WAste was brought by Tindall Knight against Jeoffery Cobbe Esquire and the Plaintiff declared of a Demise of the moyety of the Mannor of Wolverton and of the moyety of a Wood called Wolverton-Wood The Defendant pleaded That Robert Winckfield before the Waste supposed was seised of and in tertia parte alterius Medietatis of the said Mannor and of and in tertia parte alterius Medietatis of the aforesaid Wood and held the same insimul pro indiviso with the Plaintiff and that the said Robert Winckfield by his Deed sold to the Defendant omnes omnimodas arbores subboscos suos crescent in praedict tertia parte alterius medietatis praedicti bosci ad libitum ipsius Galfridi succidend and so justified the cutting down of 300 Oaks in which the Waste is assigned with this that he will aver That the aforesaid 300 Oaks were the third part only in numero precio medietatis omnium arbor subboscorum at the said time when the Waste is supposed to be done and demanded Iudgment if Action And divers Exceptions were taken to the Count 1. He sheweth Vaugh. Rep. 175. that the Demise of the moyety of the Mannor was per nomen c. and doth not shew that the demise was by writing and if not then he cannot plead it by a per Nomen 2. The Waste is assigned in digging of Clay in 100 Acres of Lands parcel Medietatis Maner de Wolverton and hath not shewed in what Town the Land is For he hath shewed before the Demise of the moyety of the Mannor of Wolverton in Wolverton 3. He shews the Demise of the moyety of the Mannor of Wolverton and of other Lands and assigns the Waste in cutting down Oaks in quodam bosco vocat Wolverton Wood parcel praemissorum and that cannot be for this Wood cannot be parcel of the Mannor of Wolverton and of the other Lands also And for these Causes the Count by the whole Court was holden to be insufficient XXIV Stamfords Case 7 Eliz. Dyer In the Common Pleas HUgh Stamford seised in Fee had Issue A. his eldest Son and B. his younger Son A. had Issue George and Elizabeth by divers Women Hugh made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of George in tail and afterwards to the use of A. in tail and afterwards to the use of the right Heirs of Hugh Hugh dieth A. dieth George levieth a Fine to the use of himself in tail the remainder over to B. in Fee and dyeth without Issue It was holden by Bendloes Carell Kelloway both the Bromleys and Kingsmill That Elizabeth is barred by this Fine by the Statute of 4 H. 7. 32 H. 8. XXV 7 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was this Grandfather Father and Son Lands are given to the Grandfather for life the remainder to the Son in tail The Grandfather and Father joyn in a Feoffment with warranty The Feoffee makes a Lease for years and afterwards conveys the Land to the Grandfather for life the remainder to the Father in Fee The Grandfather and Father die The Son entreth and puts out the Lessee Weston was of Opinion That the Entry of the Son was lawful for it was the Feoffment of the Grandfather and the Confirmation of the Father and the Warranty of the Grandfather collateral to the Father and his Estate but when the Land is re-assured as above is said and afterwards the Son entreth after the death of the Grandfather and Father now he is remitted and the warranty gone by taking back the Estate and the Son is now seised of as high an Estate as his Ancestor was at the time that he departed with the Land by which the warranty is determined Dyer contrary Here had not been any discontinuance if the warranty had not been for the Father was never seised by force of the entail And I conceive that against a warranty collateral one cannot be remitted for it binds the Right as a Fine with Proclamation after the Statute of 4 H. 7. And I conceive that during the possession of the Grandfather the Warranty is but suspended and not determined and although that by the death of the Grandfather it be determined yet having respect to the Lessee it is in being for his Estate is derived out of the Estate which was warranted and which descends with the Warranty Bendloes One cannot make Title by a Collateral Warranty only c. XXVI Simonds Case 8 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Formedom the Tenant vouched Rose Simonds as Daughter and Heir of Henry Simonds Clerk and because she was within age he prayed that the Parol might demur Bendloes recited the Case to be this A Fine was levied of the Lands to Henry Simonds upon Condition c. who rendred back the Land to the Conusor by the same Fine and that the said Henry Simonds never had any possession or seisin but that which he had mean between the Conusans and the Rendee of which possession the Wife should not be endowed And therefore it is a good Counter-plea to say That the said Rose nor any of her Ancestors c. for that was not such a Seisin upon which Warranty might rise and so if a Feoffment in Fee had been made to the said Henry Simonds to the use of another And of that Opinion was Dyer Iustice for Henry Simonds had not any possession by force of which he might be vouched Welsh contrary For the Fine imports in it self that he hath a Fee and that he hath granted and rendred the same Fee and this Fine amounts to a Feoffment Dyer said to Bendloes The best way for you is to plead the Counter-plea generally and if he estop you by the Fine to demur upon it Afterwards Bendloes moved another matter viz. Henry Simonds was a Priest and therefore Rose is a Bastard and if so then she cannot be vouched as Heir But I would not trust the Bishop to Certifie the Bastardy if I should plead it generally and therefore I will plead the special matter and so it shall be tryed by the Country Dyer and Welsh So you may do if you please and yet if you plead general Bastardy it shall be tryed by the Country for Rose is not a party to the Writ and in such case Bastardy shall be tryed by the Country XXVII Mich. 8
Pawnage of the Park of H. grants all his Goods and Chattels moveables and immoveables within the said Park It was holden by Weston and Dyer Iustices That the Lease of the Pawnage passeth by these words And it was said by Dyer If a Man hath a Lease for years of a House and grants all his Goods and Chattels being in the same House that as well the Lease of the House as the Goods within it pass by such a Grant. XLVII Pasch 14 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. NOte It was said by Weston and Bendloes That a Retraxit cannot be before a Declaration which Leonard and Filmer Prothonotaries granted And Dyer said That it being before a Declaration it is but a Nonsuit and Wheatley and Filmer affirmed the same and therefore it was adjudged That such a Retraxit in the Court of Hustings before the Sheriff is no Plea in Bar.

TThomas Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury having a Reversion in Fee of certain Lands upon a Lease for years granted the Reversion to the use of the Grantor himself for his life and after his decease to the use of the Executors and Assignees of the Grantor for 20 years next after the death of the Grantor and after to the use of Thomas his Son in tail and afterwards to the use of the Grantor in Fee The Grantor is attainted of Treason and the Queen gave the said Term of 20 years to the Wife of the Grantor who took to Husband Ed. White-Church who let the Land to A. Thomas the Son entred and leased the same Land to one Kirk who upon an Ouster brought Ejectione Firmae This Case was Argued by the Iustices Manwood the puisne Iustice conceived That the Plaintiff ought to be barred and that the Lessee of White-Church who claimed by the grant of the Queen the said Term of 20 years ought to hold the Land against the Son of the Grantor For the remainder limited to the Son is not yet begun in possession And he insisted much in his Argument upon this point That Vses limited upon any Conveyance are governed and directed according to the Rules of the Common Law As if a Feoffment in Fee be made unto the use of another for life the remainder to the use of the Lessee for life and the Heirs of his body c. now the party hath an estate tail executed in possession and that is according to the Rule of the Common Law. And he cited the Case of 40 E. 3. 20. Where Land was given by Fine to A.B. and C. and to the Heirs of the body of C. and for default of such Issue the remainder to the right Heirs of A. C. died without Issue B. dyed and afterwards A. died his Heir brought a Scire facias out of the said Fine And by Iudgment of the Court the Scire facias did not lie for the Fee was vested in the Father of the Demandant although that ex vi verbi the remainder was limited not to the Father but to his Heirs But where Vses are limited in other manner than according to the Rules of the Common Law there they shall not be ruled and governed by the Rules of the Common Law As if Lands be given to the use of one for life and to the use of such Lessees to whom the Tenant for life shall demise the same for years or life rendring Rent the remainder over to a stranger in tail and afterwards the Tenant for life makes a Lease for years or life and dieth such a Lease shall bind him in the remainder although that the Lessor had not but for life and be now dead for the Vse limited here to the Lessees which would be was limited contrary to the Rules of the Common Law. For by the Common Law such Leases made by Tenant for life are determined by his death And in this Case This Lease for 20 years after the death of the Grantor was limited according to the Rules of the Common Law and therefore it shall take effect accordingly as if it had passed in possession and not in use as if the Conveyance had been of the Land it self and that Land had been granted to the Grantor for 20 years after his death that Interest had been vested in him to sell forfeit or otherwise to dispose at his pleasure and shall not accrue to the Executors as a purchase 19 E. 2. Fitz. Covenant 25. Land was Leased to one for life and after his decease to his Executors and Assigns for 10 years the Lessee assigned the Term And by Herle it is a good Assignment For it is in the Election of the Lessee to Devise that Interest or to assign it in his life-time And see 39 E. 3. 25. A Lease was made to one for life and a year over 17 E. 3. 29. Lessee for life so as after his death the Land remain to his Executors for 8 years Lessee for life died He who had the Freehold of the Land was impleaded who rendred the Land and the Executors of the Lessee for life prayed to be received scil where as Executors do hold the Term which proves that they had the Term as Executors to the use of the Testator and so Assets therefore the same was before in the Lessee for life But by Dyer in his Argument That Case doth not prove it and certainâ—y it is not Assets For although the Executor have the same Term by purchase yet they have it as Executors for that is a good name of purchase which Harper concessit And Manwood argued further and he Cited 19 E. 3. Fitz. Covenant 24. Land was let for life and if the Lessee died within 12 years that his Executors should hold the same until the end of the 12 years The Lessee for life died and the Executors entred and the Executors of the Lessee for life brought Actions of Covenant which proved that the Executors had the Term as a Chatel vested in the Testator and not in their own Rights as Purchasors by the name of Executors See 22 Ass 37.

Land was leased to one for life and if the Lessee died within the Term of 20 years that his Executors or Assigns should have it until the end of the said 20 years and a Quid juris clamat was brought against the Lessee for life without any mention of any other Estate To which the Defendant pleaded the special matter and demanded Iudgment upon that Fine if he should be driven to Attorn where he is supposed Tenant for life only And it is there said That that special matter is but a Protestation to save the Term to his Executors And upon such a Fine such Tenant hath been driven to Attorn And by Dyer If the Lessee doth not make such protestation yet his special interest is not impaired by it yet it is but reason that it be entred for the more manifestation of it 32 E. 3. Quid juris clamat 5. A Lease to W. for life and 20 years over he may grant the same Term or any part of it And he cited the Case between Parker and Gravenor 3. 4 Mar. Dyer 150. Where a Lease for life was made and by the Indenture of Lease Provisum fuit That if the Lessee died within the Term of 60 years that then his Executors and Assigns should have and enjoy the said Lands pro termino totidem annorum which did amount to the number of 60 years to be accompted from the date of the Indenture And it was the Opinion of the Court That that was not any Lease But they all agreed That a Lease for years in remainder might be upon a Lease for life in the same person See 40 E. 3. A Lease was made for life and half a year after the Lessee died and Waste is brought against the Executors supposing that the Testator held for years and the Writ was holden good And there it is said by Kirton That the Executors could not have that Term unless it were in the Testator and there the Term is not limited to any person And see 11 H. 4. 187. Annuity granted to one for life and 20 years after And 50 E. Ass 1. A Lease for life and 3 years over to his Executors And then here in our Case This Vse being limited in Order according to the Rules of the Common Law shall vest in the Grantor to give or forfeit and then by the Attainder it was forfeited to Queen Mary and if so then the Plaintiff shall be barred Harper Iustice to the contrary And that the Interest in the Remainder for years limited to the Executors and Assigns of the Grantor is in abeyance and not in the Grantor and then it cannot be forfeited But if this Vse had been limited to the Grantor himself then all had been in him to give c. But here in our Case the Remainder for years is limited and appointed to the Executors c. Also Vses shall not be ruled in such manner as Lands but the Law shall rule the possession obtained by use in another manner than the possession obtained by the Order of the Common Law As in the Case of Amy Townsend Plow Com. 111 112. Where the Husband seised in the right of his Wife made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself and his Wife for life with divers remainders over Now is not the Wife remitted as she should be by Conveyance at Common La as if the Husband discontinueth the Land in the right of his Wife and the Discontinuee giveth the Lands to the Husband and Wife and to a third person she is remitted to the whole and the third person hath not any thing Dyer to the same intent And here we ought to intend and consider That it was the purpose of Cranmer to advance his Executors with this Term unto their own use and benefit and not to leave the same in himself And I do conceive That the use is in abeyance until the Executors are made or an Assignee appointed for he may make an Assignee who shall have the Term For Assignee may be made two ways 1 By grant of an Estate which is in the Grantor before 2 A person nominated and appointed by another to take any thing c. And it shall be also intended That Cranmer was purposed to make other Provision to leave to his Executors Assets to perform his Will and not that that Term should be applyed to that purpose for then he would have shewed it in the Conveyance by words scil as to pay his Legacies and perform his last Will And the Cases put by my Brother Manwood do not go to the Point For I agree Where Lands are given to one for life the remainder for years and doth not say to whom it cannot be intended to any other but to the Lessee for life or otherwise it shall be void And also where Land is given to one for life and for two years after to his Executors or Assigns or Heirs all is in the Lessee for all is as one gift But where it is given to one for life and after his death the remainder to his Executors I do not see any reason that that remainder should be any Assets in the hands of the Executors Or that if the Lessee dieth Intestate that his Administrator should have it and therefore the Executors shall have the same as a purchase But Cranmer might have given the same or appointed one in the mean time to receive it and in the mean time it shall be in abeyance Also if Lands be Leased to B. for life the remainder for years to his Heirs the same remainder for years is in abeyance until the death of the Lessee and then it shall vest in the Heir as a Purchasor and as a Chattel and shall go to the Executor of the Heir c. and the Tenant for life cannot meddle with it for it is not in him Also Vses shall not be raised as Lands i. e at the Common Law but shall be raised by the Statute and as Vses were raised in the Chancery before the Statute And therefore if this Conveyance had been before the Statute he could not have compelled the Feoffees to dispose of that Interest at his pleasure c. And then Cranmer the Son shall have the Land by force of the entail limited unto him For the Estate for years is gone because no assignment of it is made nor any Executors who can take it and the Estate for life is determined by the death of Cranmer and the Feoffee to an Vse cannot have it for there is not any Consideration whereof he should have any Vse for by the Limitation nothing was left in the Feoffee And so I conceive that the Plaintiff shall recover

IN an Accompt by Tottenham against Bedingfield who pleaded That he never was his Bailiff to render accompt the Case was That the Plaintiff was possessed of a Parsonage for Term of years and the Defendant not having any Interest nor claiming any Title in them took the Tythes being set forth and severed from the 9 parts and carried them away and sold them Vpon which the Plaintiff brought an Action of Accompt And by Manwood Iustice the Action doth not lie for here is not any privity for wrongs are always done without privity And yet I do agree That if one doth receive my Rents I may implead him in a Writ of Accompt and then by the bringing of my Action there is privity and although he hath received my Rent yet he hath not done any wrong to me for that it is not my Mony until it be paid unto me or unto another for my use and by my Commandment and therefore notwithstanding such his Receipt I may resort to the Tenant of the Land who ought to pay unto me the said Rent and compel him to pay it to me again and so in such case where no wrong is done unto me Hob. 32â— I may make a privity by my consent to have a Writ of Accompt But if one disseiseth me of my Land and taketh the profits thereof upon that no Action of Accompt lieth for it is meerly a wrong And in the principal case so soon as the Tythes were severed by the Parishioners there they were presently in the Plaintiff and therefore the Defendant by the taking of them was a wrong doer and no Action of Accompt for the same lieth against him And upon the like reason was the Case of Monox of London lately adjudged which was That one devised Land to another 1 Len. 266. and died and the Devisee entred and held the Land devised for the space of 20 years and afterwards for a certain cause the Devise was adjudged void and for that he to whom the Land descended brought an Action of Accompt against the Devisee And it was adjudged That the Action did not lie Harper contrary For here the Plaintiff may charge the Defendant as his Proctor and it shall be no Plea for the Defendant to say That he was not his Proctor no more than in an Accompt against one who holdeth as Gardian in Socage it is no plea for him to say that he is not Prochein Amy to the Plaintiff Dyer The Action doth not lie If an Accompt be brought against one as Receiver he ought to be charged with the Receipt of the Mony and an Accompt doth not lie where the party pretends to be Owner as against an Abater or Disseisor but if one claimeth as Bailiff he shall be charged and so it is of Gardian in Socage Latch 8. And it was agreed That if a Disseisor assign another to receive the Rents that the Disseisee cannot have an Accompt against such a Receivor LI. 15 Eliz. In the Court of Wards NOte That this Case was ruled in the Court of Wards That where Tenant of the King of Lands holden by Knights Service in chief made a Feoffment in Fee of the same Lands to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of his younger Son in tail the remainder to the right Heirs of the Feoffor and died his eldest Son within age That the Queen should have the Wardship of his body and of the third part of the Land and when the eldest Son comes of full age that the younger Son should sue Livery and pay Primer Seisin according to the rate and value of the whole Land viz. of the third part as in possession and of the two parts as a Reversioner For the remainder to the right Heirs of the Feoffee is in truth a Reversion for the Fee simple was never out of him because there is not any consideration as to that nor any Vse expressed And because Livery shall not be sued by parcels the younger Son shall not be suffered to sue Livery of the third part presently and respite the residue as to the two parts in Reversion until the Reversion fall but he shall sue Livery presently as well of the two parts in reversion as of the third part in possession and if the eldest Son had been of full age at the time of the death of his Father the younger Son should pay Primer Seisin as to the third part the whole value of it for one year as in possession and as to the two parts the moiety of the value of a year as of a Reversion LII Oliver Breers Case 15 Eliz.

In the Kings Bench. NOte 1 Roll. 626 This Case was moved to the Iustices in the Court of the Kings Bench A Man had Issue two Daughters by divers Women and being seised of Lands in Fee he made his Will and by the same Devised That his Wife should have the moyety of his Lands for years and that his eldest Daughter at the day of her Marriage should enter into the other moyety his eldest Daughter married and died without Issue And the Question was Whether her Vncle should have that moyety or the fourth part of the whole Land. Catline conceived and said That when the Devise which was made to the eldest Daughter that she might enter after certain years is not the Inheritance in her presently and the other words void So he said here That it is not a purchase in the eldest Daughter but both the Daughters should enter in Common as one Heir to their Father until the Marriage and then the Inheritance which was once settled in them should not be removed Southcote Iustice said There are no words of Limitation of any Estate that the Daughter should have after the Marriage and therefore the Devise was void and if he had limited that the Daughter after Marriage should have it for life the Fee-simple is vested in her before and then she cannot have it for life And he said That if a Lease be made to the eldest Daughter for years by the Father and afterwards
the Land descends to her and her Sister as unto one moyety of the Land the Lease is determined but not as to the other moyety Whiddon Iustice Where a Devise is for the benefit of a stranger there the Heir shall take by the Devise and not by descent As if a Lease be made for years the remainder to the Heir there the Heir shall take the Land by the Devise Catline She hath it be Descent and not by the Devise But if he deviseth the Land to the Heir in tail with this That he shall pay a certain sum of Mony unto another there the Heir shall take by the Devise for the benefit which may accrue to the stranger and not by descent for otherwise the Will should not be performed But where the Estate of the Heir is altered by the Will nor any benefit doth accrue unto another after that the Lands come to the hands of the Heir in that case he shall have the Land by descent And so here in this case for as much as the Devise is That the Daughter shall enter they both being but one Heir to their Father shall have the Land by descent and the words of the Will That he shall enter into the moiety shall be void as if the Devise had been to the Heir for life there the same is void because the Fee-simple which descendeth to her doth drown the particular estate for life And therefore in the principal case here the Vncle shall have but the moyety of the moyety which is so devised and the other Sister shall have the other moyety of the Land and as to that moyety which is devised to the Wife for years the same shall enure according to the Common Law that the Vncle shall have the moyety of that and the other Sister the other moyety LIV. Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THis Case was moved to the Court by Lovelace Serjeant A Man Covenants with another to make and execute an estate of such Lands as should descend to him from his Father and Grandfather by a certain day the same Lands to be of the clear yearly value of 40 Marks And the Question which he moved to the Iustices was That if the party had more Lands which came to him from his Grandfather and Father than did amount to the yearly value of 40 Marks If he was to make assurance of all the Lands or of so much thereof only as amounted to the value of 40 Marks And Manwood Iustice conceived That he should make assurance of Lands only which were of the value of 40 Marks per annum For the words such which do not go so largely as if he had said All my Lands which shall descend or to me be descended for then the yearly value were but a demonstration and all his Lands ought to be assured But here the Intent of the Indenture cannot be taken otherwise than to have but an Assurance of so much Land as if he had said Of such Lands and Tenements as were my Grandfathers and Fathers amounting to 40 Marks by the year for there by those words he shall have but 40 Marks by the year Lovelace It hath been taken That where the Queen made a Lease of all her Lands in such a Town amounting to the yearly value of 40 l. that that valuation is not a demonstration and shall not abridge the Grant precedent to have all in the Town which should be of the value of 40 l. but her Grant shall be taken and construed according to the words precedent Manwood The Common case of assurance upon a settlement of Marriage is That he shall stand seised of so much of his Land as shall be of the clear yearly value of 40 Marks If the marriage take effect The Question hath been If they to whom the assurance is made may enter into any part of the Land at their election and take that which is the best Land to the value of 40 Marks per annum and hold the same in severalty or if they shall be only Tenants in Common with the other And also it hath been a Question Whether they may choose one Acre in one place and another Acre in another place and so through the whole Land where they please because the Grant shall be taken strong against him that granteth But I conceive that it should be a hard case to make such Election of Acres But it was said by some Serjeant at the Bar That if a Man granteth to another to take 20 Trees in his Lands that the Grantee may cut down one Tree in one place and another in another place Manwood agreed that Case but of the other Case the Court doubted of it The principal case was adjourned LV. Vernon and Vernons Case Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas.

