TO THE READER. HOw profitable it is to observe those Forms which the Law approves, daily Experience doth sufficiently demonstrate; for that hereby all Assurances are rendered plain and manifest to every Capacity, and fortified against all exceptions. But the captious Age wherein we live, that so busily examines and eagerly pursues all advantages and shifts whatsoever, will certainly drive every man to his just Defence, and make this Book as welcome as it is undoubtedly necessary. Here is presented to thy Hand a faithful Collection of Precedents of all sorts, which for the variety will fit every Man's Occasions: and for the clearness will be useful to any Understanding, who may at all times readily find these sound Instructions; If either the distance of his Abode, the haste of his Business; or any other cause do withhold him from further Advice: For those Instruments which are usually drawn in Latin, here you shall find the proper Cases both for the Names of the Persons, their Additions, the Sums of Money, with the Day of the Date, only observing this throughout the Work; if A be bound to B, then is A the Obligor, and B the Obligee; and if A acknowledge a Recognisance to B, then is A the Conusor; and B the Conusee. And in this Fourth Impression, to complete the Design that was intended by this Book, are added the best Precedents of all manner of Concord's, of Fines, and Directions how to sue out a Fine, with many remarkable Observations therein will appear: Also Directions of Writs of Habeas Corpus. Writs of Error, etc. To the inferior Courts in the several Cities, Burroughs, Hundreds, and Bailywicks of England, and the respective Mayors, Bailiffs, and Governors thereof; for default whereof, and error wherein, so many Non-suits do daily happen, and Writs of Error are afterwards brought to the endangering of the whole Cause, and perplexity and vexation of the Client, which all ingenious Practisers as they desire, so here are rightly instructed how to avoid. There is also a Supplement to the Names both of Men and Women, with their several Trades and Employments rendered into Latin; so that nothing is wanting to answer every Occurrence or Emergent Occasion whatsoever of this nature. Hereby it will not be easy to mistake, and cheaper than this no man can purchase greater quiet and security. Farewell, J. H. THE TABLE. A.

OBSERVATIONS Touching the firm making of Covenants, Contracts and Agreements, etc. A Covenant, Contract, Agreement, etc. is the mutual consent of One, Two, or more person or persons by a formal Deed in writing, containing an Agreement of the parties, whereby One or more do Promise and Covenant with another to give or do somewhat in such sort as they have concluded of amongst themselves: and to the firm making thereof, it is to be observed, 1. That the person or persons be of the full age of one and twenty years; for it must be noted, that Infants which are supposed not to understand what is done, can therefore make no Obligation or Covenant, etc. (yet such as be of the age of discretion, that is, Males of the age of fourteen years, and females of twelve years, may in some cases covenant, and be bound, and be liable to perform; As for necessary Food, Apparel, Schooling, etc. and in Marriage also, or as an Executor to another. Vide Dust 〈◊〉 & Stud. I●b. 2. Cap. 27. 2. Though they be of full age, yet they must be compotes mentis; and that at the time of making such Contract, they have not these defects of the Mind (viz.) Madness, Lunacy, Idiocy; nor these defects of the Body, as Dumbness, Deafness, Blindness, especially if they be Natural, for in such case they can in no wise consent. The nature of a Bond, Bill, or Obligation, and Directions for the true making thereof. 1. A Bond, Bill, or Obligation, is a Deed in writing, & the nature thereof is to bind one man to another, or two to more or many (as occasion is) to pay a sum of money, or to give, do, or perform something: whereupon it is defined to be the right of a person, by which he hath another person bound unto him to pay that which he oweth him. Right therefore is the chiefest cause of an Obligation; the Act of man that seals and delivers such Obligation, is only the remote or secondary cause: Now that which is called an Obligation, is the same with that which is commonly and vulgarly called or termed a Bond; and it is also the same with a Bill, only the Lawyers make this difference betwixt them, (viz.) when it is in English it is called a Bill, and when it is in Latin a Bond or Obligation, from the Latin word Obligatio, coming of Obligo to bind; and it may be made either with or without a Penalty: where note, that if an Obligation or Bill be made, whereby the party bound is enjoined to do or perform any thing which is either unlawful or impossible, than such Obligation or Bill is void of itself, and of none effect. 2. In an Obligation, he to whom the Obligation is made, is called the Obligee or Creditor; and he who binds himself or is bound in the Obligation, is called the Obligor or Debtor; and to according to the sundry sorts of Obligations and Contracts, the persons therein mentioned are and must be styled by such significant and legal terms as are appropriate to such Deed, Contract, &c, as Obligor, Obligee, Feoffor, Feoffee, Lestor, Lessee, Grantor, Grantee, Donor and Donee, Vendor, Vendee, etc. 3. For the making of an Obligation there are these things to be regarded: 1 The names of the parties concerned in the said Obligation, both names of Baptism and Surnames, their style, degree or quality, whether Lord, Knight, Esquire, Gentleman, Yeoman, Artificer, etc. 2ly, The Town, place of abode, and County wherein they are at present, or for the most part resident. 3ly, The sum of money due, which is usually double in the Obligation. An Obligation from One to One. NOverint universi per praesentes me A. B. de C. in Com. D. generosum, teneri & firmiter obligari E. F. de G. in Com. H.

