Plaintiff counted according to plaintiff's writ.
Defendant pleaded that the place where (the trespass was supposed) contained 20 acres, of which one was seised and held of the king by knight service, and then died in the king's homage, his issue within age (infant), by force of which the king was possessed of wardship of the body and of the land (of the infant heir) as guardian, that then the king granted the same wardship during the (ward's) infancy to a grantee, rendering annually to the king 23 pounds 13 shillings 4 pence during the infancy, that then the king's grantee granted the same wardship to defendant, and defendant prayed aid of the king.
Plaintiff said that defendant ought not have the aid (of the king).
Defendant argued for grant of the king's aid.
Huse CJKB and Fairfax JKB said that defendant would not have the aid.
By advice of all the Justices, it was awarded that defendant be ousted from the aid. |

John Turpin was an Apprentice (Baker, Readers and Readings, p. 110). John Browne appeared as counsel from 1476 through 1490 as an Apprentice (Baker, Readers and Readings, p. 66). |
R. Sapcote paid to the king 23 pounds 13 shillings 3 pence during the wardship
whether the king's grantee's grantee can have aid of the king
Browne (for P): by our action we do not claim any interest (interesse) in the wardship, and (for defendant) to have aid of the king by force of this grant, where we do not claim anything in the wardship, because this actions purely (mere) an action of Trespass in which one will only recover damages, and also it seems to me by another notion (conceit) that he (defendant) will not have aid, because I put (posito) that the law was that the grantee (committee) would have aid in such an action, that is, R. Sapcotes, as it seems to me he would not in this case, yet it seems to me that the grantee's grantee (le comittee del committee) will not have it, because, as I understand, the grantee's grantee (le committee del committee) is not privy to the king, no more than the king's grantee's servant is (privy to the king), who in no manner will have aid of the king, so (car) there is no privity between the grantee's grantee (le committee del committee) (and the king), so it seems to me that he (defendant) will not have aid
Turpin (for D): certainly, as you say, the grantee's servant will not have aid of the king, because he (servant) does not claim any interest in the wardship, but affirms the right in his master, who is the grantee, but the grantee's grantee (la committee del committee) claims (the wardship) to his own use (a son use demesne), and he is guardian in fact, and he will not be punished for Waste (?) and others (other things), and it has been adjudged in our books (nostre livers, Year Books) that the grantee's grantee will have aid of the king, and not of his grantor, when any action for tenancy be brought against him, as a writ of Dower, or a writ of Wardship, etc. see 4 Edw. 4?, (reporter:) and also 9 Hen. 7; and so it seems to me (that) the grantee's grantee will have aid (of the king) in Dower, as well as here
Huse CJKB: it seems to me that even though the king's grantee's grantee justifies by reason of the infancy (nonage), notwithstanding this he (defendant) will not have aid of the king, and I put a distinction, where (lou) the king will be at prejudice by the recovery, and when (quant) not, and Sir, in this case the plaintiff has not demanded anything except damages for the trespass, by which count the king will not be at prejudice, because he is not at prejudice to his (the king's) title; and as in this case the king is guardian in right, and has an interest, and the heir will be delivered out of the king's hand, yet this does not matter (ne fist matter), because one will not have aid of the king in any case except by recovery in value or by prejudice to (de) his title, as where the king is in the reversion, etc. and so here it is neither the one nor the other, because in place of voucher to recover in value it cannot be in this case , because he demands nothing in his action except damages, etc. and he is not to be in prejudice of his title, because even though in this case the defendant if it be found against the defendant and so he would be estopped, yet this will not estop the king, because he is not a party, so neither for the one cause nor for the other can he have aid, but if part of the wardship was in dispute or in demand by writ of Dower or writ of Wardship or the (writ of) Right of wardship, or any other Praecipe quod reddat, as has been said, which would be in disaffirmance of the possession of the wardship or of right of the wardship, so it was reasonable that aid would be granted, and there by cause the party would have in value, etc. so it seems to me he would not have aid
Fairfax JKB (in agreement): '& jeo ne faire' in no case (will) one have aid of the king in a writ of Trespass of such things that he had from the king's grant to his own use (proper use), as if the king would grant a toll to one in such a vill per cartload (per charette) or per every horse with a bundle (ferdelle) or pack, etc., and then a writ of Trespass is brought against him to take (toll?) from his horse, and he (defendant) justifies the taking by reason of this grant, and even though he would not pay, etc. and the other (plaintiff) said 'of his own wrong, denying (the justification)', etc. if the other (plaintiff) would pray in aid of the king he will not have aid, because it is purely personal, etc. but yet in some case one will have aid of the king in a writ of Trespass, and this is where one is made collector of tithes or of tax, in which case he can distrain, and sell the distrained (goods), and there in a writ of Trespass he will have aid of the king, so not at his own use, and so a distinction
and then by advice of all the Justics it was awarded that he be ousted from the aid,
