issue but there it is more doubted in another Case where the Defendant in Trespass of Trees did plead that he was seised until by the Plaintiff disseised who did Cut the Trees and squared them and then he the Defendant did re-take them And see Brook 64. that Colour ought to be by a Title or Possession doubtful to the Lay-People whether the same be good in

Declaration mistake the Contract either in the Sum or in the Thing sold Nil debet will be a good Plea But 34 H. 8. Bro. 89. in Debt upon an Escape if the Defendant plead Nul Escape he cannot give in Evidence No Arrest Then upon the Issue Ne Lessa or Ne Enfeoffa pas holden in Fogassa's Case That upon the Issue Ne Lessa pas the Plaintiff shall not give in Evidence a Lease by Deed but may a Lease Conditional as on an Agreement Conditional And so is 14 H. 8. 17. the Parties being in Issue upon a Grant Evidence was given of a Grant so he obtained the Will of his Lessor And 12 Ed. 4. 4. upon a Feoffment pleaded by Deed Evidence cannot be given without or by other Deed. And 50 Ed. 3. 6. if a Demise to the Baron and Feme be pleaded a Fine sur Release to them is no Evidence to prove the same And 18 Ed. 4. 29. if one plead Ne Enfeoffa pas he may give in Evidence that the Parties were Jointenants But 15 Ed. 3. Bro. 95. the Issue Ne dona pas may be Maintained by a Devise And as the Books are upon a Feoffment a Lease and Release are good Evidence And by 1 2 Mariae Dyer 116. upon Non dimisit modo forma one shall have advantage of the Date and Number of years Next what Evidence shall be given upon the Pleas of Non est factum riens passa c. First It is doubted 1 2 Mariae Dyer 112. that whether upon the Plea Non est factum the Defendant may give in Evidence that the Plaintiff afterwards pull'd off the Seal But 15 Ed. 4. 18. upon Non est factum generally he may give in Evidence Nient Lettered c. And so 14 H. 8. 28. upon Delivery as an Escrow But 5 H. 7. 3 8. upon Riens passa Non est factum it seems cannot be given in Evidence tamen quaere And Note That in Actions of Maintenance or other Actions upon the Statutes in some Cases the General and in others the Special Issue shall be taken For which see their proper Issues in the Nature of every Action And therefore First in Maintenance it appears by 28 H. 6. 6. that if the Defendant in Evidence shew a Special Maintenance as sworn in a Iure Patronatus and the like that will not stand with the General Issue But 22 H. 6. 35. upon the General Issue he gave in Evidence That at the Request of the Party he gave him Counsel to sue out a Supersedeas and good because no Maintenance but in that Case ought of necessity to plead the General Issue And if the Defendant in Maintenance be charged with a Special Point of Maintenance he must Answer to the same and the General Issue then shall be no Plea for him And what be the Proper Issues in Actions upon the Statutes see that Title in Brook's Abridgment as in Forcible Entry Non ingressus est contra formam Statuti But 3 Ed. 4. 1. doubted whether he may not plead Non Culpabilis in Trespass upon 5 Ric. 2. and 1 Ed. 5. 4. In that Case the Plea of Non Culpabilis admitted upon the Statute of 21 H. 8. of Farms as before-cited Non habuit nec c. And upon the Statute of Livery Que ne dona pas les Robes and not Non Culpabilis quod nota and the like And it appears in Dyer 3 4 Mariae 145. that in Debt upon a Pain given by Statute Nil debet per Patriam is a good Plea But there and in 50 Ed. 3. doubted in Debt upon an Escape against a Gaoler And 18 Eliz. 346. in an Information upon the Statute of Usury Non Culpabilis a good Plea Next of the Plea of Hors de son Fee Upon which it seems 27 H. 8. 20. that the Avowant giving in Evidence Seisin of Rent without a Fealty not sufficient And 10 Ed. 4. 10. if one plead Hors de son Fee the other shall not shew a Tenure Et issint deins son Fee but Deins son Fee prist c. Then of the Issue Ne unques Executor or Pleinment Administer where 't is holden 9 H. 7. 14. that upon either of these Pleas if the Plaintiff doth Reply Assets or that he did Administer he need not shew what Assets or what thing he did Administer special And 9 Ed. 4. 