In the Common Pleas. THis Case was moved by Meade Serjeant to the Iustices of the Court of Common Pleas viz. That Sir Peter Philpot Knight seised in Fee of divers Mannors and Lands suffered a Recovery and made a Feoffment thereof unto divers persons To the use of himself for life the remainder to his right Heirs And after the Statute of 32 H. 8. of Wills He devised all his said Mannors and Land to his Wife for life and it was expressed in his Will That he could not devise all his Lands by reason of the Statute of 32 H. 8. that his Will was That his Wife should have so much which might be devised by the Laws of the Land And there was another Clause in the said Will That his Feoffees should stand seised of the same Mannors and Lands after the death of his Wife To the use of one Hurlock and others for years for the payment of his Debts and for the raising of Portions for the preferment of his Daughters in Marriage And further by his said Will he willed That if the Law would not bear it That Hurlock and the others should have the Interest Then he
Wife the Executrix should be charged for the not Reparations as well in the time of her Husband as in her own time And if she do make the Reparation depending the Suit yet thereby the Suit shall not abate but it shall be a good cause to qualifie the damages according to that which may be supposed that the party is damnified for the not repairing from the time of the purchase of the Reversion unto the time of the bringing of the Action And it was said by Manwood That by the Recovery of the damages that the Lessee should be excused for ever after for making of Reparations so as if he suffer the Houses for want of Reparations to decay that no Action shall thereupon after be brought for the same but that the Covenant is extinct LXXIII Easter Term. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. LOvelace moved the Court that in the Kings Bench this case was argued upon a Demurrer there A Feoffment was made by one Coxley who took back an Estate for life the remainder to him who should be his Heir at the time of his death and to the Heirs males of his body begotten And afterwards the Tenant for life after the Statute of 32 H. 8. suffered a Recovery to be had against him that that Recovery was good as it was at the Common Law Because the Statute doth not speak but that it shall not be a bar to him who hath the Reversion at the time of the Recovery but this remainder was in Abeyance until the death of the Tenant for life and that in the same Court it was adjudged accordingly in an Ejectione firmae and because the same was a discontinuance the Plaintiff had here brought his Formedon in the Remainder and therefore Lovelace prayed That they might proceed without delays because the Plaintiffs Title appeareth without Essoigns and feigned delays Which Dyer Iustice conceived to be a reasonable request and that it should be well so to do because as he said This Court is debased and lessened and the Kings Bench doth encrease with such Actions which should be sued here for the speed which is there And he said That the delays here were a discredit to the Court so as all Actions almost which do concern the Realty are determined in the Kings Bench in Writs of Ejectione firmae where the Iudgment is Quod recuperet terminum and by that they are put into possession and by such means no Action is in effect brought here but such Actions as cannot be brought there as Formedons Writs of Dower c. to the Slander of the Court and to the Detriment and Loss of the Serjeants at the Bar.

Plaintiff had acquitted and discharged him of the Reparations Vpon which the Plaintiff demurred in Law.

Gardiner was seised in Fee according to the Custom of the Mannor of C. of certain Lands and surrendred them to the use of his last Will by which he Devised them in this manner scil I Bequeath to Jo. Th. my House and Lands in M. called Lacks and Stone To Ste. Th. my House and Lands called Stokes and Newmans And to Roger Th. my House and Lands called Lakins and Brox. Moreover If the said Jo. Ste. or Roger live till they be of lawful age and have Issue of their bodies lawfully begotten Then I give the said Houses and Lands to them and their heirs in manner aforesaid to give and sell at their pleasure But if it fortune one of them to die without Issue of his body lawfully begotten Then I will that the other Brothers or Brother have all the said Houses and Lands in manner aforesaid And if it fortune the Three to die without Issue in like manner Then I Will That all the said Houses and Lands be sold by my Executor or his Assignee and the Mony to be given to the Poor The Devisor dieth Jo. Ste. and Roger are admitted according to the intent of the Will Roger dieth within age without Issue John and Ste. are admitted to his part John comes of full age and hath Issue J. and surrenders his part of the whole and his estate therein to the use of Ste. and his Heirs who is admitted accordingly Ste. comes of full age John the Father dieth Ste. dieth without Issue J. the Son as Cosen and Heir of Ste. is admitted according to the Will and afterwards dieth without Issue The Wives of the Plaintiffs are Heirs to him and are admitted to the Lands called Lacks and Stone and to the moyety of the Lands called Lakins and Brox parcel of the place where c. praetextu quorum they enter into all the Lands where the Trespass is done And it was found that A. the Executor died Intestate And that Cawsen the Defendant is Cosen and Heir to the said Devisor and that he as Heir entred and did the Trespass First It was agreed by all That by the first words of the Will the 3. Devisees had but an Estate for life But Fenner and Walmesley who argued for the Plaintiffs Conceived That by force of the later words scil If the said John Stephen and Roger live till they be of lawful age and have Issue of their body lawfully begotten Then I give the said Lands and Houses to them and their Heirs in manner aforesaid c. They have Fee and the words In manner aforesaid are to be referred not unto the Estate which was given by the first words which was but for life but to make them hold in severalty as the first Devisor willed and not joyntly as the words of the second Devise purported And Fenner said It hath been Resolved by good Opinions That where a Fine was levied unto the use of the Conusor and his Wife and of the Heirs of the body of the Conusor with divers Remainders over Proviso That it shall be lawful to the Survivor of them to make Leases of the said Lands in such manner as Tenant in tail might do by the Statute of 32 H. 8. although those Lands were never Demised before the Fine yet the Survivor might demise them by force of the Proviso notwithstanding the words In manner c. So if Lands be given to A. for life upon Condition the Remainder to B. in manner aforesaid these words In manner aforesaid refer unto the Estate for life limited unto A. and not unto the Condition nor unto any other Collateral manner The words If they live until they be of full age and have Issue are words of Condition and shall not be construed to such purpose to give to them by Implication an estate tail For the words subsequent are That they shall have them to them and their Heirs to give and sell at their pleasure By which it appeareth That his intent was not to make an estate tail For Tenant in tail cannot alien or dispose of his estate c. And as unto the last words And if it fortune they three to die without Issue c. these words cannot make an estate tail and the express Limitation of the Fee in the first part of the Will shall not be controverted by Implication out of the words subsequent As if Lessee for 40 years Deviseth his Lands to his Wife for 20 years and if she dieth the remnant of the Term unto another although that she survive the 20 years she shall not hold over and here the second sale appointed to be made by the Executor shall not take away the power of the first sale allowed to the Devisee's after-Issue Snagg and Shuttleworth Serjeants to the contrary And they Conceived That the Defendant hath right to two parts for no express Inheritance vests in the Devisees until full age and issue and because two of the Devisees died without Issue they never had any Inheritance in their two parts and so those two parts descended to the Defendant as Heir to the Devisor no sale being made by the Executor These words If John Stephen and Roger are to be taken distributive viz. If John live c. are to be taken distributive If John live until c. he shall have the Inheritance in his part and so of the rest As if J. have right unto Land which A. B. and C. hold in Common and J. by a Deed release to them all the same shall enure to them severally 19 H. 6. And here these later words If these three do die without Issue by that they conceived The same to be but an estate in tail And see to that purpose 35 Ass 11. 37 Ass 15. For a Man cannot declare his intent at once but in several parts all which make but one sentence And so it is said by Persay 37 Ass 15. We ought to have regard upon the whole Deed and not upon parcel And see Clark's Case 11 Eliz. Dyer 330 331. And it was said If I give Lands to one and his Heirs so long as he hath Heirs of his body it is a Feesimple determinable and not an estate in tail Quaere of that Then here the Feesimple is determined by the death of the Devisees without issue and therefore the Land ought to revert to the Heir of the Devisor especially being no person in rerum natura who can sell for the Executor before sale by him made died Intestate and if he had made an Executor yet the Executor of the Executor could not sell Which see 19 H. 8 9 10. And afterwards Resolved That no estate tail is
no case where the party useth but the means of the Law by the Kings Writ without any Corruption or Covin of the party he shall be amerced only pro falso clamore and no Action lieth against him because he hath not used but the means of the Law. Which see 2 R. 3. 9. by all the Iustices But yet in an Appeal because it toucheth the life of a Man the Defendant shall have his damages against the Plaintiff but not in any other Action which is a vexation by suit if no Corporation or Covin be in the party who prosecutes such suit See such matter justifiable in Conspiracy 35 H. 6. 13 14.

The Defendant pleaded That the Custom of the Realm of England is That the Lord Admiral for the time being might grant the said Office and that such Grant should be good but for the life of the Grantor And further shewed 1 Len. 103. That the Lord Clynton Lord Admiral granted the said Office to the Plaintiff and the Defendant and died And that the Lord Howard was appointed Lord Admiral And that he 27 Eliz. granted the said Office to one Wade who put him out and interrupted him before which time the Defendant suffered the Plaintiff to enjoy the said Office and to take the profits of it Vpon which the Plaintiff demurred in Law. Cook argued for the Plaintiff That the Defendant's Plea was not good for he hath not entituled the Lord Admiral to grant the Office For he saith That the Custom of the Realm of England is which he hath pleaded in such manner as no Issue can be taken upon it for it is pleaded Quod usitatum est quod Admirals pro tempore existens Non potest Concedere Officium praedict nisi pro termino vitae suae and that cannot be for it cannot be tryed for the Venire facias cannot be Of the Realm of England Also if it be Through the whole Realm of England then the same is the Common Law and not Consuetudo Which see Br. Custom 39. And see 4 5 Mar. Dyer 152 153. An express case of this Office And there he prescribes in Consuetudine in Anglia c. And also that such Grant is good but during the life of the Admiral who granted it Also he doth not answer to any time of the Grant of the Admiral Howard For if he were lawfully put out by Wade yet the Defendant against his own Obligation cannot put us out or interrupt us As L. 5 E. 4. 115.

For there was not any remainder in him at the time of the Recovery had but the remainder then was in abeyance for then the Son was not born And the words of the said Statute are That such Recovery shall be void against such person to whom the Reversion or Remainder shall then appertain i. e. at the time of the Recovery And it was said That if Lands be given to E. for life the Remainder to B. in tail the Remainder to C. in fee B. dieth his Wife with Child with a Son A Recovery is had against E. with the assent of C. and afterwards the Son is born he shall not be helped by this Statute for that the Remainder was not in esse at the time of the Recovery But it was holden in the principal Case That the Heir might avoid this Recovery by the Common Law For the Recompence could not extend to such a Remainder which was not in esse CXCIV The Countess of Sussex and Wroth's Case Hill. 28 Eliz.

A Writ of Error was brought by Payn Treasurer of the Records in the Kings-Bench in the Exchequer-Chamber upon a Iudgment given in the Court of the Exchequer for the Queen upon an Assignment of a
laid in a person in such sort as it may be laid and therefore in this Case forasmuch as the seisin cannot be shewed by the hands of the Inhabitants it ought to be layed in the Lord. See 4 H. 6. 29.

Solvend annuatim at Michaelmas of which Rent the King and all the Dukes of Cornwal aforesaid had been seised time out of memory c. by the hands of the Inhabitants of the same Town c. and the same was holden a good Avowry For although that seisin ought to be laid in some person certain by his hands yet in that case it is good enough For the seisin by one of the Inhabitants is the seisin of them all And in the principal Case by Periam and Walmesley It was agreed That the seisin here was well enough confessed For when the Plaintiff hath taken Issue That they have used to distrain all other matters are holden confessed because that the Plaintiff hath not saved them to him by protestation Which Rhodes granted Another Exception was taken to the Avowry because that the Leet by it is supposed to be holden in July therefore void which see Magna Charta 35. But it was holden by Anderson Windham and Rhodes That by reason of this Prescription the Court is well holden in July notwithstanding the said Statute of Magna Charta and it might be holden at what day he pleased For his Liberty and Election is not restrained by the said Statute and such is the common experience And note the words of the same Statute Ita quod quilibet habeat Libertates suas quas habuit vel habere consuevit tempore Regis H. avi nostri c. vel quod postea perquisivit c. And Rhodes conceived That the said Statute is to be intended of Turns only and not of Leets Which see 24 H. 8. Br. Leet 23. in the end of the Case But by Periam A Leet cannot be holden but according to the said Statute for to that purpose was the said Statute made But if a Leet hath been time out of mind c. holden at any other day than that which is limited by the Statute it is a good prescription and it is saved by the Statute The Prescription is That he and all c. have used to hold a Leet once in a year and hath not shewed when the said year begins for it may be that a Leet hath been holden there in this year before July and then this is a void Leet and so no Leet-Fee due and of that Opinion was Periam viz. That the Avowant ought to have shewed the beginning and end of the year viz. That he held the said Leet pro uno anno finito such a day for it may be he hath holden two Leets in one year But it was said by the other Iustices That that shall come on the other side for prima facie it shall be intended that it hath been but once holden in the same year until the contrary be shewed And Note by Anderson and Rhodes If the King grants to one a Leet to hold semel quolibet anno without saying At the Liberty of the Grantee the Grant is good and the Grantee may hold it at what day he pleaseth CCXXXII Putnam and Cook 's Case Mich. 29 Eliz.

If I Devise my whole Land to J.S. he hath a Fee. And he conceived That the three had an Estate in tail with a Fee expectant each severally to the House limited to him Golding contrary Each of them hath an Estate tail in the House Devised to him and but an Estate for life expectant upon the death of the other without Issue for there are no words by which it might appear what Estate they shall have by the Survivor c. I grant the Case which Perkins denies but Littleton affirms scil A Devise of Lands to one in perpetuum for there the intent appeareth but where there are not words of Inheritance nor words amounting to so much then it shall be but an Estate for life And as to these words totam illam partem the same is all one as if he had Devised totam illam without partem Also he conceived That where one only survived no estate further vested for there ought to be two to take by the Survivorship for the words are aequaliter inter eos dividend And then if it cannot accrue by Survivor then it shall descend And if it had accrued by Survivor they should thereof have been Tenants in Common and not Ioynt-Tenants by reason of these words aequaliter dividend Clench Iustice The words totam illam partam go to the House and not to the Estate in it Shute to the same intent If both the Daughters had survived they should have Fee in the House of Robert but not by the Will but by descent in Coparcenery Also when two are dead the Son and one Daughter then it cannot be decided therefore the Will as to that is void and then the Common Law shall take place and put the Messuage to the Issue of one Daughter as to the Sister surviving Gawdy Iustice Here is but an Estate for life in the survivor It hath been Objected That then being but an Estate for life that Estate is drowned by the descent of the Feesimple so as now the Estate limited by the Will is void To which it may be answered That although now upon the matter it be void yet ab inition it
of Estate of Freehold c. But in our Case the Office is confessed by the Traverse to be true although that the conveyance be not truly found And also Harris at the time of the Office found had not just title but his Interest came to him long time after the Office found Also the traverse is not good for he traverseth the matter of the Conveyance which is not traversable For if the Queen hath title non refert quo modo or by what Conveyance she hath it As to the matter in Law Tenant in tail in remainder is Attainted of Felony If the King during the life of the Tenant in tail shall have the Freehold And he conceived she should For it shall not be in abeyance and it cannot be in any other for when he is attainted he is dead as unto the King The chief Lord cannot have it For the Tenant for life is alive and also he in the remainder in Fee c. The Donor shall not have it for the Tenant is not naturally dead but civilly and the Land cannot revert before the Tenant in tail be naturally dead without Issue But if there were any other in whom the Freehold could vest then the King should not have the Freehold but only the profits So if the Tenant be attainted the Lord shall have the Land presently 3 E. 3. 4 E. 3. The Husband seised in the right of his Wife is attainted of Felony the King shall have but the profits because that the Freehold rests in the Wife and if the Lord entreth the Wife shall have an Assise And Tenant in tail may forfeit for his life as he may grant during his life See Old N.B. 99. If Tenant in tail for Life Dower or by the Curtesie be attaint of Felony the King shall have the Land during their lives and after their decease he in the Reversion shall sue to the King by Petition and shall have the Lands out of the Kings hands And there it is further said That the Lord by Escheat cannot have it for the party attainted was not his very Tenant but he in the Reversion for the term yet endures But now is to see If the Freehold be in the King without Office And I conceive that it is Where the King is entituled to an Action there the King ought to have an Office and a Scire facias upon it As where the King is entituled to a Cessavit Action of Waste c. 14 H. 7. 12. Where entry in the Case of a Common person is necessary there behoves to be an Office for the King. As where the Kings Villain purchaseth Lands or an Alien born c. so is it for a Condition broken Mortmain c. In some Cases an Office is only necessary to instruct the King how he shall charge the Officer for the profits which may be supplyed as well by Survey as by Office As if the King be to take by descent or as the Case is here And it is true That a person attainted of Felony may during his Attainder purchase Lands and yet he cannot keep it against the King. And it is clear That by the Common Law in such Cases the Land was in the King but not to grant For the Statute of 18 H. 6. was an Impediment to that But now that defect is supplyed by the Statute of 33 H. 8. So as now the King may grant without Office. See 26 Eliz. Cook 3 Part Dowty's Case And in our Case Office is not necessary to entitle the King but to explain his Title See 9 H 7. 2. The Lands of a Man attainted of High Treason are in the King without Office so where the Kings Tenant dieth without Heir or Tenant in tail of the gift of the King dieth without Issue See Br. Office before the Escheator 34. See 13 H. 4. 278. A Man Attainted of Treason the King before Office grants his Lands and Goods Things which lie in Grant as Advowsons Rents c. such things upon Attainder are in the King without Office. As to the General Pardon of 23 Eliz. He conceived That the same did not extend to this Case and that this Interest of the Queen by this Attainder did not pass by the Pardon out of the Queen So if the Queen had but a Right and title only Popham Attorny General By this Attainder the Estate of him in the Remainder in tail accrued to the Queen for the life of him in the Remainder For by our Law Felony is punished by the death of the Offendor and the loss of his Goods and Lands for the example of others therefore nothing is left in him Tenant for life is attainted of Felony The King pardons to him his life yet he shall have his Lands during his life for he himself cannot dispose of them for his life And so it is of Tenant in tail c. for he may forfeit all that which he hath and that is an Estate for his life which is the Freehold If Lands be given to one and his Heirs for the life of another and the Donee be attainted of Felony the King shall have the Land during the life of Cestuy que vie for the Heir cannot have it because the blood is corrupt and there is not any Occupancy in the Case For 17 E. 3. the Iustices would not accept a Fine of Lands for the life of another because an Occupant might be in the Case But for a Fine of Lands to one and his He is for the life of another they accepted a Fine for there is no mischief of Occupancy Land is given to A. for life the remainder to B. for life the remainder to the right Heirs of A. who is attainted of Felony A. dieth now the King hath a Fee executed And here in our Case If this Tenant for life had been dead no Praecipe would lie against him in the remainder being in possession but the party who had right was to sue to the King by Petition 4 E. 3. If one seised in the right of his Wife of Lands for life be attainted the King shall have exitus proficua But I conceive that Case is not Law For see F.N.B. 254. D. The Husband seised in the right of his Wife in Fee is Outlawed of Felony the King seiseth the Husband dieth Now shall issue forth a Diem Clausit extremum the words of which Writ are in such case Quia A. cujus terra Tenement quae ipse tenuit de jure haereditate N. uxoris suae adhuc superstites occasione cujusdam utlagariae in ipsum pro quadam felonia inde indictatus fuit c. in manu Domini H. Patris nostri extiterunt c. therefore the King hath not exitus tantum but also the Land it self See to the same purpose the Register 292. b. And see also now in the Book of Pleas of the Crown 186 187. which affirmeth That Tenant in tail being attainted of Felony shall forfeit the
to prevent all acts and charges made mean by the Vendor yet it shall not relate to vest the Estate from the time of the delivery of the Deed For the Vendee cannot punish a Trespass Mean And if the Vendee hath a Wife and the Vendee dieth before Enrollment and afterwards the Deed is enrolled she shall not be endowed but here shall be some descent to take away an Entry yet the Heir shall have his age But in our Case it is otherwise for by the Waiver the Ioynture was waived ab initio And he cited Carrs Case 29 Eliz. in the Court of Wards The King granted the Mannor of C. to George Owen in Fee tenend in Socage and rendring 94 l. per annum And afterwards granted 54 l. parcel of the said Rent to the Earl of Huntington in Fee to be holden by Knight-service in Capite and afterwards purchased the said Rent in Fee And afterwards of the same Mannor enfeoffed William Carr who devised the same for the payment of his Debts And it was holden That the devise was good against the Heir And the King was not entituled to Livery or Primer Seisin And therefore the Defendant was dismissed But peradventure the Queen shall have benefit of the Act. See Cook 3 Part 30 31. Butler and Baker's Case The King gives Lands unto A. in Fee to hold by Knights-service during his life and afterwards to hold in Socage He may devise the whole For at the time when the devise took effect he was Tenant in Socage Lands holden in Knight-service are given to J.S. in tail scil to the Heirs Males of his Body the Remainder to the right Heirs of J.S. J.S. deviseth these Lands and afterwards dieth without Issue Male the same is good for two parts yet during his life he had not an Estate in Fee in possession The Father disseiseth his Son and Heir apparent of an Acre of Land holden in Chief by Knight-service in Capite and afterwards purchaseth a Mannor holden in Socage and deviseth the said Mannor and dieth his Heir within age the Devise is good for the whole and the King shall not have Wardship of any part and that in respect of the Remitter and yet it is within the words Having sole Estate in Fee of Lands holden and within the Saving Tenant in tail of an Acre of Land holden of the King in Chief by Knight-service seised of two Acres in Fee holden ut supra makes a Lease for three Lives of the Acre entailed reserving the accustomed Rent and afterwards deviseth the other two Acres in Fee and afterwards dieth seised of the Reversion and Rent The same is a good devise of all the two Acres And here is an immediate descent of the third part for the same is within the words In Possession Reversion or Remainder or any Rent or Service incident to any Reversion or any Remainder See the Statute of 34 H. 8. A Man seised of three Acres of equal value holden by Knight-service in Capite assureth one to his Wife for her Ioynture by Act executed and deviseth another to a stranger And the third to his Wife also The King in this case shall have the third part of every Acre But if the stranger waiveth the devise the King shall have the Acre to him devised and the Wife shall retain the other two Acres and it shall not go in advantage of the Heir So if he deviseth the said three Arces severally to three several persons to each of them one Acre and the one Waives the devise in one Acre The devise of the other two is good Or otherwise the King shall have the third part of every Acre c.

