Clarke versus Phillips & al'.

UPon the Trial in an Ejectment, the Title of the Plaintiff's Lessor appeared to be by a Remainder limited to him, for Life upon divers other Estates, and that there was a Fine levied, and Proclamations passed; but he, within the Five years after his Title accrued, sent two persons to deliver Declarations upon the Land, as the course is upon Ejectments brought.

The Court Resolved, that this was no Entry or Claim to avoid the Fine, he having given no express Authority to that purpose; and the Confession of Lease, Entry and Ouster, by the Defendant, should not prejudice him in this respect. In this Case Keeling and Twisden were of different Opinions in this Point, (Viz.) If he that hath power of Revocation over Lands, &c. makes a Lease for Life, whether it suspends the Power only, as a Lease for years would do, or extinguisheth it as a Feoffment?
