Of Plaints.
SO farre of Writs, it followeth to speake of Plaints and Bils. Both being in such Courts as hold plea without originall writ.
A plaint is in matters that con∣cerne common pleas.
A plaint of Trespasse brought in a court baron, whether mannor, hundred, or coun∣tie * 1.1 Court, shall not proceed if the freehold come in question. But a suit by writ in the Countie Court may. Therefore in such case vpon a plaint in the Countie Court, the partie hath no remedie, but a writ of Tres∣passe vicontiell, and thereby the Sherife may determine the issue, though the free∣hold come in debate. But that is no remedie in other Court Barons.