40. upon the Plea of Ne unques Executor the Defendant may give in Evidence that he is Administrator or that the Goods were given him in another County which the Jury are bound to find The like of Assets in any other County given in Evidence And 3 H. 6. 3. where the Issue upon Assets in mains del Executor it is good Evidence for the Plaintiff to say that he sold the Land by the Appointment of the Testator c. And where the Issue is upon Prescription by 34 H. 6. 36. if the Plaintiff give in Evidence a Deed within time of Mind the Defendant may Demur upon the Evidence Otherwise by 12 H. 4. 24. if the Deed be time out of Mind For such a Deed although it were the Kings Patent cannot be pleaded And 4 5 Mariae Dyer 164. if one Prescribe for Common Appurtenant to two several Houses for twenty Beasts and give in Evidence that he hath Ten to either House the Issue fails So if he fail of his Proof in the same Nature his Plea is it is ill As 1 2 Eliz. Dyer 192. Issue was taken upon the Custom of a Mannor relating to a Copyhold Estate whether the Widow ought to hold for Life and the Evidence proved only during her Widowhood and ill quod nota So by Co. 1 Inst. 283. if in Debt upon an Obligation the Defendant plead Non est factum and give in Evidence the Bond is Joynt and not Several this is ill and will be no good Evidence but if pleaded Specially would have barred Or if in an Assise Nul tort is pleaded and a Release after the Disseisin is given in Evidence So by Keilway 55. where the Issue in Trespass for Assault and Battery is Not Guilty and the Defendant gives in Evidence son Assault demesne The Evidence in none of these Cases will be good But by Co. Lib. 5. 119. Lib. 11. 27. if in Debt on an Obligation the Defendant plead Non est factum and upon Trial gives in Evidence That the Seal of the Bond was broken off and put on again or That any part of it was Raz'd it will be a good Proof to bar the Plaintiff And Idem 1 Inst. 283. if the Point in Issue be upon a Transitory Trespass done at a day or place certain and the Proof given is That it was done at another day before or at another place this is good enough But otherwise it is where the Proof is that it was done at a time after the Day laid in the Declaration So by Plowd 8. if

Tender and a Refusal by the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff took the Refusal by Protestation and Traversed the Tender as he ought because no Refusal without a Tender See Dyer 28 H. 8. 31. In Debt upon an Obligation the Condition whereof was to make an Assurance of Lands upon Request as by the Counsel of the Plaintiff should be devised And the Defendant pleaded by Protestation That the Plaintiff's Counsel made no Devise and for Plea That he was not Required To which the Plaintiff Replied That his Counsel devised a Release which he Requested the Defendant to Seal and he Refused And the Defendant would have Traversed the Refusal and could not but ought to maintain his first Plea that is the Request and the Plaintiff should not have mentioned a Refusal but have Concluded the Issue upon the Request the Defendant offering a Negative Plea before And so 36 H. 6. 15. the Defendant in Debt did plead an Award to pay 10 l. at such a Place which he was ready at the time to do and the Plaintiff came not to receive the same There the Plaintiff may say That he was there ready without Traverse because the Defendant had Tendred a Negative Plea before Then Of the Issue Negative Pregnant which is a Negative that implies or contains in it self an Affirmative As where an Action Information or such like is brought against one and he pleadeth in Bar to the Action Or otherwise a Negative Plea which is not so direct an Answer to the Action but that it includeth also an Affirmative As if a man be Impleaded to have done a Thing on such a Day or in such a Place denies that he did it Modo forma declarata which implies nevertheless that in some sort he did it Or if a Writ of Entry in Casu proviso be brought by him in the Reversion upon an Alienation of Tenant for Life supposing that he hath Aliened in Fee which is a Forfeiture of his Estate and the Tenant to the Writ saith That he hath not Aliened in Fee this is a Negative wherein is included an Affirmative For tho' it be true that he hath not aliened in Fee yet it may be he hath made an Estate-Tail which also is a Forfeiture and then the Entry of him in the Reversion is Lawful Vide 33 H. 8. Br. Issue 81. Where upon an Information for buying Cloaths at B. contra formam Statut ' Ne achata al B. contra formam Statut ' ill but ought to be Ne achata pas Modo forma c. Yet 16 Ed. 4. 