FEoffment, Feoffamentum, or rather Feoffamentum, signifieth (dona●●●●em ●eudi) and it signifieth a loving and free Gift or Grant of any Honours, Castles, Manors, Messages, Lands, or other movable things of like nature, to be hereditary to another and his Heirs for ever; and thereof delivereth Livery and Seisin, or Possession of the thing given, or else nothing shall pass by the Grant. And in every Feoffment, the Giver, or he that maketh the Feoffment, is called to Feoffor, Feoffator; and he to whom it is made, Feoffee, Feoffatus. Now because there can be no Feoffment good without Livery and Seisin, I will show you what Livery and Seisin is, and the manner how it is performed. Of Livery and Seisin. LIvery & Seisin is a certain Ceremony in our Law, used in the conveying of Lands, Fenements, or other things corporal, by Feoffment from one man to another, either in Fee-simple, Fee-tail, or for term of Life. It is a Testimonial of that willing departing of him which makes the Livery, from the thing whereof Livery is made. And it was ordained at first, that the Common People might thereby have notice of the alteration and passing, or Estates, that they might surely know in whom the right thereof remained, for their own peace and quietness: Perkias 209, 210 Braci. lib. 2. cap. 18. Sect. 12. The usual manner of Delivery of Seisin of Houses, Lands, Tenements, etc. is thus: The Feoffor and Feoffee (if they be present) or in their absence, their Attorneys (sufficiently Authorized in Writing) do come to the House or Place whereof such Seisin is to be Delivered, and there in the Presence of sundry good Witnesses, declareth the Cause of their meeting there; and then openly reads, or causeth to be read the Deed of Feoffment, (and Letter of Attorney, if by Attorney) or to declare the very effect thereof before them in English; which being so done, the Feoffor or his Attorney taketh a Clot of Earth, or a bough or a Twig of a Tree thereupon growing, the Ring or the Hasp of the Door of an House, and delivers the same with the said Deed unto the Feoffee, or his Attorney, saying, I deliver these unto you in the name of Possession & Seisin of all the Lands, Tenements, etc. contained in this Deed, to have and to hold, according to the form and effect of the same Deed: And if the Feoffment be without Deed (as it may well be) then at the time of Delivery of Seisin, the party must declare by word of mouth before Witnesses, the very State which the Feoffee must have thereby; and then delivereth Seisin and Possession in manner aforesaid; and then the date and manner of Seisin must be Endorsed. Livery and Seisin to be Endorsed on a Deed. MEmorandum, That peaceable and quiet Possession and Seisin of the Lands and Hereditaments within mentioned to be granted, was had and taken by the within-named A. B. the Attorney within-mentioned, and by him was delivered to the within-named M.G. the Bargainee in his own proper person, To hold to him the said M.G. and his Heirs, to the use of him the said M.

C. this Declaration is for Trial of the Plaintiffs Title, etc. verbatim, as on the back of the Declaration. Directions for suing out Fines, and making the Concord's thereof; with several necessary Notes thereupon. IT is called a Fine, Et Finalis concordia, quia imponit sinem litibus. Fines are Instruments of Record, of Agreements concerning Lands or other Hereditaments made most usually upon Writs of Covenant in the Court of Common-Pleas; and are of such force and efficacy in Law, that they are perpetual Barrs to all Parties to the same Fines, and Estrangers, not prosecuting their Right in due time. He who acknowledgeth the Fine, is called the Conusor; and he to whom the Fine is levied, is called the Conusee. If the use of a Fine be not declared before nor after the Fine levied, it shall be intended to the use of the Conutor, and his Heirs. Infants (that is, all persons under the age of one and twenty years) ought to have special care how they levy Fines: for unless they be reversed by the Infants themselves before they come of Age, they are good. If a married Woman under Age levy a Fine of her own Lands, she may not reverse it, unless her Husband die before she come to full age. If a married woman levy a Fine of her Jointure, she will thereby lose both that and her Thirds, if the Jointure were well settled before marriage. It is requisite, that either the Conusor, or the Conusee, be seized of the Land in the Fine at the time of levying thereof, otherwise the Fine is void. Persons Outlawed, or waved in personal Actions, may alien by Fine. To sue out a Fine by Dedimus potestat. to Commissioners in the County, you are first to draw your Praecipe of the Writ of Covenant in Paper, and then write under, your Commissioners Names, four or more, whereof one is to be a Knight, thus: S. ss. Pr. A. B. quod just, etc. teneat C. D. con. etc. de uno Messuagio, uno Horreo, uno Gardino, & decem acris ter. cum pertin. in E. De. po. F. D. Militi H. I. L. M. N. O. P. Q. generosis. Carry this to the Cursitor of the same County, and he will make your Dedimus Potestatem to take the Fine. When you have your Ded. Pot. then make ready your Concord to be fairly engrossed in Parchment; and see that the Land be exactly named, as in the Dedimus: The Forms of which Concord's next follow.

