An abridgement of the Lord Coke's commentary on Littleton collected by an unknown author; yet by a late edition pretended to be Sir Humphrey Davenport, Kt. And in this second impression purged from very many gross errors committed in the said former edition. With a table of the most remarkable things therein.

Sect. 574. Fo. 318. a.

If one joyntenant make a Lease for years, reserving a rent and dye, the survivor shall not have the rent, & therefore Lit∣tleton here addeth materially, for the privity that was be∣twen the Tenant for life, and them in the reversion. 2 Eliz. Dyer 176.

Tenant for life shall not be compelled to attorn in a Quid juris clamat upon the grant of a reversion by Fine holden of the King himselfe without licence: For it is a generall rule, that when the grant by fine is defeasible, there the Tenant shall be compelled to attorne. 45 E. 3. 6. b. 13 Eliz. Dy. 188. Lib. 3. fo. 86. Justice Windhams case. 36 H. 6. 24.

As if an Infant levy a Fine, this is defeasible by Writ of Errour during his minority, and therefore the Tenant shall not be compelled to attorn.

So if the land be holden in ancient Demesn, and he in the reversion levy a Fine of the reversion at the Common Law, this is reversible in a Writ of Deceit, &c. 5 E. 3. 25. 3 E. 3. Ancient Demesn 16.

So if an Alienation be in Mortmain, the Lord Paramount may defeat it, &c. 17 E. 3. 7. 22 E 3. 18.

So if a Tenant in Tail had levied a Fine it was defeasible by the issue in Tail, 24 E 3. 25. b. 37 H. 6. 33. 48 E. 3. 23.

But now the Statute of 4 H. 7. 32 H. 8. having given a further strength to Fines to barre the issue in Taile, the rea∣son of the Common Law being taken away, t••e Tenant in this case shall be compelled to attorn. Windams Case, ubi suprà.
