of the said John's death; were holden of the Dean of
Pauls, as of his Mannor of Shadwel.
All the mean Rates incurred in John's life-time, are
paid to the King.
1. The Questions are: 1. Whether by John's death,
and finding of the mean Tenure in the Deveneront, the
fi••st Office granted to Points be determined.
2. Whether the Tenure found by the first Office may
be traversed.
And as to these Questions it was Resolved, by the two
Chief Justices, and chief Baron, That where the said John
dyed, the Office found by force of the Diem clausit extre∣mum,
after Humphries death, whereby the King was enti∣tuled
to the Guardianship of John, hath taken its effect,
and is executed, and does remain as Evidence for the
King after Johns death, but yet is not traversable; for it
is traversable during the time it remains in force onely,
and the Jurors upon the Deveneront, after the death of
the said John, are at liberty to find the certainty of the
Tenure, and they are not concluded by the first Inquisi∣tion:
and with this agrees, 1 H. 4. 68. And this appears
by the diversity between the Writ of Diem clausit extre∣mum,
and the Deveneront, which is but in one Point; to
wit, the Diem clausit extremum is general, And the Devene∣ront
is not general, but does restrain onely the Lands and
Tenements, quod deveneront, &c. And thus it was Resol∣ved
nono Jacobi, in the Court of Wards, in the Case of
Dune Lewis
