You say what is true; still he does not plead as appears to your writ, but he does to your action, and so he affirms your writ to be good; and if what he has said were found by verdict, though the detaining was at another place, if the driving was to a manor to which the suit was due, the finding would be sufficiently in his favour, for the detaining is nothing to the purpose. Wherefore, &c.--Pole. Beighton, where the taking was effected, is out of the fee of the manor of Tickhill; ready, &c.Blaik. Do you intend that for your answer?-Pole did not dare to depart from his writ for fear that it might have abated, and said:-You took the beasts with force, &c., and not for such cause as you have supposed; ready, &c.-Blaik. For such cause and not as the writ supposes; ready, &c. .

Trespass.

--

§ Trespass against the Prior of Blythe and several others in respect of beasts taken in G., and driven out of the county to W. against the peace.-Blaik. As to the Prior, Not Guilty. As to two others, Blaik acknowledged the taking by them as bailiffs of Philippa Queen of England, for the reason that the Prior of Blythe holds of the Queen a bovate of land (whereof the place where the taking was made, &c.) by homage, fealty, and escuage, to wit, &c., and by suit to her Court of Tickhill &c., as services regardant to the honour of Tickhill. And (said he) for the suit in arrear they acknowledge the taking; and they came and drove the beasts through B., which is on the road to Tickhill, to which manor the suit is regardant, without doing anything against the peace; and the others named came to aid them as their servants. And as to the detaining, the plaintiff came and made satisfaction for the suit, and had the beasts quit.-Pole. We do not admit what he has said; but he does not answer as to the detaining in B.— STONORE. Yes, he does; he says that B. is on the road between the place where the taking &c. and Tickhill; and the detaining is not the cause of your action.-Pole. We tell you that the place where the taking, &c. is not holden of the honour of Tickhill.-Blaik. Do you intend that for your answer ?-And because he did not dare to depart from his writ, Pole said that they came of their own wrong without this that they came for such a cause; ready &c.And the other side said the contrary.-So the cause will be tried. -Quære whether Pole could safely have abode judgment on the first plea.
