And a man cannot make a Mannor at this day though that he gives Land in tayl to hold of him and by suit of his Court for he cannot make a Court for a Court cannot be but by continuance And so a Man may make a tenure but no Mannor nor Court for a Mannor and Court cannot be but by usage had de tempore cujus contrarium memoria hominum non existit Testament Testament by a Feme Covert of the assent of the husband See Tit Devise A man devises his Land to I S this shall be taken but for term of his life but if he saith paying a 100. l. to W N this shall be intended a Fee-simple and if he doth not pay it in his life yet if his Heir or Executor pay it that suffises Quaere of his Assignee 29 H 8.
