CHAP. XVIII.

The Kings Debtor dying, the King shall be first paid.

IF any that holdeth of Us Lay-fee do dye, and our Sheriff or Bayliff do shew our Letters Patents of our Summons for Debt, which the Dead man did owe to us: It shall be lawful to our She∣riff or Bayliff, to Attach and Inroll all the Goods and Chattels of the Dead, being found in the said Fee, to the value of the same Debt, by the sight and testimony of lawful men; So that nothing there∣of be taken away, until we be clearly paid off the Debt. (2.) And the residue shall remain to the Executors, to perform the Testament of the Dead. (3.) And if nothing be owing to Us, all the Chat∣tels shall goe to the use of the Dead (saying to his Wise and Children the Reasonable parts.)
