CCCLXIII. Pasch. 33 Eliz. In the Common Pleas.

THe Case was; An Abbot leased Lands to three Men for 80 years; and in the end of the said Lease was a Clause, That if they died within the said Term, that then the Lessor might en∣ter. The possessions of the Abby came unto the King, who grant∣ed the Reversion to J.S. who made a new Lease thereof to J.D. for 21 years to begin after the expiration, determination, or sur∣render of the said former Lease.

The 3 Lessees died within the Term; If J.D. might now en∣ter before J.S. hath entred, was the Question?

And it was the Opinion of all the Iustices, That he could not; For it is in the Election of J.S. if he will take advantage of the Condition, and defeat the Lease; but that ought to be by Entry: and none can make such Entry but the Lessor himself, or by his ex∣press direction, &c.
