Termino Sancti Michaelis, Anno 2 W. & M. In Communi Banco.

Coghill versus Freelove.

IN an Action of Debt for Rent the Plaintiff Declared for 78 l upon three several Demises against the Defendant, as Ad∣ministratrix to Thomas Freelove her late Husband in the Detinet.

The Defendant pleaded, that after the Letters of Administration granted to her, and before the Rent became due, she assigned to Samuel Freelove the Indenture of Demise, and all her Estate and Interest in the Premisses; and that Samuel entred and was possessed, and that the Plaintiff had notice of the Assignment before the Action brought.

To this the Plaintiff Demurrs.

It was said for the Plaintiff, that the Action being brought in the Detinet, the Assignment was no Plea; for the Administratrix is charged upon the Contract of the Intestate, and liable (so far as there is Assets) tho' there be no Assignment. And tho' in the 3 Co. and in the 1 Cro. 555. Overton and Syddal's Case seems the contrary; and so Marrow and Turpin's Case in the 1 Cro. 715. And that the privity of Contract is determined by the Death of the Lesser, yet in Ironmonger and Newsam's Case in Latch 260. the contrary was Resolved. (Note, it did not appear by Latch to be Resolved; but the Chief Justice said it was so Resolved) So in 17 Car. 2. Syderfin 266. in Heylar and Casbord's Case it was Resolved, that the Action lay against the Executor upon the Contract, after an Assignment; where it was held also, that an Executor cannot wave a Term, unless he renounceth the whole Executorship.

After hearing Arguments at the Bar, the Court gave Judgment for the Plaintiff, (Powell absente.) As to Overton and Syddal's Case, it appears by Mo. 352. that Popham and Fenner were against Gawdy and Clench, vide Poph. Rep. 121.

It appears that the Action was brought in the Debet and De∣tinet, and by a Prebend upon the Lease of his Predecessor, and then an Assignment will be a Bar; which matters indeed do not appear to be urged in the Case, as Cited by my Lord Coke, and Reported by Cro. Eliz. 355. But they go upon the privity of Con∣tract, said to be dissolved by the Death of the Lessee. Sed vid. Latch. 261. that Case said not to be Resolved, as cited by Co.

and so Noy's Rep. 77. And for Marrow and Turpin's Case there is an acceptance of the Rent of the Assignee pleaded, as appears by 1 Cro. 715. tho' that doth not appear to be insisted on by the Books which Report the Case; however the latter Authotities are clear, that the Action lies in the Detinet after an Assignment, as appears by the Cases cited. Judicium pro Quer.

Note, The Court was moved upon the Case of Persons Out∣lawed upon Mesn Process before the late Act of General Pardon, 2 Willielmi & Mariae, it being provided by the said Act, That no Process of Outlawry, at the Suit of any Plaintiff, shall be stayed or avoided, unless the Defendant appears and puts in Bail (where by Law Bail is necessary) and takes forth a Writ of Scire facias against the party at whose Suit he was Outlawed.

Whether the Defendant, before he can have the benefit of this Pardon, must pay the Costs to the Plaintiff of the Outlawry; there being no mention of any thing, but his appearing and put∣ting in of Bail?

The Court were of Opinion, that he must pay the Costs, and to take the Act otherwise would be a great prejudice to the Plaintiff, who did no wrong.

And Pollexfen Chief Justice said, that the Practice had been so upon the General Act of Pardon, 25 Car. 2. cap. 5. and yet in that Statute the Claus•• concerning Outlawries is to the same purpose, and no mention made of the Costs of the party.

Denney versus Mazey.

IN a Replevin the Plaintiff Declared of taking of his Horse Colt at S. in quodam loco vocat' Townfield.

The Defendant saith, that before the Taking one Elizabeth Mann was seised in Fee de praedicto loco in quo, &c. and 20 Septemb. Anno primo Willielmi & Mariae demised the Premisses to him for a year then next ensuing, and that he entred, and avowed the taking of the Plaintiffs Horse damage feasant.

The Plaintiff Replied, that the said Elizabeth Mann was seised of the Premisses in Fee, and before the Lease to the Avowant, (viz.) the 5th of June, in the said first year of the King and Queen, she demised to the Plaintiff the Premisses habend' from the second day of March then last past for the Term of six years; by virtue of which he entred, and put his Horse into the Premisses, and traverseth the Lease made to the Avowant.

To this the Avowant Demurred generally.

Pollexfen Chief Justice inclined, that the Traverse was no cause of Demurrer, tho' it might have been omitted. He said there were divers Authorities against Heylars' Case in the 6 Co. which is Reported to the same effect in Mo. 551. 1 Cro. 658. as 1 Cro. 754. Covert's Case;* 1.12 and the Books generally are only, that there need be no Traverse, as the Bishop of Salisbury and Hunt in 3 Cro. 581. and Kellend and White, 3 Cro. 494. the other Justices doubted, relying upon the Authority of Heylar's Case, and Rice and Harve∣ston's Case, 2 Cro 299. and Yelv. 221. where 'tis said, that such a

Traverse makes the Plea vitious, Vid. Mo. 557. But here the Demurrer being General, 'tis but matter of Form, and clearly aided by the Statute of 27 Eliz. where if one Confess, and Avoid, and Traverse, 'tis in nature of a Double Plea. Vid. That it is good upon a General Demurrer, Edwards and Woodden, 3 Cro. 323. So Judgment was by the whole Court given for the Plaintiff.

