And if any woman child, above twelve and under sixteen, consent to a contract of matrimony with any who so takes her way against the will, or unknowing of her father, or, if he be dead, of her mother, having the custody or governance of her, the next of her kin, to whom the inheritance should descend after her decease, shall enjoy all her lands, tenements, &c. she had at the time of such assent, during the life of him who so contracts matrimony with her.

(A) Warranty; by what words it shall be.

A warranty is a covenant real annexed to lands or tenements, whereby a man and his heirs are bound to warrant the same lands, and to render in value, if they are evicted by a former title. Co. L. 365. a. Warranty is express or implied. Co. L. 365. a.

No word in law makes an express warranty, except the word warrantizo. Lit. s. 733.

But a feoffment by the word dedi, implies a warranty to the feoffee and his heirs during the life of the feoffor. Co. L. 384. a.

And before the st. quia emptores terrarum, 18 Ed. 1. 1. if a feoffment was by dedi tenendum of the feoffor and his heirs, the heirs as well as the feoffor himself were bound to warranty in respect of the tenure. Co. L. 384. a.

So in an exchange, the word excambium imports a mutual warranty. Co. L. 384. a.

So, in a partition, it is implied that the one warrants the other. Co. L. 384. a.

So, in homage auncestrel, the lord is bound to warrant his tenant. Co. L. 384. a.

So,

So, if a gift in tail, or lease for life, be by or without deed, rendering rent, the donor or lessor is bound to warranty. Co. L. 384. b.

So, if the heir assign dower, he is bound to warranty. Co. L. 384.b. 2 Rol. 738. 1. 50.

But concessi does not imply a warranty. Co. L. 484. a.

So, dedi, in letters patent of the king, does not import a warranty; for the king is not bound to warranty except by express words. 2 Inst. 269.

So, a grant, cum clausulâ warrantia, these words do not create a warranty. 3 Rol. 739. l. 17.

What words make a covenant express, or in law, vide Covenant, (A 1, &c.)

(B) Who are bound by a warranty.

An express warranty never binds the heir to warranty, unless he be named; as, ego et hæredes mei warrantizabimus, &c. Co. L. 383. b. 384. b.

But an exchange, partition, homage auncestrel, which are warranties in law, bind the heir to warranty. Co. L. 384. a. (a)

So, if a father and his heir apparent join in a warranty, the heir is doubly bound, by his own warranty and as heir to his father. R. Mo. 20.

If two join in a warranty, and the one dies, the heir and the survivor may be vouched. Mo.20.

Or, the survivor alone may be vouched at election. Mo. 20.

(C) To whom a warranty extends.

If a man warrant land without saying to whom, it shall be intended to the feoffee. Co. L. 383. b.

If he warrant to B. without more, this extends only for his life, for default of the words, his heirs. Co. L. 47. a. 384. b.

Though he warrant to B. against him and his heirs. Cro. El. 602. So, if a man warrant, without saying, for him and his heirs, it will be a warranty for his life only. R. Cro. El. 602.

But if a man warrant to B. and his heirs, the warranty extends to the heirs. Vide Co. L. 47. a.

So, dedi extends to the feoffee and his heirs, during the life of the feoffor. Co. L. 384. a.

So, an exchange, partition, homage auncestrel, import a warranty to the party and his heirs. Co. L. 384. a.

So, if there be a feoffment to A. and his heirs, and a warranty to him in forma prædicta, that extends to his heirs. Co. L. 385. b.

So, if a warranty be to A. and his heirs, it shall be general against all persons, though it does not say, against all persons. R. 2 And. 118. So, if a man warrant to B. his heirs and assigns, this extends to all assigns and their assigns toties quoties for ever. Co. L. 384. b.

If to A. and B. et eorum hæredibus et assignatis, it extends to an as

signee of the heir of the survivor, &c. Co. L. 384. b.

So, it extends to an assignee of part of the land. Co. L. 385. a.
So, it extends to an assignee by parol. Co. L. 385. b.

[blocks in formation]

So, if a feoffee makes a gift in tail, or a lease for life, remainder in fee, the donee or lessee may vouch as assignee; for his estate and the remainder make but one estate. Co. L. 385. a.

If there be a feoffment to A. and B., and A. assigns his part, B. might vouch for his moiety. Co. L. 385. a.

If there be a feoffment to three, and one releases to the two others, they may vouch. Co. L. 385. a.

If there be a feoffment to A. who enfeoffs B., who re-enfeoffs the heir of A., he may vouch as assignee. Co. L. 385. b. But generally a warranty does not are named. Co. L. 384. b.

extend to assigns, unless they

If there be a feoffment to A. and B. their heirs and assigns, and one of them assigns, it does not extend to such assignee. Co. L. 385. b.

So, a warranty to one, his heirs and assigns, does not extend to an assignee of part of the estate; as, if the feoffee makes a gift in tail or a lease for life, the donee or lessee is not an assignee, but he may vouch his donor or lessor, and so take advantage of the warranty. Co. L. 385. a.

So, if the donee make a feoffment, the feoffee cannot vouch as assignee, but must vouch his feoffor. Co. L. 385. a.

If there be a feoffment to A. who enfeoffs B., who re-enfeoffs A., he or his heirs cannot vouch; for he cannot be assignee to himself. Co. L. 385. b.

Yet by an exchange, or feoffment with the word dedi, the assignee may rebut, though he cannot vouch. Co. L. 384. b.

So, if there be a feoffment with warranty, without saying, assigns,' yet an assignee, or any tenant of the land, may rebut.

385. a.

to the Co. L.

So, though a disseisor, abator, intruder, &c. cannot vouch or have a warrantia charta, because he has no privity, yet he may rebut. Co. L. 385. a.

So, cestuy que use may rebut, though he comes in the post. R. Sal.

685.

But a man who claims paramount, and not under the warranty, cannot vouch or rebut; as, if a feoffment be to two brothers, with warranty to the eldest and his heirs, who dies without issue; the youngest cannot vouch or rebut, for he does not claim as heir, but by the feoffCo. L. 385. a.

ment.

If there be a gift in tail with warranty to the donee, his heirs and assigns, who makes a feoffment and dies without issue; the feoffee cannot vouch or rebut, for the estate to which the warranty was annexed, is determined. Co. L. 385. a.

When a covenant binds or extends to heirs or assigns, vide Covenant, (B1, &c.—C 1, &c.)

(D) By what conveyance created.

Warranty may be created by any conveyance of lands, tenements, or hereditaments; as, by fine, feoffment, &c. Co. L. 371. a.

By gift in tail, or lease for life. Co. L. 371,

By fine sur grant et render. Carth. 141.

So,
