The writ for the King claiming to
present in right of one whose land
is seized into his hand is in general
form, 12-14, 144-146.

Where a Priory was of the foundation

of the ancestor of a subject who
and whose ancestors had always
had the presentations appendant to
the Priory when it was vacant, and
the subject had conveyed all his
lands, advowsons, &c. to the King
in fee, it was not denied that the
King had the right to present when
a church became vacant during the
vacancy of the Priory, 70.

The statute 14 Ed. III., stat. 4, c. 2,

was not retrospective, and did not
apply to presentations made or writs
of Quare impedit brought previously
thereto, 122, 138-142.
Defendant compelled to answer, not-
withstanding a writ from the King
to the Justices, and although the
King was plaintiff, 140.

Quare impedit in respect of an arch-
deaconry, 174.

Scire facias upon judgment in Quare
impedit, 174-176.

Claim of advowson for the King, on

the ground that it had been aliened
in mortmain without license, 334-

RATIONABILIBUS DIVISIS, 232.
RECEIPT:

If in a Præcipe quod reddat the tenant
traverse the ground of action, and
one claiming to have the reversion
expectant on the determination of
the tenant's term for life pray to be
admitted to defend his right, he
cannot be so admitted (even though
there be reason to suspect collusion
between demandant and tenant)
because his case is not within 13
Edw. I. (Westm. 2), c. 3, 106-110.
Upon a writ of Entry sur disseisin, in
which it was alleged that the tenant
disseised the demandant's ancestor,
a man and his wife were admitted,
after the tenant's default, to defend
their right, though their allegation
was (contrary to the form of the
writ) that the tenant held for term
of life by lease from the wife, 158.
If A. bring an action of Waste against
B., who makes default, and C.
prays to be admitted to defend his
right on the ground that the estate
is to B. and C. and the heirs of C.,
he cannot be admitted, because a
recovery in the action of Waste
would be a disseisin to him, and he
would have his remedy in another

way, 178, 180.

Tenant by the curtesy of England

having departed in contempt of
Court, the wife's heir was admitted
to defend his right, 230.

In a Præcipe quod reddat against two
persons, when one made default, an
alleged reversioner prayed to be
admitted, and subsequently another
alleged reversioner, and it was held
that both must be answered, and
that however many might pray to

[blocks in formation]

be admitted, each for a separate
cause, they must all be answered,
and that it was not necessary to
give a decision with regard to one
prayer for admission before hearing
another, 242-254.

Demandant counterpleaded a rever-
sioner's prayer to be admitted, on
the ground that the reversioner had
purchased the tenements, pending
the writ, and issue was joined as to
the fact, 274.

Upon supposed reversioner's prayer

to be admitted, as son and heir of
one entitled to the reversion, it was
alleged that he had an elder brother
living. Issue was joined as to
whether he had an elder brother
living who was the son of his
father, 332-334,

Entry upon, 78, 164.

Feoffment of, 110-112, 164.

In assise of Novel Disseisin, the plaint
must contain the words "with the
appurtenances" where rent service
is in question, but it is immaterial
whether the plaint do or do not
contain those words where rent
charge is in question, 182.

If tenant for life, or tenant by the
curtesy charge, and the reversioner
afterwards confirm the rent, the
confirmation is good, 188.

If a grant of rent be made which
is void in law, and rent be paid
to the grantee, and if the grantee
bring assise and the grantor do not
counterplead it so as to defeat the
grantee's estate, and the grantee
recover, the title is good as between
the grantor and grantee.
Sharshulle, J., 188, 194.

Per

RENT-Cont.

Title to rent charge is not good without
deed, 214.

If one become tenant of land by
Elegit, after execution sued upon
a recognisance, and the original
freeholder has granted a rent charge
on the same land on a day subse-
quent to the making of the recog-
nisance, the tenant by Elegit holds
discharged, and may plead in dis-
charge in a Replevin, 254-260.

REPLEVIN:

The defendant avowed for homage
and rent in arrear in respect of 29
acres of land. The plaintiff alleged
that he held by services other than
those stated in the avowry 84 acres
of the defendant, and that of these
84 acres 16 were held in service
and 68 in demesne, and that the
place of taking was parcel of the
84 as one entire tenancy (or, as
appears in the record, as parcel of
the 68 acres). Issue was joined on
the replication that the plaintiff
held of the avowant the 29 acres
of land, of which the place of
taking was parcel, severally and
by the services stated in the avowry,

66-70.

Avowry for rent because tenant for
life of the rent aliened it in fee,
whereupon the avowant who was
reversioner entered upon the rent,
and he avowed for arrears. The
plaintiff pleaded that the alienor
had the rent in fee. Issue was
joined thereon. It was found that
the alienor had the rent for life
only, whereupon the avowant had
the Return adjudged irreplevisable,

76-78.

If the action be brought against
bailiffs, who took only on behalf
of their principal, they are never
theless liable for damages, 254-
260.

In the King's Bench there may be a
Scire facias for execution upon
judgment in assise of Novel Dis-
seisin, after removal into that Court
from the country, though only forty
days have elapsed since the assise
passed, 152.

Sci. fa. upon judgment for the King
in Quare impedit. The King's
charter revoking his presentation
was produced on behalf of the de-
fendant, but, as there was no writ
to stay proceedings, the Court did
not notice the charter, and adjudged
execution for the King, 174-176.
Sci. fa. upon a fine. It was pleaded

that the plaintiff in the Scire facias

SCIRE FACIAS-cont.

had been named as defendant in a
writ of assise of Novel Disseisin by
which the tenements had been
recovered, and, though acquitted of
the disseisin, was heir of the dis-
seisors, and that the fine was mesne
between the disseisin and the reco-
very. Against this was tendered
the averment that the supposed
disseisee never had anything in the
tenements. Notwithstanding the
record of the assise, issue was in
the end joined as to whether the
recoveror in assise was seised before
the fine was levied, 42-48.
Sci. fa. in the Exchequer, for the
farm of a fair assigned in dower by
the King, with judgment thereupon
for recovery of the amount with
damages, 124-132.

Aid is allowed in Sci. fa., but neither
voucher nor other delays, 76.

Aid in Sci. fa., 100–102.

Sci. fa. against executors of testator
upon recognisance in which he was
obligor, 318-320.

aggrieved must seek his remedy be-
fore Justices of Assise, 82.
Duties of Sheriff, in relation to exe-

cution for damages in assise of
Novel Disseisin, under Stat. Glouc.
(6 Ed. 1), c. 1, 154.

A Sheriff may be amerced if to a writ

and gardens, when waste was
assigned also in lands and woods,

176-182.

If, in execution upon Statute Merchant,
the Sheriff do not make livery of
the lands which have been extended,
he is amerced and commanded to

dare to send it for fear of robbery,
he shall be amerced for not having

issues to the Coroner to cause him
to come and answer thereto, 238.

to mainprise and to warn the obligee
to show cause, and the obligor does
not pursue his writ, the obligor and
his mainpernors shall be taken, but

release by the obligee. At the
hearing he produced two acquit-
tances, one special, the other general.
He was compelled to hold to one

respect of his temporalities in the
vill in which the taking was. Re-
plication of Prior that the defendant

was assessed at any sum, and issue
thereon, 86-88.

Justification on the ground of dis-
tress for services due for land held
as of an honour which extended
into several counties, the beasts
having been driven to the "capitale
manerium" of the honour, and there
impounded. It was not disputed
that this might be legally done for
the cause thus stated, and issue was
joined as to whether the taking was
against the peace and not for the
cause supposed, 88-92.