5. One pleads a Release puis le darein Continuance Nient son fait puis le darein Continuance a good Issue And 12 Ed. 4. 4. One did plead a Feoffment by Deed and the other Replied Que ne Enfeoffa pas modo forma and good without answering to the Deed. As in a Formedon to Count of a Special Gift the other-ought to say Ne dona pas modo forma Where it s said by Littleton That if the Plaintiff proveth not the Feoffment by Deed he faileth Now Modo forma are Words of Art in Pleading namely in the Answer of the Defendant whereby he denies the Thing laid to his Charge Modo forma prout the Plaintiff hath Declared against him As the Civilians in like case say Negat allegata prout allegantur esse vera And it is to be Observed that upon Issues these Words Modo forma are not always of Substance as appears by Littleton in his Chapter of Releases where the Disseisee enters upon the Heir of the Disseisor who brings his Writ of Right Or where as before one in a Writ of Casu Proviso doth Count upon an Alienation in Fee and the other doth say Ne Aliena modo forma and found that he Aliened for Life Or where the Defendant in Trespass doth plead That the Plaintiff doth hold of him by Fealty and Ten shillings Rent and so demandeth Judgment of the Writ Vi armis and the Plaintiff Replieth Que il ne teigne modo forma And if the Verdict find that he holdeth only by Fealty yet good And so in Trespass of Battery If the Jury upon the General Issue find the Defendant Guilty at any other day and place before the Plaintiff supposeth his Trespass But see more of Issues afterwards in the Titles Traverse Pleading c. The next in Order is touching Traverse in Pleading which signifies in Pleading to deny some Point Matter or Thing alledged on the other side the formal Words of which are in our French Sans ceo in Latin Absque hoc and in English Without that And first to begin with the Time It is plain as hath been already said that if the Defendant in Trespass pleads Non Culpabilis he shall have no advantage of the Time but the Jury may find him Guilty at another day be the Trespass Transitory or Local And by Littleton in his Chapter of Releases so 13. In Trespass of Battery and the General Issue pleaded the Jury may find the Defendant Guilty at another day and place And so is also 19 H. 6. 47. and 39 Ed. 3. all in the Title of Traverse But in Case of Trespass and other Actions if the Plaintiff in his Declaration lay a time before his Cause of Action the Defendant in all Cases upon the General Issue shall have advantage thereof But on the contrary if once he have Cause of Action it so still continueth until he have discharged the same and therefore he may lay it after the day The like as it seems upon the Issue of Non dimisit for as before Littleton in the Chapter Releases the Words Modo forma in an Issue be not always of Substance Quaere tamen if not as if in the Number of years And as divers Books be In many Cases where the Defendant doth Iustify he may Traverse the Time before and in some Cases the Time after and in other some the Time before and after And therefore where the Defendant in Trespass of Lands or Goods maketh himself Title by a Feoffment Gift or otherwise which still is in force such a day after he shall only Traverse the Time before the Trespass supposed And so is 15 Ed. 4. 23. 22 H. 6. 29. and other Books in the Title of Traverse And where by a Lease or other Title made and determined before the Day of the Trespass there he must Traverse the Time after and before his Lease But whether the Plaintiff may there Traverse that Iustification hath been a Question because in so doing he Departeth from his Declaration And the better Opinion of the same Book of 15 Ed. 4. 23. is That the Plaintiff may But 22 Ass. 36. the Defendant in Trespass of Battery did plead a Release and Traversed the Time and the Plantiff Replied the Release was obtained by Duress and by the better Opinion no Plea for the Reason aforesaid And 2 R. 3.

