Briefe de Trespas des arbres coupes & biens emportes, fuit auterfoits port vers ii. & a cest temps 67
Process and Pleading
One of two defendants came and justified that the place was his freehold.
Plaintiff replied that an ancestor of a defendant had leased to plaintiff's ancestor and released his possession.
Defendant pleaded 'not his ancestor's deed'.
Witnesses to the deed (lease) were summoned.
The other defendant came and justified as servant of the first defendant.
Defendant pleaded that plaintiff brought a prior writ of Trespass and defendant alleged a lease for life to plaintiff's ancestor.
Plaintiff demanded judgment for defendant's inconsistent pleading, claiming estate through a deed that defendant had denied.
Second defendant objected that he had no challenge of the inquest summoned after only the first defendant appeared.
New process issued against witnesses.
Language Notes (Law French)
Sjt Tremaine pur le defendant; vous n'averes my avantage de vostre nonsuit demesne; La Sir il n'est my merveil; il est reason que nous eyomus nostre challenge a l'enquest due doit passer sur nous
Sjt Skrene pur le plaintiff: Quel fine prist l'issue?; le primer issue ferra fine de tout le besoigne (= business)
'Curia': Non, ne parles plus d'icel. Sjt Skrene: Jeo vous provera clerement, si vous moy voille oyer
Et puis a auter jour en absence de Sjt Skrene, Sjt Tremaine demaunde judgment
Hankford JCP: cest trial ferra fine de tout le plee
Hill JCP: cest affaire un final trial del issue; tout serra trie per un mesme enquest; que serra inconvenient; ambideux enquestes fuere al barre a un foytes
Colepeper JCP: mittomus que il fuit en plee real
Thirning CJCP: Venire facias quoted 'qui nulla affinitate attingunt'; prima facie il ne put estre conus; process vers les tesmoignes 'quod est caput materiae'
Abstract Context
Commentary & Paraphrase
Thirning CJCP: In every Venire facias that will issue, the Sheriff will be apprised between which parties the issue is taken, for otherwise it would be in vain to say in the writ 'qui nulla affinitate attingunt'
Manuscripts Mss Notes Editing Notes Errors
Statham Triall 23 was dated Mich. 9 Hen. 4 (ix for xi), and identified Sjt Skrene as counsel for defendant servant, who prayed another Venire facias; Hankford JCP replied that one Venire facias would make an end of all; Thirning CJCP agreed that the first inquest should be taken first, to be an end of all; and it was adjudged that defendant servant should have another Venire facias; but when Sjt Skrene (for D) prayed process against the witnesses in the deed which was denied by plaintiff, Hankford JCP replied that process was awarded against them on the prayer of the master, and defendant servant was not a party to the deed; Thirning CJCP said they would consider; well debated
Statham Estoppell 27 stated that defendant by Sjt Tremaine (Trom) argued estoppel, that Thirning CJCP said that since the issue was not tried, it would not estop plaintiff, and that the opinion was that defendant should pass over.
