Process and Pleading
(Previously, two tenants (defendants) defaulted and the other two tenants appeared..
Grand cape issued agains the two tenants who defaulted.
The two tenants who appeared had Idem dies.)
The two tenants who had previously appeared now appeared again and pleaded that they held jointly with a stranger not named in the writ, denying that the other two tenants who had previously defaulted had anything (in the land in demand).
Demandant (plaintiff) replied that all four tenants (defendants) named in the writ held (the land in demand) in joint tenancy as the writ supposed.
Danby JCP told demandant to deny that the other stranger held anything (in the land).
Moyle JCP and Prysot CJCP argued that demandant need not deny this.
Prysot CJCP said that the writ would not abate.

Abstract Context
Commentary & Paraphrase
distinction between joint tenancy and tenancy in common (?)
see 18 Hen. 6 (probably 1440.051 = Mich. 19 Hen. 6, pl. 33, fol. 12b-14b), it was said that it was held by Newton CJCP1439-1448 that if a tenant plead joint tenancy with a stranger, denying that the other who is named (in the writ) had anything, etc. and the other plead such a plea, or nontenure, or any other such plea that goes to the writ, in this case it is sufficient (assez) for the demandant to maintain his writ and he need not (ne besongne) to traverse to say 'denying that the stranger had anything', because the tenant who pleaded joint tenancy alleged a denial (Sans ceo), etc. and it is sufficient for the demandant to answer to this, etc., as above
but see Pasch. 9 Hen. 6, fol. 1 (1431.026 = Pasch. 9 Hen. 6, pl. 4, fol. 1b-2a), in Praecipe quod reddat against two and one pleaded nontenure, and the other pleaded joint tenancy with one A., denying that he who pleaded nontenture had anything; Sjt Newton (Sjt1425-1439): to this we say that those two alone are tenants as the writ supposes, denying that A. ever had anything, etc., this issue was taken by the court an admitted, and entered by Brown, Clerk of CP
query, and see the distinction by Prysot CJCP
