taylor versus shaw. [See S. C. Carter, 22.] Ejectment. The case is this, a tenant in fee of copy-hold lands by custom intails them on himself and the issue of his body, and by custom that is to be barred by seisure of the lord for forfeiture, and not otherwise; the tenant in tail accepts a feoffment of this copyhold from the lord that bath the inheritance, then makes a feotfment of this fand, then levies a fine with proclamation, and suffers a common recovery, and hath a son and dies, the son enters within five years after he comes to age, and leaseth to the plaintiff, and whether his entry be lawful or not, that is the question. Gly Serjeant pro querente. First, upon that that is found here, that a copyholder in tayl according to the custom accepts of a feoffment, whether this shall work any destruction of hi* copy-hold in tail ? I believe not, I Co. 103. As at common law, an acceptance Of another estate doth not work a discontinuance, no more doth this work against the custom, that acceptance must work by estoppel or some such way, and there is none. True, if there were tenant in fee or for life of the copy-hold, if he accepts of any lease of this copy-hold laud, that destroys it; but in our case, it doth not conclude his issue, but the eitate tail is preserved for them by the custom, and though as to him he is concluded, and he cannot say he hath any other [7] estate but what he accepted by the feoffment, yet bis issue shall not be concluded thereby. Vid. Conisbyes case. Secondly, as for the feoffment, whether a copyholder in tail having accepted a feofimenrt doth make a forfeiture? A feoffment, I believe, doth pass away all bis eitate for his time, but as it will not destroy an entail at common law, so neither in this case; and I shall shew anon, that in our case it doth not make a discontinuance nor a bar, for I must prove both. It doth not make a discontinuance, and my reason is, these being common law assurances t|ey do not work upon the assurance of the copy-hold; as Littleton saitb, tbat that doth not work upon the right of the estate tail cannot work a discontinuance. The feoflment works nothing upon the copy-holders interest, but as Littleton saitb, that cannot pass but by surrender. For next the fine; If a man should levy a fine at the common law, this but a feoffment or record; now the same reason holds, for a fine doth no more work upon a copy-hold, than a feoffment doth; indeed a fine may work to the destruction of an estate, where it is not preserved by especial custom, but where its raised and preserved by especial custom aliter; though this be a record of an high nature, yet not working on the interest of the land, it doth not bar nor discontinue. So for the recovery, it is the same, that that is in demand is the free-hold. True if the recovery were in the Lords Court, there the copy-holders interest may be turned to a right: there can be no bar in this case, because of the recovery in value to which warranty is annexed doth not go according to the copy-bold, but according to the free-hold : this being a common law assurance works only a common law interest, and cannst work upon a copy-hold. I cannot deny that copy-hold estates are within the Statute of 4 H. 7, cap. 24, of Fines and Non-claim, 9 Co. Margaret Podgers case. But we are out of it in this case, the time being computed when the infant was born, and his entry, it appears, it was a yiar...