Woodward versus Fox. Quod vide ante ultimo Termino.

THe Case was this Term Argued again by Serjeant Pem∣berton for the Defendant, and by Serjeant Powell for the Plaintiff; upon the Point, Whether the Nomination to the Office, being forfeited by the Statute of Ed. 6. it did belong to the King or the Bishop (in whose Diocess the Archdeaconry was) to make the Register?

But Pollexfen, Chief Justice, desired them to Consider, Whether the King (admitting he had a right by the Statute) could grant this Office of the Register, before Office found of the Forfeiture?

Note, In case of Simony the Presentation vests in the King with∣out Office. Adjornatur.

Morgan versus Hunt.

IN Covenant the Plaintiff Declared, that the Defendant Let to him a certain House and Lands, and Covenanted that he should quietly and peaceably enjoy it, without any manner of in∣terruption, molestation or disturbance; and that by virtue of the said Demise he ented, and sometime after the Defendant exhibited a Bill against the Plaintiff in the Court of Chancery, wherein he charged the Plaintiff with ploughing up Meadows, and the com∣mitting of divers Wastes; and did obtain an Injunction out of the said Court against the Plaintiff, whereby he was interrupted in his Ploughing, &c. and that afterwards the said Bill was dismissed with 20 l Cofts, and so the Defendant had broken his Cove∣nant.

After a Verdict for the Plaintiff (I know not upon what Issue) it was moved in Arrest of Judgment:

First, That here was no sufficient Breach set forth. It was said, that the Law does not take notice of Proceedings in Chan∣cery, Poph. 205. it is said, If one be possessed of Lands by Extent, and by a Decree in a Court of Equity he is forced to pay a Rent

out of the Lands, this shall not be a legal Eviction or Recovery for so much.

Secondly, The Suit in Chancery here is not touching the Lessees Estate or Title, but for Waste, which he ought not to do; and tho' the Suit might be groundless, yet it not relating to his Title or Possession, was no breach of Covenant.

The Judgment was stayed by the Opinion of the whole Court, for the last Reason; for this was interruption or disturbance within the Covenant, the Subject matter of the Suit being for Waste.

But the Court will take notice of a Suit in Chancery; and 1 Cro. 768. an Assumpsit in Consideration of desisting from exhi∣biting a Bill in Chancery was held a good Consideration.

Anonymus.

IN a Covenant, That the Defendant should keep in good Repair the House, Outhouses and Stables; and the Breach assigned, was that the Defendant had permitted the Racks in the Stable to be in decay.

After Verdict for the Plaintiff, it was moved in Arrest of Judg∣ment, that the Plaintiff had not set forth that the Racks were fixed in the Stable, and so part of the Freehold; for they might be in the Stable and lye loose.

Pollexfen, Chief Justice, was of Opinion, that it ought to have been shewn in the Declaration, that the Racks were set up and fixed.

But the other Justices conceived, that it should be intended that they were Racks fixed for use in the Stable; and it would be very remote to give it any other Construction. And so Judgment was given for the Plaintiff.

Anonymus.

IN an Ejectment it was moved in Arrest of Judgment, that the Plaintiff had declared of two Demises, (viz.) That J. S. de∣mised 10 Acres of Land to him, an that J. N. had demised 10 other Acres of Land to him habend' for the Term of Five years, &c. and that he entred into the Premisses demised to him by J. S. and J. N. in forma praedict'.

After Verdict, upon Not guilty for the Plaintiff, it was Objected, That in one of the Demises there is no certain Term or Estate; for the habend' can be referred only to the Demise of J.S. for that begins a New sentence.

But the Court held, that the Habend' should be a good Limita∣tion of both Demises for Five years; and when 'tis shewn, that the Plaintiff entred into the Premisses demised to him in forma praedict', that is an Averment that all was demised for Five years, for that is the forma paed'; As Lands lett to A. for his life, Remainder to B. in forma praed', this is an Estate to B. for Life. And so Judgment was given for the Plaintiff.

Anonymus.

IN an Action upon the Statute of Hue and Cry, it was after Verdict moved in Arrest of Judgment, that in the Recital of the Statute there were Variances from the Statute and Omis∣sions.

First, There was no mention of Burning of Houses in the Recital; but that is in the Statute.

Non allocatur: For 'tis not necessary to set forth more in the Declaration than is pertinent to the Action.

Secondly, The Statute is, That the Country should answer for the Bodies of the Malefactors; and the Recital is, Quod patria respondeat {pro} Malefactoribus, the sense of which is, That the Coun∣try should stand in their stead; whereas the meaning of the Sta∣tute is, That they should produce their Persons.

Sed non allocatur: For as it is in the Recital of the Declaration it well answers the sense of the Statute.

Anonymus.

IN an Action of Trespass, quare Clausum fregit, and digging up and carrying away of his Trees.

It appeared upon the Evidence, That the Defendant had entred into the Plaintiffs Close, and digged up several Roots of his Trees, and removed them to a place on the same Ground, about two yards distance off.

And the Question was, Whether this were such a Carrying away, as that the Plaintiff should have full Costs, or only Costs according to the late Statute, where the Damages are under 40 s as was in this Case?

Pollexfen Chief Justice and Rokeby (Powell absente) were of Opinion, that the Plaintiff was to have full Costs, because the Roots were carried from the place where they were digged, tho' not removed off from the Ground; and they said, that it had been adjudged Felony to take and removed things with an intent to steal them, tho' laid at a small distance from the place, and not carried out of the House, or the like.

