Directions for suing out Fines, and making the Concords thereof; with severall necessary Notes thereupon.

IT is called a Fine, Et Finalis concordia, quia imponit finem litibus.

Fines are Instruments of Record, of Agree∣ments concerning Lands or other Heredita∣ments made most usually upon Writs of Cove∣nant in the Court of Common-Pleas, and are of such force and efficacy in Law, that they are perpetual Barrs to all Parties to the same Fines and Estrangers, not prosecuting their Right in due time.

He who acknowledgeth the Fine, is called the Conusor; and he to whom the Fine is le∣vied, is called the Conusee.

If the use of a Fine be not declared before nor after the Fine levied, it shall be intended to the use of the Conusor, and his Heirs.

Infants (that is, all persons under the age of one and twenty years) ought to have special care how they levy Fines, for unless they be rever∣sed by the Infants themselves before they come of Age, they are good.

If a married Woman under Age levy a Fine

Page 146

of her own Lands, she may not reverse it, un∣less her Husband dye before she come to full age.

If a married woman levy a Fine of her Joyn∣ture, she will thereby lose both that and her Thirds, if the Joynture were well settled before marriage.

It is requisite, that either the Conusor, or the Conusee, be seized of the Lands in the Fine at the time of levying thereof, otherwise the Fine is void.

Persons Outlawed, or waved in personal Actions, may alien by Fine.

To sue out a Fine by Dedimus Potestat. to Commissioners in the Country, you are first to draw your Praecipe of the Writ of Covenant in Paper, and then write under, your Commis∣sioners Names, four, or more, whereof one is to be a Knight, thus,

De. po. F.D. Militi H. I. L.M. N.O. P.Q. generosis.

Carry this to the Cursitor of the same Coun∣ty, and he will make your Dedimus Potestatem take the Fine.

Page 147

When you have your Ded. pot. then make ready your Concord to be fairly ingrossed in Parchment; and see that the Land be exactly named, as in the Dedimus: The Forms of which Concords next follow.

Note, That where there be divers Co∣nusors, the Release and Warranty must be from the Heirs of one of the Conusors only, as in the last mentioned; and also when a Fine is levied to divers Conusees, the right shall be limited to one of them only, and the Remise and VVarranty to his heirs only, whose Right it is acknowledged to be.

Note, That although a married Woman cannot covenant by Deed, yet she may warrant by Fine.

Note, If a Mannor extend into divers Towns or Villages, you must express all the Towns whereinto it extends; or if you omit any of them, no part of the Mannor in such Town omit∣ted passeth; yet a Fine of a Mannor cum per∣tin. without naming any place where it lies, is good, and passeth the whole Mannor.

Here might be added many Examples of Fines, with Entails, Renders, Clauses of distress, &c. which being seldom used at this day, and more likely to confound than help those for whom I intend this Work, I purposely omit, adding onely one of them, which follows next.

When the Parties come to acknowledge the Fines, let all the Conusors set their Hands to it, and then let the Commissioners ask them if they be willing to pass the Fine, and read unto them the substance; and then the Parties ha∣ving made Recognizance accordingly, write un∣der the Record thus:

Capt. & cognit. apud Civitatem Cicestr. in C.S. die &c. Anno Regni Dom. Caroli secundi nunc Regis Angliae, &c. 16. coram.

And then let the Commissioners subscribe their Names, which must be two at least: Then write on the back of the Commission thus:

Executio istius brevis patet in quadam schedula eidem brevi annexa; And let the Com∣missioners subscribe their Names there.

According to the Tenor of the Writ, the Commissioners should set their Seals to the Concord, which seemeth the best way, although it be often omitted at this day.

If a married Woman be a Conusor, the Commissioners are to examine her privately, whether she be willing to pass the Fine, and do it without Threats or Fear of her Husbands

Page 166

displeasure; which if she confesseth, the Com∣missioners ought not to take her Cognizance.

If all the Conusors cannot conveniently come to acknowledg the Fine at the same time, the Commissioners may take the Cognisance of such as are present; and the same Commission∣ers, or others, may take the Cognisance of the rest at another time, and then write under the Concord thus;

Capt. & cognit. per supradictos A. & B. apud C. in Com. S. primo die Julii, Anno Regni Dom. Car. Secundi Regis Angliae, &c. decimo quinto coram.

