In ejectment a special verdict was found, upon which the case was, tenant in tail in reversion after a lease for years, remainder to tenant in tail in fee, made a lease to commence at a day to come, and died before the day, having issue; after the death of 18ALKELD, 339.

Tenant in tail, remainder to the King; tenant in tail makes a lease for years, and is attainted, the King shall avoid the lease ; for the estate-tail is as much gone by merger, as if tenant in tail was dead without issue. If there be tenant for life, reversion to A. in fee, and A. makes a lease for years, and then tenant for life and he in reversion join in a fine, the lease shall take effect presently; not but that the estates passed severally, according to Bredom's case; but they are now consolidated; or else, if the couusee should die during the life of the conusor, there would be an occupant.