A. durante minori aetate who brought an Action of Debt against the Debtor and recovered and had him in Execution and now the Executor came of full age It was moved What should be done in this Case and how the party should be discharged of the Execution for the authority of the Administrator is now determined and he cannot acknowledge satisfaction or make an acquittance Windham Although the authority of the Administrator be determined yet the Record and the Iudgment remain in force But peradventure you may have an Audita Querela But he conceived That an Administrator could not have such Action for that he is rather a Bailiff to the Enfant than an Administrator See Prince's Case 42 Eliz. Cook 5 Part 29. Which Rhodes concessit A. was bounden unto B. in an Obligation of 100 l. upon Condition to pay a lesser sum The Obligee made an Enfant his Executor and died Administration was committed durante minori aetate to C. to whom A. paid the Mony It was doubted If that payment was rightful or If the Mony ought to have been paid to both Windham Doth it appear within the Record That the Enfant was made Executor and that Administration was committed ut supra To which it was answered No. Then Windham said You may upon this matter have an Audita Querela In this Case It was said to be the Case of one Gore 33 Eliz. in the Exchequer in a Scire facias by an Assignee of a Bond against an Enfant Executor He pleaded That the Administration was committed to A. and his Wife during her minority And it was adjudged no Plea.

Cap. 8. shall not help that Lease notwithstanding the Non-recital or Mis-recital of Leases made before For here is not matter of recital but matter of Estate and Interest which is not well limited for the Commencement of it i. the Lease to Phillips For there is not any certainty of the Commencement of it For that Lease cannot begin after the Surrender of Roper for the words of the Limitation of the beginning of it cannot serve to such Construction XV. 2 Eliz.

Mich. 14 Eliz. IN an Ejectione Firmae the Case upon Evidence appeared to be thus The Bishop of Rochester Anno 4 E. 6. Leased to B. for years rendring Rent and afterwards granted the Reversion to C. for 99 years rendring the ancient Rent To have from the day of the Lease without impeachment of Waste which Grant was confirmed by the Dean and Chapter But B. did not Attorn And for default of Attornment It was holden by the whole Court That the Lease was void for it is made by way of grant of a Reversion and to pass as a Reversion But by Catline If the Bishop had granted the Reversion and also demised the Land for 99 years it should pass as a Lease to begin first after the former Lease determined And as to the Attornment it was given in Evidence That B. after the notice of the Grant to C. spake with C. to have a new Lease from him because he had in his Farm but 8 years to come but they could not agree upon the price And the Iustices were of Opinion That that was an Attornment because he had admitted the said C. to have power to make a new Lease unto him Also the said B. being in Company with one R. seeing the said C. coming towards him said to the said R. See my Landlord meaning the said C. Bromley Sollicitor That is no Attornment being spoken to a stranger Barham contrary because he was present And it was held by the whole Court to be a good Attornment But it was holden That if the Attornment was not before that the Bishop was translated to Winchester That the Lease should be void and although that the Confirmation of the Dean and Chapter was before the Attornment so as no Estate had vested in C. yet it is good enough for the assent of the Dean and Chapter is sufficient whether it be before or after by Catline Southcote and Whiddon Wray contrary XLI Mich. 14 Eliz.

The Incumbent dieth The Grantee may present For the Advowson was always appendant and the Inheritance thereof passeth to the Grantee and is not made disappendant by the usurpation as in the case of a common person for the King cannot be put out of possession But the Patentee shall not have a Quare Imped of the first disturbance for that presentment doth not pass to him being a thing in Action without mention of it in his Grant. And if the Patentee bringeth a Quare Impedit of the second Avoydance he shall make his Title by the presentment of the King not making mention of the usurpation yet if the Bishop presenteth for Lapse in the case of a common person he ought to make mention of it for that is his Title to the Presentment c. XLII Humfrey and Humfrey's Case Mich. 14 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. BEtween Humfrey and Humfrey the Case was That the Defendant in Debt after Iudgment aliened his Land and the Plaintiff sued forth Execution upon the new Statute And the Court of the Request awarded him to the Fleet because that he sued forth Execution Whereupon the Iustices of the Common Pleas awarded a Habeas Corpus and discharged the Plaintiff It was said by Bendloes Serjeant That the Chancery after Iudgment could not enjoyn the party that he shall not sue forth Execution for if they do the party shall have his remedy as above XLIII Mich. 14 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. A Man seised of Copyhold Lands Deviseth a certain parcel of them to his Wife for life the remainder to his Brother and his Heirs And afterwards in the presence of 3 persons of the Court said to them I have made my Will and I have appointed all things in my Will as I will have it And afterwards he said And here I surrender all my Copyhold Lands into your hands accordingly And it was moved If all his Copyhold Lands should be to his Wife or by those which were specified in the Will. And the Opinion of the whole Court was That the Surrender is restrained by the Will so as no more passeth to the Wife upon the whole matter but that which is mentioned in the Will and the general words shall not enlarge the matter XLIV Hill. 14 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. LAnds were devised to the Mayor Chamberlain and Governors of the Hospital of St. Bartholomew in London whereas in truth they are Incorporated by another name yet the Devise is good by Weston and Dyer which Manwood also granted because it shall be taken according to the intent of the Devisor And it was said by Weston If Lands be devised to A. eldest Son of B. although that his name be W. yet the Devise to him is good because there is sufficient certainty c. XLV Pasch 14 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was A. seised of Lands deviseth the same to his Wife for life the remainder to his three younger Sons and to the Heirs of their bodies begotten equally to be divided amongst them by even portions and if one of them die then the other two which survive shall be next Heirs The Devisor dieth One of the Sons dieth and by Dyer and Weston Iustices The 3 Brothers were Tenants in Common in remainder But contrary it is where such a Devise is made between them To be divided by my Executors c. there they are Ioynt-Tenants until the division is made but here although the words are Equally to be divided the same is not intended of a Division in fact and possession but of the Interest and Title For if a Man bringeth a Praecipe quod reddat de una parte Manerii de D. in 7 parts to be divided it is not intended divided in Possession but divided in Interest and Title And it was said by the said Iustices That although one of the Brothers dieth the two surviving Brothers have his part by purchase and not by descent and they are Ioynt-Tenants of it And this was the Case of one Webster and Katherine his Wife the late Wife of John Bradbury XLVI Pasch 14 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was Lessee for years of the
the Mannor descended to Sir John Clifton who granted a Copy-hold to Hempston The Executors of Sir William Cordell distrain for the Rent And it was agreed by the whole Court That the Copyholder should hold his Copy-hold charged Vide inde 10 Eliz. Dyer 270. Windham It hath been adjudged That the Wife of the Lord shall not be endowed against the Copyholder which Periam granted and shewed a reason thereof For the Title of Dower is not consummated before the death of the Husband so as the Title of the Copyholder was compleated before the Title of Dower But the Title of the Grantee of the Rent is consummated before the Dower Fenner conceived That the Executors could not distrain upon the Possession of the Copyholder and he argued That this Case is not within the Statute of 32 H. 8. For by the Preface of the said Statute he conceived That the Statute extended but to those Cases for which by the Common Law no remedy was provided but in this Case the Executors by the Common Law might have had an Action of Debt Ergo. But Periam and Windham held the contrary For this Statute intends a further remedy for that mischief viz. not only an Action of Debt but also Dissress and Avowry See the words of the Statute viz. distrain for the Arrearages c. Vpon the Lands c. which were charged with the payment of such Rents and chargeable to the distress of the Testator so long as the said Lands continue remain and be in the seisin or possession of the said Tenant in Demesne who ought immediately to have paid the said Rent so being behind to the said Testator or in the seisin or possession of any other person or persons claiming the said Lands only by and from the said Tenant by purchase gift or descent in like manner and form as their Testator might or ought to have done in his life time It was moved by Fenner That here the Land charged doth not continue in the seisin or possession of the Tenant And here Sir J. Clifton was issue in tail and therefore he doth not claim only by the Father but per formam Doni and therefore he is not lyable Ergo nor his Heir Shuttleworth contrary Sir J. Clifton was chargeable and he claims only from them who immediately ought to have paid the Rent And the Copyholder claims by purchase from Sir J. Clifton so he claims from Sir William Clifton the Tenant although he doth not claim immediately For if the Tenant ought to have paid it and he dieth and the Land descendeth to his Heir and the Heir maketh a Feoffment the Feoffee shall be charged within this Statute although he doth not claim immediately So where Land discharged descends from the Tenant who ought to have paid it and so from Heir to Heir The Statute of 1 R. 2. is That all Grants c. shall be good against the Donor c. his Heirs c. claiming the same only as Heirs to Cestuy que Use Yet if Cestuy que Use grants a Rent-charge and his Feoffees are disseised the Grant shall be good against the Disseisor and yet he doth not claim only by Cestuy que Use And although Sir J. Clifton be Tenant in tail and so claims per formam Doni yet forasmuch as the Estate tail comes under the Estate of him who grants the Rent he shall be subject to the charge And this Statute extends not only to him who claims by the Tenant but also to the Heir of him c. And by Windham and Rhodes The Copyholder doth not claim only by the Lord but he claims in also by the Custom but the Custom is not any part of his Title but only appoints the manner how he shall hold The possession here is continued in Sir J. Clifton for the possession of his Copyholder is his possession so as if the Copyholder be ousted Sir J. Clifton shall have an Assise And so the strict words of the Statute are observed for the seisin and possession continue in Sir J. Clifton who claims only by Sir William Clifton who was the Tenant in Demesne who ought to pay the Rent But Fenner said to that That the seisin and possession intended in the Statute was the very actual possession i. e. pedis dispositio and such a possession in which a distress might be taken and that could not be taken in a Freehold without actual possession LXXXVIII Owen and Sadlers Case Hill. 18 Eliz.

Leased to B. for years rendring Rent and afterwards granted the Reversion to C. for 99 years rendring the ancient Rent Habendum from the day of the Lease without impeachment of Waste which Grant was confirmed by the Dean and Chapter but B. did not attorn And in default of Attornment It was holden by the whole Court That the Lease was void For it was made by way of grant of the Reversion and to pass as a Reversion But by Catline If the Bishop had granted the Reversion and also demised the Land for 99 years It should pass as a Lease to begin first after the

In the Common Pleas. Post 70. Dyer 124. 2 Len. 11. IN Debt by Hinde against one as Son and Heir of Sir John Lyon who pleaded Nothing by descent but the third part of the Mannor of D. the Plaintiff replyed Assets and shewed for Assets That the Defendant had the whole Mannor of D. by descent Vpon which they were at Issue And it was given in Evidence to the Iury That the said Mannor was holden by Knights-Service And that the said Sir John the Ancestor of c. by his Will in writing Devised the whole Mannor to his Wife until the Defendant his Son and Heir should come to the age of 24 years And that at the age of his Son of 24 years his Wife should have the third part of the said Mannor for her life and his Son should have the residue And if that his said Son do die before he come to his said age of 24 years without Heir of his body that the Land should remain to J.S. the remainder over The Devisor died The Son came to the age of 24 years The Question was If the Son had an Estate in tail for then for two parts he was not in by descent And it seemed to Dyer and Manwood That here was not any Estate in tail for no tail shall rise if not that the Son die before his said age and therefore the tail shall never take effect and the Fee-simple doth descend and remain in the Son unless that he dieth before the age of 24 years and then the Estate vests with the remainder over but now having attained to the said age he hath the Fee and that by descent of the entier Mannor and then his Plea is false That but the third part descended And a general Iudgment shall be given against him as of his own Debt And an Elegit shall issue forth of the moyety of all his Lands as well those which he hath by descent from his Ancestor as his other Lands And a Capias also lieth against him But Manwood Iustice conceived That if a general Iudgment be given against the Heir by default in such cause a Capias doth not lie although it lieth in case of a false Plea. Dyer contrary And the Writ against the Heir is in the debet detinet which proves That in Law it is his own Debt And he said That he could shew a President where such an Action was maintainable against the Executors of the Heir XCVII Mich. 19 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was A. seised of Lands in Fee 2 Len. 154. Hob. 285. Dyer 329. by his Will in writing granted a Rent-Charge of 5 l. per annum out of the same to his younger Son towards his education and bringing up in Learning The Question was If in pleading the Devisee ought to aver That he was brought up in Learning And it was holden by Dyer Manwood and Mounson Iustices That there needs no such Averment for the Devise is not Conditional and therefore although he be not brought up in Learning yet he shall have the Rent And the words of the Devise are Towards his bringing up And the Devisor well knew that 5 l. per annum would not and could not reach to maintain a Scholar in Learning Diet Apparel and Books And this Rent although it be not sufficient to such intent yet the Son shall have it And by Dyer Three years past such Case was in this Court scil Two were bounden to stand to the Award of certain persons Who awarded That the one of them should pay unto the other 20 s. per annum during the Term of 6 years towards the education and bringing up of such an Enfant and within two years of the said Term the Enfant died so as now there needed not any supply towards his Education Yet it was holden That the said yearly sum ought to be paid for the whole Term after For the words Towards his Education are but to shew the intent and consideration of the payment of that sum and are not the words of a Condition XCVIII Mich. 19 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Quare Impedit The Plaintiff declared That the Defendant was seised in Fee of the Mannor of Orchard alias Lydcots-Farm to which the Advowson is appendant and presented such a one c. And afterwards leased to the Plaintiff the said Mannor per nomen of the Mannor of Orchard alias Lydcots-Farm with the appurtenances for 21 years and the Church became void c. And the truth of the Case was That there is the Mannor of Orchard and within the said Mannor the said Farm called Lydcots Farm parcel of the said Mannor and the Lease was of the said Farm and not of the said Mannor and so the Advowson remained to the Lessor as appendant to the Mannor In this Case It was moved What thing the Defendant should traverse Dyer He shall say That the Advowson is appendant to the Mannor of Orchard absque hoc that it is appendant to the Farm of Lydcots But it seemed to Manwood That the Defendant shall say That the Advowson is appendant to the Mannor of Orchard and that the Farm of Lydcots is parcel of the said Mannor and that he Leased to the Plaintiff the said Farm with the appurtenances absque hoc that the Mannor of Orchard and the said Farm are all one For if he traverse the Appendancy to the Farm of Lydcots then he confesseth That the Mannor and Farm are all one c. But Dyer doubted of it XCIX Kirlee and Lees Case Mich. 19 20 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN Action upon the Case upon Assumpsit the Plaintiff declared That the Defendant in Consideration that the Plaintiff would marry the Daughter of the Defendant did promise to find to the Plaintiff and his said Wife convenient apparel meat and drink for themselves and two servants and Pasture also for two Geldings by the space of 3 years when the Plaintiff would require it And further shewed That Licet the Plaintiff had married the Defendants Daughter and that he had required the Defendant to find ut supra c. the Defendant refused c.

Parliament 35 H. 8. it was Enacted That the said Lady should hold part of her Inheritance and dispose of the same as a Feme sole and that the Marquess should have the Residue and that he might Lease the same by himself without his Wife for 21 years or less rendring the ancient Rent being Land which had been usually demised c. The Marquess Leased for 21 years and afterwards durante Termino praedict Leased the same Land to another for 21 years to begin after the determination of the first Lease It was moved in this Case That this last Lease was void and that for 3 Causes 1. Because the Marquess had but an Estate for life and then it could not be intended that the Statute did enable one who had but such an Estate determinable to make such a Lease which peradventure might not commence in his life-time 2. The Letter of the Statute is 21 years or under and the word Under strongly expounded the meaning of the Statute to be not to extend to such an Estate For here upon the matter is a Lease for 40 years 3. Because the Land demised is the Inheritance of the Wife And in this Case it was said That in the Case of one Heydon such a private Act was strictly construed which was That it was Enacted That all Copies for 3 Lives granted by the Lord Admiral of the Lands of his Wife should be good The Admiral granted Leases in Reversion for 3 Lives And it was holden That that Grant was not warranted by the Statute Dyer said The words are general Omnes dimissiones and therefore not to be restrained unto special Leases scil to Leases in possession Manwood said A Feme Covert by duresse joyns in a Lease with her Husband the same shall bind her CXI The Queen and Sir John Constables Case Hill. 20 Eliz.

Constables Case A Quo Warranto was brought by the Queen against Sir John Constable who claimed certain Wreck in the County of York The Defendant pleaded That Edward Duke of Buck. was seised of such a Mannor to which he had Wreck appendant and that he was de alta proditione debito modo attinctus and that found before the Escheator And shewed further That the said Mannor descended to Queen Mary who granted the same to the Earl of Westmerland who granted the same to the Defendant Vpon which It was demurred And Exception was taken to the Plea because the Attainder is not fully and certainly pleaded It was argued by Plowden That the Attainder was certainly pleaded scil debito modo attinctus And it is shewed That the Wreck is appendant to the Mannor and then if the Defendant hath the Mannor he hath the Wreck also and if he hath the Mannor it is not material as to the Queen how he hath it for the Queen doth not claim the same but impeacheth the Defendant for using there such a Liberty But if the Heir of the said Duke had demanded the Mannor there against him the Attainder ought to have been pleaded certainly And it was said by him That the Interest of the Queen in the Sea extends unto the midst of the Sea betwixt England and Spain But the Queen hath the whole Iurisdiction of the Sea between England and France because she is Queen of England France c.