103. And touching the Pleading of In Iure Domus the said Book of 1 2 Mar. holdeth the same good being alledged in a Master and Brother without shewing In jure Domus because it cannot be intended otherwise The like in Fulmerston's and Steward's Case in Plowden Otherwise of a Bishop And see a good Difference in Grindon's Quare Impedit in Plowden If a Religious House be seised of a Parsonage Impropriate and part of the same be in Question the Seisin must be alledged ut in Iure Rectoriae But if the Advowson or the whole Parsonage be in Debate then the Seisin must be alledged ut in Iure Domus Then VVhether it be sufficient to alledge a Seisin in any without shewing of what Estate See first 24 Ed. 3. 75. where one pleaded That his Father was seised and died seised c. and shewed not of what Estate and ill because a Title made thereby But otherwise in Dyer 21 22 Eliz. 365. in Sir Francis Leak's Case in a Replevin where the Question was about keeping the Inclosure the Avowant did say That he was seised in his Demean as of Fee c. which was Traversed where said That he need not in this Case shew any Estate whereof he is seised because touching this Matter his Estate is not Material Yet holden 21 Ed. 4. 52. He that pleadeth an Estate for Years shall shew how he that Let it him was seised quod nota Then How he that hath but an Estate for Life or an Estate-Tail or an Use shall plead the same without shewing the beginning thereof And first touching an Use the Books for the most part are That such an one was seised to his Use without shewing how the same was Created And 36 H. 8. Bro. Pl. 160. is That it is good And so 21 H. 7. 6. and 28 H. 8. Dyer But cannot say That A. was seised in Tail without shewing de quo dono And touching that 16 H. 7. hath a difference between an Office and Pleading And 13 H. 7. 18. is That one may plead that A. and others were seised to his Use in Fee but not in Tail without shewing Coment Vide Dyer 1 Eliz. Doubtful And 1 Ed. 4. 65. where one did Justify for Tithes as Parson Imparsonee he ought to shew How he came to the Parsonage And Mich. 6 7 Eliz. in Dyer 79. the Plaintiff in Partition did declare her self to be Co-heir in Tail with the Defendants of the Inheritance of the Duke of Suffolk without shewing the Beginning of the Tail because it doth affect the Possession of the Defendants and doth demand no Lan● And 1 Mar. Dyer 100. If Tenant for Life or in Tail bring a Writ of Entry he shall declare the Seisin Ut de libero Tenemento Then VVhere in Pleading for Certainty to every Intent it must be shewed that the Estate did Continue at the time or the like As 10 H. 7. 26. and 7 H. 7. 3. If one Justify by the Commandment or Lease of Cestuy que Use he must shew expresly that the Use Continued at the time And so 10 H. 6. 21. If a Recovery be pleaded against one by Default he must say expresly That he was Tenant at the time Or in Pleading of a Release by Fine or otherwise That the Party was Tenant at the time And so 21 22 E. 4. And see Dyer 2 Eliz. 178. where one pleaded That a Prior and Convent were seised of a Reversion Ac postea Concesser ' Reversionem And did not say Et sic inde seisitus or de tali statu seisit ' and there said it shall be intended to Continue And Ibid. 3 4 Mar. 143. In Pleading of a Discent the Form is Et sic seisit ' de tali statu suo obiit inde seisit ' And 20 Eliz. Dyer 361. One pleaded a Grant of a Rent to him out of Land without shewing expresly That the Grantor was seised of the Land at the time c. Then is to be known When and of which Side the Place in Pleading shall be shewed For which see a good Case 1 Ed. 5. 3. where holden That if the Defendant plead that A. was possest it shall be intended in the same County where the Action lay The like if one plead a Release of Action Arbitrement or the like But if one plead a Surrender and Release of Right and doth alledge no Place it shall be intended upon the Land per totam Curiam And 10 H. 7. 6. In Debt against an Executor the Defendant did plead That there was another Executor in Life and shewed not at what Place because if the other deny the same he shall in his Rejoynder say In vie al Dale c. And so 2 Ed. 4. 14. In Debt against an Abbot upon a Contract Quod venit ad Usum Domus the Defendant said Quod non venit ad Usum Domus and the Plaintiff in his Replication shewed at what Place And 12 Ed. 4. 10. He that Justifies by Commandment of a Stranger shall shew the Place but otherwise as Servant And 6 Ed. 4. 