and therefore he vouched a case between Scockwood and Sear where a man devised part of his land to his wife for life and another part of his land until Michaelmas next ensuing his death and further by the said will he devised to his younger son all his lands not devised to his wife and adjudged that by the said words the younger son shall have only that parcel which was devised to the wife for life and not that which was devised unto her till Michaelmas and yet by Popham it appeareth that his intent was otherwise viz. that all that should go to his younger son so there ought not to be a strained construction made against the heir and so in our case the words being that if he die without issue c. that then it shall go to his wife herein as much as he had issue at the time of his death it cannot be said that he died without issue but that he is dead without issue and this appeareth by the pleading in the Lord Bartleys case in Plowden and he vouched also a case in the Kings Bench 4. Jac. between Miller and Robinson where a man devised to Thomas his son and if he die without issue having no son there it was holden that if the devisee had issue a son yet if he had none at the time of his death the devisee in the remainder shall have it yet he was once a person having a son and so in our case there was a person who did not die without issue and he vouched also the case of Bold and Mollineux in 28. H. 8. Dyer fo 15.3 when a man deviseth to his wife for life paying a yearly rent to his sister and that if the rent be not paid that the sister may distrain it seems to me that this is a conditional estate in the wife notwithstanding the limitation of the distress and he vouched 18. Eliz. in Dyer 348. which as he said proved the case expresly for there in such a case it is adjudged that the devisee of the rent may after demand thereof distrain and yet the heir may enter for the not payment of the rent although it were never demanded so that the subsequent words of distraining do not qualifie the force of the condition although there be there an express condition and in our case but a condition implyed and he said that it seemed reasonable that such a construction for the distress and condition also shall stand as appeareth by divers cases that upon such words the Law will allow a double remedy and therefore he vouched Gravenors case in the Common Pleas Hill 36. Eliz. Rot. 1322. where a lease was made by Magdalen Colledge to husband and wife so that if the husband alien that the lease shall be void and provided that they do not make any under-tenants and to this purpose he vouched the case of the Earl of Pembrook cited in the Lord Cromwels case Cook lib. 2. where the words amounted to a covenant and a coudition and if this word paying should not be construed to be a condition then it were altogether void and idle and such a construction ought not to be made in a will and he conceived that this rent ought to be paid by the wife without any demand upon the pain of the condition and therefore he vouched 22. H. 6. fo 57.14 E. 4 21. E. 4. by Hussey and 18. Eliz. Dyer 348. vouched before and so it was resolved as he said in the Court of Wards in Somings case where a man made a devise paying a rent to a stranger this ought to be paid without demand and he said that the Common case is proved when a feofment is made upon condition that the feoffee shall do an act to a stranger this ought to be done in convenient time without request by the stranger and so here it seemeth although a demand ought to be made by the sister yet the wife ought to give notice to the sister of the Legacy so that she may make a demand and therefore he vouched Warder and Downings case where a man devised that his eldest son upon entry should pay to the younger son such a summe of money here the eldes brother ought to give notice at what time he will enter to the intent that the younger brother may be provided to make a demand Edwards of the Inner Temple contrary First it seemeth that by this limitation the wife ought to retain the land until the issue of the devisor should have come to the age of 18. years for this a time certain and as it is construed upon such words in Borastons case Cook lib. 3. that the Executors there have an interest certain so it should be construed here to refer to a certainty which is until the time by computation that the issue should have attained to 18. years and the rather in this case in respect the devisor had otherwise disposed of the land until the son should have accomplished the said age Secondly it seemeth that the wife hath an estate for life not conditional in so much as the words are not joyned in the case the 18. Eliz. Dyer hath been vouched but that was upon an express condition but here it is by implication and then the clause of distress taketh away the force of the implication which otherwise might be thereupon inferred and therefore in 5. Eliz. Dyer it appeareth that the word Proviso annexed to other words makes it no condition in judgement of Law and so in 14. Eliz. Dyer 311. and he vouched also 18. Eliz. Dyer Greens case that if a man deviseth lands to his friends paying to his wife with a clause of distress this is no condition as it is adjudged Thirdly it seemeth that this summe to be paid to the sister is a rent and therefore ought to be demanded or otherwise in judgement of Law the condition shall not be broken and the 21. E. 4. the case of an obligation to perform covenants c. and a case between Wentworth and Wentworth 37. Eliz. that a demand ought to be made for a rent which is granted in liew of Dower for the wife brought a writ of Dower for the land of her husband the Tenant pleaded that she accepted a rent out of the land in liew of her Dower and the wife replied that the said rent was granted upon condition that if it were not paid at certain dayes that it should be void and that she should have Dower of the land and she said that the rent was not paid at the dayes c. but shewed not in her pleading any demand to be made and therefore it was holden evil pleading for such a rent ought to be demanded or otherwise the condition is not broken and so here Nota that this case was appointed to be argued again but after as I heard the Barons amongst themselves resolved to give judgement for the Defendant upon one point only which was that the estate