TEnant for life made a Feoffment of White-Acre of which he was seised for life and made a Letter of Attorny to deliver Livery and Seisin secundum formam Chartae before Livery the Tenant purchased the Fee and afterwards Livery was made It was resolved by the Court in this Case That all passed But if the Feoffment had been of all his Lands in D. and the Letter of Attorny accordingly and before Livery made the Feoffee had many Lands there If he purchased one Acre after the Livery should not extend to that Acre because the Authority was satisfied by the other Acre CXIII Banks and Thwaits Case Mich. 21 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action upon the Case the Case was That A. had pawned an Indenture of Lease for years of a Messuage and Lands to Banks Thwaits intending to purchase the same required Banks to deliver him the said Lease and he would give Banks 10 l. whether he bought it or no at what time he would request the 10 l. Post 200. And Banks delivered the same to Thwaits accordingly Post 200. And afterwards brought an Action upon the Case and declared upon the whole matter and concluded Licet saepius requisitus c. without alledging a request express in certain and the day and place of it It was said by Cook That here the monies did not grow due before Request nor is payable before Request and therefore a Request ought to be made in facto And so he said It was ruled in this Court in an Action upon the Case betwixt Palmer and Burroughs and he said that the Mony was not due by the Promise but by the Request And it was the Opinion of the whole Court That although it be a duty Yet it is not a duty payable before Request And the Request makes a Title to the Action But if A. selleth to B. a Horse for 10 l. there is a Contract and a Request in facto need not be layed And the Opinion of the Court was also That upon this matter the Plaintiff could not have an Action of Debt for there is not any Contract for the thing is not sold but it is a Collateral promise grounded upon the delivery And by Clench Here the Request is traversable And afterwards Iudgment was given against the Plaintiff And it was said It was so ruled in Alderman Pullisons Case in the Exchequer Post 201. CXIV Segar and Boyntons Case Mich. 21 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 2 Len. 156. IN Trespass the Case was this King Henry the 8th Anno 27 of his Reign gave the Mannor of D. to Sir Edward Boynton Knight and to the Heirs Males of his body Sir Edward Boynton had Issue Andrew his eldest Son and C. the Defendant his younger Son and died Andrew Boynton Covenanted by Indenture with the Lord Seymore that the said Andrew Boynton would assure the said Mannor to the use of himself for life the Remainder to the said Lord and his Heirs The said Lord Seymore in recompence thereof should assure other Lands to the use of himself for life the remainder to the use of the said Andrew Boynton in tail who 37 H. 8. levyed a Fine of the said Mannor without proclamations to two strangers to the uses according to the said Agreement and before any Assurance made by the said Lord The said Lord was Attainted of Treason and all his Lands were forfeited to the King And afterwards the said Andrew Boynton made a Suggestion to Queen Mary of the whole matter and upon his humble Petition the said
Plaintiff ad requisitionem dicti Davidis repararet And the Plaintiff declares That reparavit generally without saying 2 Cro. 404. That ad requisitionem Davidis reparavit And that is not the Reparation intended in the Consideration i. e. reparatio ad requisitionem c. but a Reparation of his own head and at his pleasure And for this Cause the Iudgment was stayed CXXXII Wrennam and Bullman's Case Pasch 26 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 2 Len. 52. 1 Len. 282. WRennam brought an Action upon the Statute of 1 2 Phil. Mar. against Bullman for unlawful impounding of Distresses and was Nonsuit It was moved by Shuttleworth Serjeant If the Defendant should have Costs upon the Statute of 23 H. 8. And it was Adjudged That he should not And that appears clearly upon the words of the Statute c. for this Action is not conceived upon any matter which is comprised within the said Statute and also the Statute upon which this Action is grounded was made after the said Statute of 23 H. 8. which gives Costs and therefore the said Statute of 23 H. 8. and the remedy of it cannot extend to any action done by 1 2 Phil. Mary And Rhodes Iustice said It was so adjudged in 8 Eliz. CXXXIII Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 2 Len. 161. Dyer 291. IN a Formedon of a Mannor The Tenant pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy by Fine with J.S. The Demandant averred the Tenant sole Tenant as the Writ supposed and upon that it was found and tryed for the Demandant Vpon which a Writ of Error was brought and Error assigned in this Because where Ioynt-Tenancy is pleaded by Fine the Writ ought to have abated without any Averment by the Demandant against it and the Averment had been received against Law c. Shuttleworth At the Common-Law If the Tenant had pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy by Deed the Writ should have abated without any Averment but that was remedied by the Statute of 34 E. 1. But Ioynt-Tenancy by Fine doth remain as it was at the Common Law For he hath satis supplicii because by his Plea if it be false he hath by way of Conclusion given the moyety of the Land in demand to him with whom he hath pleaded Ioynt-Tenancy And the Law shall never intend that he would so sleightly depart with his Land for the abatement of a Writ As in a Praecipe quod reddat the Tenant confesseth himself to be a Villein of a stranger the Writ shall abate without any Averment Free and of Free estate for the Law intends that the Tenant will not inthral himself without cause Wray to the same purpose But the Demandant may confess and avoid the Fine as to say That he who levied the Fine was his Disseisor upon whom he hath before entred And if Tenant in Feesimple be impleaded and he saith That he is Tenant for life the remainder over to A. in Fee and prayeth in Aid of A. the Demandant shall not take Averment That the Tenant at the time of the Writ brought was seised in Fee. Note In this Formedon Ioynt-Tenancy was pleaded but as to parcel And it was holden by Wray and Southcote That the whole Writ should abate the whole Writ against all the Defendants And so where the Demandant enters into parcel of the Land in demand if the thing in demand be an entire thing the Writ shall abate in all In this Writ the Demandant ought to have averred in his Writ an especial foreprise of the Land parcel of the Land in demand whereof the Ioynt-Tenancy by the Fine is pleaded For this dismembring of the Mannor and distraction of the Land of which the Ioynt-Tenancy is pleaded is paravail and under the gift whereof the Formedon is conceived and therefore in respect of the title of the Demandant it remains in right parcel of the Mannor and therefore ought to be demanded accordingly with a foreprise But if A. giveth unto B. a Mannor except 10 Acres in tail there if after upon any Discontinuance the issue in tail is to have a Formedon in such case there needs not any foreprise for the said 10 Acres for they were severed from the Mannor upon the gift But if Lands in demand be several as 20 Acres except 2 Acres this foreprise is not good See Temps E. 1. Fitz. Brief 866. Praecipe c. unam bovatam terrae forprise one Sellion and the Writ was abated for every demand ought to be certain but a Sellion is but a parcel of Land uncertain as to the quantity in some places an Acre in some more in some less Another Point was Because the Tenant hath admitted and accepted this Averment scil sole Tenant as the Writ supposeth And the Question was If the Court notwithstanding the Admittance of the Tenant ought without Exception of the party Ex Officio to abate the Writ And it was the Opinion of Wray Chief Iustice That it should For it is a positive Law As if a Woman bring an Appeal of Murder upon the death of her Brother and the Defendant doth admit it without a Challenge or Exception yet the Court ought to abate the Appeal 10 E. 4. 7. See the principal Case there Non ideo puniatur Dominus c. And if an Action be brought against an Hostler upon the Common Custom of the Realm and in the Writ he is not named Common Hostler yet the Court shall abate the Writ Ex Officio See 11 H. 4. and 38 H. 6. 42. CXXXIV Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. A. Seised of Lands in the right of his Wife for the Term of the life of the Wife made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of his said Wife for her life It was holden in that Case That the Wife was remitted And it is not like Amy Townsends Case Plow Com. 1 2 Phil. and Mar. 111. For in the said Case the Entry of the Wife was not lawful for she was Tenant in tail which Estate was discontinued by the Feoffment of her Husband And Periam Iustice cited a Case Sidenham's Case Bacon seised in the right of his Wife for the Term of the life of the Wife They both surrendred and took back the Lands to them and a third person And it was holden That the Wife was not presently remitted but after the death of her Husband she might disagree to the Estate CXXXV Harper and Berrisford's Case Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Writ of Partition The Defendant demanded Iudgment of the Writ because the Writ is Quare-cum A. teneat c. pro indiviso c 4 mille acras whereas it should be Quatuor Mille acrarum And many Grammarians were cited all which agreed That it was good both ways viz. Mille Acras or Mille Acrarum And Rhodes Iustice said That Cowper in Thesauro suo Linguae Latinae saith Quod Mille fere jungitur Genitivo Ergo non semper Wherefore Anderson with the assent of the other Iustices Ruled
said Accompt the said Robston demanded allowance of 20 Marks by the year for the said 8 years for the Education of the said Arthur which was allowed to him so as now he shall not be received to demand allowance for the said 8 years for the Education of the said Arthur out of the Accompt of the said 100l and that was fully proved to the Iury. It was moved How the Iury should demean themselves in their Verdict For the Issue is That the Defendant had expended the whole 100l in the Education of the said Arthur and Anne And some were of Opinion If the Defendant had expended part in the Education of the said Anne only yet the Iury ought to find for the Plaintiffs For the Issue is entire upon the expending of the said 100l in the Education of the said Arthur and Anne without saying how much for the said Arthur and how much for the said Anne But Periam and Anderson Iustices were clear to the contrary Wherefore they advised the Iury to find specially if they conceived that the Defendant had expended any part of the 100l and to find it and how much And after the Iury found against the Defendant That nothing was expended c. And gave damages 20l. And the Iustices at the first doubted If damages should be given in an Accompt But at length they received the Verdict by the manner de bene esse See 2 R. 2. Fitz. Accompt 45. 2 H. 7. 13. 10 H. 6. 18. 21 H. 6. 26. And the Book of Entries 17. in such case damages were given CC. Tooley and Preston's Case Hill. 29 Eliz.

Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff And now upon the Retorn of the Writ of Enquiry of Damages It was moved That for as much as the Damages are excessive viz. 200l that the Court de Gratia would abridge the Damages But the whole Court was against it For that they as Iudges cannot know what prejudice and damage the Plaintiff hath sustained by the wrongful detaining of the said Recognizance but the Iury may well have notice of such matter And as the Case is here the damages are but incertain upon the Assumpsit For the Defendant assumed That if he did not redeliver the said Recognizance to the Plaintiff to pay him 1000 l. so as the damages are reduced to certainty by the promise of the Defendant himself And by Anderson If I bail to you an Obligation to rebail the same to me before such a day one 10l now upon not delivery at such a day I shall have an Action of Debt for the 10l contrary by Windham And by Anderson in the principal Case If the Defendant had pleaded Non Assumpsit and the Iury had found the promise they might have given 1000l damages without danger of an Attaint notwithstanding that the Plaintiff could not prove that he was damnified one penny and that by reason of the express Assumpsit of the Defendant CCI.

And the Case was That afterwards by the means and endeavour of Squire the Grant of the said next Avoidance was made to Bingham But before the next Avoidance the present Arch-Deacon was created a Bishop so as the presentment to that Avoidance appertained to the Queen It was adjudged in this Case That the Condition was not performed and that by reason of these words So that Bingham may Present And afterwards the Plaintiff had Iudgment to recover CCII.

In the Common Pleas.

Allen and Hill's Case Mich. 29 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 1 Cro. 238. IN an Ejection Firme by Allen against Hill of a House in Cornhill in London Vpon Not guilty pleaded The Iury found this special matter viz. That one Francis Beneson was seised of the said House in Fee and 4 Eliz. devised the same to Anne his Wife for life in full satisfaction of all her Thirds in London and after her death to Tho. Beneson his Brother in Fee Proviso That if Anne clearly the words of the Verdict are totaliter depart out of London and dwell in the Country that then she shall have a Rent out of the said House And the Iury found further That Francis died without Issue and that afterwards Thomas died Robert being his next Heir And that 14 Eliz. Anne clearly departed out of London and went to Melton in the County of Suffolk And that afterwards Robert before any Entry released unto Anne and afterwards against his Release entred It was argued for the Defendant That by this Proviso and the departure of Anne out of London the Freehold was not out of her and vested in Robert before the entry of Robert For if it were out of Anne then is she but Tenant at sufferance to whom a Release made cannot enure And the words of the Will are not That her Estate shall cease And here as the case is Anne cannot be Tenant at sufferance to him in the Remainder betwixt whom and her there is not any privity See 18 E. 4. 25 26. Tenant for the term of the life of another the Remainder over in Fee Cestuy que vie dieth The Tenant remained Tenant until he in the Remainder entred upon him And so in our Case although Anne hath clearly departed out of London c. yet the Freehold of the House doth continue in her until the Entry of Robert and then the Release made to her is good Also the Breach of the Condition is not fully found For the Proviso is If she clearly departs out of London but it doth not stay there and dwell in the Country c. And
was not so for it became void by matter of later time scil by the descent of the Feesimple For if one of the Daughters had died without Issue before the death of Robert so as the House of such Daughter had come to Robert and the other Sister there had been no Coparcener for the Son had all the Fee and the moyety of it is executed and the moyety expectant and the Sister hath the moyety for life and then the Devise is not good Also here are two survivors so as nothing is to be divided and therefore the Law shall say That the House of Robert is descended scil the Fee of it to the Daughter of Christien and Joan. And so Iudgment was given against the Husband who claimed to be Tenant by the Curtesie of the whole Land and Messuage CCXXXIII Large's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 2 Len. 82. IN an Action upon the Case the Case was this A. seised of Lands in Fee Devised the same to his Wife till William his younger Son should come to the age of 22 years the remainder when the said William should come to such age of his Lands in D. to his two Sons Alexander and John the remainder of his Lands in C. to two other of his Sons upon Condition Quod si aliquis dictorum filiorum suorum circumibit vendere terram suam before his said Son William should attain his said age of 22 years imperpetuum perderet eam And before such age two of his Sons Leased their parts which accrued to them by the Will of their Father for 60 years and so from 60 years to 60 years till 240 years were expired It was Argued by Bois That Alexander and John are Ioynt-Tenants and not Tenants in Common notwithstanding the Opinion of Audley 30 H. 8. Br. Devises 29. And he argued also That the said Leases from 60 years to 60 years is not within the Condition of the Devise for it is not a sale from which they only are restrained and so is it of a Ioynture made by any of the Sons to their Wives On the contrary It was argued because this remainder doth not vest presently for it is incertain if it shall vest or not For if William should die before he came to the age aforesaid it was conceived that the remainder was void 34. E. 3. Fitz. Formedon 68. A Man deviseth Land to his Wife for life so that if the said Wife be disturbed that the Land shall remain over in Fee scil to D. here is not any remainder until the Wife be disturbed So a Devise unto a Woman so long as she shall remain sole and that then it shall remain to B. here this remainder shall not begin till the marriage And this Condition of restraint of Alienation is good for he is not altogether restrained but for a time scil until his Son shall come to the age of 22 years As a Feoffment upon Condition That he shall not alien to J.S. See 29 H. 8. Br. Mortmain 39. A Lease made for 100 years and so from 100 years to 100 years until 800 years be expired is Mortmain And see the Statute de Religiosis The words are emere praesumat vendere A Lease for years is within such words emere vendere Also by this Lease the Will is defrauded and where the Statute of Gloucester Cap. 3. Wills That if a Man aliens Tenements which he holdeth by the Law of England with warranty the Son shall not be barred and yet if Tenant by the Curtesie be disseised to whom he releaseth with warranty the same is within the said Statute and yet a Release and an Alienation are not the same because they are in the like mischief and if the Sons might make a Lease for 240 years they might make a Lease for 2000 years So if the Sons had acknowledged a Statute of such a sum as amounted to the value of the Land it had been within the Condition It was holden That where the words are Circumibit vendere terram imperpetuum perdert this word imperpetuum should be referred to perdere and not to vendere Fenner This Lease is not within the word Sell For if the Custom be That an Enfant of the age of 15 years may sell his Land yet by that he cannot devise it Note That afterwards the words of the Condition set down in the Will in English were read viz. Shall go about to sell his part shall for ever lose the same And then it is clear that this word imperpetuum shall be referred in Construction to perdere and not to vendere for this word Shall is inserted betwixt both CCXXXIV Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN a Formedon The Tenant pleaded a Fine with proclamations The Demandant replyed Nul tiel Record And the truth of the Case was That the Record of the Fine which remained with the Chirographer did warrant the Plea but that which remained with the Custos Brevium did not warrant it and both these Records were shewed to the Court. And Rhodes Iustice cited a President 26 Eliz. Where by the advice of all the Iustices of England where such Records differ the Record remaining with the Custos Brevium was amended and made according to the Record remaining with the Chirographer Which Windham concessit And afterwards the said President was shewed in which was set down all the proceedings in the amending of it and the names of all the Iustices by whose direction the Record was amended were set down in it And that the said President was written and the amendment of the said Record recorded by the Commandment and appointment of the said Iustices in perpetuam rei memoriam And the reason which induced the said Iustices to make such Order is here written because they took it That the Note remaining with the Chirographer est principale Recordum CCXXXV Sir Gervase Clifton's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. 4 Len. 199. IN a Quo Warranto against Sir Gervase Clifton It was shewed That the said Sir Gervase was seised of a Mannor and of a House in which he claimed to have a Court with View of Frank-Pledge and that he without any Grant or other authority usurpavit Libertates praedictas The Defendant pleaded Quod non usurpavit Libertates praedictas infra Messuagium praedict modo forma And upon that there was a Demurrer in Law For the Defendant ought to have said Non usurpavit Libertates praedictas nec eorum aliquam for he ought to answer singulatim And also he ought to have pleaded as well to the Mannor as to the House For if the Defendant hath holden Court within any place within the Mannor it is sufficient See 33 H. 8. Br. Franc. sans ceo 364. An Information was in the Exchequer That the Defendant had bought Wooll of A.B. contra Statutum The Defendant pleaded That he had not bought of A. and B. The Plea was not allowed but he
that the Queens Attorny said That it is true that Thomas Robinson was possessed but it is further said That Thomas granted it to Paramour and so the Interest of Thomas is confessed on both sides and therefore the Iury shall not be received to say the contrary But the Opinion of Manwood Chief Baron was That if the parties do admit a thing per nient dedire the Iury is not bound by it but where upon the pleading a special matter is confessed there the Iury shall be bound by it And afterwards the Issue was found against Robinson the Defendant CCLXXIII Trin. 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action of Debt by A. against B. upon an Obligation the Defendant pleaded tender of the Mony according to the Condition upon which the parties were at Issue And after the Defendant pleaded That after the Darrein Continuance the Debt now in demand was Attached in the Defendants hands according to the Custom of London for the debt of C. to whom the Plaintiff was endebted It was the Opinion of the Court That the Plea was insufficient for it is altogether contrary to the first Plea. And also the Court held That in an Action for the debt depending here in this Court the debt cannot be attached and the Court would not suffer a Demurrer to be joyned upon it but over-ruled the Case without any Argument For it was said by Wray Chief Iustice That it was against the Iurisdiction of the Court and the Priviledge of it CCLXXIV Trin. 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. NOte It was holden by the Court That if a Copyholder in Fee dieth seised and the Lord admits a stranger to the Land who entreth that he is but a Tenant at Will and not a Disseisor to the Copyholder who hath the Land by descent because he cometh in by the assent of the Lord c.

Where the Case was Tenant in tail discontinued to E. and afterwards levied a Fine to B. That although that partes finis nihil habuerunt yet the said Fine did bind the Estate tail But the Serjeants at the Bar argued That there was a difference between the Case cited and the Case at Bar For in the Case cited the Fine was pleaded in Bar but here it was not pleaded but found by Special Verdict To which it was said by the Court That the same is not any difference For the Fine by the Statute is not any matter of Estoppel or Conclusion but by the Statute binds and extincts the entail and the right of it And Fines are as sufficient to bind the right of the entail when they are found by Special Verdict as when they are pleaded in Bar. And Periam Iustice said A Collateral Warranty found by Special Verdict is of as great force as pleaded in Bar. And afterwards Iudgment was given That the Estate tail by that Fine was utterly barred and extinct CCLXXVII Mich. 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench.