Ventris conceived, That the taking of the Roots and laying them a little way off in the same man's Ground, could not be taken as an asportavit, and it differed from the Case of Stealing; for taking Goods as a Thief is the Felony, and it doth not lye in the carrying them off, but in the Felonious intent in the taking.

But by the Opinion of the other two of the Plaintiff had his full Costs.

Anonymus.

IT was moved for a Prohibition to the Ecclesiastical Court, to stay a Suit for Dilapidations, by the Successor against the Executor of the former Incumbent, upon the late General Act of Pardon; for that all Suits for Offences of Incest, Simony, or Dilapidations, are excepted in the Act, unless commenced and depending before such a Day, (viz.) the 20th day of March last; and this Suit was commenced since.

The whole Court, upon Hearing of Counsel at the Bar and Consideration of the Matter, conceived, that the Parliament never intended to take away the Successors Remedy for Dilapidations; for that would be to ease the Executor of the last Incumbent, who was the Wrong-doer, and translate the Charge to the Successor: But they would intend this Exception of such Suits as might be in the Ecclesiastical Court ex Officio against the Dilapidator himself, to punish it as a Crime against the Ecclesiastical Law, and to pardon it, unless there were Prosecution before the Day afore∣said. And so the Prohibition was denied.

Nota, If a Sheriff of a County in a City be in Contempt, the Attachment is to go to the Coroner, and not to the Mayor or Chief Officer of the Corporation in such City or Town: And if the Offender be out of his Office, the Attachment shall be directed to the New Sheriff.

Gawden versus Draper.

IN an Action of Covenant the Plaintiff declared upon a Deed of Covenant by Indenture, made between the Defendant and him, whereby the Defendant Covenanted with the Plaintiff, That Sarah (Wife of the Defendant) should be permitted to live separate from the Defendant, until the Defendant and the said Sarah by Writing under their several Hands, attested by two Witnesses, should give notice to each other, that they would again Cohabit. And further Covenanted, That he the Defendant, during the Co∣verture, and until such Notice should be given of their desires to Cohahit, as aforesaid, would pay to the Plaintiff, for the Mainte∣nance of the said Sarah, 300 l per Annum at four Quarterly payments; and sets forth, That the said Sarah, form the Date of the said Indenture to the time of the said Suit, did live separate from the Defendant, and no notice of Cohabitation, as aforesaid, had been given during that time of either side: And for 75 l for one Quarters payment of the said 300 l which was to be paid at our Lady-day last the Action is brought.

The Defendant pleads in Bar, That after the Indenture afore∣said, and before the Action brought, another Indenture was made between the Defendant and the said Sarah his Wife, of the one part, and the Plaintiff of the other part, which the Defendant {pro}fert hic in Cur' reciting the said first Indenture; and further reciting, That the Defendant and the said Sarah did then intend to Cohabit, and did at that time Cohabit, and expressing that it was the true intent and meaning of all the said parties to the said Indenture produced, ut supra, by the Defendant, That so long as the Defendant and the said Sarah should agree to Cohabit, the said Annual payment should cease. And the Plaintiff did by the said last mentioned Indenture, by the appointment of the said Sarah, as appointed by her, being party thereunto, and her Signing, Seal∣ing and Delivery thereof, covenant and agree with the Defendant, That so long as the Defendant and the said Sarah should Cohabit, he should be saved harmless from the said 300 l Annual payment; and that it should be lawful for him (during such Cohabitation) to detain the same, ut per dictam Indenturam plenius apparet, and averreth, That ever since the last mentioned Indenture they did Cohabit, and demands Judgment of the Action.

The Plaintiff Replies, That they did not Cohabit modo & forma prout the Defendant placitando allegavit, & hoc petit quod inquirat', &c. And to that the Defendant Demurred.

Birch Serjeant, Argued for the Defendant, That this latter In∣denture, which sets forth a mutual Agreement to Cohabit, and that they did Cohabit, which is alledged in the Bar, and confessed by the Demurrer, had dispensed with those Circumstances, (viz.) A Writing mutually Subscribed, arrested by two Witnesses, giving Notice of each parties Intention so to Cohabit; and this Covenant, That it should be lawful for the Defendant to detain the same so long as such Cohabitation should continue, as is therein mentioned, might well be pleaded in Bar to the Action brought upon the first Inden∣ture.

But by the Opinion of the whole Court Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff; for they held, that unless the Cohabitation had been according to the first Indenture, it was no Bar; for the last Deed, had not taken away the effect of the former, a latter Covenant cannot be pleaded in Bar of a former. But the Defen∣dant must bring his Action upon the last Indenture, if he would help himself.

Anonymus.

A Fieri facias was taken out, which was executed after the party was Dead upon the Goods in the hands of the Executor; but the Teste was before his death. But it appeared, that the Delivery to the Sheriffs, and Endorsment thereupon, according to the New Statute of 29 Car. 2. was after his Death.

The Court held, that at the Common Law the Execution had been clearly good: But the Statute is, that the property of the Goods shall be bound but from the delivery of the Writ to the Sheriff.

And the Court rather inclined, that the Execution was good, and that the Statute was made for the benefit of Strangers, who might have a Title to the Goods between the Teste of the Writ of Execution, and the time of the delivery thereof to the Sheriff. But as to the party himself, the Goods were bound from the Teste ever since the Statute of Vicesimo nono Car. 2. But it was Ordered to be further spoken to.

