An. 9 Eliz. in Banke le Roy, where one Robert Gerlin

3. Title Judgment. And one Bellingham, 2 Jac. in West∣minster-Hall,
Sedentibus Curiis, with his Elbow and Shoul∣der,
out of malice justled Anthony Dyer of the Temple, that
he overthrew him, and spurned him with his Feet upon
the Legs; but smote him not in any other manner:
And yet it was held, That his right hand should be cut

A Case was put to all the Justices of England, viz.
The Bishopricks of Waterford and Lismore, originally two
Bishopricks by lawful Authority, in the time of H. 3.
were united, but the Chapters yet remain several. After
which Union, the Bishop aliened Lands of the Sea of
Waterford, and also of the Sea of Lismore, with confirma∣tion
of the Chapter of Lismore.
1. The Question was, Whether such Alienations are
not voydable by the Successor, being with the Confirma∣tions
of both the Deans and Chapters.
2. The second Question was, Whether the Queen
might avoid such alienations by seizure, or otherwise.
The Justices demanded a View of the Union, to which
it was answered, That it was not extant; then was it
Resolved by the Justices, That inasmuch as the Usage
hath been after the Union, that the several Deans and
Chapters have severally made Confirmations ut supra;
it shall be intended, that the Union notwithstanding,
yet for avoiding Confusion, and in respect of the remote∣ness
of the Deans and Chapters, that Estates made shall
be severally confirmed as before the Union, and then such
Confirmations shall be good, for in such Case, Modus &
