In Detinue, where the Jury found
that sheep had been detained and
stated the value, and where some
of the sheep died, pending the
action, judgment was given for the
plaintiff to recover the whole num-
ber of sheep of the value stated,
and damages as taxed by the Jury,
34.

Upon writ of Right, where vouchee
warranted, and joined the mise, and
afterwards made default, judgment
was given for the demandant to
recover to him and his heirs for
ever against the tenant, quit of the
tenant and of the vouchee and of
their heirs for ever, and for the
tenant to recover over to the value
against the vouchee, 104.

In action of Mesne, where the ver-
dict was that the defendant had

JUDGMENT-cont.

acquitted the ter-tenants, except
only the father and grandfather of
the plaintiff, each of whom had
brought an action of Mesne and
died, pending the plea, judgment
was given, inasmuch as no laches
was shown in the tenants, for the
plaintiff to recover his acquittal of
services with damages. The judg-
ment was affirmed upon writ of
Error in the King's Bench, 124-
126.

When the record of a judgment is

pleaded, it is held in law that the
judgment has been executed, 212,

MESNE :

A writ of Mesne was brought by two
husbands and their wives as in
right of the wives. It was alleged
on the other side that, while the
tenancy was supposed by the writ
to be in common, the two moieties
were in fact held respectively in
severalty. It was replied that it had
not been shown that the seignory of
the lord paramount was not entire.
But it was held that, as the tenants
might have become entitled by
several purchases, in which case the
tenancy and the seignory would be
severed, it was necessary to show
parcenary specially in order to main-
tain the writ, 112-114.

NOVEL DISSEISIN, ASSISE OF:
Trial of bastardy in, 54.
Pleadings as to title in, 54.
Defendant pleaded that a lease had been
made to the plaintiff for life, so that
there might be re-entry whenever
the rent should be in arrear, and
that he had, as heir of the lessor,
entered for rent in arrear. The plain-
tiff alleged that the defendant had
already distrained for the rent.
Issue was joined on this, and, as it
was found that the defendant had
distrained, the ouster by him was
held a disseisin, and, without
enquiry over except as to the dama-
ges, it was adjudged that the plain-
tiff should recover seisin, 84.
The question of the sufficiency of the
disseisors to pay damages ought to

NOVEL DISSEISIN, ASSISE OF-cont.
be put to the assise, if the plaintiff
so prays, and, if it has not been put
before verdict, the assise should be
brought back by writ to certify on
the point. Per Willoughby, Ch.
J., 152.

There may be a Scire facias for exe-

cution of judgment, though only
forty days may have elapsed, if the
record have been removed from the
country into the King's Bench,

152.

The plaintiff in assise had gone out of
the kingdom and was reputed dead.
Her nephew entered and enfeoffed
one H. (with the advice and consent
of H.) who was made defendant in
the assise, the nephew not being
named in the writ, and not having
taken any profits. Upon her return
to the country she was prevented
by H. from entering upon part of
the tenements, and when she en-
tered upon another part she was
ousted by H. Judgment was given
for the plaintiff with damages, and
it was held that the disseisin might
be adjudged to be the act of H.,
164-168.

Recovery in assise is according to the
view of the jurors, and may, accor-
ding to the view, be either of a
greater or of a less quantity than
the demand, 166.

No damages are awarded if the tenant
improve the place by building dur-
ing the disseisin, 168-170.
For rent, 182-196.

Forms of plaint for rent charge, rent
service, and rent seck, 182.

Plea of hors de son fee in assise for
rent, 182, 192.

A recovery in assise will give a title

as between grantor and grantee,
where the grantor has made a grant
of rent which is void in law, and
has not attempted to defeat the

PARTITION. See DEBT.
PER QUE SERVITIA :

Question (waived) as to reservation of
seignory by terms of a deed, and
question (undecided) as to whether
the tenant was bound to attorn to
one who was insufficient to warrant
and acquit him of services, when
the cognisor was previously bound
to warrant and acquit him, 72-74.
The Justices are directed to search for
evidence in the King's favour when
the tenants plead attornment to
his son, to whom, as they alleged,
the tenements which were held in
capite had been granted, 80-82.

PLAINT:

Where, in assise of Novel Disseisin,
the plaint was for land and rent
against several defendants, and the
tenant of the land pleaded that he

PLAINT cont.

was in by virtue of a recovery, and
another as tenant of parcel of the land
out of which the rent was supposed
to issue pleaded in bar of assise, the
plaintiff abridged his plaint for the
rent, and the assise was awarded in
respect of the land alone, 24-26.
See ABATEMENT OF WRITS.
PLEADING:

When a defendant stands at the bar
in respect of one action, the plaintiff
may count against him in respect
of another action, and have judg-
ment against him when he does not
answer, but not unless he has
answered as to the former action,
and not unless there be no variance
in the description of him between
the two writs, 62-64.
(Account.)

If the defendant ac-
knowledge a receipt to the common
profit of himself and the plaintiff,
he must plead it with an absque hoc
that he received to the plaintiff's
particular profit, and this shall be
entered on the roll, 6-8.
(Aiel.) If recovery in assise of Novel
Disseisin or other possessory action
had against the grandfather be
pleaded in bar of the action of
Aiel, it is not sufficient for the
demandant to reply that the grand-
father died seised, but he must
show by what title. If, however,
he show title, he is not compelled to
show how the recoveror in the pre-
vious possessory action was divested
of his possession, 210-222.
A deed of demandant's father was
pleaded which recited lease for
years by his grandfather to tenant,
and confirmed to tenant in fee.
Issue joined on replication of non
est factum, 330-332.
(Cessavit.) If a tenant plead as sole
tenant in abatement of the writ,
and his exception be disallowed, he

A A

PLEADING cont.

cannot afterwards allege joint-
tenancy. Sed quære, 234–236.

It was pleaded that the demandant had
disseised the tenant, and issue was
joined on that question of fact, 334.
(Entry sur disseisin.) Where the
disseisin is supposed to have been
effected on the ancestor of the
demandant, and the tenant pleads
in bar a feoffment made to him by
the same ancestor with warranty,
this is regarded as only a traverse
of the writ, and issue is joined as
to the disseisin supposed by the
writ, 94.

The disseisin was alleged to have

been effected on the demandant's
cousin, and in the count the resort
was made from the cousin to the
cousin's uncle, and the descent
from the latter to the demandant.
It was pleaded that the cousin's
father had other issue two daughters,
of whom one was living and the
other had living issue, and there-
fore that the action did not lie for
the demandant. It was replied
that the cousin's father had no
other issue by the same venter,
whereupon issue was joined, 114-

120.

(Formedon in the Reverter.) The
tenant pleaded a deed by which the
supposed donor aliened to the
demandant in fee simple, and the
demandant was not allowed to aver
the gift in tail, but was compelled
to answer as to the deed, though it
was pleaded by a stranger, 282.
(Quare impedit.) The King's title to
present being founded upon seizure
following an alleged alienation, with-
out license, of an advowson held in
capite, the alienation was denied.
A fine was produced to show the
alienation, and, although the defen-
dant was a stranger, he was not

PLEADING-Cont.

admitted to an averment traversing
the alienation, because (per Wil-
loughby, Ch. J.) the words passing
an incorporeal hereditament by fine
bind both privies and strangers,
and because he did not show the
seisin of another by a presentation
or that any one had since become
the King's tenant with license, 14,

24.

If A. brings Quare impedit against
B., when B. has Quare impedit
pending against A. in respect of the
same church, A. can require B. to
count against him, and this is so
equally whether the church be or
be not described by the same name
in both writs. Per Sharshulle, J.,

142-144.
