Whitgift against Sir Francis Barrington

whitgift against sir francis barrinoton. In replevin the defendant avowed aa baliff to Sir Francis Barrington, and tbat Whitgift the plantiff held certaine land of Sir Francis Barrington, by escuage et quendam reditum, and that the said Sir Francis was seised by the hands of Whitgift his very tenant, and for homage he avowed; and upon this the plantiff demurred; first, became he had avowed for homage, and had not shewed how nor in what manner the homage is due, whether in respect that the tenancy come to him by discent, of by purchase, and for that this general allegation is naught, for by Hendon WHICH, 32. TRTN. 20 JAC. C. P. 27 Serjeant all the presidents in such avowryea made mention of the title to the homage, as 4 E. 4, in avowry for homage, the tenure is shewed, and a discetit alleadged, or a purchase of the land, and in no book or in any president that he ever yet saw, did he see such a general allegation in avowry for homage, but he agreeth the book of the 44 E.
