and one of these is necessary to prevent a Survivorship Wherefore upon the whole it was prayed That the Judgment should be Reversed On the other side it was argued with the Judgment That the same was Legal and ought not to be Reversed for that as to the last thing stirred it must be a Tenancy in Common the words Share and Share alike imply a Division or Partition in esse or in future and it hath always been so construed The distinction between divided and to be divided hath been long since Exploded as importing no difference Then it was argued That here was only an Estate for Life given by this Clause to the Survivors that a Devise of the Share is the same with the Devise of the Land that the Share doth not signifie the Estate or Interest but the Quantity or Proportion of the Thing here are no words to vest the Inheritance in the Survivors there are proper words to give an Inheritance to the Children and there are no such proper words used to divest it out of them and to give it to the Survivors upon the decease of any one of them under Age and Unmarried The Share or Part can only be the Thing it self not the Estate in the Thing and 't is all consistent if it be adjudged an Estate for Life Besides In the last Clause when he enjoyns the Heir to permit the Devisees to enjoy their Interests and in case he do not discharge the Fee-farm Rent he gives the rest of his Shares to and amongst all other of his Children and their Heirs equally to be divided among them The adding of the word Heirs in this Clause and omitting it in the former shews the Testator to have a different meaning in the first from what he had in the last Then were cited several Cases to prove that totam illam partem carried only the Thing devised not the Interest which the Devisor had therein 3 Leon. 180 181. 3 Cro. 52. 2 Leon. 156 56. and 1 Rolls Abridg. tit Estate 835 836. 1 Cro. 356. Latch 40. and as to the 150 l. appointed to be paid for to bind Benjamin Apprentice 't was said That the same was to Issue out of the Rents and Profits And therefore upon the whole it was prayed That the Judgment might be affirmed and it was affirmed accordingly Dominus Rex Versus Episcop ' Cestr ' and Richard Pierse Esq WRit of Error upon a Judgment in a Quare Impedit in C. B. given for the King and affirmed in B. R. The Case upon the Record was to this effect Mr. Attorney General declares That Queen Elizabeth was seized of the Advowson of the Church of Bedall ut de uno grosso per se ut de feodo jure in jure corone sue Anglie and being so seized did such a Day in the Twelfth Year of her Reign present to the said Church then vacant John Tymms as by the Inrollment of c. appears that he was instituted and inducted that Queen Elizabeth died seized of such her Estate of and in the Advowson aforesaid that the same descended to Jac. 1. per quod he was seized of the Advowson of the said Church ut de uno grosso c. That the Church became void by the death of Tymms and that King presented Dr. Wilson that he was admitted instituted and inducted that King Jac. 1. died seized of such his Estate in the said Advowson and the same descended to Car 1. and he became seized and the Church was again void by the death of the then Incumbent and Car. 1. presented Dr. Wickham that Dr. Wickham died that thereupon one John Pierse not having any Right to present to the said Church sed usurpando super dict' nuper Regem Car. 1. did present one Metcalfe who was inducted that Car. 1. died seized that the Advowson descended to Car. 2. that the Church became void by the death of Metcalfe that Car. 2. presented Samways who was inducted that Car. 2. died seized and the same descended to Jac. 2. who became seized ut de uno grosso c. who being so seized de regimine hujus regni Anglie se dimisit by which the said Advowson came to the present King and Queen and they were and are now seized of it ut de uno grosso c. That the Church became void by the death of Samways and it belongs to the King and Queen to present a fit Person but the Defendants hinder them ad dampnum c. The Bishop pleads that he claims nothing in the Advowson but as Ordinary c. The other Defendant Richard Pierse pleads That the King occasione premissor ' ipsum pred' Richardum impetere seu occasionare non debet quia dicit quod bene verum est quod Car. 1. devenit fuit seisitus of the Advowson aforesaid ut de uno grosso per se ut de feodo jure modo forma pred' in narr ' pred' specificat ' and did present Wickham his Clerk who was inducted But he says further That the Church being so full of the Incumbent and Car. 1. so seized as aforesaid the said Car. 1. by his Letters Patents c. bearing date at Canbury 19 Julij anno regni sui decimo quarto quas idem Richardus hic in curia profert ex speciali gratia certa scientia mero motu for himself his Heirs and Successors did give and grant cuidam Willielmo Theckston adtunc armig ' postea milit ' the Advowson aforesaid to hold to him and his Heirs to the use of him and his Heirs for ever prout per easdem Litteras Patentes plenius apparet by virtue of which said Grant the said Theckston was seized of the Advowson in question ut de uno grosso c. And he being so seized the Church became void by the death of Wickham posteaque ac eodem tempore quo superius in narr ' pred' supponitur pred' Johannem Pierse usurpasse super pred' nuper Regem Car. 1. He the said John Pierse usurping upon the said William Theckston to whom of right it then belonged did present the said Metcalfe who was accordingly instituted and inducted by which the said John Pierse was seised of the Advowson aforesaid and being so seized and the Church then full he the said Theckston did by Indenture 18 April 18 Car. 1. release to the said John Pierse and his Heirs all his Right Title Claim c. by which the said John Pierse became seized and he dying seized the same descended to the Defendant Richard as his Son and Heir by which he became seized and then the Church became void by the Death of Metcalf and continued so void for a Year and half and more and by that Reason Car. 2. to the Church so void per lapsum temporis in defectu Patroni Ordinarij et Metropolitani jure Prerogative sue Regie eidem Car. 2. devolut ' did present Samwayes his