10. taketh this Diversity That where one by way of Bar where he shall recover nothing doth plead a Release Acquittance vel hujusmodi there he shall need to shew no Place Nor where the Defendant doth Justify in a Replevin and doth not pray a Retorn But in another Avowry Declaration or Title otherwise there the Place is Traversable And so is 3 H. 7. 11. in a Retorn of Rescous And 3 Ed. 4. 27. He that pleadeth a Lease for Years shall set forth the Place Otherwise of an Estate for Life And 5 Ed. 4. 121. He that pleadeth a Payment upon an Obligation must plead a Place And 28 H. 8. Dyer 14. He that pleads the Birth of one by the Better Opinion shall not need to shew the Place where c. but it may be alledged after where it is shewed that he is in Life yet there holden That in Debt upon the Arrerages of an Annuity 35 H. 6. granted till he was Promoted to a Benefice and that he had taken a Wife there the Place where ought to be Specially alledged quod nota And in VVortley's Ejectione firmae in Plowden's Com. where the Plaintiff in his Count did Declare upon a Lease by divers Mean Conveyances holden there sufficient to shew where his own Lease was made and not where the Farmer or where the Parties died nor when and where the Prior was Elected c. And 10 H. 7. 18. where it is pleaded That the Testator had Goods in divers Dioceses moveable he ought to shew in what Place and what Goods that the Court may Adjudge if sufficient But 30 H. 6. 1. If the Plaintiff upon the Plea Ne unques Executor or Riens per Discent Reply That the Defendant did Administer as Executor or that he had Assets Enter mains or Assets by Discent he shall shew in what Place but not what Things or what

of the Plaintiffs Servants in one County by reason whereof he lost their Service in another County although it be so declared And by 9 H. 6. 62. in Trespass of Battery or Taking of Goods the Iury may find him Guilty in another Town in the same County Otherwise of Trespass Local But by 2 Ed. 3. 11. cannot Expresly find a Tender of Homage in another County And it appeareth 7 H. 6. Fitzh Abridgment Tit. Assize 359. that the Iury may Specially find a Condition annexed to a Feoffment according to Littleton But otherwise to a Release but may not find a Waranty because that cannot be without Deed. And in a Writ of Right the Iury may find a Release of Right but not a Collateral Waranty And so is 33 Ass. 11. touching a Feoffment upon Condition And so 28 Ass. 17. and 17 Ass. 20. of a Confirmation that doth Enlarge an Estate otherwise not But not a Release 16 Ass. 15. and 43 Ass. 41. A Feoffment given in Evidence the Iury in respect of the Livery are bound to find but may not take Conusance of a Release And by 21 Ass. 28. the Jury did find a Feoffment upon Condition not given in Evidence Then How the Jury may find a Matter of Record See first 3 H. 7. and 2. H. 4. That if a Iury find an Utlary or a Writ of Non Molestando or another Matter of Record the same is void Yet 28 Ass. 17. a Verdict found a Recovery c. And 26 Ass. 5. Verdict found a Fine not pleaded or given in Evidence sub pede sigilli whereof is a Mirum made in the Case by the Reporter And so the like the same Year Placito 3. upon a Recovery found by Verdict And 26 Ass. 2. The Verdict in an Assize found an Attainder and the Court there took it ill But touching this Learning see Newse's and Scholastica's Assize in Plowden's Commentaries where 't is said That a Note of a Fine or a Recovery without the Record it self Sub pede sigilli or the Number-Roll may be given in Evidence if the Jury will so accept of it Otherwise of Pleading the same And so holden without doubt upon the same Book 26 Ass. and other Books That the Iury may and in some Cases ought to find a Matter of Record which seems when given in Evidence Sub pede sigilli See more hereof in the Chap. of General Issue and Special Evidence antea Then How the Iury shall find a Spiritual Matter First see 21 H. 3. 9. where a Verdict in an Assize found That the Father of the Tenant had taken the Order of a Deacon and after Married the Defendants Mother c. And 8 Ass. 5. it was holden That the Jury in an Assize may find the Plaintiff or Defendant to be a Bastard but if it were Pleaded it shall be Tried by a Certificate from the Bishop And 29 Ass. 2. A Verdict in an Assize found a Divorce for that it is not a Matter of Record but a Matter in Fait quod nota Then it appears in Amy Townsends Case in Plowden's Commentaries That if the Jury or an Office find a Special Matter and Conclude contrary the Court shall not in their Judgment respect the Conclusion but the Special Matter found quod nota And so is 28 Ass. 17. But as appears 16 Ass. 15. if they find a Special Matter and Conclude according to the Law the Special Matter is waived And see 18 Eliz. Dyer 153. The Jury found Quod non Concessit prout Def. c. when it should be the Plaintiff and Assigned in Error Then In what Cases the Verdict varying from the Issue shall be good and where ill and for whom the same doth find For which see before in this Chapter of Verdicts in the Division of Special Verdict and in the Chapter of Issues where they find Part or another Day and the like And see the Titles Count or Declaration and Traverse as also the Cases ensuing viz. 36 H. 6. 