And it was also holden by Manwood Chief Baron That if Execution be had upon a puisne Statute and the same is afterwards avoided by more ancient Statute and afterwards the ancient Statute is satisfied That now the puisne Recognisee may re-enter without suing forth any new Execution CCCXXIX Butler and Lightfoot's Case Mich. 32 33 Eliz.

In the Common Pleas. IT was holden in this Case That duress of Imprisonment is not intended but where the party is wrongfully imprisoned until he make the Bond and not where a Man is lawfully imprisoned for another cause and for his delivery he makes a Bond for that is not per duritiam imprisonamenti And if in such Case duresse be pleaded the other may say of his own accord sine duritia imprisonamenti without saying absque hoc that it was per duritiam imprisonamenti And so it was also holden in the Kings Bench.

THe Case was Curson acknowledged a Statute to Alderman Starkey and afterwards acknowledged another to Hampdem which was assigned to the Queen Afterwards the Lands of Curson were extended for Starkey and a Liberate thereof It was holden by the Court That the same was a good Execution and that the Queen should not avoid it But if the Land had been extended at the suit of the Queen then the Execution of the Queen should hold place although it were a Statute of a puisne date And by Clark Baron If a Recognizance acknowledged by a Subject be assigned to the Queen It hath been a Question If all the Lands of the Conusor shall be extended or but the moyety as it shall be at the suit of the Conusee himself It was holden That all the Lands should be extended CCCXXXII The Lord Gray's Case Trin. 32 Eliz. In the Exchequer THe Lord Gray Tenant of the King of Lands holden in Capite by Licence of the King made a Feoffment of the Lands in Fee and afterwards levied a Fine for further assurance And upon Process the party came into the Court and shewed this matter And the party was advised by the Court to aver That the said Fine was for further assurance And then upon such averment he should be discharged without any Pardon sued forth for the Fine c.

In the Exchequer THe Case was Tenant in tail Post 261. 4 Len. 97. the Remainder of Lands in chief levyed a Fine of them without Licence of the King and if the Tenants of the Lord Dacres should be charged for the Fine was argued For the Case was That the Lord Dacres was Tenant in tail the Remainder in tail to Philip Fines And it was holden by all the Barons That the Tenants Lands should be discharged But it was holden That if the Conusor had any other Lands within England the Fine might be levyed
Demands or Grants Omnia terras tenementa sua But general words qualified with a restraint where the Limitations are effectual As if the King Grants Omnia terras tenementa sua in D. which he hath by the Attainder of J.S. or which were the possessions of such dissolved Monasteries such Grants are good And where the Case is That Queen Mary hath the Lands in possession of the annual value of 19 l. and other Land there in Reversion of the annual value of 6 l. and then she Grants Omnia terras tenementa nostra rendring 19 l. per annum I conceive That upon these words the Land in possession only passeth because that the said general words may be aptly served and satisfied with the Lands in possession if no other Lands pass And I agree That this word Nostra extends as well to the Lands in Reversion as to Lands in possession but most properly to Lands in possession for Land in Reversion cannot dici simpliciter Nostra but quodam modo tanquam terra revertens and not to take the natural profits of it for the Termor hath such properly that he shall have an Action of Trespass Quare clausum fregit But the intent and meaning of the Queen is to be regarded and that is the surest way to have right intelligence of the Grants of the King For here the Queen hath reserved but 19 l. Rent which is the proper and ancient Rent of the Lands in possession and if Lands in Reversion should also pass the Rent of which was 6 l. per annum then upon the whole Grant but 19 l. being reserved the Queen should lose 6 l. per annum of her ancient Rent which should be contrary to the intent and meaning of the Queen and the intent of the Grantor even in the Case of a Subject shall direct the construction of Grants As 9 H. 6. Br. Grants 5 by Babington A Man grants Common in his whole Lands he shall not have Common in his Orchards Gardens or Meadows for such was the meaning of the Grantor a fortiori in the Case of the King. It hath been argued That the former Lease ought not to be recited because that after the first Lease made by King Henry the 8th the Inheritance hath been in a Subject that is the Bishop of Bath and Wells but the same is not so For if the King makes a Lease for years and afterwards Grants the Reversion upon Condition which after is broken and so found by Office by which the Reversion is reduced to the King If now the King will make a new Lease he ought to recite the former Estate notwithstanding the mean grant of the Reversion or else such second Lease is void Another matter hath been Objected wherefore the former Lease ought not to be recited and that is because it is determined by surrender in Law before that the new Lease takes effect Sir the same is not so for the former Lease is in being as the Case betwixt Fulmerston and Steward 1 Mar. Plow Com. 106. upon the Statute of Monasteries 31 H. 8. See the words of the Statute whereof and wherein any Estate or Interest for years at the time of the making of any such Lease had his being or continuance And an Abbot made such a Lease to one who had a term for years of a former Grant although here be a Surrender yet this Case is within the said Statute and the said former Lease shall be said to have his being at the time of the making of the later Lease and the Surrender shall not be said so to preceed the making of the Lease but that the former Lease shall be said in Esse at the time of the making of the later Lease And in our Case it shall not be taken for any Surrender for then the Queen shall lose 6 l. of her ancient Rent and Revenue and always when the Title of the King and of the Subject concur the Title of the King shall be preferred as 43 E. 3. The King Lord Mesne and Tenant The Tenant pays his Rent at the day to the Mesne before Noon and then the same day before Night the Mesne dieth his Heir within age the King shall be paid the Rent again for here the Title of the King and the Subject concur together at one time and in that the King shall be preferred and so he prayed Iudgment for the Defendant And afterwards at another day the Iustices declared their Opinions and by Wray Chief Iustice We all agree That the first Lease ought to be recited and the reason which hath been urged against that point hath reduced us to be of that Opinion scil That the second Lease was made to the first Patentee and the King doth not make the recital but the party ought to inform the King of all former Estates of the said Lands and that he might well do for he is well knowing of them and although that the Reversion after the first Lease made hath been conveyed to a Subject the same is not material here forasmuch as the second Estate is made to him who had the first Estate and might know whether the first Estate were determined or not Also by the re-purchase the King is in Statu quo prius Gawdy Iustice although that the former Term be drowned by the taking of the second Lease yet it was in being at the time of the taking of it as it is holden by Bromley in the Case of Fulmerston and Steward It is determined by the second Lease and yet it was in being at the time of the making of it Fenner Iustice to the same intent Clench Iustice If the Grant of the Queen shall enure to two intents then the Queen should lose 6 l. per annum of her ancient Revenue It was agreed by all the Iustices That the general words in as much as they are restrained to a certainty would pass the thing si caetera essent paria contrary if they had remained in the generalty and afterwards Iudgment was given Quod querens nihil Capiat per Billam CCCXXXVIII Trin. 32 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 4 Len. 233. A Man 30 Eliz. made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of his Son and his Heirs The Father and the Feoffees before issue for Mony by Deed granted and enfeoffed J.S. and his Heirs who hath not notice of the first use The Tenant for life hath issue and dieth the issue entreth Glanvil the use limited to the first Son is destroyed for without regress of the Feoffees it cannot rise and it is gone by their Livery See the Case in Plowden 349. and also he vouched the Case of the Earl of Kent where by the Release of the surviving Feoffee 2 Roll. 797. Plow 347. a Sleeping-Vse was destroyed and could not after be revived Harris the use may rise without entries of the Feoffees and he put a difference between an
the Rent by the Father to the Son is fraudulent and so shall be intended if the contrary be not shewed and averred And so it was of late adjudged in the Court of Wards Where a Man alieneth to his Son and Heir for Mony and Mony in truth is paid yet notwithstanding it shall be intended fraudulent unless the contrary be shewed and averred Hanham Serjeant This Grant shall enure first as the Grant of Tenant in tail and after the death of the Tenant in tail without Issue it shall be the Grant of him in the Remainder And to this purpose he put Newdegate's Case 7 Eliz. Dyer 234. Lessee for life and he in the Reversion Lease for years by Indenture That during the life of Lessee for life is his Demise only and the Confirmation of him in the Reversion but after the death of the Lessee for life it is the Lease and Demise of him in the Reversion and he shall have an Action of Waste ex dimissione sua propria without shewing the special matter in the Count. And if Tenant in tail granteth a Rent in Fee and he in the Reversion confirm the Grant it is good See Litt. 121. And he said That the Recoveror is in the Per for it was holden in Winter's Case That if a Man makes a Lease for years rendring Rent with clause of Re-entry and afterwards suffereth a Common Recovery That such a Recoveror is an Assignee within the Statute of 32 H. 8. to take benefit of a Condition and Recoveries are now common Conveyances And if Tenant for life be the Remainder over in Fee and Tenant for life grants a Rent-Charge and afterwards ceaseth and the Lord recovereth in a Cessavit he shall hold the Land charged And as to the Collusion it is not shewed in the pleading That the Grant was made by Collusion for if the Collusion be not apparent the Iustices without averment of it are not bounden to take Notice of it Cowper Serjeant Here are two several Grants and one Grant intire in the Letter may enure as several Grants as if two Tenants in Common grant a Rent of 10 s. here are several Grants and he shall have several Rents of 10 s. And if A. disseiseth B. of Black-Acre and C. disseiseth B. of White-Acre and afterwards by one Deed releaseth to A. and C. the same shall enure as several releases upon their several possessions And he in his Argument relied much upon the Collusion and this Grant shall be taken by the Iustices to be fraudulent for it was made 20 Eliz. and the Recovery was 21 Eliz. and in 27 Eliz. came the Statute Beamount Serjeant This Grant shall enure as several Grants i.e. as a Grant of Tenant in tail and afterwards as of him in the Reversion Two Ioynt-Tenants Enfants make a Feoffment They shall have several Writs of Dum fuit infra aetatem as upon several Feoffments 19 H. 6. 43. Two Coparceners take Husbands who discontinue and die their Wives shall have several Writs of Cui in vita and yet the Discontinuance was joynt And 15 H. 7. 14. If 3 Coparceners be and upon partition one of them granteth to the two others Rent of 20 s. per annum for equality of partition that Rent shall be in the nature of Coparceners and so shall descend and shall not go to the Survivour but by descent See 21 E. 3. 50. Also admit that it is the Confirmation of him in the Remainder yet after the death of the Tenant in tail without Issue now it is become the Grant of him in the Remainder And to that purpose he cited Newdegate's Case 7 Eliz. Dyer before cited But posito that it be the sole Grant of the Tenant in tail yet here is not any Covin apparent for Covin apparent ought to be averred and proved otherwise the Iudges of our Law cannot adjudge upon it for they cannot judge upon probabilities as the Iudges of the Civil Law do for so they should many times minister Injustice in the place of Iustice And that the same is not Covin apparent although it be made to his Son he vouched 19 H. 6. 30. and 47 E. 3. 16. Where such a Feoffment to re-enfeoff the Heir of the Feoffor when he cometh of full age is not in it self Covin apparent but it ought to be expresly averred And he cited also Warnford's Case 3 Eliz. Dyer 193. And also he cited 17 Eliz. Dyer 341. upon the Statute of 27 H. 8. of Monasteries Where there is a Proviso Forasmuch as some of the Chief Governours of such Religious Houses have lately fraudulently and craftily made Leases c. to the great decay and diminution of their Houses That all such Leases c. made within one year before the making of this Act shall be void c. And also there is a Proviso That such persons as have Leases whereupon the old Rent is reserved shall enjoy their Leases c. The Case was That an Abbot made a Lease for 60 years 47 days before the making of the said Act upon which the ancient Rent was not reserved It was holden there That although the Lease was within the words of the Statute because made within a year yet it shall not be intended Covinous without an express averment of it for it may be it was made bona fide See Librum Yelverton Serjeant This is a joynt Grant but yet it shall charge the several Estates when they come into possession Also he put this Case Cestuy que Use and the Feoffees after the Statute of 1 R. 3. and before 27 H. 8. joyn in a grant of a Rent It shall enure as several Grants in respect of their several authorities scil one by the Statute of 1 R. 3. and the other by the Common-Law And as to the Covin he conceived Tat it is Covin apparent and needed not to be averred and that appeareth by the suffering of the Common Recovery CCCXL Brokesby and Wickham's Case Hill. 32 Eliz.

C. assures the same to Sir Nicholas Carew who is attainted of Treason by which Attainder the Mannor and Land cometh to King Henry 8th who thereof dieth seised and the same descends to King Edward the 6th who grants the same Mannor to the Lord Darcy who grants the same to Queen Mary who grants the same to Francis Carew Son of Nicholas Carew who by Fine assures the same to the Lord Darcy the Proclamations pass and the 5 years pass she who hath right to the Lands whereof the Desseisin was made being for all that time a Feme Covert And therefore the Fine did not bar her But because that the King was entituled to the Land by a double matter of Record and by the descent from Hen. the 8th to Ed. the 6th And also because a Seignory is reserved to the King upon the Grant made by King Edward the 6th to the Lord Darcy The Iustices were all of Opinion That the Entry of the Heir of the Disseisee was not lawful upon the Patentee of the Queen 2 Len. 122. but that she ought to be Relieved by way of Petition XXXVII Mich. 14 Eliz.

In the Kings Bench. 2 Roll. 787. IN Trespass upon an Evidence given to the Iury at the Bar the Case appeared to be thus Land was given to A. in tail the remainder in Fee to his Sisters being his Heirs at the Common Law A. made a Deed in this manner viz. I the said A. have given granted and confirmed for a certain piece of Mony c. without the words of Bargained Sold And the Habendum was to the Feoffee with warranty against A. and his Heirs And a Letter of Attorny was to make Livery and Seisin And the Deed was in this manner To all Christian People c. And the Deed was enrolled within one month after the making of it And the Deed was Indented although that the words of the Deed were in the form of a Deed Poll And after 4 months after the delivery of the Deed the Attorny made Livery of Seisin A. died without Issue and the Sisters entred and the Feoffee ousted them of the Land and thereupon they brought an Action of Trespass And the Opinion of the whole Court was for the Plaintiff for here is not any Discontinuance for the Conveyance is by Bargain and Sale and not by Feoffment because the Livery comes too late after the Inrollment and then the Warranty shall not hurt them And although that in the Deed there be not any word of Indenture and also that the words are in the first person Yet in as much as the Parchment is Indented 2 Roll. 787. and both the parties have put their Seals to it it is sufficient Also It was clearly agreed by the Court That the words Give for Mony Grant for Mony Confirm for Mony Agree for Mony Covenant for Mony If the Deed be duly Inrolled that the Lands pass both by the Statute of Vses and by the Statute of Inrollments as well as upon the words of Bargain and Sale. And by Catline Wray and Whiddon the party ought to take by way
months given to the Patron that he provide another Clerk in the mean time And there is a good Case in 14 H. 7. which was long debated Where the Ordinary commanded the Clerk to come to him afterwards to be examined because the Ordinary had then other business And there the better Opinion of the Book is That it was a good Plea for the Ordinary That he did not refuse the Clerk but that the Clerk did not return to him again and that the 6 months passed so as he made the Collation and that the Patron made his presentation too late so as he had not convenient time to examine him Then in the Case at Bar It was moved That when the Ability and Disability of the Clerk came in Question by whom the same should be tryed because in the Case here the Bishop of York was a party to the Suit Whether by the Metropolitan of York or by the Metropolitan of Canterbury And he said That as he conceived the Tryal of the Ability should be by the Metropolitan of York and not of Canterbury But he said That if the party in whom the disability was alledged was dead so as he could not be examined the Tryal of his Ability or Disability should be by the Country as it appeareth in the Book of 39 E. 3. Manwood Iustice The Cure of Souls is to be regarded and therefore if an Enfant be to make a Presentation the same shall not be stayed for his Nonage and therefore if in such case he doth surcease and shall not present his Clerk the Law which regardeth more the Cure of Souls than the Enfancy will permit that the Ordinary shall collate to the Church if a Presentment thereto be not made within the six months And he said That if the Patron should present one but a week before the end of the six months and the Ordinary should refuse him for disability If the Patron should have other six months then next after he might then likewise present an Enfant or other disabled person to the Ordinary and so detract the time by fraud and so the Lapse by such great fraud should never devolve to the Ordinary and so the Cure should be unserved And so the Issue would be and arise upon the conveniency of the time And as to that which hath been said concerning the Ability and Disability of the Clerk I conceive the same shall be tryed by the Metropolitan of Canterbury and not by the Metropolitan of York Mounson to that intent and he said There is a good case in 14 H. 7. 21. which is a short case and not the Case which hath been vouched by which it appeareth that the presentment that shall be within 6 months shall be accompted from the time of the Avoydance and not from the time of the presentment by the whole Court And there it is said That the Ordinary shall give notice to the Patron if he be a Lay-man of the Disability of the Clerk but not if he be a Spiritual person But if the party Presentee be Criminous of that the Patron shall take as well notice as the Ordinary And afterwards the Lord Dyer caused the Record to be read and it did not appear therein at what day the Presentment was made to the Ordinary which ought to have been shewed for the great point of the Case doth rest here upon the time of the Presentment if it were before a week that the six months were ended or not Also the Ordinary saith in his Bar That the Clerk was insufficient and that he gave notice to the Plaintiff and that Nullam idoneam personam praesentavit And the Court said That that was no good manner of pleading but it had been better if it had been Nullam etiam personam idoneam praesentavit and the first form would be a Jeosail Manwood said That the time of the notice given to the Patron ought to be alledged because if the Patron sends his Clerk within a month after the Avoydance and the Ordinary will not give notice to the Patron in the mean time the same shall not be any default in the Patron And as to the notice given to the Patron he said the same was well pleaded and it shall be intended that it was given to the person of the Patron And as to the words in the Declaration scil tunc vacantem they are but void words because nothing is spoken before of any time And the Incumbent pleaded the same Plea as the Ordinary pleaded And Dyer asked If the Incumbent were Person impersonee for that none should plead that Plea but he who is Parson in fact and Incumbent LXVII Mich. 15 Eliz.

THe Case was That an Information was exhibited into the Court of Common Pleas for the Queen and the party upon a Penal Law And a Subpoena issued forth against two one of them was served with the Writ and the other not and now a new Subpoena was prayed against him who was not served And Dyer Iustice conferred with his Companions and the Prothonotary and demanded of them If the Plaintiff might Exhibit an Information in this Court Who answered That he might for this is a Court of Record and the Statute Law limiteth That it may be exhibited in any of the Queens Courts of Record Then he demanded of them If a Subpoena lay out of this place And Whetley Prothonotary said That it did Dyer said It is a strange thing to have an Attachment at the first day Manwood said In this Court it is the common usage upon an Audita Querela to award a Venire facias against the Conusee Dyer said to the Prothonotaries Advise with your selves against the morrow What Process hath been used to issue forth upon the Presidents of Information which have been before this time If a Subpoena shall be awarded And afterwards it was said by Gawdy who moved for it That he might have a Subpoena upon this matter LXVIII Mich. 15 Eliz.

IN an Ejectione firmae the Case was thus King Henry the 8th was seised of certain Lands and by his Letter Patents granted the same to Thomas Holt for life the remainder to John Holt his Son who in truth was a Bastard and the Letters Patents were Ex certa scientia mero motu c. And because the Plaintiff did suppose that the same was not a good Purchase he tooke a Lease from the Queen of the Lands intending to make void the Letters Patents because the Defendant was nullius filius And what difference there was in such a Case in Case of the
him any other surety for his Debt he is contented so to do And John Stampe offered to the said P. the said B. and C. and he accepted the same and at the request of the said John Stampe granted his Interest to them 2 Feb. 22 Eliz. P. having notice of the Grant before made to the said G. Vpon which G. enformed against P. upon the Statute of 32 H. 8. It was holden in this Case by Periam and Meade Iustice That P. was not within the penalty of the Statute For P. granted his Interest to B. and C. at the suit and at the request of John Stampe who was the Mortgager for assurance of his Debt which he ought to them And therefore it shall not be intended that that Grant was made for any maintenance or for any unlawful cause against the Statute And also John Stampe who granted unto P. had possession and received the Issues and Profits of the said Lands for a whole year before the Grant notwithstanding that he was not in possession by a whole year next before the day of the date of the Grant. Godb. 450. As if a Man be in possession or hath received the Issues and Profits for a whole year and afterwards a stranger enters upon him and hath the possession for the space of a Quarter of a year or half a year yet he who was in possession by a year before may grant his Interest without danger of the Statute c.