Watmough versus Holgate & al'.

AN Action of Debt upon a Bond of 40 l

The Condition was to perform an Award to be made of all Matters between them.

The Defendant pleaded no Award made.

The Plaintiff Replied, and set forth an Award to have been made de praemissis, (viz.) That the Defendant should pay to the Plaintiff 15 l at or before the first day of December then next ensuing, which the Arbitrator did judge the Plaintiff to have sustained in Costs and Damages, by reason of a Suit without Cause commenced by the Defendant against the now Plaintiff.

And further the Award was, That all Suits and Differences between the said parties, which were depending before the Date of the Bond should cease and determine; and in facto dicit, that the Defendant had not paid the said 15 l upon the 1st day of December in the said Award mentioned.

And to this the Defendant Demurred.

It was Argued, First, That this Award was all of one side; for it doth not appear that there was any Difference between the parties, save the Suit upon which the Costs are awarded, (viz.) 15 l and that was the Suit of the now Defendant; and what benefit hath he by staying his own Suit, and paying 15 l for Costs?

Secondly, He assigns the Breach, that the 15 l was not paid upon the 1st day of December, so it might be paid before; and the Award is to pay it ad vel ante primum diem Decembris.

It was Answered to the first, That there might be well intended other Differences, tho' not set forth.

Again, For ought appears, the Plaintiff in the Action mentioned in the Award might be subject to have Costs taxed at the prosecu∣tion of the then Defendant, whereas this Award stops the Defen∣dant from applying to the Court for Costs.

As to the second, If Issue be taken upon solvit ad diem, payment before the Day maintains the Issue.

The Court inclined, that the Award was good. Sed Adjorna∣tur.

THe Court now delivered their Opinions, That the Double∣ness in the Declaration was cured by Answering, and no Exception can be taken to it upon the General Demurrer. And the Case in the 1 Roll. Rep. 112. Sanders and Crowly is the same with this. Judicium pro Quer.

The Lord Lexington versus Clarke and his Wife. Trin. 1 Willielmi & Mariae Rot. 1539.

IN an Assumpsit the Plaintiff sets forth, That the 25th of March 1685. he had Demised to William Brady, the former Husband of the now Defendants Wife, divers Lands at the Rent of 320 l per Annum to hold at Will, and that there was due from the said Brady 160 l for Half a years Rent, and that he died possessed of the Premisses, and that the Wife of the now Defendant, while she was sole, and soon after the death of the said Brady her late Husband, in Consideration that the Plaintiff would permit her to hold and enjoy the Premisses till our Lady-day next ensuing the decease of her said Husband, and permit her to remove divers Posts, Rails and other things, fixed and placed upon the Premisses by her said Husband, did promise to the Plaintiff, That she as well the aforesaid 160 l that then was in arrear (as aforesaid) in the life of her said late Husband, as also 260 l more, would well and truly pay; and shews, that she did enjoy the said Premisses by the permission of the Plaintiff till Lady-day aforesaid: And that he suffered her also to take away the things before-mentioned; yet she, when she was sole, nor the Defendant or she, since her Marriage, did not pay the said Sums of Money, or any part of them, &c.

Vpon Non Assumpsit pleaded, a special Verdict was found,

The the Defendants Wife did make the Promise prout, and that she enjoyed the Lands, and took away the Posts, &c. as in the Declaration is set forth; and that since she had paid the 160 l to the Plaintiff; but had not paid the 260 l or any part thereof; and they find, that the said Promise, nor any Memorandum or Note thereof, was not put into Writing, or signed by the Wife of the Defendant, or any person authorized by her to do it; and they find, that she paid the 160 l before the Action brought; and they find the Act of Parliament in 29 Car. 2. against Frauds and Per∣juries; whereby it is Enacted, That no Action should be brought to charge an Executor or Administrator upon any special Promise to answer of his own Estate, or upon any Promise to answer for the Debt, Default or Miscarriage of any other person, &c. unless the Agreement, or some Memorandum or Note thereof, were by the person, or some other empower'd by him, put into Writing, signed, &c. prout in Statuto; and made the General Conclusion.

It was Argued for the Plaintiff, that altho' as to the payment of the 160 l which was the Debt of her the Defendants late Husband, the Promise might be void in regard it was not in Writing, according to the said Statute; yet as to the payment of the 260 l the Promise is not within the Statute, for that is upon a good Consideration, and her own proper Debt and Damages are only given; for that the 160 l is found to have been paid.

But by the Opinion of all the Court Iudgment was given for the Defendant; for the Promise as to one part being void, it cannot stand good for the other: For 'tis an entire Agreement, and the Action is brought for both the Sums, and indeed could not be otherwise, without variance from the Promise.

Note, It did not appear by the Record that the Wife was Exe∣cutrix or Administratrix to her former Husband.

Kempe versus Cory & al'.

IN a Replevin the Plaintiff declared for the taking of his Cattle the 19th of June 1 VVillielmi & Mariae at D. in a place called Fludder Park.

The Defendant avows; for that the locus in quo containeth twenty Acres, and saith that he was seised of a Third part of a Messuage and Tenement called Trewint, of which the said twenty Acres are, and for time whereof, &c. were parcel; and that he being so seised long before the taking, demised the said Third part of the said Messuage and Tenement to one James Robyns, to have and to hold for 99 years at the yearly Rent of 1 l 13 s and 4 d payable Quarterly during the said Demise. And that

the said Robyns entred, and for two years Rent arrear at the Feast of the Nativity, in the Year of our Lord 1688. he distrained the Cattle in the Declaration.

