Anne Summers case in Dower.

A Writ of Dower was brought by Anne Summers against the Tenant of the land, and he pleaded a fine with proclamations levyed by her husband, 14. Iac. in which year the husband died, and the wife had not claimed within the Sta∣tute of the 4. H. 7. cap. 24. the demandant replied, that 15. Iac. she brought a writ of Dower against the now Tenants, and against two others, and that the writ abated by the death of the two others, and that she brought a writ by Iourneys accompts, the Tenant replied, that the others were not Tenants, but one Sir Iohn Web, and it was moved that this rejoynder was evil, for they confessed that they themselves are Tenants, by which the writ is good against them at the least; Hobert, if she brought a writ of Dower against one who is not Tenant, that is not any claim within the Statute; but if she brought a Dower against 4. who are Tenants, and two die; and she bring a writ against the others by Iour∣neys accompts, this is a good claim within the Statute, though the second writ was after the time limitted, but quere here if the two who died, were not Tenants.
