THis is the nature of an assise, and Iuris vtrum. Those that follow are either a Partitione facienda, & nu∣per obijt, (which both lye betweene priuies in bloud) or a Quo Iure.

A Particione facienda lyeth betweene co∣percenors to compell particion to be made, * 1.1 but not betweene Ioyntenants, or Tenants in Common, yet partition made there by * 1.2 assent betweene them is very good, but the

Nuper obijt lyeth against one priuie in * 1.4 bloud, that entreth after the death of the auncestor that dyed seised in demesne. And therefore beeing but to trie the

A Quo iure lyeth for the tenant of the * 1.5 land when one challengeth common, there to trie whether in right hee ought to haue any or no.