2. In the Case of Nul tiel Record pleaded and a Recognizance upon Condition certified And 16 Ass. 19. it 's holden That upon the Issue Ne enfeoffa pas the Verdict may find a Conditional Feoffment And 30 Ed. 3. 5. the Defendant in Account did plead Pleinment Accompt devant A. B. and the Verdict found That he did Account before B. tantum and a good Verdict for the Defendant quod nota And 21 Ed. 4. 10. in Entry upon the Statute of Ric. 2. the Verdict upon the General Issue found him guilty of Entry only into two parts of the same and good accordingly And 10 H. 6. 13. in Debt against the Heir who pleaded Riens per Discent to which the Plaintiff Replied Assets in Dale and the Verdict found Assets in S and a good Verdict for the Place is not material And 1 Ass. 14. if one of the Defendants in an Assize be acquitted yet the Plaintiff shall have Judgment against the other and yet they Pleaded Joyntly to the Plaint Non Disseisiverunt See 2 Ed. 3. 49. Brook Tit. Verdict 20. If Executors plead Plene administraverunt and it be found That they did fully Administer to Ten shillings the Verdict doth pass against them and shall answer the whole Action Quaere inde And 7 H. 6. 33. the Issue was upon the Feoffment of A. and B. and the Verdict found That A. did only Enfeoff and by the Better Opinion found against him that doth plead the same Quaere inde And 40 Ed. 3. 35. If in Debt against Two who plead Non est factum it be found to be the Deed of one of them and not of the other yet the Plaintiff shall Recover And see 28 29 H. 8. Dyer 32. where one Declared in Debt upon a Lease of Twenty Acres To which the Defendant pleaded That the Plaintiff Lett the same Twenty Acres and Four Acres over sans ceo que il demise les 20 Acres tantum whereupon they were at Issue and the Verdict found the Demise only of 21 Acres and great Doubt was for whom the Verdict was found or whether for neither of them and so a Ieofail And see Dyer 1 2 Mar. 115. in Debt upon an Obligation the Breach of the Condition was assign'd in Cutting down Twenty Oaks and Issue thereupon viz. Quod non succidit praedict as viginti Quercus nec earum aliquam And the Jury found that he Cut Twelve and the Plaintiff had Judgment And see 22 Eliz. Dyer 367. in an Information of Usury the Defendant did plead Quod non habuit aut acceptavit praedictas Octoginta libr as pro lacro c. and the Jury found Quod acceptavit quadraginta libras Et pro Resid ' Non Culpabilis which was there among other things assigned for Error and nothing else taken notice of And see 47 Ed. 3. 19.

which divers Grants and Renders were made and in the third Render all the Mannors Lands and Tenements were rendred to A. and B. and the Heirs of the Body of A. and in the fourth Render part of the Premisses were rendred to B. in Tail the Remainder to the Right Heirs of A. It was Resolved that the same was not Error First That the fourth Render as to that was contained in the third Render should be in the quality of a Charter which needs not such a precise Form as a Judgment Secondly That the Conusor should not assign that for Error because he gets an Estate by it and no man shall reverse any thing for Error unless he can shew that the Error is to his advantage So More Case 202. If an Infant levy a Fine and take an Estate by Render he may not have Error for this And see Mich. 31 Eliz. in B. R. Leon. Rep 1 Part 317. Pigot and Harrington's Case where Baron and Feme were Tenants for Life the Remainder in Fee to an Infant and they three levied a Fine and the Infant only brought Error to Reverse it It was Objected that they all Three ought to joyn in the Writ according to 29 Ed. 3. 