But when Tenant for life leases for years except the Timber Trees the same remaineth yet annexed to his Free-hold and he may command the Lessee to take them for necessary Reparations of his Houses And in the said Case of Sanders a Judgment is cited between Foster and Miles Plaintiffs and Spencer and Bourd Defendants That where Lessee for years assigns over his Term except the Trees that Wast in such Case shall be brought against the Assignee But in this Case without question Wast lyeth against Tenant for life and so there is a difference Mich. 7 Jac.

For that Humphry who granted to the Prior had nothing in it nothing passing to his Ancestor by these words Manâ—rium cum pertinentiis 2. Or for that having no more but an Estate Tayl by his death his Grant was void But Resolved by the Lord Chancellor Ellesmere with the principal Judges and upon consideration of Presidents that the Plaintiff shall enjoy the Rectory for though by any thing which can now be shewn the Impropriation is defective yet it shall be now intended in regard of the antient and continual possession that there was a lawfull grant of the King to the said Humphry who granted in Fee so that he might lawfully grant it to the said Priory Omnia pâ—â—sumitur Solâ—mniter esse acta And all shall be presumed to be done which might make the antient Impropriation good And antient Grants and Acts shall not be drawn in question though they cannot be shewn for Tempus edâ—x rerum Letters Patents and Writings may consume be lost or imbezilled And therefore the Church was allowed to be rightfully impropriate and the rather in regard of the antient and long possession of the Owners of the said Rectory Mich. 4. Jac. Regis Case of Forfeiture by Treason Hill 43 Eliz. A Case was moved to all the Justices Tenant in Tayl before the Statute of 27 H. 8. made a Feoffment in Fee to the use of himself and his Wife in Tayl. And after the said Statute the Husband was attaint of High Treason 31 H. 8. and dyed The Wife continued in possession and dyed their Issue enter and die and this descends to his Issue and all this found by Office The Question was if the Issue in Tayl or the King shall have the Land 1. And it was objected that the antient Estate Tayl cannot be forfeited because it was discontinued and such right of Action cannot be forfeited As was agreed in the Marquess of Winchesters Case 2. The Feoffor himself in this Case had not any right to the antient Estate Tayl it being extinguished by his Feoffment and therefore by his Attaint could not forfeit what he had not 3. The Issue in Tayl in remitted to that antient right which cannot be forfeited And the new Estate Tayl derived under the discontinuance which may be forfeited by the Statute 26 H. 8. cap. 13. is continued and by Act in Law viz. the discent and remitter avoided And the Kings Estate may be divested out of the King by remitter As if Tenant in Tail grant Land to the King c. and the King grant the Land to the Tenant in Tail for life the remainder to his Son and Heirs for life Tenant for life dies the Issue by and in Law is remitted and the Kings Estate is divested out of him This accords with Plow Com. 489. Nicols Case 1. Resolved that in this Case the Issue in Tail is barred for though right of Action cannot be given to the King by the 26 H. 8. yet when Tenant in Tail discontinues his Estate to the use of himself in Tail and after is attaint of Treason now by that Statute he doth not onely forfeit the new Estate in Tail but by this the right of the antient Estate is barred for ever And so note out of the said Statute a diversity between a naked right of Action not forfeitable and an Estate of Inheritance forfeiâ—able coupled with an antient right for which the Forfeiture of the possession is barred by the said Act And iâ— is not like the Case in Plow Com. of Remitter for this is no barre of an antient right Pasch 4 Jac. Regis Case at a Committee aoncerning Bishops At this Parliament held Pasch 4 Jac.

Admitting them Bishops yet the manner and form of their Seals Stiles Process and Proceeding in their Ecclesiastical Courts were not consonant to Law Because by the Statute 1 Ed. 6. cap. 2. it is provided That thenceforth Bishops should not be Elective but Donative by Letters-Patents of the King And for that at this day all Bishops were made by Election not Donation of the King therefore the saâ—d Bishops are not lawful 2.

Sammes should be in Ward to the King or no And in this Case three Points were Resolved 1. Forasmuch as George was not named in the Premisses he cannot take by the Habendum and the Livery according to the Indenture gives nothing to George it being to him as void but though the Feoffment be good onely to John and his Heirs yet the use limited to John and George and their Heirs is good 2. If the Estate had been conveyed to John and his Heirs by the Release c. as it may well be to a Tenant by Copy of Court Roll the use limited to them is good 3. But the third was of greater doubt If in this Case the Father and Son were Joint-Tenants or Tenants in common And it was Resolved That they were Joint-Tenants and that the Son in the Case at Bar should have the said Grange by the Survivor for if at the Common-Law A. had been enfeoffed to the use of him B. and their Heirs though that he was onely seized of the Land the use was jointly to A. and B. for a use shall not be suspended or extinct by a sole Seizin or joint Seizin of the Land and therefore if A. and B. be enfeoffed to the use of A. and his Heirs And A. dyeth the entire use shall descend to his Heirs as appears 13 H. 7. 6. in Stoner's Case and by the Statute of 27 H. 8. cap. 10. Of Uses And when it was said that the Estate of the Land which the Father hath in it as to the moiety of the use which he himself hath shall not be devested out of him To that it was Answered and Resolved That that shall well be for if a man make a Feoffment in Fee to one to the use of him and the Heirs of his body in this Case for the benefit of the Issue the Statute of Uses devests the Estate vested in him by Common-Law and executes the same in himself by force of the Statute And it is to be known that an Use of Land which is but a pernency of Profits is no new thing but part of that which the Owner of the Land had and therefore if Tenant in Borough-English or a man seized on the part of his Mother make a Feoffment to another without consideration the younger Son in the one case and the Heir on the part of the Mother on the other shall have the use as they should have the Land it self if no Feoffment had been made as it is holden 5 E. 4. 7.

Rent and afterwards bargains and sells the reversion 〈◊〉 one Acre the whole Rent is gone because the Contract is entire c. Also the Lessee by that shall be subject to two Fealâ—â—es where he was subject but to one before To these Points it was answered and Resolved That the Contract was not entire but that the same by Act of the Lessor and Consent of the Lessee might be divided and severed for the Rent is incident to the Reversion and the Reversion is severable and by consequence the Rent also for accessorium sequitur naturam suâ— principâ—lis And as to the two Fealties to that the Lessee shall be subject though the Rent

Note This Plea began Trin. 5 Jac. Rot. 1405. and upon Argument at the Bar and Bench 1. It was Resolved by the whole Court That it ought to be found against the Defendant who had traversed the Prescription For though all the two Yard-Lands had been demised for years yet the Prescription made by the Plaintiff is true But if he would take advantage of the matter in Law he ought confessing the Common to have pleaded the said Lease but when he traverseth the Prescription he cannot give the same in Evidence 2. Resolved That if the said Lease had been pleaded that the Common during the Lease for years is not suspended or discharged for each of them shâ—ll have Common rateable and in such manner that the Land in which c. shall not be surcharged 3. Resolved That Common appendant to Land is as much as to say for Cattel leuant and couchant upon the Land in which c. 4. There is no difference when the Prescription is for Cattel leuant and couchant and for a certain numbâ—r of Cattel leuant and couchant But when the Prescription is for Common appurtenant to Land there a certain number of the Cattel ought to be expressed which are intended by the Law to be leuant and couchant Hill 7 Jac.