Capt. & Cognit. apud Civitatem Cicestr. in C. S. di. etc. Anno Regni. Dom. Caroli Secundi nune Regis Anghae, etc. 16 coram. And then let the Commissioners subscribe their Names which must be two at least: Then writ on the back of the Commission thus; Executio istius brevis pater in quadam Schedula eidem brevi annexa; And let the Commissioners subscribe their Names there. According to the Tenor of the Writ, the Commissioners should set their Seals to the Concord, which seemeth the best way although it be often omitted at this day. If a married Woman be a Cognlzor, the Commissioners are to examine her privately, whether she be willing to pass the Fine, and do it without Threats or Fear of her husband's displeasure? which if sh● confesseth, the Commissioners ought not to take her Cognisance. If all the Cognisors cannot conveniently come to acknowledge the Fine at the same time, the Commissioners may take the Cognizance of such as are present; and the same Commissioners, or others, may take the Cognizance of the rest at another time, and then write under the Concord thus; Capt. et cognit per supra dictors A. et B. apud C. in Com. S. prime die julis, Anno Regni Dom. C. Secundi Regis Angliae, etc. decimo quinto, coram Whereunto the Commissioners must set their Hands as before; and when the rest have acknowledged, let them, or other Commissioners named in the Dedimus, writ the like for the rest, and let all the Commissioners who have taken the Fine, set their hands to the back of the Bill. Note, That this Dedimus potestatem hath no certain Return, so that if you execute it any time within a year after it is sued our, it will be well enough. Your Fine thus acknowledged, you must File the Dedimus and Concord together, and then carry it to the Curfitor for that County (at the Cursitors Office in chancery Lane, over against, Lincoln-Iun) who will thereupon make your Writ of Covenant, which ought to bear Teste before the Dedimus, because it is supposed by the Dedimus to be then depending? but whether it be returnable before or after Caption of the Fine is not material, though they usually make it returnable after the Caption: Your Writ of Covenant thus made, you are to carry to the Alienation Office, where you are to compound for your Fine, according to the value of the Land, with one of the Commissioners there sitting If all that is passed in your Fine be not worth forty shillings by the year, you must have one to make Affidavit of it before the Doctor there, and then you shall pay no Fine for Composition: Or if you know the value of the Land, or the Purchase money, you are to inform the Commissioners, that they may rate the Fine accordingly. If any Fine of the same Lands hath been passed not long before, you are to show that, whereby you may persuade the Commissioners to tax it somewhat the less, The Fine thus rated, you must go into the Receiver in the same Office, and there pay the Fine of Composition, and six pence over for entering in the Receivers Book, and his signing the Writ. But if the Fine were taken by my Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas, that fix pence is not to be paid to the Receiver. When you have paid the Fine, you carry the Writ to one of the Clerks in the same Office that sits next Mr. Crow, who doth Endorse the Writ, for which you pay four pence; then Mr. Cretr's hand, four pence; to the Clerk that sits next by, who enters it, and hath six pence; But if it be after Term, a shilling, Then get two of the Commissioners Hands to your Writ, for which you may pay nothing. Having thus done at the Alienation Office, you are to carry your Writ again to the Cursitor, who writes under the Writ thus, Pro. dim. marc. solut. pro Fine, or otherwise as the Fine is, and will then get it sealed for you; for which, when you fetch it away, you pay him two shillings six pence, and then he will deliver you your Concord and Dedimus again, which you left with him at the bespeaking your Writ of Covenant. Next you are to make your Warrant of Attorney in Parchment, as followeth, D. ff. A. B. po. lo. suo N. C. Attornat. suum ad prosequend. breve con. versus C. D. & E. uxorem ejus de tenementis cam perin. in E. You are to carry your Warrant of Attorney, together with your Writ of Covenant, to the Clerk of the Warrants, who hath for filling the Warrant and signing the Writ, four pence. Next you are to carry your Writ to the Office, called Ione's Office in Bink Court, Middle-Temple, ho will return your Writ, and enter it, and hath for that, one shilling six pence. Note. For more expedition you may return your Writ yourself, before you carry it to the haft mentioned Office, it is done thùs: Towards the upper end of the back of pleg. de johannes D●●. the Writ. proc. Richardus Roe. Towards the Middle Sum. Johaanes Den. Towards the Middle Sum. Richardus Fenn. Towards the bottom, the A. B. Miles Sheriffs Name Vic. Note, It must be the Sheriff that was in Office when the Writ was Returnable. Having, gone thus far, you are to file your Writ of Covenant; Dedimus and Concord together, and carry them to the Office of Cus●os B●evium, there the Secondary, or