Brief de Entry en nature d' Assise fuit porte envers un home per un Abbe. Et le tenant dit, que la terre ou 14
Process and Pleading
Tenant (defendant) pleaded that the land from which demandant (plaintiff) supposed that the rent issued was 'out of his fee and his lordship'.
Demandant (plaintiff) replied that demandant abbot and his predecessors had been seised from time immemorial of 20 shillings of rent issuing out of the land by the hand of tenant and those whose estate he had, and used to distrain for arrears on the same land, and that demandant came onto the land and demanded the rent, that tenant denied the demand, and that tenant disseised demandant (?).
Tenant (defendant) rejoined that demandant and his predecessors had not been seised of the rent from time immemorial and had not used to distrain from time immemorial.
Demandant (plaintiff) rejoined that tenant ought to have traversed the prescription of the distraint, because demandant had a title of disseisin by reason of a denial.
Moyle JCP said that tenant could traverse the prescription of the seisin without more.
Tenant (defendant) said that he could not say otherwise, and told demandant to demur if he wanted.
Moyle JCP told demandant that tenant's plea was sufficient, so demandant should advise himself.
Demandant (plaintiff) said that he could not demur.
Language Notes (Law French)
Sjt Littleton (for P): Sir, jeo ne purroiz demurre, pur ceo que le cas n' est autre mes que il ad traverser une chose que est bone, & autre chose que est voide, &c.
Abstract Context
Commentary & Paraphrase
Sjt Littleton (for P): Sir, I cannot demur, because the case is nothing other than that he (tenant) has traversed one thing that is good and another thing that is void
