Seised in fee of an Acre in D. by Charter, and of a∣nother by copy, and make a Feoffment and Livery in the Acre by Charter in name of them both, it is no forfeiture of the Acre by copy, but if he make Livery in the Acre by copy in name of both, the Acre by Charter passes and it is forfeiture of the Acre by copy.

If a copy-holder suffer a common recovery against him at the common Law, and after surrenders to the use of a∣nother which is admitted, and after one or two admittances passe upon surrender, yet after when the Lords takes no∣tice of the forfeiture, he may well seise it, for that forfei∣ture, for that, that the copy-hold was destroyed by the forfeiture.

If a copy-holder levy a Fine, and five yeares passe af∣ter Proclamation, this seems, barres the copy-holder and his Heires, but it seems doth not barr the Lord, but if a copy-holder make a Feoffment and Livery of his copy∣hold, and after levy a Fine, and six yeares passe, now the Lord is barred.

If two Joynt Tenants by copy are, and one makes wast in all the Land, yet he shall forfeit but one part.
