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.

Quid juris clamat 22. 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
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
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
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
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.

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.

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. And Lovelace shewed That divers mean Feoffments were made c. LXXIV Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. NOte This Case was in Court An Heir Female was in Ward of a common person who tendred to her a marriage viz. his younger Son and she agreed to the Tender and the Guardian died The Heir married the younger Son according to the Tender The Executors of the Guardian brought a Writ de Valore Maritagii supposing the Tender by the Lord to be void by his death But the Court was of a contrary Opinion because the Tender of their Testator was executed LXXV Riches Case Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. ELizabeth Rich brought a Writ of Dower against J.S. who pleaded and Iudgment given for the Defendant and afterwards the Iudgment was reversed And she brought a new Writ of Dower and the Tenant pleaded That he always was ready and yet is c. Against which the Demandant pleaded the first Record to estop the Tenant To which the Tenant pleaded Nul tiel Record It was the Opinion of the Court That here the Demandant cannot conclude the Tenant by that Replication to plead Nul tiel Record For the Iudgment is reversed and so no Record and it cannot be certified a Record But if the Tenant had taken Issue upon the plea of the Tenant absque hoc that he was ready the same might well have been given in Evidence against the Tenant Note That the Case was That the Demandant after the death of her Husband entred into the Land in Demand and continued the possession of it 5 years and afterwards the Heir entred upon which she brought Dower It was agreed in that Case That the Tenant needed not to plead Tout temps prist after his re-entry for the time the Demandant had occupied the same is a sufficient recompence for the Damages LXXVI Vavasors Case Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. NIcholas Ellis seised in Fee of the Mannor of Woodhall Leased the same to William Vavasor and E. his Wife for the life of the Wife the remainder to the right Heirs of the Husband The Husband made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself and his Wife for their lives the remainder to his right Heirs The Husband died the Wife held the Land and did Waste in a Park parcel of the Mannor It was moved to the Court If the Writ of Waste should suppose that the Wife held ex dimissione Nicholai Ellis or ex dimissione of her Husband It was the Opinion of the Court That upon this matter the Writ should be general viz. that she held de haereditate J.S. haeredis c. without saying any more either ex dimissione hujus vel illius For she is not in by the Lessor nor by the Feoffees but by the Statute of Vses and therefore the Writ shall be ex haereditate It was also the Opinion of the Iustices That the Wife here is not remitted but that she should be in according to the Term of the Feoffment Note in this Case The Waste was assigned in destroying the Deer in the Park And Meade Serjeant conceived That Waste could not be assigned in the Deer unless the Defendant had destroyed all the Deer And of that Opinion also was Dyer Manwood said If the Lessee of a Dove-house destroyed all the old Pigeons but one or two couple the same is Waste And if a Keeper destroy so many of the Deer so as the ground is become not Parkable the same is Waste although he doth not destroy them all See 8 R. 2. Fitz. Waste 97. If there be sufficient left in a Park Pond c. it is enough LXXVII Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. AN Action upon the Case was brought against Executors They were at Issue Vpon nothing in their hands It was given in Evidence on the Plaintiffs part That a stranger was bound to the Testator in 100 l. for performance of covenants which were broken For which the Executors brought Debt upon the Obligation depending which Suit both parties submitted themselves to the Arbitrament of A. and B. who awarded That the Obligor should pay to the Executors 70 l. in full satisfaction c. and that the Executors should release c. which was done accordingly And it was agreed by the Court That by the Release it
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. In the Kings Bench. 5 Co. 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. And so it is of Ireland CXII Hill. 20 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 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.

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.

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.

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
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
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. CCLXXV Trin. 30 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. AN Ejectione firmae was brought de uno Cubiculo and Exception was taken to it But the Exception was disallowed The Declaration was special viz Leas unius Cubiculi per nomen unius Cubiculi being in such a House in the middle story of the said House And the Declaration was holden good enough and the word Cubiculum is a more apt word than the word Camera And such was the Opinion of Wray Chief Iustice And it was said That Ejectione firmae brought de una rooma had been adjudged good in this Court. CCLXXVI Johnson and Bellamy's Case Rot. 824. Mich. 30 31 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN an Ejectione firmae It was holden by Special Verdict 1 Cro. 122. That W. Graunt was seised of certain Lands and by his Will devised the same to Joan his Wife for life And further he willed That when Rich. his Brother should come to the age of 25 years that he should have the Land to him and the Heirs of his body lawfully begotten W. Graunt died having Issue of his body who was his Heir Rich. before he attained the age of 25 years levied a Fine of the said Lands with proclamations in the life and during the seisin of Joan to A. sic ut partes finis nihil habuerunt And If this Fine should bar the Estate in tail was the Question And the Iustices cited the Case of the Lord Zouch which was adjudged Mich. 29 Eliz. 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. THe Case was A Man made a Lease for life rendring Rent at Michaelmas and further Leased the same to the Executors of the Lessee until Michaelmas after the death of the Lessee It was affirmed by Cook That in that Case it was adjudged That the word Until shall be construed to extend to the Term unto the end of the Feast of St. Michael and so the Rent then due payable by the Executors for without such Construction no Rent should be then due because the Term ended before Michaelmas CCLXXVIII Pasch 30 Eliz.

In the Common Pleas. THe Defendant in Debt being ready at the Bar to wage his Law was examined by the Court upon the points of the Declaration and the cause of the Debt upon which it appeared that the Plaintiff and Defendant were reciprocally endebted the one to the other And accompting together they were agreed That each of them should be quit of the other It was the Opinion of Periam and Anderson Iustices That upon that matter the Defendant could not safely wage his Law For it is but an agreement which cannot be executed but by Release or Acquittance CCLXXX Pasch 30 Eliz.

TEnant in tail Covenanted with his Son to stand seised to the use of himself for life and afterwards to the use of his Son in tail the remainder to the right Heirs of the Father The Father levied a Fine with proclamations and died It was moved by Fenner If any Estate passed to the Son by that Covenant for it is not any discontinuance and so nothing passed but during his life and all the Estates which are to begin after his death are void Anderson Iustice The Estate passeth until c.

Alderman of London and afterwards he acknowledged another Statute to one Hampden who assigned the same to Fitton who assigned the same to the Queen Starkey sued forth Execution upon his Statute and thereupon the Land is extended of Curson and he hath a Liberate of it It was agreed by all the Barons That if Starkey had execution upon the Statute before the Queen his Execution should stand against the Queen and the Queen should not put him out And it was further agreed by them That if A. recovers a Debt in the Common Pleas so as he hath title to sue forth Execution by Elegit and the Defendant sells his Lands and afterwards A. assigns his Execution to the Queen That the Queen should not have prerogative against the Feoffee to have execution of the whole Land. 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.

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.

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
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.

