Halseys Case touching Recusancy

hat.seys cake touching recusancy. The case in the Exchequer-chamber touching the payment of the Kinga Majesties debt due for the recusancy of John Halsey, as recusant convict deceased, with the 336 HALSBYS CASE LANE, 10B. lands and goods bought in the name of John Grove, and Richard Cox defendant in this qourt, that John Halsey was indicted and convicted for recusancy the 18 day of July,; anno 23 Eliz. and so remained convicted without submission till his death, who died the last day of March, 3 Jac. and after his conviction, viz. after the 40 year of the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth did purchase with his own money divers leases for years, yet to come of lands in the countie of Worcester, and Warwick, in the flame of KicharB Cocks for himself in trust, and likewise did with his own money purchase certain leases for years, yet to come of lands in the county of Hereford, in the name of the said John Grove, all which purchases were in trust for the recusant, and to his use; Margaret Field is his next heir, who is no recusant, John Halsey hath not paid 201. a moncth since his conviction, nor any part thereof, these lands and leases, were seised into the Kings hands, for the satisfaction of the forfeitures due for the recusancy of the said Halsey, 14 August, 5 Jac. Thomas Coventrie argued for the defendant; the question is, whether these lands which were never in the recusant, but bought in the name of the defendants in manner aforesaid, be liable to the payment of His Majesties debts by the said recusant as above said, or not: there are three paints considerable in the case. First, if lands purchased by the recusant, in the name of others in trust are liable to his debt. Secondly, if the land of a recusant may be seised after his death. Thirdly, if they shall be charged by the statute of 1 Jac. as to the first, it seems they are not, wherein I shall endeavour to prove three things. First, that such land was not liable to debt by [105] the common law. Secondly, that they are not liable to debts by the general words of the statute law. Thirdly, that they are not liable to debt by any word within the statute of primo Jac. as to the first he observed, that here is no fraud put in the case, but that these lands and leases were never in the recusant, so that before that they were conveyed to the defendants, they were not liable to this debt; and I alwayes observed, that which the common law calleth fraud ought to be of such nature as shall be tortious, and prejudicial to a third person, and put him. in a worse estate and condition then he was before, and then he who is so prejudiced in some cases should avoid such conveyances by the common law: 22 Atsises, 72, 43 Ed. .'3, 2, and 32 the defendant in debt after judgement aliens his goods, and he himself takes the profits, yet the plantiffe shall have them in execution; so that if a man binde himself, and his heirs in an obligation, and dies, and assets descend to his heir, who by coviri aliens those assets, yet he shall be charged in debt; for in these cases the plantiffe had a lawful debt, and such lands and goods before the alienation were liable, and that former interest was intended to be defeated by those alienations, and therefore they are void...