The Plaintiff Replied in Bar of the Avowry, and Confessed the Seisin of a Third part of the said Messuage and Tenement, and the Lease prout &c. but saith, that before the taking one William Spry was seised in his Demesn, as of Fee, of the other two parts of the said Messuage and Tenemeni called Trewint, of which the said twenty Acres are parcel. And he being so seised, the said William Spry, before the time of the taking, did give License to the Plaintiff to put his Cattle into the said twenty Acres, and he put them in by the said License; where they con∣tinued till the Plaintiff took them, and detained them prout, &c.

To this the Avowant Demurred.

It was held clear by the Court, That the Third part and two parts, being undivided, the Avowant could not Distrain the Cattle of him that had the Two parts, or the Cattle of any one which were put in by his License upon any part of the Land.

But Pollexfen Chief Justice doubted, in regard the Avowry was of the taking in praedicto loco in quo ut in & super praedict' tertiam partem tenementi praedict', Whether the Plaintiff should not have traversed absque hoc, that the taking was in tertia parte tantum, and shewn in the Inducement to such traverse how they held in Common?

Tovey versus Pitcher.

IN an Action of Covenant against the Defendant, as Assignee of Susan Gill, Executrix of Elizabeth Gill, the Plaintiff De∣clared of a Demise of a Messuage to Richard Gill, reserving Rent; and that Gill entred and died possessed, and that after the said Susan (his Executrix) entred, and the 4th of June 1685. assigned the Lease to the Defendant, and shewed, that the Defen∣dant had not paid Half a years Rent due on the 1st of January 1689.

The Defendant pleads, That before the said Rent became due, (viz.) the 4th of June 1689. he granted and assigned all his Estate and Interest in the Premisses to one James Mott of London Gent. who entred by virtue of the said Assignmenr. and is yet pos∣sessed, &c.

And to that the Plaintiff Demurred.

The sole Question was, Whether the Defendant ought to have given Notice to the Plaintiff of the Assignment. Er Adjornatur.

Lawson versus Haddock.

IN an Action of Debt upon a Sheriffs Bond, the Condition was, That the Defendant should appear coram Rege & Regina in Cancellaria apud Westm. in Quinden' Paschae, which was the Re∣turn Day of an Attachment issued out of Chancery against him for a Contempt.

The Defendant pleaded the Statute of 23 H. 6. which (inter alia) Enacts, That the Sheriffs, &c. should let to Bail such persons as were Arrested and in their Custody, by virtue of any Writ, Bill or Warrant, in any Action Personal, or upon any Indictment of Trespass. And upon Condition, that they should appear at the Day and Place in the Writ, &c. mentioned; and that all Bonds taken in other Form should be void.

And the Defendant further said, That by an Attachment awarded out of Chancery against him, the Plaintiff being then Sheriff, was commanded to have the Defendant coram Rege & Regina in Can∣cellar' in Quinden' Pasch' ubicunque Cur' illa tunc foret in Anglia;

and the Plaintiff took him by virtue of the said Writ, and detained him till he had given the said Bond with Condition, as aforesaid, pro easiamento & favore, &c. Which said Bond the Plaintiff colore Officij took of the Defendant contra formam Statuti &c. & sic dicit quod scriptum Oblig' vigore Statuti praedict' vacuum in lege existit & hoc parat' est verificare, &c.

To this the Plaintiff Demurred:

First, The Statute saith, That where the party is in Custody by virtue of any Writ, &c. in any Action, or upon any Indictment of Trespass: And an Attachment for Contempt out of Chancery, is not within the words of the Statute, in the 3 Cro. Johns and Stratford 309. Taken by a Serjeant at Mace upon Process out of the Grand Sessions, held not within the Statute, in the 3 Leon. 280.

Secondly, The Condition is to appear coram Rege in Cancellar' apud Westm. instead of ubicunque, as the Writ is: For this vide Styl. 234. Burton and Law, and Mo. 430. Corbett and Down∣ing.

As to the first the Court inclined, That Attachments out of Chancery were within the Statute. 'Tis the constant Practice for Sheriffs to take Bail in such Cases. Vid. Styl. 234. Rolls's Opinion according.

As to the second Point 'tis true, That such Bonds have been judged void; but of later times the Court have not been so strict upon the Wording of such Bonds. And a Case was Cited to have been in B. R. Trin. 22 Car. 2. Rot. 914. where the Condition of a Sheriffs Bond was to appear coram Justiciariis nostris de Banco, and not said apud Westm. and yet held good.

But the Court gave leave to speak further to the Case at Bar.

Williams versus Bond.

A Prohibition to a Suit in the Ecclesiastical Court by the Defendant, Churchwarden of the Parish Church of St. Peter in Hereford, against the Plaintiff, charging him with the Repairs of the Chancel of the said Church, as Owner of the Priory-House, to which Owners it hath belonged (as was pretended) t••••e out of mind to Repair the said Chancel; whereas there never was any such Custom as the Plaintiff suggested and set forth in his Declaration upon the Prohibition: And that he had so alleadged and pleaded in the Ecclesiastical Court, to hinder the Proceedings upon and trying such Custom in the Court Ecclesiasti∣cal; which the Judge there refused to admit, but doth proceed to Try, Determine and give Sentence against the Plaintiff upon the

said pretended Prescription, whereas all such Custom ought to be tryed at Law, &c.