Whereto the Commissioners must set their Hands as before; and when the rest have ac∣knowledged, let them, or other Commissioners named in the Dedimus, write the like for the rest, and let all the Commissioners, who have taken the Fine, set their Hands to the back of the Will.

Note, That this Dedimus potestatem hath no certain Return, so that if you execute it any time within a Year after it issued out, it will be well enough.

Your Fine thus acknowledged, you must File the Dedimus and Concord together, and then carry it to the Cursitor for that County (at

Page 167

the Cursitors Office in Chancery-Lane, over against Lincolns-Inn) who will thereupon make your Writ of Covenant, which ought to bear Teste before the Dedimus, because it is suppo∣sed by the Dedimus to be then depending; but whether it be returnable before or after Caption of the Fine is not material, though they usually make it returnable after the Caption: Your Writ of Covenant thus made, you are to carry to the Alienation-Office, where you are to compound for your Fine, according to the va∣lue of the Land, with one of the Commission∣ers there sitting. If all that is passed in your Fine be not worth forty shillings by the Year, you must have one to make Affidavit of it be∣fore the Doctor there, and then you shall pay no Fine for Composition: Or if you know the value of the Land, or the Purchase-Money, you are to inform the Commissioners, that they may rate the Fine accordingly. If any Fine of the same Lands hath been passed not long before, you are to shew that, whereby you may per∣swade the Commissioners to tax it somewhat the less. The Fine thus rated, you must go in to the Receiver in the same Office, and there pay the Fine of Composition, and six pence over for entring in the Receivers Book, and his signing the Writ. But if the Fine were taken

Page 168

by my Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas, that six pence is not to be paid to the Receiver.

When you have paid the Fine, you carry the Writ to one of the Clerks in the same Office that sits next Mr. Crew, who doth indorse the Writ, for which you pay four pence: Then Mr. Crew's Hand, 4 pence: To the Clerk that sits next by, who enters it, and hath six pence: But if it be after Term, a shilling: Then get two of the Commissioners Hands to your Writ, for which you pay nothing.

Having thus done at the Alienation Office, you are to carry your Writ again to the Cursi∣tor, who writes under the Writ thus:

Pro dim. marc. solut. pro Fine; or otherwise as the Fine is, and will then get it sealed for you: for which, when you fetch it away, you pay him two shillings six pence, and then he will deliver you your Concord and Dedimus again, which you left with him at the bespeaking your Writ of Covenant.

Next you are to make your Warrant of At∣torney in Parchment, as followeth:

D. ss. A. B. po. lo. suo N. C. Attornat. suum ad prosequend. breve con. versus C. D. & E. uxorem ejus, de tenementis cum pertin. in F.

Page 169

You are to carry your Warrant of Attorney, together with your Writ of Covenant, to the Clerk of the Warrants, who hath for filing the Warrant, and signing the Writ, four pence.

Next you are to carry your Writ to the Of∣fice, called Iones's Office in Brick-Court, Mid∣dle-Temple, who will return your Writ, and en∣ter it, and hath for that one shilling six pence.

Note, For more expedition you may return your Writ your self, before you carry it to the last mentioned Office; it is done thus,

Towards the upper end of the back of the Writ. pleg. de. pros. Iohannes Doe. Richardus Roe.

Towards the Middle Sum. Iohannes Denn. Richardus Fenn.

Towards the bottom, the Sheriffs Name, A. B. Miles, Vic.

Note, It must be the Sheriff that was in Of∣fice when the Writ was returnable.

Having gone thus far, you are to file your Writ of Covenant, Dedimus, and Concord together, and carry them to the Office of

Page 170

Custos Brevium, where the Secondary, or his Clerks will enter it in his Book, and endorse the Writ, for which you pay three shillings eight pence; from thence you carry it to the Kingsilver-Office in Lincolns-Inn, where the Fine for the value of the Land is entred, for which you pay in Sussex fourteen pence, Surrey ten pence, most of the Western Counties eighteen pence, &c. Hence you are to carry it to the Secondary at the Ciropraphers Office, who enters it in his Book, and hath for it in Term-time five shillings eight pence, after Term six pence more.

