Dereine.

DEreine is taken in divers senses, and seems to come from the French Disarrayer, that is, to confound or put out of or∣der; or else the Norman word Desrene, which is the denial of a mans own act; and Lex De∣raisnia was the Proof of a thing which one denies to be done by himself, and his adversary af∣firms it, defeating and con∣founding the assertion of his ad∣versary, and shewing it to be without and against reason or probability. And in our Law it is diversly used. First gene∣rally, to prove; as, Dirationa∣bit jus suum haeres propinquior, Glanvile l. 2. c. 6. and he, l. 4▪ c. 6. saith, Habeo probos homines qui viderunt & audiverunt, & parati sunt hoc dirationare. In the same manner Bracton uses it, Habeo sufficientem Disratiocinationem & probationem▪

By the Statute of 31 H. 8. cap. 1. Ioyntenants and Te∣nants in common shall have Aid, to the intent to deraigne the Garranty paramount. So Plo. in Manxels Case, fol. 7. b. hath this Case, If a man hath an Estate in fee with Warranty, and enfeoffs a stranger with Warranty, and dies, and the Feoffee vouches his Heir; the Heir shall deraigne the first War∣ranty. Also this word is used when Religious men forsake

their Orders and Professions; as in Kitch. fol. 152. b. if a man makes a Lease for life upon condition, that if the Lessor dies without issue, then the Les∣see shall have Fee, the Lessee en∣ters in Religion, and then the Lessor dies without issue, and after the Lessee is deraigned; he shall not have Fee, insomuch as at the time of the Condition the Fee cannot vast in him.