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
but are moved for the pleasure of the parties What Resolutions shall we make by speaking at random Manwood As to the first Exception I nor my Brother Jeffery do not doubt of it but that the Plaint was good notwithstanding that it is not shewed that he was idonea persona for the Law shall intend him so to be until the contrary he shewed And so it is of a grant of an Annuity as long as he se bene gesserit the Law shall intend that he carrieth himself well until the contrary be shewed But as to the other Point That he doth not shew the death of the first Bishop my Brother Jeffery doubted of it but I make no doubt of it for that is but a Recital and the Plaintiff makes his title but from Bishop Alley and therefore that is not material nor parcel of his Plaint whether the predecessor of Alley be alive or not for he doth not derive any Title from him but from Alley Dyer Can a Bishop grant an Office in Reversion without title of Prescription that they have used so to do time out of mind And here no Prescription is laid that the Bishop might so do And then as I conceive the Reversion of the Office cannot be granted for there is not any Reversion of it and it is not like unto an Advowson which may be granted that the Grantee may present when it shall be next void And as I conceive No Reversion of any Office can be granted if not by the King who hath a special Prerogative For he reciting how that such an one hath such an Office for life he may grant that such a person shall have the same Office after the death of the first Grantee And so the Queen may grant the Reversion of such an Office as if she recite that such an one is Keeper of such a Park there she may grant the Keepership of it after the death of another But if a Common person will grant the Stewardship of his Courts after the death of such a person as is now Steward or the Reversion of it the same is not good For of Offices there is not any Fee or Reversion But a Nomination which the party hath to name what person he pleaseth when the same shall become void Manwood It is the Order in the Arches and in the Prerogative Court and of all the Courts of Pauls to grant the Offices in Reversion as in the Case of Doctor Drury and others who have the Reversion of every Office which doth belong to the Spiritual Courts Dyer I do not care nor regard what they do but what they ought to do and I do not respect the person of any one in relating the Law But it may be that by words of Covenant such a Covenant may be good And of late time here a Case hath been adjudged That where one prescribed that such an one might grant an Office cuicunque personae idoneae voluerit and the Grant was made to two and because the prescription did not warrant this manner of grant it was adjudged void for when the prescription is to grant alicui personae and not quibuscunque personis by that he cannot grant it but to one person and not unto divers because the prescription doth not extend so far Manwood I conceive there is a difference betwixt such persons who have Offices for life as the Admiral of England the Lord Treasurer the Iustices of the two Benches which have Offices incident to their Courts they cannot grant any of those Offices in Reversion But a Bishop hath a Fee and therefore the Cases are not alike Dyer he hath not prescribed in the person of the Bishop here but he hath said That the Custom is That the Bishop may grant the said Office whereas in truth if there were a prescription he ought to prescribe That the Bishop for the time being might grant the said Office in possession or in reversion And so as I conceive here no Office shall be granted in reversion unless by prescription which ought to be alledged And in the time of this Queen an Office of this Court was granted to Fry and his Son by the King and the Patent was shewed here in Court and rejected and it was said there was no place in Court for two to sit there and the Office might be exercised as well by one as by two and therefore the Patent was disallowed And although that Offices are granted to two as now in the Kings Bench of late time there is not any President to warrant the same and therefore as I conceive such a Grant is not good nor warranted by the Law for I do not regard in this Case against what persons I speak Mounson In the Chancery a Patent was granted to Bagot and Swirenden of an Office in the Chancery by King Henry the 6th and in 9 E. 4. it is is disputed Whether the Grant were good or not c. LIX Mich. Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THe Case was A Man Mortgageth his Lands to pay to the Mortgagee his Heirs Executors or Assigns a certain sum of Mony at a day certain The Mortgagee dieth and maketh his Heir within age his Executor and the Mortgagor pays the Mony at the day to the Heir It was holden The same shall be Assets in the hands of the Heir as Executor and that he hath not the Mony as Heir and he shall be charged with it within age LX. Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Case was this A Man had made a Lease for 40 years to one by Indenture if the Lessee should so long live and afterwards by another Deed he demised the same Lands and Tenements to the same Lessee To have to his Executors and Assigns for 40 years after the expiration of the first Lease And Lovelace Serjeant demanded the Opinion of the Court the Lord Dyer being then in the Star-Chamber Whether in this Case the Lessee should have the Interest in the second Lease or his Executors or whether it was a void Lease Harper Iustice said That in every Lease there are 3 things incident to make it good 1. That there be a Lessor to make the Lease 2. That there be a Lessee to take the Lease And 3. That there be a thing which should be which should be let And then he said That here although that there be a Lessor and a thing which should be leased yet here there was not any Lessee For Executors are not until after the death of the Testator But he said That if a Lease be made for years or for life and that the Executors shall have the same for certain years after his death the same is good for there is an Interest of the Term. And if a Man maketh a Lease to begin at the month of Easter his Executors may have this Term because the same was an Interest of a Term in the Lessee and the Term shall be executed at Easter But here in this
case there is no person to take it and therefore he conceived That the Lease was void Mounson Iustice The Case is as it is recited And he said That the Premisses of a Deed is to limit the person who shall have the Lease and the Habendum shall not declare the person who shall have it or the Lease but to declare the Estate which shall be in the Lease and it is but a limitation of the Estate and if the Premisses do not limit the person who shall have it the Habendum shall not give any thing to the person unless it be expressed in the Premisses what person shall have it and therefore when he saith Habendum to his Executors and Assigns these words Executors and Assigns are void But when a Man makes a Lease to one Habendum to his Executors and Assigns the same is not void for if Livery be made his Heir shall take it after his death Harper By the Lease of the same Land by a new Deed as the Case is here nothing shall pass without an Habendum And if a Lease be made to the Lessee Habendum to his Executors he himself hath no Estate and when no Estate is limited the person in the Premisses gains not any thing and without the Habendum he cannot have any thing Lovelace If I may declare my Opinion This new Lease shall be a Lease in possession as a Confirmation of the first Lease and shall be taken to be a Lease for life and the Habendum shall be void and therefore he prayed the Opinion of Manwood Iustice therein Who said That in every Lease there are 3 Principals as he had said of Lessor Lessee and thing Let And by the Premisses the Lessor and Lessee are expressed and by the Habendum the Interest which the Lessee shall have ought to be set forth and if no Habendum be in the Deed to express any certainty of time the Lessee by the same shall be Tenant of your Opinion Brother Lovelace That the same shall be a Lease for life unless that in the second Deed the words had been That he Leased and Granted by which word Grant it might enure and amount to a Lease for life but if the Deed had been Demise and Grant that cannot be intended for the life of the Lessee And as I have said before by apt words it might enure to a Confirmation and make it a Lease for life but by the Premisses it is not so and by this Deed it is not expressed that the Lessee shall take a Freehold for by the Habendum his mind appeareth to be otherwise by agreement betwixt the parties that his Executors and Assigns should have it for a certain time after his death and that he himself would not have it for he hath sufficiently provided for himself to have if for 40 years if he liveth so long although it cannot be intended that he should live beyond the Term which he hath so as it cannot be taken to be the meaning of the parties that he should have it as a Lease for life and when by the Premisses of the Deed the parties are not named the Habendum shall never bring in a strange person As where a Lease is made to the Husband Habendum to the Wife the Habendum to her is a void because it shall not introduce one who is a stranger to the Premisses of the Deed. And as my Brother Mounson hath said The Office of the Premisses of a Deed is to limit the persons who shall have it and the Office of the Habendum is to limit the Estate of the thing which is granted and therefore when the Habendum is to such a person as was not named in the Premisses of the Deed it is but a Nugation As if he had Leased to J.S. Habendum to the Moon for certain years there the Habendum to that thing is a Nugation and void and therefore then if the words be in the Premisses that he Leaseth to J.S. for 20 years and doth not say that he shall have it for 20 years it shall be intended that the person named in the Premisses shall have it for the Habendum waits upon the Grant before and when he gives an Estate in the Habendum without limiting of the person in it then the person named in the Premisses shall have it and then when he names a strange person who was not named before in the Premisses or which hath no Capacity as the Moon or such like who are not in rerum natura as his Executors of the Lessee or his Assigns these persons or things named in the Habendum are but Nugations and void and then it is like unto the Case where no person is limited in the Habendum And where apt words are there the Law shall construe them strong against the Grantor and therefore the Law couples the Habendum and the Premisses together that the intent of the parties may if by any means it may have a reasonable Construction And therefore if a Man maketh a Lease to two Habendum to one of them and a third person there as to the third person he gets nothing by the Habendum because he was not named in the Premisses and therefore the naming him in the Habendum is but a Nugation And so here the naming of the Executors and Assigns by the Habendum is but a Nugation and so there is no person named in it But I conceive that the Habendum when the years are expressed and the Estate limited by it shall have reference to the person who is named in the Premisses of the Deed and so the Lease shall be good to him to begin after the first Term expired Harper It appeareth that it was the meaning of the parties that he himself would not have any thing but that his Will was That his Executors should have it and the Law shall frame his intent and meaning and shall not subject the Law to his intent and when he doth not so but overthwarts the Law and frames such an Instrument the Law shall be first served and not their meanings when the same doth not agree with the Law. And therefore as to the Case which my Brother Manwood hath put Where no person is named in the Habendum by Construction of Law he who is named in the Premisses shall have it But when the Habendum makes express mention of his intent what person shall have it and another than was named in the Premisses then if those cannot have it the Estate limited shall not be carried over to him who was named in the Premisses And as to the Case put where a Lease is made to two Habendum to one of them and a third person there I well agree That as to the third person it is but a Nugation and the other two who are named with him in the Habendum and have a Capacity to take it shall have it although the other getteth nothing but that is not like to the Case at
Bar for no person is named there Manwood If a Lease be made made to J.S. except Green-Close to J.D. who is a stranger the Exception is good and J.D. shall have it The Principal Case was Adjourned LXI The Lord Windsors Case Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. UPon an Evidence given to a Iury in the Kings Bench in an Ejectione Firmae the Case appeared to be thus That Sir Roger Lewknor Knight being seised in Fee of the Mannor of South Myms made an Indenture Anno 11. H. 8. by which Indenture he Leased the said Mannor to 20 persons to the use of Andrew Windsor afterwards Lord Windsor and Henry his Son and the Survivor of them as long as any of the said persons named in the said Indenture should live And further Covenanted by the same Indenture To stand seised of the said Mannor To the use of the said Andrew and Henry and the Survivor of them during the lives of any of the said Feoffees named in the same Indenture which Deed was made without Livery and Seisin and reserved upon it an yearly Rent and afterwards the Son died And in 22 H. 8. A Fine was levied by a stranger upon a Release to Andrew Lord Windsor And afterwards 34 of Henry 8 Andrew Lord Windsor made a Lease to one for years and died and made William and Edmond his Sons his Executors And afterwards William his eldest Son being Lord Windsor 2 3 Phil. Mary made a Lease of the same Land unto another to begin after the first Lease ended Which William died and the Lord Windsor that now is accepted the Rent and of late time agreed with one Vaughan who had married the Heir of Sir Roger Lewknor for the Reversion in Fee and afterwards the Lease made by Andrew Lord Windsor 34 H. 8. ended in the 4th year of the Reign of the Queen that now is Whereupon the second Lessee that is to say the Lessee of William Lord Windsor entred and being ousted he brought the Ejectione firmae And then and yet one of the 20 Feoffees of Sir Roger Lewknor is alive so as the Estate of Cestuy que Vie is not as yet determined And now the Question upon the first part of the Evidence is If this later Lease made by William Lord Windsor be a good Lease or not And who shall be said Occupant For when the Lord Andrew died then the Lessee as Catline said shall not be said in otherwise than according to his Lease when his occupation by Lease was lawful before And he who shall be said Occupant shall have a Freehold and if he should be Occupant he should be in by a new title Then we are to see If the Executors of the Lord which have the Rent and to whom the same is paid by the Lessee shall be said Occupant And he conceived That they should not although that they enter unless they claim the Freehold at the time of their entry for if they enter generally it shall be intended according to the Will as Executors and if he had granted his Estate to another there after his death the Grantee shall be said to be in by reason of his Grant and not as Occupant And so if he would devise his Estate the Devisee shall be in by reason of the Devise and not as Occupant Which Case of Devise Southcote denyed That he should not be in by reason of the Devise when his Estate determines with his death But if the Devisee entreth by force of the Devise he shall be in as an Occupant And also Southcote denyed that which had been said That the Lessee for years who holdeth the Lands after the death of Andrew Lord Windsor should not be an Occupant For as he said the Lessee being in possession after the death of the Lord Andrew should be said Occupant and no other for the Executors of the Lord could not be Occupant by the having of the Rent because they had not the possession of the Land for none shall be Occupant but he who is in possession Whiddon said That if the first Lease made by Andrew Lord Windsor was now in esse and that an Ejectione Firmae was brought upon that that the Lessee ought to aver That some of the Feoffees for whose lives c. were then living Southcote If a Praecipe quod reddat shall be brought against whom shall it be brought against him in the Reversion or against him in possession And if it shall be brought against the Tenant in possession then he ought to have the Freehold for it cannot be brought but against one who hath a Freehold at the least And then if the Lord William Windsor had nothing in the Land then how could he make this Lease to the Plaintiff that now is when the first Lessee continueth Occupant after the death of the Lord Andrew during the life of Cestuy que Vye And as to the Fine the Question did further arise If the Lord Andrew Windsor should have a Feesimple by that Fine For being levied as Catline said It cannot be to the first Vses because a Fine upon a Release cannot be intended to the use of any other but to him to whom it is levied unless an use be expressed in the Fine or by another Deed And upon a Fine levied upon a Release made unto Tenant life by a stranger the same is not a forfeiture of his Estate But if Tenant for life taketh a Fine Sur Conusans de droit come ceo c. the same is a forfeiture And although a Fine levied by those who have not any thing in the Lands be void Yet here it is not so and it ought to be pleaded specially and shewed that he had not anything in the Land at the time the Fine was levied as Anderson said And Catline said That this Fine was not without good advice for the Lord Brook and others who were learned in the Law were of Counsel with the Lord Windsor in the levying of this Fine so as the intent was to settle the Feesimple in himself by the Fine and not that the first Vses should stand after that And thereupon he put the Case of Putnam and Duncomb which hath much Resemblance to this Case which he argued when he was Serjeant and held the same Opinion as he holdeth now And therefore he said That although the Purchase was but of late time of Vaughan and his Wife yet the Fee was in the Lord Windsor before and this manner of purchase was to no other end but to discharge the Lands of Incumbrances as appeareth by the small sum which was paid the Land being of a great yearly value And as Vaughan confessed he took this sum of Mony because that his Council informed him that the Feesimple was in the Lord Windsor before and that otherwise he would not have sold it at such a price And he said That before that agreement the Lord Windsor told him that he had the Feesimple in himself
are to have advantage of it yet the Lord shall not avow for not repairing of it without alledging that the Bridge was in decay And so when the Tenure is to Cover his Hall he shall not Avow without alledging that his Hall needed Reparations And so in the principal Case here he ought to alledge that there was a present necessity for making of the By-Law for it may be that there was not any Sheep within the Mannor when the By-Law was made and then there was no cause that it should be made And in the like manner as it hath been said of the Common Law That certainty ought to be shewed so shall it be by the Statute Laws As if Tenant for life makes default if one prayeth to be received for the default of the Tenant for life he ought to shew that he hath the Reversion and that he bringeth his Action by reason thereof And as it hath been said of the Common Law and Statute Law so it shall be said of Custom As in 44 E. 3 where the Parishioners prescribe to make By-Laws and that they made such an Ordinance That for every Acre of Land or for every Beast every one should pay for the Reparations of the Church c. there it may be said in Avowry that the Church wanted Reparation And so where a Tax and Levy is to make a Wall against the See there if the party will justifie the levying of the Tax or Levy he must say That there was need of it otherwise the same cannot be levied But as to the ability of a person he shall be enabled by Intendment As if an Obligation be made by a Man or a Woman in an Action brought upon the Bond he shall not be compelled to say That the Man was of full age or that the Woman was a single Woman for that shall be intended until the contrary be shewed But by Statute Law if a Man pleads a Grant it shall be otherwise As upon the Statute of 1 R. 3. If he plead a Feoffment or a Grant of Cestuy que Use he must plead That he was of full age out of prison of sound memory and within the 4 Seas And so where a Pardon was made in the time of King Ed. the 14th to all but to those who were with Queen Margaret there if he will take advantage of the Pardon he must plead That he was not with the said Queen And if a Man plead a Feoffment of J.S. at the Common Law it shall be good and if he were within age it shall be shewed on the other side But if a Man pleadeth a Feoffment by Custom and the other saith that the Feoffor was within age and the Plaintiff replyeth That an Enfant by the Custom may make a Feoffment the same is not good but a Departure for he ought to have shewed that at the beginning in his Declaration And in 37 H. 6. Where a Man pleaded a Devise and it was shewed that the Devisor was within age there the Plaintiff need not say that the Custom is That an Enfant may devise for that is a Departure Another matter of the Custom which they have alledged is That they may make By-Laws for the better Ordering and they have not taken averment that this Ordinance was either better or worse and if it be not better then they have no cause to make the By-Law If a Feoffment be made causa Matrimonii praeloquuti it shall not be intended that the Feoffment was for any other cause than Marriage And if a Woman brings a Writ of Dower and the Defendant pleads a Lease for life made by the Husband it shall not be intended that that Lease was in allowance of her Dower according to the Statute if it be not expresly shewed And so If Cestuy que Use in tail makes a Lease for life it shall not be intended that Cestuy que Vie is alive unless a special Averment be taken That he is yet alive And so here it doth not appear that this is the better Order nor that the Lands are several or lie in Common so as by no means or Circumstance it can appear if it be the better or not Another cause wherefore the pleading is not sufficient is Because he saith Vpon a pain of Forfeiture to the Lord for the time being and he hath not alledged in fact that the Lord Cromwell who was Lord of the Mannor in Anno 6 E. 6. was Lord in the 13th year of the Reign of the Queen that now is and without shewing that shall not be intended As in 7 H. 7. A Man pleads a Feoffment and that J.S. was seised and did enfeoffe him that is not good but he ought to plead that he being so seised made the Feoffment for it shall not be intended that his seisin continued until the time of the Feoffment without shewing of it And so where a Man pleads That J.S. was seised of a Reversion granted it he ought to plead And that he being so seised granted it And so where an Attornment is pleaded for if he was not seised at the time of the Attornment the Attornment was not good And so where a Man will plead a Surrender he shall shew that he who Surrendreth and he to whom a Surrender is made were seised Quaere If the one or the other were not seised one of the Term and the other of the Reversion whether the Surrender be not good And 31 H. 6. If a Man will plead a Lease by Feoffees to use he shall say And that so seised they made the Lease And see 6 7 10 11 H. 7. Where Cestuy que Use makes a Feoffment averment shall be taken that at the time of the Lease that the Feoffees were seised to the use of the Lessor And because that here it is not shewed nor alledged that the Lord Cromwell is now Lord of the Mannor it shall not be so intended Also for divers other causes I conceive that the Avowry is insufficient For he hath shewed that a By-Law was made but doth not shew when it was made nor for what time it was to continue And it is not shewed Whether the same were made for the better ordering of the Lands which the Lord held joyntly or in common with others or which he held in his own Right alone And as to the Prescription I conceive that the same is not good because it is against reason and not ex rationabili causa For if one Man keeps the Law and another Man breaks the Law yet according as they have alledged this Custom to be he may be distrained who hath not offended and his Cattel taken for the Offence done by the Cattel of another Man and it is against reason that any one should be punished for the default or offence of another But the Custom of Borough English is good and so is the Custom of Gavelkind because that every Son is as good a Gentleman as the eldest and therefore those
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 the Common Pleas. NOte A special Verdict was found at the Bar and the Issue was taken upon a Traverse And Dyer Iustice said That a special Verdict could not be taken upon a Traverse but precisely according to the Issue and so it was agreed by the whole Court here but some Serjeants at the Bar did doubt of it LXIX Mich. 15 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. 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
Land therefore it is in the Land or within the Land i. e. the Mannor For the King may distrain for the Fine as well in the same Land as in the Land of him who ought to pay it Dyer doubted of it and said That the Bishop could not distrain in the Land for this Fine but should have it by allowance in the Exchequer upon the Estretes and if the party would not pay it the Lessee should have a Subpoena against him out of the Exchequer And some were of Opinion That the Lessee could not have this Fine 2 Len. 179. 4 Len. 234. for that they were not Hereditaments within the Mannor but rather in the Exchequer or Court where the Record is LXXXII Mich. 15 Eliz.