this be confessed that the King there should take nothing without inrolment yet this is not like to our case for here this is but to merge a particular estate which differs much from the case of conveying of an inheritance also this is confessed if there had been a Memorandum made in the Margent then the surrender had been good and the want thereof is the laches of the Clark and then if it should not be a surrender before the Memorandum made the Clark should make the surrender and not the partie and as to the Book of 37. H. 6. it is not answered for to say that the King hath no right to the thing granted before inrolment but that he hath the propertie that cannot be and to that which hath been objected that there doth not appear any intention of the surrender because that although the Patents are surrendred the estate remained the Book of 32. E. 3. Monstrance of faith 178. proveth nothing for there it is said that a man may plead that a Dean and Chapter did not lease modo et forma without shewing any Deed for there this pleading is not to devest any thing out of c. and also it appears in the principal case that his intent was to surrender for the Iury do finde that the Letters Patents were restored by the command of the Lord Seymor to be cancelled and to that which hath been objected if the second Patent should be good that the Queen might lose her Rent or condition because the first lease hath his continuance to that I give answer that the first lease hath not his continuance and therefore no loss can grow to the Queen and to that which hath been objected that the Queen is deceived it appears by these words modo habens c. restituit c. that the intention of the Queen was that the Lord Seymor had surrendred his estate before and that he now had nothing because that the word modo being joyned with the word reddidit signifieth the time past but as to that it seems to me that although modo poetica licentia in the strict construction of Grammer may signifie the time past yet the signification thereof shall not be so taken in the letters Patents for there it shall be taken in common construction and not to the deceipt of the King and therefore in the Dean and Chapter of Bristols case 7. E. 6. Dyer the words are nuper in Tenura I. S. et modo in Tenura A. B. there nuper is taken for the time past but modo for the present time and in 11. H. 7. Rogerum Townesend modo militem is to be intended that he is now Knight and not that he was a Knight in time past and not now also it is so to be observed here that these words habens et gaudens are annexed to this word modo both which are in the present time and restituit comes afterwards and so modo is not annexed to restituit but unto habens et gaudens also although the word shall be referred unto restituit yet all may well stand together for restituit may be referred unto the time present as siquae fuerint in 35. H. 6.11 and to that which hath been objected that until the Queen agrees unto the surrender the estate is not in the Queen he thought that where Tenant for life surrenders before agreement he in the reversion is Tenant to the Praecipe although he shall not maintain a Trespass before entrie for by 21. H. 7.12 it appeareth that an estate for life may be determined aswel by word as by surrender so in 9. H. 7. where the Tenant dies without heir the freehold is immediately in the Lord but yet he shall not have an action of Trespas before entrie now as to the first point he conceived it to be an actual surrender although there be no Vacat made nor any Memorandum and to examine it he did relate what Acts might make a surrender and to that purpose he said that words being used which do prove an assent of the Tenant that he in reversion shall have an estate that shall be a surrender without express words of a surrender for a man may surrender by these words Remisit or resignavit for the words are not material if so there be substance as in 40. E. 3. placito 14. and 40. Assises pl. 16. if a lessee for life saith to his lessor that you shall enter and I will that you shall have this land this is a good surrender So in 28. H. 8. Dyer 33. if a Termor agree that he in the reversion shall make a feofment that is a surrender so in 8. Eliz. Dyer 251 252. lessee for life is content that he in the reversion shall have the land and his interest that is a surrender but in that case it appeared that a rent was reserved and an agreement that the lessee should have it againe if he survived the lessor and therefore appearing plainly that it was not intended to pass by way of surrender it was at the last adjudged no surrender so in 14. H. 8. the Grantee of a Rent did surrender the Deed and that held to be a good surrender of the Rent it is daubted in 2. Eliz. Dyer in Sir Maurice Barkleys case 156. if the surrender of the Patent of an Office unto a master of the Chancerie out of the Court be good without beliverie of the Patent to be cancelled but that Book proveth nothing but that a delivery of a Patent to be cancelled shall be a good surrender though the Patent be not cancelled in facto it hath been objected that it matters not what commandment the Lord Seymor did give nor in what Court the Patents were given up nor before whom but to that he said in asmuch as it is found that the Patents were given up by the commandment of the Lo●d Seymor to be cancelled that being it was by his command it was his own surrender also it appears that the letters Patents were under the great Seal of England which alwayes issueth out of the Chancery and therefore it cannot be cancelled in any other Court and it shall be intended that they were given up to be cancelled there also this word restituit signifieth to restore and a man cannot restore any thing but where he had it and he had it out of the Chancery and therefore it shall not be otherwise intended but to be there restored so in Baggots Assise 9. E. 4.7 it is pleaded Quod restituit litteras Patentes Cancellandas and sheweth not to whom nor where and it was held to be very good but it is there pleaded Quod sursum reddidit Patentes Domini Regis and shewed in special to whom they were surrendred because it may be to any that hath power at the time of the surrender but a man cannot restore unto any but such a one who granted unto him and therefore needs not shew unto whom he did restore

