Abstract Context
Commentary & Paraphrase
Due process: An inquest of office before the Escheator seized certain lands and tenements into the king's hands because of treason committed against the king, but no indictment of treason had been taken, so Gascoigne CJKB said that even though the Escheator had seized the lands by his office, the party who was ousted need not sue by petition to the king, because he has forfeited nothing until he be attaint by course of law.