In the Common Pleas. WAste was brought by F. and his Wife against Pepy and declared That the said Pepy was seised and enfeoffed certain persons to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of the Wife of the Plaintiff and her Heirs The Defendant pleaded That the said Feoffment was to the use of himself and his Heirs in Fee c. absque hoc that it was to the uses as in the Count Vpon which they were at Issue And it was found by Verdict That the said Feoffment was to the uses contained in the Count but further found That the Estate of the Defendant by the Limitation of the use was priviledged with the impunity of Waste scil without Impeachment of Waste It was moved If upon that Verdict The Plaintiff should have Iudgment Anderson and Rhodes Iustices conceived That he should for that the matter in Issue is found for the Plaintiff and that is the Feoffment to uses contained in the Count and this impunity of Waste is a Forreign matter not within the Charge of the Iury and therefore the finding of the same is but matter of surplusage As if I plead a Feoffment of J. S. to which the other pleads That he did not enfeoff and the Iury find a Conditional Feoffment the Court shall not respect the finding of the Condition for it was not in Issue and no advantage shall be ever had of such a Liberty if it be not pleaded 30 H. 8.

Vpon which Issue was taken And it was found That neither the Tenant nor he who prayed to be received had any thing in the Land. And in that Case The Court did not regard the matter which was superfluous in the Verdict For they were at Issue upon a point certain scil whether the Tenant was seised in Fee For it is confessed of the one side and of the other that he had an Estate for life and of that matter the Iury was not charged and they are not to enquire of that And so it is found against the Demandant by which the Resceit was granted See 7 H. 6. 20.

That the Lands were Copy-hold Lands That the Custom of the Mannor was That Quaelibet Foemina Viro Co-operta poterit
devise Lands of which she was seised of an Estate of Inheritance in Fee simple according to the Custom to her Husband And also Surrender the same in the presence of the Steward and 6 other of the Tenants And it was further found That one J.S. was seised of the Copy-hold Lands wherein the Trespass was And that he had Issue 2 Daughters and died seised of the said Lands And that after his Decease his two Daughters entred into the said Lands and afterwards they both took Husbands And that afterwards one of the said Daughters made a Will in writing and by her said Will in the presence of the Steward and six of the Tenants she Devised her part of the said Copy-hold Lands to her Husband and his Heirs and at the next Court surrendred the said Copy-hold Lands in the presence of the Steward and six other of the Tenants to the uses in her Will expressed and shortly after she died and that after her death her Husband was admitted to the said part of her Lands who continued the possession thereof And the Husband of the other Daughter and his Wife entred upon him Vpon whom he re-entred And the Husband brought Trespass This Case was argued at the Bar by Rhodes And he said That the Custom was not good neither for the Devise nor for the Surrender First for the incertainty of the Estate what Estate she might Devise for that is not expressed in the Custom but generally that she might Devise her Copyhold Lands of Inheritance without expressing for what Estate And secondly the Custom is not good for that it is against reason that the Wife should surrender to the use of her Husband And that a Custom to devise is not good where it is incertain he vouched many Cases As 13 E. 3. tit Dum fuit infra aetatem 3. The Tenant said That the Lands lay in the County of Dorset where the Custom is That an Enfant might make a Grant or a Feoffment when he could number 12 d. and because it is incertain when he could do it It was holden to be a void Custom So 19 E. 2. tit Gard. 127. In a Ravishment of Ward It was alledged that the Custom was That when an Enfant could measure an Ell of Cloath or number 12 d. that he should be out of Ward And it was holden to be a void Custom for the incertainty Also he said That in the principal Case the Custom was void for that it was against reason that the Wife should surrender to her Husband for every Surrender is a Gift and a Woman cannot give unto her Husband for the Wife hath not any disposing Will but the Will of her Husband only And therefore the Case is in 21 E. 3. That if the Husband be seised of Lands in the right of his Wife and he maketh a Feoffment in Fee of the Lands and the Wife being upon the Lands doth disagree and saith She will not depart with the Land during her life yet the Feoffment is a good Feoffment and shall bind the Wife during the life of the Husband And see 3 E. 3. Br. tit Devise 43. That a Feme Covert cannot Devise to her Husband for that should be the Act of the Husband to convey the Lands to himself And whereas the Case in 29 E. 3. was Objected against him where the Case was That a Woman being seised of Land deviseable took a Husband and had Issue by him and the Wife Devised her Lands to her Husband for his life and died and a Writ of Waste was afterwards brought against him And it was there holden That the Writ did lie He said That that Case did make rather for him than against him for that Case proves that the Husband did not take the Land by vertue of the Devise in his own right but that he held the Lands having Issue by the Wife as Tenant by the Courtesie and so under another Title and therefore it appeareth that the Writ of Waste was there brought against him as Tenant by the Courtesie Also he said That the Devise was void by the Statute of 34 H. 8. Cap. 5. where it is Enacted That Wills and Testaments made of any Lands Tenements c. by Women Coverts shall not be good or effectual in the Law and he said That that Statute did extend to Copyhold Lands But as to that all the Iustices did agree That Copyhold Lands were not within the words of that Statute But Anderson said That the Equity of that Act did extend to Copyholds And further Anderson said That the Prescription or Custom in the principal Case was not good for it is layed to be That Quaelibet Foemina Viro Co-operta poterit and it ought to be potest and by the Custom have used to Devise to the Husband And a Prescription must be in a thing done and not in posse Also he said That the Custom if it were good is not well pursued For the Custom is that she may Devise and Surrender in the presence of the Steward and six Tenants and that must be intended to be done all at one time for the words of a Custom are to be performed if it may be but in the principal case the Devise is laid to be at one time and the Surrender at another time and so it is not in pursuance of the Custom But to that it was not answered But then it was said Admit that the Custom to devise and the Devise were not good yet the Action did not lie against the Defendant because that the Husband was admitted and his Entry into the Land was countenanced by a lawful Ceremony and also he was Tenant in Common with the other Husband by such Entry It was adjourned CXXIII Rosse's Case Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN Trespass brought by Rosse for breaking of his Close and beating of his Servant and carrying away of his Goods Post 94. Vpon Not guilty pleaded the Iury found this special matter scil That Sir Thomas Bromley Chancellor of England was seised of the Land where c. and leased the same to the Plaintiff and one A. which A. assigned his moyety to Cavendish by whose Commandment the Defendant entred It was moved That that Tenancy in Common betwixt the Plaintiff and him in whose right the Defendant justified could not be given in Evidence and so it could not be found by Verdict but it ought to have been pleaded at the beginning But the whole Court were clear of another Opinion and that the same might be given in Evidence well enough It was further moved against the Verdict That the same did not extend to all the points in the Declaration but only to the breaking of the Close without enquiry of the battery c. And for that cause it was clearly holden by the Court That the Verdict was void And a Venire facias de novo was awarded CXXIV Absolon and Andertons Case Mich. 25 26 Eliz. Rot. 479. In the Kings
Bench. WIlliam Absolon Master of the Savoy and the Chaplains there brought Debt against Anderton The Case was That the said Master and Chaplains leased Lands to the Defendant for certain years and afterwards he accepted of them an Indenture of Bargain and Sale to him and his Heirs by express words of Bargain and Sale without other words And one of the Masters of the Chancery within the 6 months came unto them into their Chapter-house and before him they acknowledged the said Indenture to be their Deed and prayed that it be enrolled which was done accordingly It was moved If that acknowledgment and Enrollment were good or not or if the Master and the Chaplains ought to have appointed one by their Warrant to be their Attorny to acknowledge the said Deed And it was also moved 1 Len. 184. If there needed any Enrollment at all of it because Anderton had then an Interest in the Land for years in which case it is to be considered If the words Barganizavi Vendidi shall be of such effect as the words Dedi Concessi And it was said by the Court That a Warrant of Attorny to acknowledge a Deed were a strange thing And it was agreed That the Indenture being once Inrolled it was not material by what means it was Inrolled but was good being done CXXV Savell and Badcocks Case Mich. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. SAvell brought an Action of Trespass against Badcock and declared That Edw. Savell was seised of the Mannor of D. and leased the same for years to Henry Savell who died having made the Plaintiff his Executor who entred and was possessed until the first day of January at which time the Trespass was done The Defendant pleaded Not guilty And it was given in Evidence on the Plaintiffs part That the said Ed. Savell was seised and leased to the said Henry Savell for years who so possessed reciting the said Lease Demised the said Mannor to Sir William Cordell Master of the Rolls to have to him immediately after the decease of the said Henry for so many years of the said Term which at the time of his death should be unexpired if Dorothy the Wife of the said Henry should so long live Henry died Sir William Cordell entred Dorothy died within the Term the Plaintiff the Executor of Henry entred and was possessed until the first day of Januarii 23 Eliz. at which day the Trespass was done On the Defendants part it was given in Evidence That after the Grant to Sir William Cordell the said Henry and Edward joyned in a fine Sur Conusans de droit c. to a stranger who granted and rendred the Land to the said Henry and his Heirs who devised the same to the said Dorothy his Wife for life the remainder to Cordell Savell in tail the remainder over and died Dorothy entred and died Cordell Savell 22 Eliz. conveyed the Mannor by Fine to one Williamson who entred and afterwards and before the Trespass aforesaid viz. 14 January 23 Eliz. leased to the Defendant for years by force of which the Defendant entred And upon this Evidence there was a Demurrer in Law. And it was argued by Shuttleworth who was made Serjeant the last Term. And he said That the Demise made by Henry Savell is not in the inconveniency of the maxim that Henry by the said Grant should reserve a lesser Estate to himself than he had before For here by this Grant no present interest passeth by Sir William Cordell but the effect of the Grant rests upon a Contingency scil if he himself dieth within the Term c. until which time the whole interest of the Term doth remain in the said Henry Savell subject to the Contingency aforesaid and amounts to so much as if the said Henry had granted the same to Sir William Cordell if he himself should die within the Term in which Case it is a limitation when the said Grant shall take effect As if I grant unto you my Lease for so many years as J.S. shall name the same is a good Grant to take effect upon the naming of J.S. Then the Case being so When Henry Savell the Lessee and Edward Savell the Lessor joyn in a Fine ut supra now the possibility of the remnant of the Term which upon the death of Henry Savell and Dorothy his Wife within the Term might accrue to the Executors of the said Henry Savell is not extinct by the Fine but doth remain Quodam modo in Henry Savell to vest in his Executors if it should happen And here is not any conclusion by the Fine in this Case for Henry at the time of the Fine had not in him any Interest which is now claimed and so cannot be bound by the Fine For the Interest in respect of which the Plaintiff hath cause of Action begineth after the death of Henry who levied the Fine and first accrueth to his Executors and so shall not be touched by the Fine and therefore if such a Lessee for years granteth his Term to J.S. Proviso That if J.S. dieth within the Term that he himself shall have it again and afterwards the Grantor joyns with his Lessor in a Fine and afterwards within the Term J.S. dieth now the Grantor notwithstanding the Fine shall have the residue of the Term Then when the Conusee by the Fine regrants the Land to Henry in Fee that possibility to have after the death of the Donor cannot be drowned in the Fee simple for the reason aforesaid And then when Henry deviseth the same to his Wife that possibility doth pass to Dorothy because it was never in the Devisor and then when Dorothy dieth within the Term the Residue of the said Term shall accrue to the Plaintiff as Executor of Henry Cook contrary And he held The Grant to Sir William Cordell is utterly void And he agreed That Grants although in themselves they be uncertain yet if they may be reduced to certain they are good but here is no expectance of any certainty in the life of Henry for the Term limited to Sir William Cordell is not to begin till the death of Henry and is to end upon the death of Dorothy so as here is not any certain beginning nor certain end and here this Grant cannot be reduced to any Certainty during the life of the Grantor and so for that cause is void See Plow Com. 6 Eliz. Say and Fullers Case 273. by Weston Iustice If A. makes a Lease for so many years as J.S. shall name if J.S. in the life of A. name a certain number of years then the Lease is good but if the Lease had been for so many years as my Executors shall name that can never be made good in my life And upon that reason it is That an Attornment ought to be made in the life of the Grantor or else no Reversion shall pass So 33 E. 3.

ERror was brought upon a Fine and the Error was assigned in the Proclamations Whereupon issued a Certiorari to the Custos Brevium who certified the Proclamations by which Certificate it appeared that two of the said Proclamations were made in one day upon which the Defendant prayed another Scire facias to the Chirographer in whose Office it appeared that all the Proclamations were well and duly made It was the Opinion of Wray Chief Iustice in this Case that the Defendant ought to have his preyer for the Chirographer maketh the Proclamations and he is the principal Officer as to them And the Custos Brevium hath but the abstract of the Proclamations and we may in discretion amend them upon the matter appearing But the other Iustices seemed to be of a contrary Opinion for that the Proclamations being once certified by the Custos Brevium who is the principal Officer we ought not afterwards to resort to the Chirographer who is the inferior Officer And afterwards the Clerks of the Common Pleas were examined of the matter aforesaid by the Iustices of the Kings Bench and they answered according to that which was said by Wray Chief Iustice Wherefore it was awarded by the Court that a new Certiorari be directed to the Chirographer who Certified the Proclamations to be well and duly made And thereupon the Court awarded that the Proclamations in the Office of the Custos Brevium should be amended according to the Proclamations in the Custody and the Office of the Chirographer Note In the same Case before the Writ brought a stranger had brought a Writ of Error against the same Defendant upon the same Fine upon which the transcript of the Fine and Proclamations are removed in Banco and after the Plaintiff is Non-suit Now another who hath Cause may have a Writ of Error quod coram vobis residet CLVIII Taverner and Cromwell's Case Trin. 26 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. UPon an Evidence unto a Iury 3 Cro. 353. containing difficulty and matter in Law it was found viz. that the Bishop of Norwich 10 H. 8. was seised of the Mannor of Northelman in the right of his Bishoprick and at his Court holden within the same Mannor granted parcel of the Demesnes of the said Mannor to one Taverner and his Heirs where of the said Land in truth there was not any Demise by Copy before And so the said Land continued in Copy until 23 H. 8. at which time Taverner committed a forfeiture which being presented the Bishop seised the Land as forfeited and granted the same again by Copy to Taverner in Fee And so from thence it continued in Copy until 8 Eliz. which Interval between 23 H. 8. and 8 Eliz. amounted to 47 years It was the Opinion of the whole Court in this Case that the Continuance for 50 years is requisite to fasten a Customary Condition upon the Land against the Lord. It was also agreed by the Court that although the Original Commencement and that Customary Interest did commence 10 H. 8. ut supra from which time unto 8 Eliz. 60 years passed yet the seisure for a forfeiture which happened 23 H. 8. interrupted utterly the Continuance from the time which might by the Law have perfected the Customary Interest So
been Objected that J. cannot be said to die within the Term because by the descent of the Fee the Term is extinct or suspended and so not in esse at the time of the death of J. therefore nothing did accrue to G. because J. did not die within the Term but that is but a Conceit for the intent of Vincent was that the Heir should not meddle with the Land Devised as Heir until the 31 years be expired and words During or Within the Term extend unto the time of the Term and not unto the Estate And although that the Term as to J. be extinct yet the right or possession of G. shall stand and shall be expectant upon the death of J. before the expiration of the said 31 years As A. leaseth for life to B. and afterwards granteth the Reversion with Warranty to C. who releaseth to B. in Fee who is impleaded in a Praecipe although now B. hath a Feesimple yet during his life he shall not recover in value And in the principal Case This further Interest limited to G. cannot be extinct or prevented See Plow Com. Welden and Elkingtons Case Beaumont contrary And that the Term is extinct because he hath the said Term in his own right and not as Executor but as a Man trusted with payment of Debts and Legacies But the same Term which J. had G. cannot have for some of the years are expired and the words of the Will are He shall have such Term but here the Term is utterly extinct As where a Rent Common or Way c. descendeth upon the Ter-Tenant 2 H. 4. A Prior had an Annuity out of a Parsonage and afterwards he purchaseth the Advowson which is afterwards appropriated to his House now the Annuity is extinct and although the Prior afterwards presenteth to the Advowson yet it is-not revived Br. Extinguishment 54. A Man hath a Lease for years as Executor and purchaseth the Inheritance his Term is extinct yet it is Assets c. And it is said in Bracebridges Case Plow Com. 419. 14 Eliz. that Parson Patron and Ordinary Lease for years the Glebe Lands of the Parsonage the Parson dieth the Lessee for years becomes Parson and dieth his Executors shall not have the residue of the said Term for the Term is extinct 1 Inst 338. b. 2 Roll. 472. although he had the Term in his own right and the Freehold in the right of his Church and so in several Capacities And it was holden by some that if the Term for years comes to the Lessor as Executor who dieth the Term is revived Manwood Chief Baron asked this Case of those who Argued A Lease is made for 21 years Proviso That the Lessee shall suffer the Lessor to enjoy the same or to take the profits thereof during the life of the Lessor or so long as the Lessor shall live if the same were a good Proviso or not Pigot Conceived that the Devise to G. was a new Devise and not dependant upon the first Devise to J. nor any parcel of it but this second Devise to G. did take away the absolute Devise to J. before and qualified it so as it determined with his death The words Such Estate shall be intended an Estate to G. to be granted from the death of the Testator Land is Devised to A. and his Heirs and he if dieth without Heir that it shall remain to another the same is no good Devise But a Devise to one and his Heirs and if J.S. dieth living the Devisee B. shall have it the same is good for it is a new Devise and an Estate created de Novo and doth not depend as a Remainder upon the first Devise or upon the first Estate devised as the Case is 29 Ass 17. Br. Condition 111. and Devise 16. So here are several Estates limited one to J. and another to G. which Estate of G. cannot be extinct by unity of possession in J. These words If he die within the Term shall be construed for Effluxion of the time of 31 years and not for the Termination of the Term. Cooper Serjeant to the contrary J. took this Term as purchasor and not as Executor for that no Term was in the Testator See 14 Eliz. Dyer 309. Granmer's Case G. shall have such Term and Interest as before I have willed unto J. Manwood Such Term that is to say The Residue of the Term. Now at another day the Barons delivered their Opinions that the Plaintiff should recover and that was now G. to whom the second Term was devised And by Manwood in Construction of Wills all the words of the Will are to be compared together so as there by not any repugnancy between all the parts of the Will or between any of them so that all may stand And the Intent of the Testator was That his Son J. should have the Lands for 31 years if he so long lived and if he died within the Term That G. his Son should have such Term. And he held That the same was in J. an Estate by Limitation and he could not sell it nor could it be extinct by Act in Law or of the Law. It was a Lease determinable by his death and so shall be the Lease of G. determinable upon his own death and G. upon the death of J. within the Term shall have the residue of the number of the years limited by the former Devise scil so many in number as were not expired in the life of J. who was first Executor to that special purpose Gent Baron to the same intent here he hath the same Term as Executor and it is not like a-Term devised which the party hath as Legatee but in our Case he hath only authority in this Lease as Executor and the Land was tied to the time and the Authority and when the same determines in his person then the Land departs from him to G. who was a special Executor to that purpose as J. was before And G. had not the same Term which J. had but such a Term. Clerk Baron acc And he said that the Will was further that if G. died before his Debts paid and his Will performed and the Iury finding all the special matter concluded that if the Term limited to J. be extinct then they find for the Defendant And he held clearly that J. had this Term of 21 years as Executor and that by the discent of the Inheritance to J. the Term as to himself was gone But as to Creditors and to the Legatees it shall be said in esse and be Assets in his hands And because that the Term as to that purpose shall be said in esse he died within the Term within the intent of the said Will. And this word Term is Vox polysema Terminus status Terminus temporis Terminus loci And in our Case the word Term hath reference to time and not to estate for the Testator did respect the time in which his Will might be performed
created by this Will but the Feesimple setled in them when they came at their lawful age and had Issue so as the residue of the Devise was void and Iudgment was given accordingly CLXVI Griffith and Agard's Case Mich. 27 Eliz.

For that a Fine was levied of a Messuage being Ancient Demesne by which it became frank-Frank-Fee and the Fine was levied in the life of A.

But the Exception was disallowed by the Court For if he were not damnified ratione dimissionis then he was not damnified by reason of any Claim or Interest Another Exception was taken Because he could not now say there was no such Lease For it is recited in the Obligation That J.

