Persons of a corporation charged as private persons, answered upon oath. Warr' contra Societatem Feltmakers, in 20 or 21 Jac. [1622-24]. Gowen contra Taylor, 38 & 39 Eliz.

Butt contra, Ward, the defendant enforced to answer without his wife, 28 Eliz. [1585-86]. Elizabeth Brereton contra Hart, Mich. 1587, the like. Kirkham contra Saunderson.

And therefore he was ordered to answer what he had, and to bring them to be viewed to whom they belonged, Pasche 37 Eliz. [1595]. A man's own acts must be answered directly upon oath, in the affirmative or negative, without traverse, as Master Justice Beamont held in the case of Williams and Leighton, 38 Eliz. [1595-96]. Stauden contra Bullock, the defendant forced to set down to whom he assigned his lease, because otherwise the lessor would have no action of waste ; and to set down the names of the persons whom he had caused to fell trees, whereby the lessor might have his action against them, 38 & 39 Eliz. [1596]...
