Nevertheless, quære as to this, &c. Præcipe quod reddat. Debt. SA Præcipe quod reddat was brought against a tenant, who pleaded to the Inquest at the first day, and at the Venire facias the Inquest came.-Pole. Sir, you see clearly that there is an agreement between the tenant and the demandant; and this appears plainly, for the tenant pleaded without taking any delay, and the Inquest came at the first day; and we tell you that the tenant has only for term of life, and the remainder is to one A. and his heirs by a fine,-and he showed a part of it,-by which the tenant acknowledged, and took an estate &c., so the tenant might have had aid or have barred the demandant; wherefore we pray to be admitted. - STONORE. We will consider before the Inquest be taken, for the matter is suspicious; and yet you are not within the case of the Statute for being admitted.-And note that some said that A. could enter in this case. Quære. -And afterwards the Inquest was taken, and passed for the demandant. -SCHARDELOWE and Pole said that the entry would be good. (47.) Sir Simon de Drayton brought his writ of Debt against William de Holewell, and produced an obligation. in proof of the debt.-Blaik. You cannot demand anything, for you yourself agreed with us by this deed which is here that if we enfeoffed you of 128. of rent in R. the deed of obligation should be held null, so that in respect of your deed, which is in general terms without mention of any particular day upon which we were to enfeoff you, as we may still do that which is expressed in your deed, we do not understand that we have any need to answer to this writ. -Pole.

We say that Simon by this deed indented agreed that if we should enfeoff him of twelve marks of rent &c. the obligation should be held as null, and we demand judgment—since there is no certain time limited for the feoffment, so that the time at which we may enfeoff him remains at our pleasure-whether on that obligation he shall be answered as to this writ.-And because he did not dare to abide judgment on this, he said over that he always had been and still was ready to enfeoff the plaintiff.— Thorpe. Ready &c. that he has not been ready to enfeoff the plaintiff. And the other side said the contrary. (48.) A writ of Mesne was brought by two men and Mesne was their wives, &c.-Gayneford. The writ supposes that two men they hold the tenancy in common as of the right of the wives; to that we say that they hold in severalty, one by parce- couple one moiety, and the other the other moiety; judgment of the writ.-Derworthy. The writ is not and their wives as ners in common, whereupon 1 According to the record, after the award of the Venire, and continuation of process, the defendant said that " non potest dedicere quin "ipse tenetur prædicto Simoni in "prædicto debito." Judgment was then given for the plaintiff to re cover the debt and 40s. damages. The entry concludes with the following passage :- "Et sciendum "quod idem Willelmus alias, quando "placitavit cum prædicto Simone, "venit per coercionem Episcopi "Lincolniensis, &c." 2 1 avez A.D. 1340. fait, et Vous ne ditez mye qe vous nous contra. 5 § Simond" de Drayton porta bref de dette de c. li vers B.