Part 54. CLXXIX Nelson's Case Pasch 27 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN Trespass brought by Nelson chief Preignothory of the Court of Common Pleas the Case was That the Abbot of D. was seised of a Common out of the Lands of the Abby of S. as appendant unto certain Lands of the said Abby of D. And afterwards the said Houses were dissolved and the possessions of them given to the King by Act of Parliament to have and hold in as large and ample manner and form as the late Abbots c. After which the King so being seised granted the said possessions of the said Abby of D. to A. and the possessions of the said Abby of S. to B. It was argued That the Common notwithstanding the unity of possession did continue For unity of possession is so qualified and restrained by the Statute by the words aforesaid and also by the words in the state and condition as they now be And the Abbot of D. was seised in the right of his House of the said Common Therefore so also shall be the King and his Patentees and so a special seisin is given to the King. Rhodes Windham and Anderson Iustices to the contrary And the said words in the said Statute are to be construed according to the Law and no further And by the Law the said Common cannot stand against the Vnity of possession CLXXX Leonard's Case Trin. 28 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 2 Len. 192. 2 Roll. 787. LEonard Custos Brevium brought an Action of Trespass for breaking of his Close The Defendant pleaded That William Heydon was seised and enfeoffed him And upon Ne enfeffa pas they were at Issue And it was found by Special Verdict That the said William Heydon was seised and leased to the Defendant for years and afterwards made a Charter of Feoffment to him by these words Dedi Concessi with a Warrant of Attorny in it and delivered the same to the said Lessee who delivered the same to him who was made Attorny in the said Deed who made Livery accordingly It was moved by the Plaintiff's Counsel That here is not any Feoffment found but only a Confirmation For as soon as the Charter was delivered to the Lessee for years the Law gave it its operation to that effect to vest the Fee in the Lessee by way of Confirmation See Litt. 532. But the Opinion of the whole Court was clear to the contrary for here the Lessee hath liberty how and by what Conveyance he shall be adjudged seised of the Land either by Feoffment or by Confirmation And it appeareth here That when the Lessee delivered the Charter to the Attorny And also when the Lessee accepted Livery from the Attorny he declared his meaning to be That he would take by the Livery And the Lord Anderson said That if Tenant in tail be disseised and makes a Charter-Feoffment with a Warranty of Attorny and delivers the same to the Disseisor who delivers the same to the Attorny who makes Livery accordingly the same is a good Feoffment and so a Discontinuance And after many Motions the Court awarded That the Plaintiff should be barred CLXXXI Palmer and Waddington's Case Trin. 28 Eliz.