THe Case was A Man seised of a Pasture in which are two great Groves and a Wood known by the name of a Wood And also in the same Pasture there are certain Hedge-Rowes and Trees there growing Sparsim Leased the same by Indenture for years And by the same Indenture bargained and sold to the Lessee all Woods and Vnderwoods in and upon the Premisses And further That it shall and may be lawful to the Lessee to cut down and carry away all the same at all times during the Term. Harper The Hedge-Rowes do not pass by these words for they are not known by the name of Woods 14 H. 8. 2. contrary by Manwood For by such words Hedge-Rowes pass Mounson contrary For the words of the Grant may be supplyed by other Words Dyer The Hedge-Rowes shall pass for the Grant is general All Woods It was moved further If by those words the Lessee might cut them a second time or but once Harper Manwood and Mounson He may cut them but once Dyer contrary And so it should be if the words had been Growing upon the Premisses And this word Growing although it sounds in the present Tense yet it shall be also taken in the future Tense if not that the word tunc had been there for that is a word of Restraint The Case was argued in the Exchequer Chamber where I was present which was The Prior of St. John's Leased a Commandry Provided That if the said Prior or any of his Brethren there being Commanders will dwell thereupon then the said Lease to be void It was doubted If that Proviso did extend to the Successors for the word Being is in the present Tense And yet by the Opinion of Fitzherbert it shall be taken in the future Tense and so extend to the Successors Otherwise if the words had been Now being LXXXIII Mich. 15 Eliz.