The Defendant after a Traverse to any Proceedings after the Prohibition delivered pro Consultatione habend', saith, That all the Proprietors of the said Messuage called the Priory-House, have Repaired the said Chancel time out of mind, & hoc parat' est verificare, &c. unde petit Judicium & breve de Consulta∣tione.

And to this the Plaintiff Demurred.

And the Court were of Opinion, that a Consultation should be granted; for they may sue upon this Prescription and try it there, as a Suit may be in the Ecclesiastical Court for a Modus deci∣mandi; and tho' the Parson is of Common Right to Repair the Chancel, yet it may be upon a particular man's Estate by Pre∣scription. Vide 1 Brownl. 16. 1 Roll. 126. Poph. 197. and Latch. 217.

Judith Hanson versus Liversedge.

IN an Action of Debt upon a Bond, the Condition was to per∣form the Award of two Arbitrators in Writing, or by word of Mouth.

The Defendant pleaded Nullum fecerunt arbitrium.

The Plaintiff replies, That at the time of the Bond and Award she had an Action against the Defendant for scandalous Words, and that the Arbitrator did make, declare and publish their Award in manner and form following, (viz.) That the Defendant should pay to the Plaintiff 12 Guinea's, and all such Moneys as she had expended circa prosecutionem placiti praedict'; and that the parties should give mutual Releases of all Matters to the Date of the said Bond, and saith, that she laid out in the said Suit 11 l 7 s and de∣manded the said Sums of Money of the Defendant, and prote∣stando that the Defendant had not paid her the 11 l 7 s dicit in facto that he had not paid the 12 Guinea's awarded, as aforesaid, & hoc parat' est verificare, &c.

To this the Defendant Demurred.

And Pemberton for the Defendant said,

First, This Award, as set forth, appears to be void; for 'tis to pay the Charges expended circa placit' praed', and the Award doth not mention any Suit before; and tho' the Plaintiff in her Induce∣ment saith, That she had an Action for Words against the Defen∣dant then depending, that will not help it, for that is no part of the Award; but the Award in the Form as 'tis set forth is un∣intelligible, there being no Suit mentioned before to refer placit' praedict' unto.

Secondly, 'Tis not sufficient to Award payment of the Charges in such a Suit, it being altogether uncertain what the Sum will amount to.

Thirdly. It ought to have been shewn, that the Plaintiff had a Cause of Action in the Action that is mentioned to have been brought against the Defendant for Slander; and so is Spigurnell's Case in Siderfin 1st Part 12.

Curia. As to the first, if the Award were in Writing in such form of Expression, it could not be good; but he which sets forth an Award by Parol is not tyed to the words, for the precise words might be very difficult to prove; but 'tis sufficient to shew the effect and substance of what was awarded by Word of Mouth, and 'tis sufficiently shew that this Award was made concerning that Action of Slander.

For the Second, the Court held, that the Award was good; for it may be easily reduced to a Certainty, when 'tis made appear what was laid out in that Suit, as in 1 Roll. Abr. 251. Beale and Beale, and in the 3 Cro. 383. to pay the Charges of such a Voy∣age held a good Award.

Thirdly, The Plaintiff need not shew that there was Cause of Action, for that is left to the Arbitrators, and they have power to award Charges thereupon, tho' in point of Law there were no Cause of Action; for the Parties have made the Arbitrators their Judges.

And the Court were not satisfied with the Opinion Reported by Syderfin in Spigurnell's Case, and said, he was then a young Re∣porter. Whereupon Judicium pro Quer'.

Major & probi homines de Guldeford' versus Clarke.

IN an Action of Debt by the Mayor and probi homines of Gild∣ford against Clarke, they declared upon a Prescription to make By-Laws {pro} bono Regim' & Gubernac̄one Vill' {pre}d', and that there has been an ancient Officer (called a Bayliff) of the said Town elected for time whereof, &c. upon the Monday next after Michaelmass Day, and they set forth a By Law made, That if any Inhabitant of the said Town should be duly Elected to the said Office of Bayliff, and should refuse to take it upon him, he should forfeit and pay to the Corporation 20 l And that after the said Law made (viz.) upon the 30th of September, anno primo Willielmi & Mariae, the Defen-being then an Inhabitant and Freeman of the said Town, was Chosen a Bayliff, according to ancient Vsage for the year following, and had Notice thereof; but he refused to take upon him the said Office, unde actio accrevit Major' & prob' homin' for Twenty pounds, &c.

The Defendant pleaded Actio non; for that by the Statute made 13 Cat. 2. for Regulating of Corporations, it was amongst other things Enacted, That after the determination and expiration of the Commission for Regulating of Corporations (in the said Act mentioned) no person or persons should for ever after be Chosen into any of the Offices or Places (before mentioned in the said Act,) who within One year next before such Election had not Received the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, according to the Usage of the Church of England; and that every person Elected, should take the Oaths and subscribe the Declaration (in the said Act mentioned) at the same time as the Oath, for the due Execution of the Office he is Elected to shall be Administred; and in default thereof, every such Election to be void.

