Monstraverunt.

MOnstraverunt is a Writ that lies for the Tenants in Ancient Demesne, and is di∣rected to the Lord, him com∣manding not to Distain his Tenant to do other Ser∣vice then he ought: and they

may have this Writ directed to the Sheriff, that he suffer not the Lord to distrain the said Te∣nant to do other Service.

If the Tenants cannot be in quiet, they may have an Attachment against the Lord, to appear before the Iustices; and all the names of the Te∣nants shall be put in the Writ though but one of them be grie∣ved.

Also if any Land in anci∣ent Demesne be in variance be∣tween the Tenants, then the Tenant so grieved shall have against the other a Writ which is called of Right close, after the Custome of the Mannor; and that shall be alway brought in the Lords Court, and there∣upon he shall declare in the na∣ture of what Writ he will, as his case lies: and this Writ shall not be removed, but for a great cause, or non-power of the Court.

Also if the Lord in another place out of ancient Demesne distrain his Tenant, to do o∣ther Service then he ought, he shall have a Writ of Right, cal∣led Ne Injuste vexes; and it is a Writ of Right Patent, which shall be tried by Battel or Grand Assise.