In the Kings Bench. TResham brought an Action of Debt upon a Recognizance against Robins The Condition of which Recognizance was To stand to the Arbitrament of A. and B. who made Award That Robins should have the Land Yielding and paying 10 l. per annum And that Tresham in further assurance should levy a Fine to Robins of the same Land and upon that Robins should grant and render to Tresham which is done accordingly the Rent is behind Tresham brought Debt upon the Recognizance The Defendant pleaded the special matter with this per close Unde petit Judicium if the Plaintiff should have Execution against him And by the Opinion of the whole Court the Conclusion of the Plea is not good For here is not any Execution of the same Debt but an Original Action of Debt brought in which case he ought to have concluded Iudgment Si actio It was further moved If these words Yielding and paying make a Condition And it was agreed That the words do amount to as much as So as he pay the Rent And if a Man makes a Feoffment in Fee Reddendo salvendo 10 l. for years the same is a Condition But in the principal Case It is not a Condition For it is not knit to the Land by the Owner it self but by a stranger i. e. Arbitrator but it is a good Clause to make the same an Article of the Arbitrament which the parties are bound to perform upon pain of forfeiture of the Recognizance Which Wray concessit And that this Rent should not cease by Eviction of the Land. LXXXVII The Earl of Westmerlands Case Hill. 18. Eliz. In the Common Pleas. THe Earl of Westmerland seised of a Mannor whereof the Demesnes were usually let for three Lives by Copy 2 Len. 152. 2 Brownl 208. according to the Custom of the Mannor granted a Rent-charge to Sir William Cordell pro consilio impendendo for the term of his Life and afterwards conveyed the Mannor to Sir William Clifton in tail The Rent is behind Sir William Cordell dieth Sir William Clifton dieth
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.

The Incumbent dieth In this case It was holden by the Court That the Grantee might present For the Advowson was always appendant and the Inheritance of the same passed to the Grantee for it was not made disappendant by the Vsurpation But the Patentee shall not have a Quare Impedit of the first disturbance for that presentment did not pass unto him being a thing in Action without mention of it in his Grant And if the Plaintiff brings a Quare Impedit of the second Avoydance he shall make his Title by the presentment of the King not making mention of the Vsurpation Yet if the Bishop present by Lapse in the case of a common person he ought to make mention of it XC Mich. 18 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Ejectione firmae upon an Evidence the Case was this The Bishop of Rochester 4 E. 6. 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
Plaintiff had acquitted and discharged him of the Reparations Vpon which the Plaintiff demurred in Law. Manwood The same is an Acquittal and Discharge of the Reparations as well for the time past as for the time to come by force of the said Covenant and amounts to as much as if he had Released the Covenant And it was moved If the Covenant being broken for want of Reparations If now that Acquital and Discharge or Release of the Covenant should take away the Action upon the Obligation which was once forfeited before And it was the Opinion of Manwood That it should not For if one be bound in an Obligation for the performance of Covenants and before the breach of any of them the Obligee releaseth the Covenants and afterwards one of the Covenants is broken the Obligation is not forfeited for there is not now any Covenant which may be broken and therefore the Obligation is discharged But if the Release had been after the Covenant broken otherwise all which Dyer and Mounson Concesserunt CVI.

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 entire Mannor of B. by descent Vpon which they were at Issue And it was given in Evidence to the Iury That the Mannor was holden by Knights-Service and that the said Sir John the Ancestor of the Defendant 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 the Son of 24 years his Wife should hold the third part of the said Mannor for the Term of her life and his Son should have the residue And if his Son do die before he come to the age of 24 years without Heir of his body that the Land should remain over to J.S. the Remainder over to another The Devisor died the Son came to the age of 24 years Dyer and Mounson Iustices conceived That here was not any Estate tail and then for two parts he is not in by descent For no Estate tail shall rise unless that the Son dieth before his said age and therefore the Tayl never took effect and the Feesimple descends and remains in the Son if not that he dieth before the age of 24 years and then the whole vests with the Remainder over but now having attained the said age he hath a Fee and that by descent of the whole 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 the same Ancestor as of his other Lands And a Capias lieth also against him But Manwood Iustice conceived That if a general Iudgment be given against the Heir by default in such case a Capias doth not lie although in case of a false Plea it lieth But Dyer held the 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 Executor of the Heir CVIII Hill. 20 Eliz.