his Clerks will ●enter it in his Book, and Endorse the Writ, for which you pay three shillings eight pence; from thence you carry it to the King's Silver-Office in Lincolns-Inne, where the Fine for the value of the Land is entered, for which you pay in Sussex fourteen pence, Surrey ten pence, most of the Western Countries eighteen pence, etc. Hence you are to carry it to the Secondary at the Chirographers Office, who enters it in his Book, and hath for it in Term time five shillings eight pence, after Term six pence more. Then are you to deliver it to such of the Clerks of the same Office, who writ for the County where the Lands lie, who will Engross the Indentures of your Fine; which, when you fetch from him, some convenient time after he will demand of you three shillings six pence, if it be with one Warranty only; otherwise six pence a piece for every Warranty more: How justly these Clerks demand this Fee of three shillings six pence, I know not, formerly they never received more than two shillings six pone. And thus I have led you through the several Officers where your Fines pass: At many of which you shall be enforced to wait long, and often to go and come again two or three days after the Clerks; hoping thereby to extort somewhat out of you for expedition; which, I conceive, non expedit, for you cannot justly demand it of your Client. It is best therefore to begin with your Fines as soon in the term as you can which will save you many po●● Terminus'● Note, You may acknowledge a Fine in open Court, or before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas ou● of Court, or before any other Judge of that Court; or before the Justices of Assize in the Country, as well as by special Dedimus potestatem. And if you can conveniently have it acknowledged any of those ways, it will be less charge to the Client. The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas may, ex ●●ficio, our if Court take the acknowledgements of Fine without any Dedimus, etc. but none other; if therefore you are to acknowledge it before him, you must draw out the Praecipe and Concord fairly in Paper, and let the Cognisors set their Hands to it; then go to my Lord's Chamber, and deliver your Concord to him, who (the Parties being ready) will take their Acknowledgements, for which you pay eleven shillings eight pence; and my Lord himself will keep the Concord thus made in Paper, and you are to go to his Clerk some time after, who will Engross it in Parchment and get my Lord's hand to it, which when you have from him, you are to go on through the several Offices as before. Note, For more expedition, you may Engrossed your concord in Parchment before you go to acknowledge the Fine, and then have my Lord's Hand to it at the some time when you carry your Concord in Paper; which my Lords Clerk will better like, and will be less trouble to you. If you acknowledge a Fine before any other Judge, you must go with your Concord in Payer as before, and then after the Fine acknowledged, you may sue out a general Dedimus potestatem; directed to that Judge that took the Fine; which if you carry to his Clerk, he will Engross the Concord upon the back of the Dedimus, and get the Judge's Hand to it, for which, besides the Judge's Fee, you pay his Clerk sixceen pence, and no more, if be a Fine in several Counties: Thence you are to proceed as before is directed.

The use and Explanation of this TABLE. Years of a Lease. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Years 0 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 0 Months. 1 9 8 5 2 11 7 2 9 4 10 4 10 3 8 1 Dec. Parts. 0 9 1 9 5 0 0 5 6 3 7 6 3 6 5 3 The first Column towards the left hand, sheweth the years of a Lease or Annuity, and right against each year, is the Years, Months, and Decinal parts of A Month's Purchase, that such a Lease or Annuity is worth. Example. Suppose a Lease or Annuity to continue ten years, and you would know how many years Purchase it is worth in present money; look into the Table for ten years of a Lease to the left hand, and against the same, you shall find 7.4.3. which showeth such a Lease to be worth 7 years, a months, and 3 tenth parts of a month's Purchase. Years of a Lease. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 Years. 10 10 11 11 11 12 12 12 12 13 13 13 13 13 13 14 14 Months. 5 9 1 5 9 0 2 6 9 0 2 7 9 11 1 3 Dec. parts. 8 9 3 7 3 5 6 6 4 0 5 1 9 2 0 0 Again, are you to take or buy the Reversion of any Lease of Annuity. WOrk thus; Suppose the Lease to be 30 years in all, you find in the second Table, and right hand against it 13 Years, 9 Months, and a tenth parts of a Months Purchase; this it were worth, were it in present possession: but suppose there be a Lease of five years (more of less) before your commence, look in the Table against the 5 years, and there you sinned 4 years, 2 months, and 5 tenth parts, half a month's purchase; take this out of the sum against thirty, which is 13.9, 2.4, 2.5, the remainder is 9 years, 6 months 7 tenth parts of a month, and so much in the Reversion after 5 years, worth the Remainder of 30 years: this is useful, and very easy