More Rep. 221. 1 Cro. 15. IT was found by Special Verdict That Thomas Higham was seised of 100 Acres of Lands called Jacks usually occupied with a House And that he Leased the said House and 40 Acres of the said 100 Acres to J.S. for life and made his Will by which he devised the said House and all his Lands called Jacks then in the Occupation of J.S. to his Wife for life and that after the decease of his Wife the Remainder thereof and of all his other Lands appertaining to Jacks to Richard his second Son c. It was said by Meade That the Wife should not have by Implication the Residue of Jacks for that she hath an express estate in the House and 40 Acres of the Land and her Husband having expressed his Will as to that his Will shall not be construed by Implication to pass other Lands to the Wife And it was said by him That it had been adjudged in the Case between Tracy and Glover That if Lands be devised to one and to his Heirs and if he dieth without Heir of his body 1 Roll. 839. that then the Land shall remain over that in such case the Donee hath but an Estate in tail to him and the Heirs males of his body And it was then also said by Anderson Chief Iustice That in the time of Sir Anthony Brown it was holden That if a Man be seised of two Acres of Land and devised one of them to his Wife for life and that J.S. shall have the other Acre after the death of his Wife that the Wife
of the Lands of their Wives By the general words of the Statute they might have made Leases in Reversion And therefore the Case there was That where the Husband had made a Lease of his Wives Lands for 21 years and afterwards he made another Lease for 21 years to begin after the Lease in esse It was conceived That such a Lease was good because in the Act there was no restraint of Leases in Reversion as there is in the Statute of 32 H. 8. In all Cases of Statutes which are with Provisoes the Law upon them shall be taken generally but in such Particulars only as are restrained by the Proviso and here in this Case the Proviso went to the Ancient Rent to be reserved and that the Countess should have remedy for the said Rent and therefore it shall be construed at large as unto all other points which are not restrained by the Proviso As if the Wife be within age and she and her Husband joyn in a Lease yet such a Lease shall be good by the Statute of 32 H. 8. because the Law is general and doth not restrain these imperfections expresly So if a Feoffment in Fee be made with warranty Proviso That he shall not vouch yet that restraint goes to the Voucher only and he is at large to Rebutt or to have a Warrantia Chartae A Lease is made for life Proviso That he shall not do voluntary Waste he is at large to do any other Waste Otherwise it would be if there were no Proviso and there a Proviso makes the precedent words to be expounded more liberally The Stat. of 33 H. 8. Cap. 39. of Surveyors which giveth authority to the Chief Officer to set or let for 21 years he might have made a Lease for 21 years if by the Proviso he had not been restrained and yet the words are put singularly But the words of this Act upon which the Case in Question doth arise are Lease or Leases and therefore it shall be expounded most liberally for the party Again he argued That as to the intent of the Statute that this Lease was within the meaning of it for the meaning is to be collected out of the words and shall not be drawn to any private construction or intent against the words which should be here if this Lease should be avoided For by such construction and exposition the Earl his Heirs Executors c. should be prejudiced and the Countess only should be benefited Also by this Act remedy is given to the Countess against such Lessees that she should have the Rent by Debt or Distress as if she had been party or privy therefore it is reason via versa that the Lessees have remedy against her for their Leases Also he said That the same remedy should be for them against the Countess as they had against the Earl himself if he had been alive and therefore they should have such remedy against the Countess as they had against the Earl. And further he said That the Statute is to be expounded according to the words where such an Exposition is not rigorous nor mischievous And private Laws are to be expounded by the letter and strictly as the Deed of the party shall be As 14 E 4. 1. Br. Parliament 61. A Particular Act was made That the Chancellor calling unto him one Iustice might award a Subpena between A. and B. and end the matter betwixt them And there by all the Iustices except Littleton He shall not award a general Subpena but a special Subpena making mention of the Act for he shall pursue the particular Act strictly But an Act which is for the common profit shall be expounded largely Also a Statute shall not be expounded largely or by Equity to overthrow an Estate As the Statute which gives That if the Woman doth consent to the Ravisher that the next Heir shall enter If the Daughter entreth and after a Son is born he shall not put out the Daughter because the Statute shall not be drawn to a private intent to the overthrow of the Estate before lawfully vested in the Daughter And so in the principal Case the Statute shall not be drawn to a private intent for the benefit of the Countess to overthrow the Lease for years And it is not like to the Case which hath been put That if he maketh a Lease for 20 years and so for 20 years that the same is not good by the Statute For I will agree That that is a Lease for 40 years Egerton Sollicitor contrary First as to the word Demise or Dimission it is nothing else but the letting of the Land and so Lease comes from Laiser a French word and such a Lease it self for he hath not left the Land. As if I say to you I Let you my Lands for 21 years When shall you have my Land Not at a day to come but presently If I sell you Land and Covenant that it is discharged of another Lease for 21 years and there is a Lease to Commence after the Lease for 21 years I have broken my Covenant If I be bounden to make you a Lease for 21 years and I say to you I make you a Lease to begin 200 years hence I have forfeited my Bond. If the Custom of the Mannor be that Dominus pro tempore may make a Lease for 21 years may he make a Lease to begin at a day to come Truly no if there be not a special Custom so to do If I give authority to my Steward to make Leases of my Lands for 21 years he cannot make a Lease to begin 100 years after As to the Case of the Dutchy there the Commission was That he might make Leases according to his discretion therefore there he might make what Lease he pleaseth As to the Statute which enableth Cestuy que Use of 1 R. 3. that Case is not like to our Case for that Act is All Feoffments Estates c. therefore he might make such Leases without doubt And if I devise That my Executors shall make Leases of my Lands for 21 years they cannot make Leases to begin at a day to come and if they do not make the Leases within convenient time the Heir shall enter and avoid their authority And Statute-Law shall have such an Exposition as that the precise time ought to be observed As the Statute of 14 E. 3. Rastal Voucher 8. If the Tenant voucheth to warranty a dead Man and the Demandants will aver That the Vouchee is dead or that there is no such their Averment shall be received without more delay Vpon this Statute the Case was 21 E. 3. Whereone was vouched to warranty and the Summoneas ad Warrantizandum issued and then came the Demandant and would have averred That the Vouchee was dead And the Tenant said That he ought to have averred that upon the voucher to warranty and that now he had surceased his time And the Demandant said That the Statute did
Lease for years by the Countess of Oxford to the Queen One Error was assigned because whereas the Issue was joyned upon the Intrusion and the taking of the profits and so two matters put in Issue and the Iury have found Payn guilty of the Intrusion but have said nothing of the taking of the profits and so the Verdict doth not meet fully with the Issue The great matter of the Case was upon this Point The Information is That the Assignment of the Queen was 16 Maii the Intrusion 17 Maii the Inrollment of the Deed of Assignment 18 Maii And so it appeared upon the Record that the Intrusion is supposed to be done before that the Queen had any Interest in the Land in which the Intrusion is supposed for nothing was in the Queen before the Enrollment For the Queen is a Corporation of State of such Prerogative and Excellency That she cannot give or take an Interest in Land without matter of Record And this Lease is a Chattel-real and an Interest in Land. See as to the Inrollment 1 H. 7. 30. 31. 5 E. 4. 7. 7 E. 4. 16. But I agree That if Lessee for years be Outlawed the Lease shall be in the King without Office for the Outlawry it self is a sufficient Record to entitle the King unto it If the Queen makes a Lease for years of Lands rendring Rent with a Clause That if the Rent be behind that the Lease shall cease if the Rent be not paid It was agreed here in Sir Moile Finch's Case That the Lessee continuing his possession shall not be accounted an Intruder before Office thereof found but he shall be Accomptant to the Queen for the profits as Bailiff of his own wrong but here we are charged with Intrusion It hath been doubted If personal things are in the King without Office 37 H. 6. But now it is clear they are As 35 E. 3. Br. Prerogat 113. The Villein of the King purchaseth goods the property thereof is in the King without seisure and so it is of all personal Chattels because they are transitory 1 H. 7. 17. 4 H. 7. 1. 39 H. 6. 26. And here it appeareth upon the Record that this Deed of Assignment was delivered to Baron Clark 16 May at Westm and that was Ascension-day and so non dies Juridicus and so no Court there then holden and then the said Deed was not delivered in Court of Record and then not delivered to him as a Iudge but as a private person although that it was delivered to the use of the Queen But in 37 H. 6. there is some Opinion That if such a Deed be delivered in Court to one of the Barons or be put into the Kings Coffers that then it is a Record Atkins to the contrary And to the first Exception It is to be known That in every Plea where a Contempt is laid to the charge of the Defendant he ought first to excuse his Contempt And therefore here the Exordium of the Plea is Quoad venire vi armis quicquid est in Contemptu Dominae Reginae necnon de tota ulteriore transgressione Contemptu per ipsos supposit Quod ipse in nullo est inde Culpabilis And afterwards plead over And so it is in an Action of Trespass And also upon the Statute of 8 H. 6. of Forcible Entry and here the Issue upon the Contempt doth ensue the other Issue For if the other Issue is found against the Defendant so also is this As to the other point I agree That a Corporation cannot take or speak without writing And the King being a Corporation and who only makes Corporations cannot take but by writing of as high a nature scil by Record And we have here a Record as is granted by the other side being enrolled 18 May which was delivered 16 May and being once enrolled it hath relation to the time of the delivery i. e. to 16 May And then Payn upon the whole matter was an Intrudor 17 May and an Intrudor by his Entry doth not gain any thing against the Queen and therefore the Information of the Intrusion is diversis diebus vicibus intrusit althought it be but one continued possession and therefore every Instant during his possession he is an Intrudor As to the delivery of the Deed of Assignment upon the day of the Ascension which is not dies Juridicus that is not material As 12 E. 4. 8. by Pigot If the day of Retorn of a Writ i. e. 4 to die falls upon a Sunday it is good enough although no Court can then be holden but the day following and the Plea is not discontinued And this delivery of the Deed of Assignment might be made out of Term there upon any day in the Term which is not dies Juridicus Contrary where the thing is of necessity to be done in the Term as in the Case between Fish and Brocket of Proclamations made upon a Fine For a Man may acknowledge a Recognizance or a Deed to be enrolled in the time of Vacation c. Tanfield As to the Interest the Enrollment hath relation not as to the profits for Payn cannot be Intrudor 17 May by any Relation Popham The Queens Attorny When an Information of Intrusion and taking of the profits is here exhibited the Defendant ought to justifie his Entry and if the Entry be found against him so as his Entry is an Intrusion then the illegal taking of the profits is found also And he said That the Deed acknowledged and delivered to the Baron is a Record although not enrolled be the acknowledgment thereof in Court or out of Court. If an Information upon a penal Law be exhibited to a Baron of the Exchequer out of Court and afterwards another Informer exhibits another Information upon the same Statute for the same Offence against the same person and that is exhibited in the Court before the first The first Information shall be preferred and the Defendant shall answer to that and not to the other and for exhibiting the same in Court or out of Court it is not material And the Assignment when it is enrolled hath relation unto the acknowledging of it A Reversion is granted to one for life the Remainder to the King the particular Tenant attorns to the King the Remainder is not in the King by the Attornment but if the Deed be afterwards enrolled it shall be said to be in the King from the time of the Attornment And the King shall have the benefit of all the mean profits from the time of the Attornment A Lease for years is made by the King reserving Rent with a clause That if the Rent be not paid that the Lease shall be void the Rent is not paid 10 years after an Office is found the King shall be answered all the profits from the time of default in payment of the Rent And although no Intrusion can be laid in the Information 17 May yet it shall be good for
Issue in tail may enter upon the Conusee of a Statute acknowledged by his Father For if Execution had been sued against the Issue in tail it had been a Disseisin And see 2 R. 3. 7. That in such case the Wife or her Heirs may enter upon the Conusee And by Consequence the Conusee who is in by her c. Cook contrary I conceive that this Grant of this Lease by Sir Thomas Cotton to his Son is not good 2 Roll. 48 1 Cro. 15. 1 Inst 22. b. for it is but a possibility and no Interest I agree all the Cases which have been put before for Law but they cannot be applyed to this Case The Book in 7 H. 6. 2. is That if the Term of the Wife be extended upon the Statute of the Husband that the Wife shall have the residue after the death of the Husband but it doth not say that the Wife or her Husband may grant it during the Extent which is the matter now in Question And I conceive That Sir Thomas Cotton hath but a possibility For the Conusee upon the Extent hath but an incertain Interest And although it may be by some means reduced to a certainty in the Chancery where the Costs and Damages shall be assessed yet until it be reduced to a certainty it cannot be granted And therefore it is clear That if I have a Term for 8 years in Land and grant it unto another until he hath levied 100 l. and all his Costs of suit for it by this Grant all the Interest of the Term is in the Grantee and nothing is in me but a possibility 8 Co. Mannings Case And so it was holden in the Common Pleas by the Lord Anderson the day when he was made Chief Iustice there At which time this Case was put Lands of the yearly value of 20 l. are Leased to one until he hath levied 100 l. And the matter was What estate the Grantee hath And it was holden That if Livery be not made that he hath but an estate at Will for the profits of the Lands are incertain the one year more and the other year less And Bromley Lord Chancellor was then of the same Opinion Then if in case of a Lease it be so it shall also be so in case of an Extent and in both the Cases the whole Interest is out of the parties And 19 Eliz. the Case was in this Court That the Lessee for years devised his Term to his Executors for the payment of his Debts and Legacies and after the payment of them the residue of the years he devised to his Son The Executors enter which is an assent to the remainder he in the remainder grants his Interest And it was holden void because it was but a possibility and so incertain and although it might be reduced to a Certainty afterwards yet the same is not sufficient for it ought to be reduced to a certainty at the time of the grant And 17 Eliz. in this Court the Case was That Land was given to the Husband and Wife and to the Heirs of the Husband the Husband makes a Lease for years and dieth the Wife enters and entermarrieth with the Lessee And it was moved If the Interest of the Lessee by the entermarriage was extinct And it was holden That it was not for it was but a possibility and not an Interest quod fuit concessum per totam Curiam And if a possibility cannot be extinct then it cannot be granted And he denyed the Case put by Stephens Where a Man seised of Lands Leaseth the same for years to begin at a day to come and afterwards before the day the Lessor is disseised now during that Dissesin the Grantee cannot enter for his future Interest For the Feesimple being turned into a Right so also shall be the Interest And that is proved by Delamere's Case A Feoffment in Fee was made to the use of A. for life and afterwards to the use of C. for life and afterwards to the use of D. in Fee and afterwards A. enfeoffed a stranger who had notice of the use The same doth take away all the other uses and said Feoffee although he had notice of the use yet he shall not be seised to the first use for the estate out of which the first uses do arise is taken away and then also the uses And he said also That the Lease made to Sir Thomas Cotton is not good for it was made 11 Eliz. And it is found by Verdict That 10 Eliz. a Writ of Extent issued forth upon the Statute then was the Lands in the hands of c. during which time the Lord Mount joy and his Wife could not make the Lease aforesaid to the said Sir Thomas Cotton And as to that see 5 E. 3. Retorn of the Sheriff 99. See the Case of 3 E. 6. Dyer 67. Stringfellow's Case Then admitting the Lease to Sir Thomas Cotton yet the Lessee cannot put out the Conusee without a Scire facias for the Conusee is in by matter of Record Also here this Lease made by the Husband and Wife without any Rent reserved is utterly void and then the Conusee shall take advantage of it 9 H. 7. 24 18 E. 4. 2. And so was it ruled in the Case of Seniori puero in the case of an Enfant And see 7 Eliz. Dyer 239. Where the Provost of Wells being Parson impersonee of the Patronage of W. Leased the Tythe for 50 years rendring Rent which was confirmed by the Dean and Chapter but not by the Patron and Ordinary And afterwards by Act of Parliament the Provostry was united to the Deanery cum primo vacare contigerit The Provost died the Dean accepteth the Rent The same shall not bind the Church for the Lease is void as it is of a Parson or Prebend c. And so the Dean shall take advantage of it although not privy to it See 16 Eliz. Dyer 337. Lands given to a Parson and his Successors for to find Lights and he Leaseth the same for life The Rent is so imployed accordingly The Incumbent dieth The Successor accepteth the Rent the King grants it over The Patentee shall avoid the Lease as the Successor might have done before the Statute if he had not accepted the Rent but the acceptance before the Statute shall bind the Successor for that it was but a voidable Lease And the Case between Harvy and Thomas which hath been put on the other side serves to our purpose for there the Conusee shall avoid a Lease in Law which is void and here in the Principal Case the Lease is void for that no Rent is reserved upon it Wherefore c. It was adjourned CCVI. Beadle's Case Mich. 29 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THe Case was That A. Leased to B. certain Lands for 40 l. per annum 2 Len. 115. And a stranger Covenanted with A. That B. should pay him 40 l. for the Farm and Occupation
shall plead That he had not bought modo forma For if he hath bought of A.B. or J.S. the same is not material nor traversable Which Case Cook denyed to be Law. And he also conceived That the Information upon the Quo Warranto is not sufficient For by the same the Defendant is charged to hold a Court and it is not shewed what Court For it may be a Court of Pipowders Turn c. See 10 E. 4. 15 16. acc Shute Iustice The Quo Warranto contains two things in it self 1. A Claim And 2. An usurpation and here the Defendant hath answered but to the Vsurpation but saith nothing to the Claim And it hath been holden in this Court heretofore That he ought to answer to both And he said That it hath been holden in a Reading upon the Statute of Quo Warranto which is supposed to be the Reading of Iustice Frowick That a Quo Warranto doth not lie upon such Liberties which do not lie in Claim as Felons goods c. which lieth only in point of Charter CCXXXVI Venable's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THe Case was 1 Inst 351. a. Hughs Queries 13. A Lease was made to A. and B. for their lives the remainder to Tho. Venables in tail who 3 Eliz. was attainted of Felony 23 Eliz. there was a General Pardon Tho. Venables 24 Eliz. levied a Fine and suffered a Recovery to the use of Harris Serjeant Office is found Harris traversed the Office and thereupon was a Demurrer It was argued by Leake That Traverse did not lie in this Case 4 H. 7. 7 Where the King is entituled by double matter of Record the party shall not be admitted to his Traverse nor to his Monstrans de Droit but is put to his Petition Which see 3 E. 4. 23. in the Case of the Earl of Northumberland Where Tenant of the King is Attainted of Treason and the same is found by Office. See also 11 H. 4. in the Case of the Duke of Norfolk And the same is not helped by the Statute of 2 E. 6. Cap. 8. for the words are Untruly found by Office but here the Office is true By this Attainder Tho. Venables is utterly disabled to do any Act For by Bracton a Person attainted forisfacit Patriam Regnum Haereditatem suam 13 E. 4. One was attainted of Felony And before Office found the King granted over his Lands Also he is not helped by the General Pardon For before the General Pardon he had a special Pardon therefore the General Pardon nihil operatur as to him But by the Iustices the forfeiture doth remain until the General Pardon Harris to the contrary And he put the Case of Sir James Ormond 4 H. 7. 7. Where the King is entituled by matter of Record and the subject confesseth the title of the King and avoids it by as high matter as that is for the King Traverse in that case lieth and if the King be entituled by double matter of Record if the party avoids one of the said Records by another Record he shall be admitted to his Traverse And so here we have the Pardon which is a Record and that shall avoid the Record for the King And here the Pardon hath purged the forfeiture in respect of the Offence And he said That Tenant in tail being attainted of Felony shall not lose his Lands but the profits only for he hath his Interest by the Will of the Donor and it is a Confidence reposed in him and as Walsingham's Case is he cannot grant over his Estate And see in Wroth's Case Annuity granted pro Consilio impendendo cannot be granted over or forfeited for there is a Confidence See Empson's Case Dyer 2. and 29 Ass 60. If the Issue in tail be Outlawed of Felony in the life of his Father and gets his Pardon in the life of his Father after the death of his Father he may enter But by Thorp If the Issue in tail gets his Pardon after the death of his Father then the King shall have the profits of the Lands during the life of the Issue And the Case of Cardinal Pool was debated in the Parliament 27 Eliz. That he being Dean of Exeter was seised of Lands in the right of his Church and was attainted of Treason It was holden he should forfeit the profits of such Lands But admit That by this Attainder the Land be forfeited yet the party hath the Freehold until Office found See Nicholls Case Plow Com. And also the Case of the Dutchy in Plow Com. acc And here the Pardon hath dispensed with the forfeiture A Tenant of the King aliens in Mortmain before Office found the King pardons it it is good The Lord Poynings conveyed all his Lands to Sir Adrian Poynings who was an Alien and after made a Denizen and the King pardoned and released to him all his right in the said Lands without any words of grant and adjudged the same did bind the King And he said he had a good president 14 H. 7. Where a General Pardon before seisure into the hands of the King was allowed good contrary after a seisure without words of Grant. See Br. 29 H. 8. Br. Charter of Pardon 52. If a Man be attainted of Felony and the King pardons him all Felonies executiones eorundem and Outlawries c. and releases all forfeitures of Lands and Tenements and of Goods and Chattels the same will not serve but for life of Lands if no Office be found but it will not serve for the goods without words of restitution and grant for the King is entituled to them by the Outlawry without office But the King is not entituled to Land until Office be found See Ibid. 33 H. 8. 71. The Heir intrudes and before Office found the King pardons now the Heir is discharged as well of the Issues and profits as of the Intrusion it self But a Pardon given after the Office found is available for the Offence but not for the Issues and profits And he cited the Case of Cole in Plowden where a Pardon was granted mean between the stroak and the death See 35 H. 6. 1. 16 E. 4. 1. 8 Eliz. Dyer 249. Brereton's Case 11 Eliz. Dyer 284 285. Egerton Sollicitor contrary This Traverse is not good for he who traverseth hath not made title to himself as he ought upon which the Queen may take Issue for it is in the Election of the Queen to maintain her own title or to traverse the title of the party At the Common Law no Traverse lay but where Livery might be sued but that is helped by the Statute of 34 E. 3. but where the King is entituled by double matter of Record as in our Case he is no Traverse was allowed until 2 E. 6. Cap. 8. And in such Case two things are requisite 1. That the Office be untruly found 2. That the party who is to be admitted to his Traverse have just title or Interest
Land during his life And he conceived That this Estate of Tho. Venables was in the King without Office not to grant for he is restrained by the Statute of 18 H. 8. but it is in him so before Office that he who hath right ought to sue to the King by Petition if he will have the same Yet he conceived That before the said Statute of 18 H. 6. the King might grant it before Office as it appeareth by Thirning 13 H. 4. 278. which was before the Statute So if the Kings Tenant makes a Lease for years the remainder over to another in Fee who dyeth without Heir the said remainder is in the King without Office because a common person in such case cannot enter but a Claim is sufficient and therefore it shall be in the King without Office. As to the Pardon He conceived That it did not extend to this Estate For the same is a Freehold therefore not within the Pardon As if the Kings Tenant be attainted of Felony and the King pardons him all Offences and all which he may pardon these words will not go or extend to Freehold but only to personal matters and such punishments and pains which do concern Chattels But it may be Objected That in this Pardon title of Quare Impedit and Re-entries for Conditions are excepted and therefore if they had not been excepted they had been released by the Pardon And therefore this Pardon doth extend to Inheritances and Freeholds As to that I say That such Exceptions were not in use in the time of King Ed. 4. and such Inheritances and Freeholds were not taken to be within such Pardons And such Exceptions began 5 Eliz. And he said he had been of Counsel in such Cases where it had been taken That such Pardons did not extend to Freeholds As an Abbot was disseised and during the Disseisin the Abby was dissolved the King made such a Pardon the same did not transfer the Kings right And in this Case there are divers Exceptions of Goods and Chattels in many cases and therefore it cannot be intended that this Pardon doth extend to Freeholds And see the said Act of Pardon There the Queen gave and granted all Goods Chattels Debts Fines Issues Profits Amercements Forfeitures and Sums of Mony which word Forfeiture shall be intended personal forfeiture and not otherwise for it is coupled with things of such nature And as to the Traverse he conceived That it did not lie in this Case For the Office is not untrue in substance although it be void in Circumstances And also the King here is entituled by double matter of Record i. e. the Attainder and the Office. And he said That the Statutes of 34 36 E. 3. which gave Traverse are to be meant of Offices found virtute Officii and not virtute Brevis for then Escheators were very troublesome And 2 E. 6. doth not give traverse but where the Office is untruly found As if the Kings Tenant be disseised and the Disseisor be Attainted The Queen seiseth the Land Now the Disseisee hath no remedy by traverse upon the Statute of 2 E. 6. but is put to his Monstrans de Droit for that the Office is true But if I be the Kings Tenant and seised of Lands accordingly and it is found that J.S. was seised of my Land and attainted c. whereas in truth he had not any thing in my Land there Traverse lieth For the Office is false And so our Case for the Traverse is at the Common Law. And it is true that Venables was seised c. Cook to the contrary And he conceived That by the Attainder the Queen had gained but a Chattel And that notwithstanding this Forfeiture If Venables had been in possession a Praecipe should be brought against him And whereas it hath been said by Mr. Attorny That the Writs set down in the Register are the best Expositors of our Law the same is not so For the Register saith That Waste lieth notwithstanding a mean Remainder which is not now Law but it hath been clearly ruled to the contrary See acc 50 E. 3. The Register therefore and the Writs are subject to the Iudgments of our Law. And the Writ of Diem clausit extremum is not to the contrary For I confess that in such case Hob. Rep. 342. the Land shall be seised into the Kings hands but the King shall have but a Chattel in it It hath been argued He may grant therefore he may forfeit Nego Consequentiam For a Man seised in the right of his Wife may grant but not forfeit Gardian in Socage may grant but not forfeit The Husband may grant a Term for years which he hath in the right of his Wife but he cannot forfeit it A Woman enheritrix taketh Husband and afterwards is attainted of Felony the King pardons him they have Issue the Woman dieth the Husband shall be Tenant by the Curtesie which proveth that the King hath no Freehold by this Attainder Before the Statute of West 2. Tenant in tail post prolem suscitatam might forfeit the Land but now the Statute hath so incorporated the Estate tail to the Tenant in tail that it cannot be devested yea a Fine levied ipso jure est nullus although as to the possession it be a discontinuance And that is the reason wherefore Tenant in tail shall not be seised to another's use See Stamford 190. b. The Husband seised in the right of his Wife is attainted of Felony the King shall have the Issues of the Land of the Wife during the life of the Husband c. So if Tenant in tail be Attainted of Felony that is but a Chattel in the Lands of the Wife and also in the Lands of the Tenant in tail and if the possessions of a Bishop be seised into the Kings hands for a Contempt In such case the King hath possession and not only the profits The same Law of Lands of Tenant in tail or for life being attainted of Felony So seisure for alienation without Licence or of the possessions of Poor Aliens See Br. Reseisure 10. So where the seisure is for Idiocy And he conceived That nothing is in the King without Office. And as to the Case of 13 H. 4. 6. I confess it For all that time many and amongst them Lawyers and Iustices were attainted by Parliament And so was Sir John Salisbury whose Case it was and their Lands by Act of Parliament given expresly to the King and therefore I grant that their Lands were in the King without Office. Tenant in Fee of a Common Lord is attainted of Felony his Lands remain in him during his life till the entry of the Lord and where the King is Lord until Office be found but in the case of a Common person after the death of the person attainted it is in the Lord before Entry and in the Case of the King before Office for the Mischief of Abeyance And see the Lord Lovell's
use created before the Statute and a use created afterwards for in the first Case they ought to enter and if they be disabled by any Act as in the Case between Gascoign and the Earl of Kent it shall never rise but in the later Case the whole authority and confidence is by the Statute taken out of the Feoffee and the contingent use shall rise without aid of the Feoffees by the operation of the Law for there the Land is bound to the Vses and charged with them As upon a Iudgment in a Warrantia Chartae the Land of the Defendant is bounden pro loco tempore and according to the Common experience in Conveyances for payment of the Kings Debts as in the Case between Proctor and Dennis The Debtor of the King makes a Feoffment in Fee unto the use of himself and his Heirs until he makes default of such a payment to the Queen at such a day and upon default to the use of the Queen and her Heirs Cowper There needs no Entry of the Feoffees and he put the difference put before by Harris betwixt a Vse created before and a Vse created after the Statute and now the Feoffees have not any power to revive or to stand seised to such Vses but are only as Instruments to convey the Vses For the Vse is created upon the Livery and is transferred by the Statute if the person to whom the Vse is limited be capable of it at the time of the limitation but if not the Law preserves it until and it cannot be by any means prevented and he cited the Case 30 H. 8. Br. Feoffments to Vses 50 and there is a great difference betwixt a Vse limited before and after the Statute For now after the Statute the Feoffees by reason of their seisin cannot be vouched for they have not such a Seisin whereof they may make a Feoffment and he put the Case between Cheny and Oxenbridge Cheny leased to Oxenbridge for 50 years and afterwards enfeoffed Oxenbridge to the use of Cheny himself and his Wife for their lives with divers remainders over And it was adjudged in the Court of Wards That by the Feoffment the Term is not extinct and he put the Case of the Lord Pagett adjudged in the Kings Bench. A Feoffment was made to the use of the Feoffee for life the Remainder to him whom the Feoffor should name at his death in Fee and the Feoffor and Feoffees for good Consideration levy a Fine to a Stranger and afterwards the Feoffor nameth and dieth The party named by the Feoffor shall have the Land notwithstanding the Fine c. Beamount the contingent use is here utterly destroyed by the Feoffment aforesaid and it appeareth by the preamble of the Statute of 27 H. 8. of Vses That the motives of that Act did not favour Vses but it was their meaning utterly to root them out And if contingent Vses which are not nor can be executed by the Statute should stand in force the mischief should be that no Purchasor should be secure of his Purchase but should be in danger of a new born Vse not known before And he grounded his further Argument upon the reason of Manwood and Dyer Where a Man makes a Feoffment in Fee to the Vse of himself and his Wife which shall be and afterwards he and his Feoffees and those in Remainder make a Feoffment to divers other new Feoffees and to new Vses and afterwards he takes another Wife and dieth The said Iustices were of Opinion That by the said Feoffment the contingent Vses were destroyed For when the Estates which the Feoffees take is taken away which was the root and foundation of the Vses and the branch and fruit of the said Tree it necessarily followeth that they also be taken away and also because the Feoffees by their Livery are barred for to enter for to re-continue the Estate would continue these Vses they also are gone and extinguished Yelverton I conceive that notwithstanding the Feoffment that the Vse shall rise in his due time according to the limitation of it c. CCCXXXIX The Serjeant's Case Mich. 32 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. TEnant in tail and he in the Remainder in Fee joyn in a Grant of a Rent-charge in Fee to the issue of Tenant in tail a year before the Statute of 27 Eliz. of fraudulent Conveyances and afterwards the Tenant in tail and he in the Remainder sell the Land and afterwards a Praecipe is brought against Tenant in tail who voucheth him in the Remainder who voucheth the Common Vouchee and so a Recovery is had and seisin accordingly The issue in tail dieth without issue Tenant in tail dieth the Vncle distraineth for the Rent Glanvil Serjeant argued That this grant of the Rent is altogether the grant of the Tenant in tail and that nothing passed from him in the Remainder and that it doth enure as one entire Grant and not as several Grants As where Tenant for life and he in the Reversion joyn in a Lease it is one entire Lease and the Lease of them both and they shall both joyn in an Action of Waste But admit that here are several Grants yet the Estate out of which the Rent was granted continuing the Rent shall continue also And now the Recoveror comes in the Post and in the affirmation of the Estate of Tenant in tail and the Remainder is utterly defeated and destroyed by the Recovery and the Rent always issueth out of the particular Estate and he cited Littl. 125. If a Rent-Charge be issuing out of Land and the Tenant of the Land leaseth the same for life and afterwards the Rent is granted over now he who hath the Freehold ought to attorn scil the Tenant for life for a Rent-Charge lieth always upon the possession and if Tenant for life granteth a Rent-Charge and afterwards makes a Feoffment in Fee the Rent shall continue until the possession be recontinued c. Harris Serjeant contrary This Grant is the Grant of them both scil of the Tenant as long he hath issue of his Body and afterwards it is the grant of him in the Remainder Where a Man derives his Interest from two the one being a particular Tenant the other a Recoveror or a Remainder in Fee the Donee takes of each of them that which he may lawfully give and no more and the particular Estate being then ended the Donee shall be then accompted in by him in the Reversion c. See 2 E. 4. 1. And he vouched the Case of the Lord Mountjoy The Lord Mountjoy took to Wife a Woman Enheretrix she had issue and so he was intituled to be Tenant by the Curtesie and acknowledged a Statute and afterwards he and his Wife levyed a Fine and died Now the Conusee shall hold the Land discharged of the Statute for after the death of the Husband the Conusee is in by the Wife only and so paramount the charge Also he said That this Grant of
Rent 11 H. 7. 13. 21 H. 6. 24. 14 H. 8. 35. So where the Successor accepts of a Rent upon a Lease made by the Predecessor 37 H. 6. 4. 8 H. 5. 10. 4 E. 4. 14. The same Law in Exchanges and Partitions If the Wife accepteth of Dower of the Land which her Husband hath taken in Exchange she shall be barred of that Land which her Husband gave in Exchange 6 E. 3. 50. 15 E. 3. tit Bar. 125. 12 H. 4. 12. c. And in all these Cases where there is an Agreement and therein an Agreement implyed scil An Agreement to the Lease and a Disagreement to have the Possession c. And so Agreement to the Land received in Exchange and Disagreement to the Land given in Exchange and all that by word and act in pais And so here in these Cases Estates are affirmed and entred and benefit of the possession waived and refused So it is also of a Right and Title of Action 21 H. 6. 25. The Lord entituled to have a Writ of Right upon Disclaimer accepts a Rent of the Tenant Now he is barred of his Action 13 Ass 3. The Disseisee accepts homage of the Disseisor it is a good bar in an Assise 21 Ass 6. Pendant a Cessavit the Tenant aliened the Lord accepted the Services of the Alienee his Action is gone 11 E. 3. tit Dower 63. A Woman entituled to Dower accepteth Homage of the Ter-Tenant the same is a Bar of her Dower And as it hath been said of Entries and Actions of which a Man may refuse the benefit by word and Acceptance in pais So is the Law also in Cases of Estates vested if the party doth not Enter Husband and Wife Tenants in special tail the Husband levyeth a Fine to his own use and afterwards Deviseth the Land to his Wife for life the Remainder over rendring Rent the Husband dieth The Wife Enters and pays the Rent now she hath waived her Remitter 18 Eliz. Dyer 351. 10 E. 4. 12. The Tenant enfeoffed the Lord and a stranger and made Livery to the stranger although the Freehold vested in them both yet if the Lord disagreeth to the Feoffment in futuro he cannot enter and occupy the Land and he may distrain for the services c. If a Disseisin be made to the use of the Husband and Wife and the Husband agreeth to it the Freehold vests in the Husband and Wife but the Wife is not a Disseisor and after the death of the Husband she may disagree unto the Estate by word 12 E. 4. 7. And also an Agreement shall make her a Dissessisor See to the same intent 7 E. 4. 7. and Litt. 129. Although that in such and the like Cases the Estate vests in some manner yet it shall never vest to the prejudice of the party without an express and actual agreement And that disagreement to an Estate in such manner vested may be in pais and by word seems by a Clause in the Statute of 27 H. 8. cap. 1. Where a Ioynture is made after Marriage there the Wife after the death of her Husband may at her pleasure refuse her Ioynture and have and demand and take her Dower her Writ of Dower or otherwise scil by word and Acceptance in pais And if in a Writ of Dower the Tenant will bar the Demandant by Ioynture made during the Coverture he ought to say Quod intrando agreeavit See Litt. in Dower ad Ostium Ecclesiae If the Wife entreth and agreeth the same is a good Bar in Dower Littl. 8. Now in the principal Case When the Wife agreeth to the Devise of Thoby and the same is executed by entry now the same is a full Disagreement to Hinton It was afterwards Objected That although it be clear That the Wife may waive her Ioynture in Hinton by word and act in pais without matter of Record Yet some conceived That this manner of Devise of Thoby is void by the Statute of 32 34 H. 8. The Statute enables to Devise two parts or so much as amounts to two parts in value at the time of the death of the Devisor for then the Will takes effect which cannot be here in this Case for at the time of his death the Ioynture of Hinton was in force and so continued until the disagreement afterwards Also the words of the Statute are Having a sole Estate in Fee-simple but here the Devisor had but a Reversion in Fee expectant upon an Estate tail c. As to the first Point it was answered That the Disagreement doth relate to the death of the Husband and is now as if no Ioynture had been made ab initio And here the Heir shall have Hinton by descent and he shall be Tenant to every Praecipe and if it be brought against him the same day that the Husband dieth the Writ shall be good by the Disagreement after and the Heir shall have his age c. And if the Father had been a Disseisor and had Conveyed the Land ut supra now by this argeement of the Wife the Heir shall be accounted in by descent and thereby the Entry of the Disseisee taken away And if the Heir in such case taketh a Wife and dieth by this disagreement after the Wife shall have Dower of Hinton and hath such a possession quod faciet sororem esse haeredem And if that the same day that the Husband dieth the Heir levyeth a Fine or acknowledge a Statute or maketh by Indenture enrolled a Bargain and Sale of it by the said agreement Hinton shall be subject to such Acts of the Heir All which Cases prove That the Devisor upon this matter at the time of his death had a sole Estate in Feesimple in the Mannor of Hinton and that the third part in value descended to the Heir and so the Devise of Thoby good It hath been Objected That here is not an immediate descent of which the Statute of 34 H. 8. speaks And here the Mannor of Hinton doth not descend immediatly for there was a mean time between the Death and the Disagreement and so the Will void for Thoby To that it was answered That this word immediatè sumitur dupliciter re tempore and shall be taken here immediatè re statu scil That a Reversion or a Remainder dependant upon a particular Estate in possession which is mean shall not be allowed for the third part descended For a Descent which takes away an Entry ought to be immediate for a mediate descent doth not take away an Entry Litt. 92. as the descent of a Reversion or Remainder And if this word Immediatè had not been in the Statute Then the Statute might have been construed That it should be sufficient to leave the third part to descend in Reversion or Remainder but this word Immediatè makes it clear And therefore the third part which descends ought to descend immediatè in re Statu Yet a Reversion upon a Lease for