It was moved If that Decree were a lawfull Eviction by which the Covenant was broken It was holden by the Lord Dyer That the same was not any Eviction For although that in Conscience it be aequum that the said stranger have the possession yet the same is not by reason of any right paramount the title of the Lessor which was in the party for whom it was decreed CX The Marquess of Northamptons Case Hill. 20 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
hath not any estate in the later Acre for the cause aforesaid Afterwards It was moved What thing passed to the second Son by that Devise And the Lord Anderson conceived That the words in the Will Usually Occupied with it did amount to as much as Land let with it and then the 60 Acres were not let with it and therefore did not pass Windham Iustice held the contrary and he said Although they do not pass by the words Occupied with it yet it shall pass to the Son by the name of Jacks or the Lands appertaining to Jacks To which Anderson mutata opinione afterwards agreed CLXXXIV Wroth and the Countess of Sussex Case Pasch 28 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. Co. 6. Rep. 33. 1 Len. 35. 4 Len. 61. THe Case was this In Anno 4 5 of King Philip and Queen Mary A private Act of Parliament was made by which it was Enacted That the Mannor of Burnham was assured to the Countess of Sussex for her Ioynture with a Proviso in the Act That it should be lawful for the Earl of Sussex to may a Lease or Leases for 21 years and afterwards a year before the first Lease was ended he made another Lease for 21 years and this second Lease was to begin and take effect from the end of the first Lease And if this second Lease were a good Lease within the intent and meaning of the Act was the Question Popham the Queens Attorny General said That it was not 1. Because it was a Lease to begin at a day to come And 2. Because it was made before the first Lease was ended But he said It may be Objected That the Act saith Lease or Leases It is not the sense of the Act that he might make Leases in the Reversion but the sense and meaning of the Makers of the Act was That he might make Leases in possession and not Leases in futuro for if it should be so then he might make a Lease for 21 years to begin after his death which should be a great prejudice to the Countess and against the meaning of the Act which was made for her advantage The Lord Treasurer and Sir Walter Mildmay Knight have a Commission from the Queen to make Leases of the Queens Lands for 21 years because the Queen would not be troubled It was holden That by virtue of that Commission they could not make any Leases but Leases in possession only But all other Leases which did exceed the Term of 21 years and in Reversion were to pass by the hands of the Queen and her Attorny General and not by them only by virtue of their said Commission And if I grant to one power before the Statute to make Leases of my Land for 21 years he cannot make any Lease but only Leases in possession and he cannot Lease upon Lease for by the same reason that he might make one Lease to begin in futuro by the same reason he might make 20 several Leases to begin in futuro and so frustrate the Intent of the Act. It was Marshall's Case upon the Statute of 1 Eliz. of Leases to be made by Bishops The Bishop of Canturbury made a Lease to him for one and twenty years and afterwards he made a Lease unto another for 21 years to begin at the end of the first Lease And it was holden That the second Lease was void But in the great Case which was in the Exchequer-Chamber upon this Point There the second Lease was in possession and to begin presently and to run on with the other Lease and therefore it was adjudged to be good because the Land was charged with more than 21 years in the whole And if the Earl had done so here it had been a good Lease Wray Iustice said That if the second Lease had been made but two or three years before the expiration of the first Lease that then it had been utterly void but being made but 2 or 3 days or months before the expiration of the first Lease he doubted If it should be void or not The Statute of 32 H. 8. makes Leases for 21 years to be good from the day of the date thereof And a Lease was made to begin at a day to come And yet it was holden by two of the Iustices in the Court of Common Pleas That it was a good Lease And by two other Iustices of the same Court it was holden the Lease was not good And Clench Iustice said That there was no difference If it be by one Deed or by two Deeds And therefore he held That if the Earl had made a Lease for 21 years and within a year another the same had been void if it were by one Deed or two Deeds for that he did exceed his authority And he said In the principal Case If there had not been a Proviso he could not have made a Lease and therefore the Proviso which gave a power to make a Lease for 21 years should be taken strictly There was a Case of the Lord Marquess of c. that it should be lawful for him to make Leases for 21 years by a Statute And he made another Lease to begin after the end or expiration of the first Lease and it was doubted Whether it were a good Lease or not because he had not made any Lease before But if both were made by force of the Statute all held That the second Lease was void At another day the Case was argued by Daniel for the Lease in Reversion to begin at a day to come And he said That in a Statute the words alone are not to be considered but also the meaning of the parties and they are not to be severed Also he said That a Statute-Law is to be expounded by the Common-Law And by the Common-Law If one giveth power unto another to make Leases of his Lands he might make Leases in Reversion because an Authority is to be taken most beneficially for them for whose cause it was given So that if a Man grant an authority to another to make Estates of his Lands by those general words he may make Leases for years or for life Gifts in tail Feoffments or any Estates whatsoever If one gives a Commission to another to make Leases for one and twenty years of his Lands he may make a Lease in Reversion and so it was holden in the Dutchy in the Case between Alcock and Hicks Also he said That this Lease was a good Lease by the Statute-Law For the Statute of Rich. 3. gives authority to Cestuy que Use that he may make Estates in Reversion The Statute of 27 H. 8. which gives authority to the Chief Officer of the Court of Surveyors to make Leases if it had stayed there he might have made Leases in Reversion Therefore the Statute goes further and saith Proviso That he shall not make a Lease in Reversion See 19 Eliz. Dyer 357. The Statute of 35 H. 8. of Leases to be made by the Husbands
not bind him to that nor did prescribe any time but left the same generally Yet it was the Opinion of the whole Court That he should have the Averment at the time of the Voucher or not at all So the Statute of 11 H 7. Cap. 20. If a Woman who hath a Ioynture for life or in tail suffereth a Recovery and afterwards the Issue in tail releaseth all his Right by Fine and dieth his Issue may enter for the assent ought to be by Voucher in the same Action or the like for if there be a mean instant between the Recovery and the Assent then any assent after is nothing to the purpose for the Recovery being once void by the Statute cannot be made good by an assent afterwards See Doctor and Student 54. And yet the Statute is Provided That the Statute shall not extend to any such Recovery c. if the next Heir be assenting to the same Recovery c. so as the same assent or agreement be of Record or inrolled And it doth not say That the Assent should be at one time or at another But to come to Leases upon Statutes Before the Statute of 2 E. 6. Cap. 8. If Leases had not been found by Offices the Lessees should have been ousted and put to their traverse But put Case that after that Statute a Lease made to begin at a day to come were not found by Office should it be helped by that Statute No truly And so it is holden in the Court of Wards at this day and the Lord Chief Iustice of England held so in his Reading at Lincolns-Inn The Statute of 1 Eliz. of Leases to be made by Bishops is That Leases other than for 21 years from the time that they begin that is when they may take effect as Deeds and not when they shall take effect to be executed For so they might make Leases infinite c.

