Quare Impedit.

reason. Anderson, The common is intire, for if H. bath common appendant to three messuages, and enfeoff one of one messuage, another of the second, and [5] another of the third, the common in this case is gone : but all agreed that it is impossible to have a common time out of mind, &c. for a house that is budded within the thirty years.