14. But per Cur ' the Writ is well brought for the Error is not Assigned in the Record but without it in the person of the Infant and that is the Cause of Action for him and for no other and the Fine was reversed as to the Infant only Vide Cro's Iacobi 330. Point's Case and Bulstrode's 1 Part 206. Batts and Ienning's Case where Inspection of an Infant in Error to Reverse a Fine upon the day of Adjornment of the Term held good by all the Judges of England And see Mo. Case 701. That a Writ of Covenant Retornable before the Date is Error CHAP. XIV Of Appeals Indictments and Informations APPEAL according to Co. on Littleton Lib. 2. cap. 11. comes from the Latin word Appello to Call quia Appellans vocat Reum in Iudicium and is used in our Law for the private Accusation of a Murderer by a Person who had Interest in the Party murdered It is as much as Accusatio with the Civilians for as in their Law Cognizance of Criminal Causes is taken either upon Inquisition Denunciation or Accusation so it is in ours upon Indictment or Appeal Indictment comprehending both Inquisition and Denunciation Accusation or Appeal being a lawful Declaration of another man's Crime of Felony at least for tho' there be an Appeal of Mayhem yet that according to Bracton is but in a manner an Action of Trespass before a Competent Iudge by one who sets his Name to the Declaration and undertakes to prove it upon the Penalty that may ensue of the contrary Appeal by others is defined to be The violent pursuing of a Subject unto Death and is the most nice kind of Suit that is commenced at the Common Law for every small matter will quash the same if it be not freshly pursued and shall in divers respects be taken strictly in favorem vitae And Note That the Process in every Appeal is to bear Date the same day of the Retorn and if not it will be a Discontinuance of the Process Note also That the Omission of any word which is material in the Writ of Appeal will abate the same And it is to be Observed That the Process in an Appeal doth vary from all other Proceedings at the Common Law for there shall be no Amendment of a Writ of Appeal nor is the Discontinuance of it helped by any Statute Then Where an Appeal of Murder will not lie for the Heir For which see Mich. 33 H. 8. Dyer 50. The Statute of 31 H. 8. made it Treason for a Woman to Poison her Husband A Woman Poisoned her Husband Afterwards the Statute of 32 H. 8. Of General Pardon pardoned the Offence the Heir brought an Appeal of Murder And it was the Opinion of all the Justices that now an Appeal of Murder did lye for the Heir for that now Murder was turned into Treason and the greater Offence shall extinguish the lesser And see Co. Lib. 6. fo 13. in the Case of Pardons acc and 7 Eliz. Dyer 235. where Petty Treason is pardoned by a General Pardon there one who killed his Master was Indicted of Murder and holden the Indictment did not lye against him but being found Guilty was Reprieved And see Mich. 33 H. 8. Dyer 51. and 33 Eliz Co. Lib. 4. 45. where an Appeal of Murder was brought against W. to Answer to A. B. alias dict' A. B. Fratri haered ' of the Person murthered but because the Plaintiff in the Appeal was named Brother and Heir in the Alias dictus which is no part of the Name the Appeal did Abate and the Defendant discharged by the Court. And see 5 Ed. 6. Dyer 69. where there were three Brothers and the Middle Brother is killed and the Eldest Brother dies within the Year without bringing any Appeal and the Question was If the Younger Brother might maintain an Appeal It was not Resolved but left a Quaere See 11 Ed. 4. 11. Stamf. 59. 20 H. 6. 43. by Fortescue that he shall not but 16 H. 7. 15. contra Then How Appeals shall be brought by Infants First See Pasch. 17 Ed. 4. Pl. 4. and More Case 646. where an Appeal was brought by an Infant and the Defendant prayed to be dismissed because the Plaintiff was an Infant Per Cur ' If the Defendant be guilty he shall stay in Ward till the Infant comes of Age. But by 27 H. 8. 1. b. the Plaintiff now shall appear by Guardian By Co. 2 Inst. 5. If an Infant bring an Appeal of the Death of his Ancestor the Parol shall not demur for want of Battail but the Infant shall be outed of it as if the Appellor were Old or Maimed But Mirror of Iustices 127. contra the Parol shall demur And see 2 Ed. 4. 19. b. and 20. a. acc and 11 H. 4. 93. a. And Pasch. 27 H. 8. 25. an Infant brought an Appeal of Murder in the time of H. 8. and prayed that the Parol might demur and Resolved it should not By 35 H. 6. 10. If an Infant be found guilty of Felony 't is in the discretion of the Court to give Judgment or not as they find the Infant hath Discretion or Malicious Intent By Owen 59 63. and Popham 115. in an Appeal of Murder after Pleading to the Writ the Defendant must Plead over to the Felony else it is a Confession of it for there his Life is in question And see 3 Cro. 223 224. where in an Appeal of the Death of an Husband the Defendant pleads Ne unques accouple c. and quoad c. Not Guilty The Plaintiff Replies fueront accouple but pleads nothing to the rest yet it seems the Plea is not Discontinued because the first Plea is not Triable at Common Law so answers