IN a Replevin brought by Lewen Doctor of the Civil Law against Mody who made Conusans as Bailiff to one Fowke and shewed That 14 Elizabeth the morrow of the Purification a Fine was levied between Lovelace and Rutland Plaintiffs and the said Fowke and other Deforceants by which Fine the said Deforceants acknowledged the said Mannor to be the right of the said Lovelace and Rutland come ceo c. And the said Lovelace and Rutland by the same Fine granted and rendred to the said Fowke a Rent of 20 l. per annum in Fee out of the said Mannor And for the Rent arrear c. And the Plaintiff in bar of the Conusans shewed That the said Fowke being seised of the said Rent granted the same to one Horden c. Vpon which Grant they were at Issue And the Iury found That the said Fowke being seised of the said Rent by Indenture reciting That whereas a Fine was levied between Fowke and 7 others Plaintiffs and Lovelace and Rutland Deforceants as the rest ut supra granted redditum praedict to Horden and further found that no other Fine was levied between the parties aforesaid but the said Fine and that the parties to the Fine were seised of the Mannor at the time of the Fine levied and of no other Land And if this Rent so described by the said Indenture should pass or not was the Question And it is to be observed That the Indenture of Grant between Fowke and Horden recited a Fine of the Mannor of Coleshall inter alia where the Iury have found That the Fine was levied of the said Mannor only And it was argued by Shuttleworth That the said Rent did not pass to Horden by the said Indenture for the Rent bescribed by the Indenture is not the Rent which was granted by the Fine And if I let Lands for years to A. and afterwards A. grants the Land which B. holds of me the Grantis void As 13 E. 3. Grants 63. Land is given to Husband and Wife for their lives And the Lessor grants the Reversion of the Land which the Husband holdeth for life nothing passeth Walmesley contrary The variance in the Fine shall not avoid the Grant For the Indenture of the Rent agrees with the Fine in the Term in the year of the Reign and in the name of the parties to the Fine in the quantity of the Rent and in the Land charged the only difference is in the phrase of Law Deforceant for Plaintiff and it is granted that that is but a matter of Circumstance and not of substance Snag Serjeant contrary And first he took Exception to the Verdict for this that a special Verdict is given upon a special Absque hoc And the Lord Anderson interrupted him That it was a clear Case That such a Verdict upon such an Issue might be found And so it was adjudged in the Case between Vavasour and Doleman Fenner argued as Walmesley The Grant agrees with the Fine in the points of greatest importance and one falsity shall not prejudice it where there are so many verities which may induce the Court to judge That the Rent granted by the Indenture is the Rent created by the Fine and in a Fine the substance is not Who was Deforceant who was Plaintiff but who was party to the Fine And that some of the parties to the Fine were seised of the Land of which the Fine is levied And if the Indenture had been Whereas such a Rent was granted by a Fine levied between A. and B. without shewing who was Plaintiff and who Deforceant it had been good enough And although that in this Case the Plaintiff and Deforceant are mis-set down yet the same shall not make the Grant void for utile per inutile non vitiatur So if I reciting The Original Grant was made to me by Indenture Tripartite between A. of the first part B. of the second part and my self of the third part whereas the Indenture it self is Between myself of the first part the same is not material c. For such a small mistaking shall not avoid the Grant. So if I by my Deed reciting That whereas I am possessed of certain Lands for Term of years of the Demise of Sir Christopher Hatton Knight Treasurer of England whereas in truth he is Chancellor that mistaking of the Dignity shall not prejudice the Grant. And it was Agreed by all the Iustices If the said Fine had been pleaded at it is recited in the Indenture mistaking the Plaintiff and Deforceant he who had so pleaded it had failed of his Record But in the Case at Bar the reciting who was Plaintiff who Defendant was matter of surplusage and therefore it shall not hurt the party As 23 Eliz.

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.