Recusant may be seised after his death Thirdly if they shall be charged by the Statute of 1. Iac. as to the first it seems they are not wherein I shall endeavour to prove three things First that such land was not liable to debt by the Common Law Secondly that they are not liable to debts by the general words of the Statute Law Thirdly that they are not liable to debt by any word within the Statute of primo Iac. as to the first he observed that here is no fraud put in the case but that these lands and leases were never in the Recusant so that before that they were conveyed to the Defendants they were not liable to this debt and I alwayes observed that which the common law calleth fraud ought to be of such nature as shall be tortious and prejudicial to a third person and put him in a worse estate and condition then he was before and then he who is so prejudiced in some cases should avoid such conveyances by the common Law 22. Assises 72.43 Ed. 3.2 and 32. the Defendant in debt after judgement aliens his goods and he himself takes the profits yet the Plantiffe shall have them in execution so that if a man binde himself and his heirs in an Obligation and dies and assets descend to his heir who by Covin aliens those assets yet he shall be charged in debt for in these cases the Plantiffe had a lawful debt and such lands and goods before the alienation were liable and that former interest was intended to be defeated by those alienations and therefore they are void but of the other side where no former interest of the partie is wronged there no fraudulent conveyance was void at the Common Law and therefore if Tenant in Knights service had made a fraudulent Feofment to defraud the Lord of his wardship this was not aided by the Common Law until the Statute of Marlebridge for the title of the Lord was not prejudiced or wronged by this Feofment because it was subsequent to the Feofment also after the said Statute the Lord was without remedy for his release for it is agreed in 17. Ed. 3. fo 54. and 31. Ed. 3. Collation 29. and therefore at the Common Law if cestuy que use had bound himself and his heirs in an Obligation and died if the use descended to his heir none will say this use was assets to the heir and so was Rigler and Hunters case 25. Eliz. as to the second point it seems that the general words of a Statute shall be expounded according to the rule and reason of the Common Law and by the Common Law such confidence is not extendible therefore c. Westmin 2. cap. 18. which gives the elegit hath these words medietatem terrae and within those words an use was never extendible by that Statute 30. Ed. 3. because it was not an estate in him and so if a man be indebted for Merchandise or money borrowed and makes a gift of his lands and Chattels to defraud Creditors and takes the profits himself and flieth to the Sanctuary at Westminster or Saint Martins and there abideth by conclusion to avoid the payment of his debts it is thereby enacted that Proclamation shall be made at the Gate of the Sanctuary where such person resideth by the Sheriffe and if such person doth not thereupon appear in person or by Atturney judgement shall be given against him 2 Rich. 2. Stat. 2. cap. 3. 1. Rich. 3. cap. 1. and execution awarded aswel of those lands and goods given by fraud as of any other out of the same Franchise these words are more particular then the Statute of Westminster the second and yet it was doubted if it did extend to executions for debt as it appears by 7. H. 7. and 11. H. 7.27 and therefore in 19. H. 7. cap. 15. an Act of Parliament was made that execution for debts Recognizances and Statutes should be sued of lands in use As to the third it seems that that Statute doth not make lands in use liable to debts the words of the Statute are that the King shall seise two parts of the lands Tenements and Hereditaments leases of Farms of such offendors so that they are as general as the words of the Statute of Westminster 2. cap. 18. and here those lands and leases were not the Recusants for he had but a confidence in them the first clause of the Statute doth not extend thereunto for two causes First in regard that it never was in the Recusant and this clause extends only to such conveyances which are made by any man which hath not repaired or shall not repair to some Church for the disjunctive words do not extend throughout that branch but to the last part thereof viz. that which cometh after the word and for otherwise this would extend to conveyances made at any time without limitation which should be against the meaning of the Act. Secondly this Branch provides what shall be done concerning the King touching the levying and paying of such summes of money as any person by the Lawes of the Realm ought to pay of else to forfeit c. and by the Statutes before made nothing was forfeited but for such time as is mentioned in the Indictment which in our case is but 6. moneths but out of this branch a strong argument may be made in respect that the Statute avoids all conveyances made by Recusants in trust by express words but saith nothing to conveyances made by others to the use of Recusants and therefore this Statute doth not extend unto it if Tenant by Knights service infeoffs his heir within age and dies the Lord may enter upon the heir without suing an action but if a Feofmenche made to a stranger there he cannot enter but ought to bring his Action according to the provision of that Statute because it may be to the use of the Feoffee but no such provision is made for the heir the Statute of 3. Jac. cap. 4. provides by express words that the King shall seise two parts of all the lands Tenements and Hereditaments Leases and Faims that at the time of such seisure shall be or afterwards shall come to any of the hands of the said offendors or any other to their use or in trust for him or her or at his or her dispose or disposition or whereby wherewith or in consideration whereof such offendors or their families or any of them shall or may be relieved maintained or kept c. the different penning of these Statutes proves the diversitie of the meaning thereof this Statute is a new Law which gives to the King this penalty which he had not before and in new manner for it appoints that the partie shall be convicted by Proclamation and that being so convicted he shall alwayes pay the said penaltie until his submission without any other conviction 3. Jac. cap. 4. and also limits a manner how this new penaltie shall be levied viz.
