The plaintiff appeared by attorney, and the defendant proffered himself in his own person and prayed that the plaintiff might count against him. And the plaintiff said that the defendant did not come through the Sheriff; wherefore he prayed an Alias Capias. And because he did not count against the defendant he took nothing by his writ. It would have been otherwise if the defendant had appeared by attorney; and, if the plaintiff had been essoined, the defendant in such case would not have been mainprised. And I believe this.

And they said that the tenements were holden of the King in capite, who had granted them over to the Duke' his son, to whom they had attorned. And note that the plaintiff showed the quantity of the tenancy and the services in certain. - R. Thorpe. You shall not be admitted to say that you held of the King; for a fine was levied between our cognisor and one A., which A. granted the services of parcel of the tenancy which you hold to J. our cognisor, when you came upon a Per quæ servitia and claimed to hold of A. and attorned to our cognisor for your homage; judgment whether in opposition to your attornment, you ought to be admitted to the averment. As to the rest, you held of our cognisor; ready &c. - Parning. The King shall not be estranged from his tenant although the tenant have attorned to another. -Pole. As to parcel, their mouth is stopped, for he can not say that they were tenants of any other than of our cognisor; and as to the rest it is only a traverse &c. ; for if they can escape from attornment, so shall every one do in a Per quæ servitia by such an allegation, which can not 1 Edward, Duke of Cornwall. gressio.