And the Defendant further said, That he is, and at the time of the said Election he was a Protestant Subject of the King and Queen, and a Dissenter from the Church of England, and that he had not Received the Sacrament within a year before the said Ele∣ction, by reason whereof he was not capable to be Elected to the said Office, and the Election, by reason of the said Act, was void, & hoc parat' est verificare, &c.

To this Plea the Plaintiffs Demurred.

In the Argument of this Case, Sir John Read's Case was Cited, who several years since was made Sheriff of Hertfordshire, who was then under an Excommunication and so could not Re∣ceive the Sacrament; and therefore after he had held the Office for three Months, left off, and did not attend at the Assizes, for which he was Fined 500 l And after Argument in the Exchequer, where it was insisted on, that the Act of 25 Car. 2. made for preventing of Dangers that might arise from Popish Recusants, did avoid the said Office upon his not having taken the Sacrament, and he was dis∣abled to do it by reason of his Excommunication; yet he was Adjudged in the Court of Exechequer to pay the 500 l Fine.

But the Court held here, that the Matter pleaded by the Defen∣dant was a good Bar; for in regard the Act of 13 Car. 2. had Enacted; That none should be Chosen who had not Received the Sacrament within One year before such Choice; and there could be no Refusal before the Election, it was plain that the Defendant had not incurred the Penalty of the By-Law. And it differed from the Case of Sir John Read; for he was once actually in the Office, and obliged thereupon to do all things necessary for his proceeding in it: But here, in this Case, to make a Default in the Defendant there must have been an Election antecedent, and the Election of such an one as the Defendant is, is absolutely prohibited by the Statute.

There were also two Exceptions taken to the Declaration.

First, The By-Law is said to have been, That if any Inhabitant should be Chosen; whereas they cannot make By-Laws to bind all the Inhabitants of the Town, but only the Freemen or Members of the Corporation.

Secondly, The Vsage is set forth, That the Election should be die Lunae proxime post Festum Sancti Michael' Archi', and the Ele∣ction of the Defendant is alledged to be upon the 30th of Septem∣ber; but it was not shewn that it fest upon the Monday, and that the Court can't take notice of it, or consult the Almanack, as this Case is, where it ought to have been set forth in plead∣ing.

And the Court held these Matters incurable, and so Judgment was given for the Defendant.

Dawney versus Vesey.

THe Plaintiff as Executrix to William Dawney, her late Hus∣band, brought an Action of Debt upon a Bond, wherein the Defendant was bound to the said Testator, with Condition to per∣form an Award.

The Defendant demanded Oyer of the Condition, and pleaded, That the Arbitrators made an Award, that the Defendant should pay 30 l to the said William Dawney, or his Assigns, within two Months then next following, in full satisfaction of all Trespasses, Damages and Demands; and that the said parties upon payment of the said Money should give mutual Releases; and sheweth, that the said William Dawney after the said Award, and within two Months died, and demanded Judgment of the Action.

To this the Plaintiff Demurred.

And Judgment was given for the Plaintiff; for tho' the Money was awarded to be paid to William Dawney, and no mention of his Executors, yet the Money was to be paid to the Executors, for an Award creates a Duty.

And it was Objected, That if the Defendant should pay the Money, they could not compel the Plaintiff, who is Executrix, to Release.

The Court held, that she ought to release all Demands that the Testator had against the Defendant. Vide 1 Cro. 10. Kingwell and Knapman, 1 Ro. Rep. 197. 31 H. 6. tit. Barre 59. 3 Leon. 12. 1 Roll. Abr. 420.

Harris versus Parker.

IN an Action of Debt for Rent the Plaintiff declared, That he demised at the Parish of St. Martin in the Fields in the County of Middlesex, to the Defendant a Messuage Barn and Gardens, with a Stable adjoyning que premissa praed. sunt Scituat' jacen. & existen. in & super acclivitatem de Hampstead (Anglicè) the rise of Hampstead Hill, to hold to the Defendant for seven years at 18 l per annum Rent, &c. and declared of another Demise at St. Martins afore∣said, of another Messuage, &c. Scituate as aforesaid, to the De∣fendant, to hold at Will at the like yearly Rent, &c. and for 90 l set forth to have been due upon the said several Demises, he brings the Action.

The Defendant pleaded, That the Plaintiff tempore dimissionum praed. nihil habuit in Tenementis praed.

The Plaintiff replied, That ante tempora praedict seperal. Dimiss the Lord Wotton dimised to the Plaintiff, the said Messuage and Premisses for the Term of one and forty years (ipso Dom. Wot∣ton plenam potestatem jus & titulum ad premissa & ea dimittend. pro Termino praed. habente) and that the Plaintiff did enter by vertue of the said Dimise, and being possessed of the Premisses made the several Dimises to the Defendant prout, &c.

To this the Defendant Demurred:

For that the Plaintiff in his Replication hath set forth no Title in the Lord Wotton, nor shewn what Estate he had, or that he had any Estate.

As to that the Court inclined, that the Replication was well enough, but they took the Bar not to be well pleaded; for the Plaintiff declared of two Dimises, and the Bar is, that tempore dimissionum praed. nihil habuit, whereas it ought to have been

distinctly pleaded, that he had nothing at the time of either of the Dimises, for the Declaration is of two Dimises, and the time being put in the singular number it cannot be carried to both, and tis not like pleading Non Assumpsit to a Declaration, containing several promises, vide Palmers Rep. A Quo Warranto was brought against a Corporation for several Franchises, and they pleaded a Prescription to one, and a Charter as to another, &c. and con∣cluded eo Warr. Clamant; and that was held good, and so Iudg∣ment there was given for the Plaintiff nisi causa.

