Prerogative.
Here (viz.) of land, which is a thing permanent: for things transitory and re∣moveable the King may be put out of his possession, & have his action according, as ravishment of gard, quare impedit, &c. But of things permanent he cannot have an Action, as a Praecipe quod reddat, ejectment of ward, &c. because of such things he can∣not be put out of possession:the King having possession by matter of Record, or other good title, none can put him out. But if having no title by matter of Re∣cord, or otherwise, he enter upon me, and put me out, there if I enter again, my entry is lawful, and no intrusion. So if the King seise upon an office, finding that his tenant died seised but of an estate for life, the reversion to another; he in the rever∣sion may enter, and make a feoffment: for the King seiseth by colour of a Record, which record giveth him no title indeed.
