CHAP. XXVIII. OF CONVEYANCES.

In every Conveyance, there must be a Gran∣tor, and a Grantee, and something granted.

The Conveyance of some persons is void, of others voidable.

CONVEYANCE of a Woman Covert is void, without the consent of her hus∣band, and it ought to be made in her and his name, except it be done as Executor to an∣other.

Of an Infant, that which doth not take ef∣fect with the delivery of his own hands, is void, and an Action of Trespass will lie a∣gainst him, for taking the things given.

Otherwise it is but voidable, except it be as Executor, or for necessary meat, and drink, &c. for his advantage.

Voidable Of non sane memorie, Royall.

Voidable or made by duresse, Royall.

VOydable by the parties themselves, and their heires, and by them that shall have their estates, except Non sane himself.

Grants by Fine.

VOydable by Writ of Error, by an Infant▪ during his nonage, and by the Husband for a Fine levied by his Wife alone, during their marriage.

Conveyance of some persons cannot be good for ever, without the consent of others, as the Deane without the Chapter; the Ma∣jor without the Commonaltie, and of o∣ther bodies politick, that have a common Seale, or of a Parson without the Patron and Ordinary.

If there be no condition in the Convey∣ance, it shall be intended the elder.

A Conveyance made to a feme Covert, shall be good, and of effect, untill her husband do disagree.

An Infant may be Grantee, so may a Wo∣man Outlawed, a Villaine, a Bastard, and a Fellon.

A Bastard can have no heire, but the Issue of his body lawfully begotten.

An Infant at the age of discretion, by his actuall entry; and a woman against the will of her husband may be a disseisor, or a Trespassor.

In all conveyances there must be one na∣med, which may take by force the grant, at the beginning of the grant.

A grant made to the right heires of one that is dead, is good, or Custodibus Eccle. is good for goods.

All Chattells, reall or personall, may be granted; or given without a Deed.

Rent-service, Rent-seck, Rent-charge, Common of Pasture, or of Turbarie, Rever∣sion, Remainder, advowson, or other things which lieth not in manuall occupation, may not be conveyed for years, for life, in tayle, or in Fee, without writing.

The Major, or Commonalty, or such like, cannot make a Lease for years, without a Deed.
