Wikes by Enolish Bill in the Exchequer Chamber

wikes by english bill in the exchequer chamber. trin. 7 jac. In the Exchequer Chamber by English bill this case was depending, and argued before all the barons at Serjeants lime in Fleet Street, viz. the King exhibited an information against Wikes for entering into divers parcels of land, and Wikes pretending that he had good equitie prayed his relief by English bill, in the Exchequer Chamber, and the case upon the said bill was this : Graunt made a lease for years to one Somerfield and John Wintor in trust, and for the benefit of the wife and children of the lessor rendring rent, and after Winter one of the lessees, and also Graunt who was the lessor, were attainted of the gunpowder treason, and Wikes married the wife of the leaaor, and entred, and upon this information he prayed relief in behalf of his. wife and children by this English bill: and first it was agreed by all the barons, that the King by the course of the common law had the moitie of the land, and no more by tie attainder of Wintor, and that Somerfield the other lessee, shall be tenant in common with the King, but what remedy he should have if the King took all the profilathey agreed not.