not against him here 's no Fraud or ill Practise c. Then if the nature of the thing be considered the Demand is of a Right not arising by Agreement of Parties but by Operation of Law if the former Chancery might perhaps construe and enlarge it so as to fulfil the utmost Intention but here her title is the Marriage the Seisin and Death of the Husband And there never was a time when if her Lord had died she could have had immediate Dower for even the Term had been pleadable by an Heir of Law to a Writ of Dower Now what doth give her an Equity against the Respondent Her Claim is by from and under her Husband as having a Right to a Proportion of what he had that is a Right by the Law where is the Equity that should improve or mend this Right Perhaps it must be agreed That if the Husband had just before Marriage made a long Lease on purpose to prevent Dower and the Woman expecting the Priviledges which the Common Law gives to Women married had surviv'd him Equity might have interposed and yet even this was practised by a Reverend Judge of Equity Mr. Serjeant Maynard who made such Lease to his Man Bradford the day before his last Marriage but here is no such Action 't was an old Term created by the old Earl of Warwick As to the Case of the Mortgages The Feme intituled to Dower is let in because the Person who is the Mortgagee hath no Interest but to have his Money and Equity is to execute all these Agreements but never where there is a Purchaser or where the Interest of the Mortgage is assigned to the Heire Between her self and the Mortgagee she comes in place of her Husband and the Husband could redeem and so may the Wife but against a Purchaser she has no more Equity then her Husband had and that is none at all If she hath a Legal Title antecedent to the Purchasers as Marriage and Seisin where there 's no Term standing out that shall prevail and Equity shall not help the Purchaser against her so where the Purchaser hath a Legal Title as by a Term precedent Equity cannot relieve her And whereas it was objected That there was no Case adjudged in Chancery against the Appellants pretence the Answer is plain The Common Law is against it and if no Precedent in Equity the Common Law ought to stand 'T is nothing but Precedent that Consecrates half the Decrees in Equity And no Man will say that ever any Woman was endowed in Equity of a Trust Estate If a Man hath a Term for Ten thousand years and be entirely and properly owner of it tho' the same be equal in value to a Feesimple for the Reversion after it is worth little or nothing yet no Dower can be claimed in Equity nay If the Husband be seized together with another Person and not sole seized yet no Dower even in Chancery can be claimed against the Survivor So that Equity doth not exceed the Rules of Law in advancing the Right of Dower 'T is true unless Fraud be in the Case according to the Case of Nash and Preston in Cro. Car. 190 191. Relief in Equity shall not be given against a Legal Title to Dower yet 't is as true that where the Law doth not give Dower Equity will not unless there be Fraud and Covin used to prevent it and then common Reason enjoyns a Court of Conscience to Relieve If any Allowance had been in the Purchase upon Consideration of the Title to Dower the same would have been a very material Argument but in this Case there was none And therefore 't was prayed that the Dismission might be affirmed and it was so Dominus Rex versus Baden WRit of Error to Reverse a Judgment given in the Court of Exchequer and affirmed upon a Writ of Error in the Councel Chamber before the Chancellor with the Assistance of the two Chief Justices The Case upon the Record was only this One Allen outlaws one Clerk in Debt on a Bond in Mich. 1690. on the Seventh of Jan. 1690. by virtue of a Special Capias utlagatum and inquisition thereupon seizes Clerk's Lands into their Majesties hand In Hillary Term following the Outlawry and Inquisition are certified into the Exchequer and Allen obtains a Lease under a Rent In Mich. 1692. Baden comes and pleads that in Mich. 4 Jac. 2. he recovered a Judgment against Clerk for 1080 l. that in Trinity Term 1691. he took out an Elegit and had a Moiety of the Lands extended and therefore prays that an amoveas manus may be awarded Mr. Attorney replies That the Lands were seized by virtue of the Outlawry and Inquisition long before the Elegit was sued and therefore c. Baden demurs and Judgment for the King It was argued on behalf of the Plaintiff in the Writ of Error that this Judgment was Erroneous for that there 's a vast difference between an Outlawry in a Civil and one in a Criminal Process That in a Civil Action 't is only a Civil Process for the benefit of the Party and 5 Edw. 3. cap. 12. the King cannot pardon an Outlawry at the Suit of a private Person that 't is only to help one Subject to his Debt from another that the King hath no Advantage by it and so no need of a Preference by reason of the Prerogative that at Common Law no Man could be outlawed that now it is purely given for the sake of the Plaintiff that the common Practise is to make a Lease or grant a privy Seal to the Party That by this Outlawry the King hath no Interest in the Land he cannot cut down the Trees 9 H. 6.20 that he cannot Plow or Sow but only collect and receive the Profits which arise out of the Land Bro. tit Outlawry 36. tit Patents 3. that the King hath not the possession of the Land which shews it not to be a Forfeiture to the King but it remains the Parties still in respect of Ownership he may make a Feoffment 21 Hen. 7.7 2 Inst 675. Hob. 122. by the Judgment the Lands were bound tho' the Title was not compleat till the Elegit was sued out a monstrans de droit or Petition did lye and now the same Matter may be pleaded 'T was further argued That great Mischief must follow if an Outlawry upon Civil Process may defeat a Judgment that Judgments with release of Errors are taken and used as common Securities that this is most plainly a device to avoid them that this can be no Security if an Elegit may not be sued but prevented by the Party himself for here it is his own default not to avoid this Outlawry by Appearance that no act of the Debtor could alter the Security and there 's no reason why his neglect should that this Contest is between Baden and Allen and not between Baden and the King Allen's Suit was but just begun and this is