But then it was moved at another day, that the Declaration was not good for the Messuage and Premses dimised, for they are said here to be Scituate in & super acclivitat' de Hampstead, which is a description of the Scituation; but here is no Vill laid or lieu conus for a Jury, and of this the Court doubted. Postea.

Every versus Carter.

IN an indebitat' Assumpsit, the Plaintiff declared upon several Promises.

The Defendant pleaded the Statute of Limitations.

The Plaintiff replied, That before the six years were elapsed he prosecuted an Original against the Defendant, Returnable coram tunc Justiciariis Jacobi secundi nuper Dom.

Et hoc petit quod inquitatur per patriam.

Vicecom' Staff' salu∣tem Si Johanes Every Ar' fec' te securum de clamore suo prosequend' tunc pon' per vadios & salvos plegios Johannem Carter, &c. quod sit coram Justiciariis nostris apud Westm', &c. ostens' quare vi et armis clausum ipsius Johannis Every, apud Tutbury fregit & alia emormia ei intulit ad grave damnum, &c.

To this the Plaintiff Demurred; for it was said, that it was according to the course which of late time had obtained in this Court, to declare in any Action upon a Clausum fregit, as they do upon a Latitat in the Kings Bench.

The Court agreed, it was the practite now settled in the Court, to take out such Original in a Clausum fregit, and to declare super Assumpsit or the like; but whether this were sufficiently set forth in the Plaintiffs Replication, for he mentions nothing of the course of the Court, but that he prosecuted such a Writ ea intentione to

declare; And the Court being informed that there were a great many Presidents in this manner, the Court appointed them to be looked into. Et Adjornatur.

Lade versus Barker.

IN Replevin the Plaintiff declared of a taking at a place called the 14 Acres at Barham in Kent: The Defendant avowed, for that Robert Lade being seised in Fee of the said 14 Acres by In∣denture between him and Nicholas Marsh, in Consideration of One hundred pounds paid unto him by the said Nicholas, granted a Rent of 8 l per Annum, to the said Nicholas and his Heirs out of the Premisses, with power to distrain; and the said Nicholas being seised in Fee of the said Rent, by his Will in Writing devised the said Rent to Richard Marsh, Son of the said Nicho∣las, and his Heirs, and died seised as aforesaid Anno, 1675. And the said Richard Marsh being seised in Fee of the said Rent, by Vertue of the said Devise by Indenture dated the 10 of Aug. 32. Car. 2. nuper Regis, between him the said Richard of the one part, and Nicholas Marsh Son of the said Richard of the other part, which Indenture the Defendant produced in Court, in Considera∣tion of a natural Love to the said Nicholas his Son, and 5 l in Money to be paid Annually to the said Richard during his Life; he did give and grant to the said Nicholass Marsh, his Heirs and Assigns, the said Rent of 8 l per Annum, to the use of the said Nicholas Marsh his Heirs and Assigns. And then the Defendant saith further in this manner, Quae quidem concessio ult' mentionat' nullo attornamento vel alia Executione superinde fact' existen' praeter solam sigillationem & deliberationem inde operavit per viam conventionis praed' Richardi Marsh, stare seisit' ad usus in eadem concessione mentionat' per quod & vigore Statuti fact', &c. de usibus in Posses∣sionem transferen' praed' Nicholaus Marsh fuit & adhuc est seisit' de praed' annuitate octo librarum in Dominico suo ut de feodo; and for 4 l Arrear of the said Rent as Bayliff to the said Nicho∣las Marsh, he makes Conisans, &c.

To this the Plaintiff Demurred.

First, This is a Grant by Richard to Nicholas, and so void without Attornment or Enrollment, and being intended to Enure as a Grant, shall, not work as a Covenant to stand seised.

Secondly, The Defendant hath pleaded it as a Grant; and what he saith after in the Avowry, to set forth how the Deed should work is vain and idle.

As to the first Point, the Court held, this Deed having no Ex∣ecution to make it work as a Grant, it shall operate as a Covenant to stand seised, Mod. Rep. 178. Sanders and Savins Case. A Grant of a Rent to his Kinsman for Life, there being no at∣turnment, it raised an use by way of Covenant; but the pleading the Court held impertinent, for instead of pleading of this Grant according to the effect of it in Law. (viz) As a Covenant to stand seised, He sets forth the matter in Law, and haw it ought to be construed, and because they would not countenance such vain and improper pleading, the Case was adjourned.

Biddulph versus Dashwood.

IN an Action of Debt for 90 l The Plaintiff declared, quod cum recuperasset coram Justiciariis de Banco apud Westm' 90 l {pro} dam' against the Defendant, prout {per} Record & process' quae Dom' Rex & Regina coram eis causa Erroris in eisd' corrigend' Ve∣nire fac' & quae in Cur' dicti Domini Regis & Dom' Reginae in pleno robore & vigore remanent minime revocat' plen' apparet per quod actio accrevit, &c.

To this the Defendant Demurred, supposing that the Iudgment was suspended so far that an Action of Debt could not be brought upon it, pending the Writ of Error: But the Court held, if the Defendant could insist upon this he ought not to have Demurred; but to have pleaded Specially, and demanded Iudgment, if the Plaintiff should be answered pending the Writ of Error. So Iudgment was given for the Plaintiff.