As Tenant in tail makes a Lease for years not warranted by the Statute and dieth the Issue alieneth the Land by Fine before affirmation or disaffirmation of the Lease by acceptance or Entry the Conusee cannot avoid this Lease for the Liberty is not transferred Which Gawdy Iustice concessit And Election cannot be transferred over to the prejudice of another person As if a Rent de novo be granted to the Father in Fee who dieth before Election the Heir cannot make it an Annuity to defeat the Dower of the Wife quod Curia concessit It was also moved by Brantingham If the Lessee might enter upon the Conusee of the Statute after his Extent expired without suing forth a Scire facias But the Court discharged him from arguing that Point for that by the Death of the Lady Mountjoy the Extent was void and therefore the Feoffee or Conusee might avoid it by Entry And so Wray Chief Iustice said it had been adjudged in the Court of Common Pleas. At another day the Case was argued by Stephens on the part of
Len. 55. 1 Len. 333. The Abbot and Covent of D. 29 H. 8. makes a Lease of certain Lands for 3 Lives to begin after the death of one J.S. if they shall so long live And afterwards 30 H. 8. within a year before the Dissolution they make another Lease to JS If the first Lease in the life of J.S. be such an Estate and Interest which by vertue of the said Statute shall make the second Lease void was the Question For it was not in esse but a future Interest Manwood All the reason which hath been made for the second Lease is because the first Lease is but a possibility for J.S. by possibility may survive all the 3 Lives and so it shall never take effect But notwithstanding be it a possibility c. or otherwise It is such a thing as may be granted or forfeited and that during the life of the said J.S. And Note also the words of the Statute If any Abbot c. within one year next before the first day of the Parliament hath made or hereafter shall make any Lease or Grant for years life or lives of any Mannors c. whereof and in which any Estate or Interest for life or years at the time of the making of any such Lease or Grant then had his being or continuance or hereafter shall have his being or continuance and then was not determined c. shall be void c. And here is an Interest and that not determined at the time of the making of this Lease to J.S. And of that Opinion was the whole Court and all the Barons and divers other of the Iustices And therefore a Decree was made against that Lease c. CCXVII The Master and Chaplains of the Savoy's Case Mich. 29 Eliz. In the Exchequer THe Master and Chaplains of the Savoy aliened a parcel of their possessions unto another in Fee and afterwards surrendred their Patents and a Vacat is made of the Enrollment of them It was now moved How the Alienee should be adjudged to make title to the said Lands claiming the same by the Letters Patents For the Clerks would not make a Constat of it For the Patents were cancelled and a Vacat made of the Enrolment And the Case of Sir Robert Sidney was vouched in which Case the Statute of 3 E. 6. was so expounded upon great advise taken by the Lord Chancellor who thereupon commanded That no Constat be made in such case Manwood If Tenant in tail by Letters Patents of the King surrendreth his Patent and cancelleth it and a Vacat be made of the Enrollment by that the Issue in tail shall be bound For no other person at the time of the cancelling hath Interest But in the Case at Bar a third person scil the Alienee hath an Interest And therefore he was of Opinion That he should have a Constat c. CCXVIII Inchely and Robinson's Case Hill. 29 Eliz. In the Common Pleas. IN an Ejectione Firmae It was found by Verdict That King E. 6. was seised of the Mannor and Hundred of Fremmington 2 Len. 41. Owen Rep. 88. and granted the same by his Letters Patents to one Barnard in Fee rendring 130 l. per annum and also to be holden by Homage and Fealty And afterwards Queen Mary reciting the said Grant by King Ed. 6. and the Reservation upon it granted unto Gertrude Marchioness of Exeter the Mannor of Fremmington and the said Rent and Services and also the Mannor of Camfield and other Lands and Tenements Tenendum per vicesimam partem unius feodi Militis Gertrude being so seised Devised to the Lord Mountjoy the Mannor of Fremmington the Mannor of Camfield c. And also bequeathed divers sums of Monies to be levied of the premises And further found that the said Rent of 130 l. was the full third part of the yearly value of all the Lands and Tenements of the Devisor The Question was If by these words of the Devise of the Mannor of Fremmington the Rent and the Services pass i.e. the Rent Homage and Fealty reserved upon the Grant made by King Ed. 6. of the Mannor and Hundred of Fremmington And if the said Rent and Services are issuing out of the Mannor For if the Rent doth not pass then the same is descended to the Heir of the Marchioness and then being found the full third part of the value the King is fully answered and satisfied and then the residue of the Inheritance discharged and is settled in the Devisee And if the Rent doth not pass then is the Heir of the Marchioness entituled by the Statute to a third of the whole c. And Shuttleworth conceived That if the Marchioness had Devised by express words the said Rent and Services they could not pass For as to the Services they are things entire as Homage and Fealty they cannot pass by Devise in case where Partition is to follow for such things cannot receive any partition or division therefore not divideable For the Statute enables the Proprietary to give or devise two parts of his Inheritance in three parts to be divided As Catalla Felonum cannot be devised for the reason aforesaid Quod fuit Concessum per totam Curiam But as to the Rent the Court was clear That the same was deviseable by the said Statute and in respect of that the mischief of many distresses which the Common Law abhors is dispensed with and is now become distrainable of common right And as to the Devise he argued much upon the grounds of Devises and put a ground put by Fineux 15 H. 7. 12. Where every Will ought to be construed and taken according as the words purport or as it may be intended or implyed by the words What the intent of the Devisor was so as we ought to enquire the meaning of the Testator out of the words of the Will. And see also a good Case 19 H 8. 8 9. And he much relyed upon the Case of Bret and Rigden Plow Com. 343. See there the Case So in this Case for as much as such Intent of the Devisor doth not appear upon the words of the Will that this Rent shall pass It shall not pass for there is not any mention of any Rent in the whole Will. Fenner argued to the contrary and he argued much upon the favourable Construction which the Law gives to Wills. 14 H. 8. by Reversion for remainder e contra 17 E. 3. 8. A Man may make a Feoffment in Fee of a Mannor by the name of a Knights Fee a multo fortiori in the Cases of Devises And in our Case the Marchioness conceived That the Rent and Services reserved out of the Mannor of Fremmington was the Mannor of Fremmington and that the Law would give strength to that intent Walmesley conceived That the Rent did not pass by the name of the Mannor c. for this Rent noc in veritate nec in reputatione was ever taken for a Mannor
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. Br. Avowry 71. In a Recordare the Defendant avowed because the King is seised of the Castle of C. in jure Ducatus sui Cornub. to which he had 20 s. Rent out of the Town of D. 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. In the Kings Bench. 2 Len. 129.193 1 Cro. 52. IN Ejectione Firmae It was found That one Hawkins was seised of 3 Messuages in Bury in Fee and had Issue Robert his Son and Christien and Joan Daughters And Devised all his said Messuages to his Wife for life the remainder of one of the said Messuages to his Son Robert and his Heirs the remainder of another of his said Messuages to his Daughter Christien and her Heirs the remainder of the third to Joan and her Heirs And further willed That if any of his said Issues died without Issue of his body that then the other surviving should have totam illam partem c. between them equally to be divided The Devisor died The Wife of the Devisor died Joan died having Issue Robert died without Issue Christien entred into the whole Messuage of Robert and died and her Husband held in as Tenant by the Curtesie Cook The surviving Child shall have the whole and the Issue of Joan shall have nothing And he conceived That by this Devise they have an Estate in tail for the Fee is not vested in them for that it is incertain which of them shall survive but when one doth survive then he shall have the Fee for these words totam illam partem go to the whole Estate as well as to the whole Land. 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
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
the first Lessee and so by acceptance of this new Lease the first Lease is determined And now we are to see if the things in the former Grant are necessary to be recited the Estate in the Land and the Tenant not necessary The Reservation Condition Covenant and the Date The reason wherefore the Estate ought to be recited is to this purpose that the King might know and be enformed how far the Land is encumbred with other Estates c. but that reason is of no effect in our Case when the second Patent is made to the first Lessee for by the acceptance of the new Estate the first Interest is gone wherefore of that there needs no recital The second reason wherefore such former Lease ought to be recited is to the intent That the new Patentee may not have colour or countenance by reason of his Patent to do wrong to the first Patentee who hath the present possession by disturbing of him by Entry or Suit for all the truth of the matter appears in his own Letters Patents and the true Estate of the Tenant in possession But that reason hath not any force in our Case for the second Estate is made to him who hath the former Estate The reason wherefore the present Tenant ought to be mentioned in the second Letters Patents is so as the Queen may be ascertained what manner of person he is who is the present possessor for it may be he is such to whom the Queen hath given such Estate upon special favour for his good Service and in recompence thereof and that she will not disgrace the party so much as to give his Farm to another over his head which might be much to the discomfort and prejudice of him in possession which the Queen peradventure would not do if she had full intelligence of it but rather advantage him with it and not let it to any other person But in our Case here there is not any such matter of mischief But it is good to consider what Tenant ought to be specified in the Recital Assuredly the most sure way is the Patentee himself to whom the Lease was originally made although he be dead or hath assigned his Interest over For it may be dangerous to rely upon the Tenant who hath the possession for it may be that another hath the Interest although he hath the possession and then the recital is false wherefore it is best to say by way of recital Cum dimisimus c. And as to the Land the same also ought to be recited by the same name in such form and by the same words as it was granted before in the former Grant and yet if the name was mis-recited in the former Grant it ought not to be so in the second As if the King Grant the Mannor of Little-Court by the name of the Mannor of Litt-cote or the Mannor of Wellington by the name of the Mannor of Welton the same is good by the Statute But if a new Grant is to be made of the same in which the first Grant is to be recited now the former mis-recital shall not be put in ure but the very name but in this special manner that is where the King hath demised the Mannor of Little-cote by the name of the Mannor of Litt-cote c. So where a Mannor is known by two names and the Queen leaseth the same by one of the said Names and afterwards Grants the same by the other name The Recital ought to be That whereas the Queen hath demised the Mannor of D. by the name of the Mannor of S. c. And as to the recital of the Estate the Habendum in the first Patent ought to be recited and all that which preceeds the Reddendum for in that the Estate is fully contained But here in our Case such recitals are not necessary for it is impertinent to make recital of the same which is determined eo instante that the new Patent is made and that by reason of a matter precedent although that all be done eodem instanti and as to an Instant the same is not to be considered in Law as it is in Logick as a point of time and no parcel of time But in our Law things which are to be done in an instant have in consideration of law a priority of time in them As Lessee for life makes a Lease for years they both Surrender to him in the Reversion the same Surrender which is made in an instant shall in Law be understood to have degrees The Surrender of Lessee for years to the Tenant for life and then the Surrender of Tenant for life So in our Case the determination of the first Lease shall be first 1 E. 3. 6. The Tenant took the Seignioresse to Wife had Issue the Wife died the Husband shall not be Tenant by the Curtesie for although the Seigniory was in him at the time of the Marriage yet by priority in Law it ceased so as no seisin of the Seigniory was during the Coverture So in our Case eo instante that this new Patent is made the first Estate is determined yet in construction of Law the Surrender shall be said precedent and then the said Estate needs not to be recited For if there had been an express Surrender in fact there had not been any doubt that recital was not necessary Ergo neither in the Case of a Surrender in Law. As to that which hath been Objected That the Grant of the Queen cannot enure to two Intents scil to make a Surrender and also to make a new Lease The same Rule is true where both Intents enure and work against the King But whereas the one Intent serves and works for the benefit of the King it is otherwise As in our Case This Surrender is for the benefit of the King therefore it shall be taken c. as 6 H. 8. The King Grants Land to another durante beneplacito and afterwards the same Patentee purchaseth a new Estate from the King here needs not any recital of the former for the second Estate is made to the first Patentee and the first Estate is determined by the acceptance of the second 3 Eliz. The Case of the Earl of Arrundel was this The Lord John Gray being Lessee for years of a House called Hull-rake of the Lease of the Queen afterwards took a Grant from the Queen of the Custody of the same Messuage with a Fee for it and that was without recital of the former Lease and the Grant holden good and yet it did enure to two Intents to a Surrender of the Lease and a Grant of the Custody but both the Intents were not against the Queen for the Surrender was for Her benefit As to the Lease made 13 Eliz. it is utterly void for mis-reciting of the date of the former Lease made 2 Mar. for the very date of the said Lease was the 11th of May and in the Recital it is the 21 of May. For
the Plaintiff That the Grant was before the Lease It was holden by the Court That this Release was meerly void for here was not any Interest to be released but a power to present and an Authority annexed to the person And afterwards by the Award of the Court the Writ was abated See 11 Eliz. Dyer 253. CCCXLI Woodward and Bagg's Case Hill. 32 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. WOodward Libelled in the Spiritual Court against Bagg and Nelson for Tythes of certain Lands called Christen Hill. Roll. 63. 2 Len. 29. 3 Cro. 188. Owen Rep. 103. The Defendant sued a Prohibition and surmised That one Pretiman was seised of the said Land and in Consideration of 5 l. by him paid to the said Parson It was agreed betwixt them That the said Pretiman and his Assigns should be discharged of Tythes of the Land during his life and afterwards the said Pretiman leased the same to the Defendants upon which a Prohibition was granted And it was holden That the party need not to make proof thereof within 6 Months for it is not within the Statute because a Composition with the same Parson But now a Consultation was granted because the Agreement is shewed but no Deed of it which cannot be any discharge But if it had been for a time scil unica vice it had been good but for life not Also it is not an express grant of the Tythes but only a Covenant and Agreement that he shall be discharged upon which he may have an Action of Covenant but not a Prohibition It was said on the other side That although without Deed Tythes cannot pass in point of Interest yet by way of discharge they might Cook It was holden betwixt Pendleton and Green That upon such words of Covenant and Agreement the party should hold the Land discharged of Tythes which was denyed For if the Grantee of a Rent Charge will grant it to the Tenant of the Land the same without Deed is not good And there was very lately a Case between Westbede and Pepper Where it was agreed betwixt the Parson and one of his Parish That for 20 s. Rent by the year the Parishioner should be discharged of Tythes for 20 years if he so long lived And it was holden That no Prohibition should lie upon it a fortiori where the Estate is for life Gawdy In the Case of grant of Tythes for life a Deed is requisite but here it is noâ— but a Contract for Mony c. See 21 H 6. 43. Wray If it had been for years it had been good enough but here is not any Contract but only a discharge for life which cannot be during his life without Deed. And afterwards the Record was read which was That Concordatum aggreatum fuit between the parties pro omnibus decimis during the time that the one should be Parson and the other Occupier of the said Land That in Consideration of 5 l. the said Pretiman and his Assigns should hold the said Land discharged of Tythes Wray The same is no Contract but a Promise for he doth not grant any Tythes Afterwards a Consultation was awarded CCCXLII Sanderson and Ekins's Case Mich. 32 Eliz.

