Trin. 7 Jac. Regis. In the Court of Wards;
John Bayley's Case.
It was found by Writ of Dien clausit extremum, that the said John Bayley was seized of a Messuage, and of and in the 4th part of one Acre of Land, late parcel of the Demesne Lands of the M••nnor of Newton in the County of Hereford, in his Den••esne as of Free, and found the other Points of the Writ; and it was holden by the two Chief Justices, and the Chief Baron.
1. That M••ss••agium vel Tenementum is uncertain; for Tenementum is nomen collectivum, and may contain Land, or any thing that is holden.
2. It was holden, That it was void for the whole, be∣cause no Town is mentioned in the Office, where the M••ssuage or Tenement, &c. lyeth: and it was holden, that no melius inquirendum shall issue forth, because the whole Office is incertain and void.
