CCCLIII. Mich. 32 Eliz. In the Common Pleas.
BY the Statute of 32 H. 8. cap. 37. The Executors of a Grantee of a Rent-Charge, may distrain for the Arrearages of the said Rent in the life of the Testator, so long as the Land charged doth continue in the seisin, or possession of the Tenant in Demesne, who ought immediately to have paid the said Rent; or in the seisin of any other person or persons claiming the said Lands only by and from the said Tenant by purchase, gift, or descent, in like manner as the Testator might or ought to have done in his life-time.
It was now moved, If A. grant a Rent-charge to B. the Rent is behind: B. dieth; A. enfeoffeth C. in Fee, who divers years after enfeoffeth D. who divers years after enfeoffeth E. It was holden in this Case by Walmesley, Periam, and Windham, Iusti∣ces, That E. should be chargeable with the Arrearages to the Executors.
Anderson, Chief Iustice, held the contrary. But they all agreed, That the Lord by Escheat, Tenant in Dower or by the Curtesie, should not be chargeable; for they did not claim by the Party only, but also by the Law.