IN Debt upon a Loan by Sanderson against Ekins who waged his Law and at the day being ready to wage his Law the Court examined him And upon examination it appeared That the Plaintiff and Defendant were reciprocally endebted the one to the other And upon Conference betwixt them before the Action brought there was an Accord betwixt them That the Plaintiff should give to the Defendant such a sum which he had done and that the one should go quit against the other And it was the clear Opinion of the whole Court That upon the matter the Defendant could not wage his Law for a Debt cannot be extinguished by word CCCXLIII The Dean and Chapter of Windsors Case Mich. 32 Eliz. In the Exchequer IN this Case It was moved If he who hath a Rectory impropriate 1 Len. 146. and by the Statute of 26 H. 8. is to pay an Annual Rent for the same in the name of a Tenth and thereby is discharged of all First-fruits and Tenths shall have the Priviledge of the Exchequer for he is to pay the same sum yearly And it was the Opinion of the Barons That he should not For so every one who is to pay any Tenths or First-fruits should draw other who have sued him into the Exchequer And so all Controversies concerning Tythes and Parsonages should be drawn thither which should be a great prejudice to the Spiritual Courts But Egerton Solicitor vouched a Case viz. Coniers's Case The King gave a Parsonage to a Priory in Frankalmoign and the Tythes thereof being withdrawn The Prior impleaded him who withdrew the Tythes in the Exchequer And it was holden That the Prior should have the Priviledge for the King is endangered to lose his Patronage or rather his Foundership if the Rectory be evicted Gent Baron The Kings Tenant in Chief or he who pays First-fruits or he who holds of the Queen in Fee-Farm shall not have in such respect the Priviledge here CCCXLIV Sledd's Case Mich. 32 Eliz.

And the Collector exhibited a Bill against Sledd Who shewed by his Counsel That the Statute of 29 Eliz. which enacted this Fifteenth Provides That the said Fifteenth shall be levied of the moveable Goods Chattels and other things usual to such Fifteenths and Tenths to be Contributory and chargeable And shewed further That his Beasts distrained fuerunt tempore districtionis upon the Glebe-Land of a Parsonage presentative which he had in Lease which Glebe-Land is not chargeable usually to Fifteenths granted by the Temporalty nor the Cattel upon it It was the Opinion of the Iustices That although the Parson himself shall pay Tenths to the King yet the Lay-Farmor shall pay Fifteenths and his Cattel are distrainable for the same upon the Glebe-Lands of the Parsonage And therefore it was awarded That the Distress and the Sale were lawful CCCXLV.

It was holden in this Case by Walmesley Periam and Windham Iustices That E. should be chargeable with the Arrearages to the Executors Anderson Chief Iustice held the contrary But they all agreed That the Lord by Escheat Tenant in Dower or by the Curtesie should not be chargeable for they did not claim by the Party only but also by the Law. CCCLIV. Leverett and Townsend's Case Trin. 32 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. IN an Action upon the Case for disturbing him of hs Common 3 Cro. 198. 2 Len. 184. The Plaintiff declared That he was seised in Fee of a Messuage and certain Lands And that he and all those whose Estate he hath have Common of Pasture in 16 Acres of Lands called D. from the time that the Corn is reaped until it be sowen again And also Common of Pasture in Land called R. omni tempore anni as appendant to the said Messuage and Land and that the Defendant had plowed the said Lands and so disturbed him of his Common It was moved in stay of Iudgment That it appeareth here that the Plaintiff was seised in Fee and so he ought to have an Assise and not an Action upon the Case But the Exception was disallowed by the Court. Vide inde Ante 13. 2 H. 4. 11. 8 Eliz. Dyer 250. 11 R. 2. Tit. Action upon the Case 36. CCCLV. The Chamberlain of London's Case Mich. 33 Eliz. In the Kings Bench. THE Chamberlain of London brought an Action of Debt in the Mayors Court in Guild-hall 5 Co. grounded upon an Act of Common Council See C. 5 Part The matter was removed into the Kings Bench by Corpus cum causa Fleetwood Recorder of London prayed a Procedendo It was Objected That they of London could not make Ordinances to bind the Subjects as an Act of Parliament To which It was said by Fleetwood That the Custom of the City is That the Mayor and Aldermen and four persons chosen out of each Ward by the Communalty may make Ordinances which they call Acts of Common Council and they shall bind every Citizen and Free-man and all their Customs are confirmed by Act of Parliament and by Magna Charta which hath been confirmed 52 times and also by the Statute of 7 R. 2. For that King seised their Liberties and drove them to pay for the Redemption of them 100000 Marks and then the said King confirmed them unto them for ever and therefore this Ordinance being made according to our Custom ought not to be impeached As in Case of matters of the Forrest If one be punished for offending against an Ordinance made for the governing of the Affairs of the Forrest you cannot remove the matter before you So is the Law called Lex Idumaea concerning Rivers and Fishing in which are divers Ordinances That none shall kill Salmons at certain Seasons of the year and so of other Fishes If one be punished by force of such Law he shall not be relieved here for the Law of the Land hath always allowed such particular Customs And see F. B. If two Merchants put their Stocks together and so Traffick together and the one dieth The Survivor shall not have the whole Stock as the Common Law is but the Executor of him that dieth shall have an Accompt against the other and that is per Legem mercatoriam Cook to the same intent This Act of Common Council is good and according to the Law that is of Common Right There are divers Statutes made for the true making of Cloth and to take away the abuses and deceit in the making of it and this Act of Common Council is for the well executing of the said Statutes and I conceive there is a difference in making of Laws by a Corporation A Corporation may make an Act for the better executing of any Law established at the Common Law but new Laws they cannot make As those of a Town who have used to have Common in certain Lands they cannot make a By-Law That such a one in such a Town shall not have Common there but that none shall use his Common but at such a time such a By-Law made is good See 15 H. 7. 21 H. 7. 40. See 8 E. 2. tit Assise 413. A Town had Common of Turbary in a Marsh and divers of the Inhabitants of the Town had made Trenches in the said Marsh and some had not a full Foot of Land in the Town and such persons by their Trenches which they had made there used to carry Turffs out of the said Marsh by Boats and sell them unto the value of 20 Marks per annum to their great private profit and to the great grievance of the others For which cause It was provided by common assent of the Freeholders of the Lord of the said Town That all the Trenches in the said Marsh should be stopped so as from thenceforth no Turffs be carried in Boats by the Trenches And there it was holden That if the greater part of the Commoners assent the same shall bind the others who have not assented for ubi major pars ibi totum And then if such Towns may make Laws a fortiori The City of London Secondly This Law is good by Custom for they have used to make such Acts and Ordinances time out of mind c. and these Customs are confirmed by Act of Parliament and also they may appoint a penalty for to what purpose otherwise should they make an Act Oderunt peccare mali formidine poenae Also this Action is maintainable for an Amercement in a Court Baron an Action of Debt lieth Gawdy Iustice 44 E. 3. 19.
