made of the contrary part are answered in Heydons Case, but he relyed upon that, that every reall Inheritance is within the Statute of Westminster 2. 4 Ed. 2. Formedon lyeth of Copy-hold Land, 25 Ed. 3. 46. Estate tayle is of a Corrody and office, which proves, that Copy-hold is a reall Inheritance, and for that shall be within the Statute, 46 Ed. 3. 21. Gavelkinde Land may be intailed, 6 Rich. 2. Avowry 2. 8. Rich. 2. 26. Copy-holder shall be charged with Fees of a Knight at Parliament, 22 and 23. Eliz. Dier 373. 13. Lands in ancient Demesne were intayled, and he said that the reason is, that for that it is Inheritance and time hath applyed them to an E∣state, and so concluded, and prayed Judgment for the Defen∣dant.
Hutton Serjeant argued for the Plaintiff, that Copy-hold Lands cannot be intailed, for that is but a customary Estate; and the Law doth not take any notice of it, but onely according to Custome, for there were no Estates tayle before the Statute, for then all were Fee simple absolute or conditionall; that is, either implyed, or by limi∣tation, which cannot be of an Estate tayle, which is not within the Statute of Westminster 2. for no Actions are maintainable by that, but those which are by the Custome, and a Writ of false Judgment: See Fitzherberts Natura brevium, 12. 13 Ed. 3. F. Prescription 29. that it hath no Incidents, which are incident to Estates at the Com∣mon Law without Custome, as Dower: See Revetts Case, and so is Tenancy by the Curtesie, and there shall be no discent of that to take away Entry, and so of other derivatives: And he seemed that it is not within the Statute for three reasons apparent within the Statute.
First, That it is hard that Givers shall be barred of their reversions; but in case of Copy-holds, the Giver hath no remedy to compell the Lord to admit him after the Estate tayle spent, but onely Subpena, and in this Case the Lord may releive himselfe for the losse of his services, for that the Statute provides no remedy for him.
Secondly, That the Statute doth not intend any Lands, but those of which there is actuall reversion or remainder, and those which passe by Deed; so that the will of the Giver expressed in the Char∣ter, may be observed, and of which there may be a subdivision, as Lord, Mesne, and Tenant, for there shall be alwayes a reversion of the Estate tayle, and the Donee shall hold of the Donor and not of the Lord.
Also it seems that the Statute doth not intend to provide for any, but those for whom the VVrit in the Formedon ordained by the Sta∣tute lyes, and agreed that for Offices and such like, Formedon lyeth, if the party will admit Estate tayle to be discontinued.
Also the Statute intends those things, of which a Fine may be levy∣ed, for the Statute provides, that (the Fine in his owne right should