Then are you to deliver it to such of the Clerks of the same Office, who write for the County where the Lands lye, who will en∣gross the Indentures of your Fine; which, when you fetch from him, some convenient time after, he will demand of you three shil∣lings six pence, if it be with one warranty onely; otherwise six pence a piece for every warranty more. How justly these Clerks de∣mand this Fee of three shillings six pence I know not, formerly they never received more then two shillings six pence.

And thus have I led you through the several Offices where your Fines pass: At many of which, you shall be enforced to wait long, and

Page 171

often to go and come again two or three dayes after, the Clerks hoping thereby to extort some∣what out of you for expedition: which, I conceive, Non expedit, for you cannot justly demand it of your Clyent. It is best therefore to begin with your Fines as soon in the Term as you can, which will save you many post Ter∣minums.

Note, You may acknowledg a Fine in open Court, or before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas out of Court, or before any other Judg of that Court; or before the Justices of Assize in the Country, as well as by special Dedimus potestatem. And if you can conveni∣ently have it acknowledged any of those ways, it will be less charge to the Clyent.

The Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas may, ex officio, out of Court take the ac∣knowledgments of Fines without any Dedimus, &c. but none other; if therefore you are to acknowledg it before him, you must draw out the Praecipe and Concord fairly in Paper, and let the Conusors set their hands to it; then go to my Lords Chamber, and deliver your Con∣cord to him, who (the Parties being ready) will take their Acknowledgments, for which you pay eleven shillings eight pence; and my Lord himself will keep the Concord thus made

Page 172

in Paper, and you are to go to his Clerk some time after, who will engross it in Parchment, and get my Lords hand to it, which when you have from him, you are to go on through the se∣veral Offices as before.

Note, For more expedition, you may engross your Concord in Parchment before you go to acknowledg the Fine, and then have my Lords Hand to it at the same time when you carry your Concord in Paper; which my Lords Clerk will better like, and will be less trouble to you.

If you acknowledg a Fine before any other Judg, you must go with your Concord in Paper as before, and then after the Fine acknowled∣ged, you may sue out a general Dedimus potesta∣tem, directed to that Judg that took the Fine; which if you carry to his Clerk, he will engross the Concord upon the back of the Dedimus, and get the Judges hand to it; for which, besides the Judges Fee, you pay his Clerk sixteen pence, and no more, if it be a Fine in several Counties; Thence are you to proceed as be∣fore is directed.

An exact Table, shewing how many Years Pur∣chase a Lease or Annuity, to endure for a term of years under 33, is worth presently at Interest upon Interest, at six in the hundred; and shewing plainly how to discount any Lease in being, and the true value of the Reversion after any number of Years.

The use and explanation of this Table.
Years of a Lease.Years.Moneths.dec. parts.The first Colume, towards the left hand, sheweth the years of a Lease or Annui∣ty, and right against each year, is the years, moneths, and decimal parts of a Moneths Purchase, That such a Lease or Annuity is worth. Example.
Suppose a Lease or An∣nuity to continue ten years, and you would know how many Years Purchase it is worth in present mony, look into the Table for ten years of a Lease to the left hand; and against the same, you shall find 7, 4, 3, which sheweth such a Lease to be worth 7 years, 4 moneths, and three tenth parts of a Moneth Purchase.

Again, you are to take or buy the Reversion of any Lease or Annuity.

WOrk thus; Suppose the Lease to be 30 years in all, you find in the second Table, and right hand against it 13 years, 9 Moneths, and two tenth parts of a Moneths Purchase; This it were worth, were it in present possession: But suppose there be a Lease of five years (more or less) before yours commence, look in the Table against the five years, and there you find four years, two Moneths, and five tenth parts, half a Moneths Purchase: Take this out of the sum against 30, which is 13, 9, 2, 4, 2, 5; the remainder is 9 years, 6 months, 7 tenth parts of a moneth, and so much in the Reversion after 5 years, worth the Remainder of 30 years; this is useful, and very easie.
