Acr The massage OF the English statute, qua Emptores
in rho year no services could be reserved to the


ranor but to the chief lord the land and the gantor
barring with his lee is by the operation o the statute
without reycrsion and without reyersion there can

can not be demise; and without demise there couio
not be n distress IA Common Law.


Hence the right of distress exists IN the STATE OF

No fealty was due services were due by the gran

Therefore right OF distress does not exist IN THIS

exist.


Certainly not on contracts in existence before the pas

The right distress for rent i'll England by the

maindcr in fee, makes lease for life, the re-
mainder in ee and by tie same ddenture reserves
to himself and h ers certain rent and that the rent
be behind shall he lawful for him and his heirs to dis
train this IS rent charge because such lands or tcne
ncnts charged with such distress by force OF the
writing only and not of common right or by the COM
mon law. And il such man. with deed indepted,
to him and to his heirs, certain rent without any
such clause put in the deed that he may distrain then
such rent is rentseck for he cannot dstfan Tor the
rent and no distress is incident to rent.scck.


fee farin could have been once granted out OF
estate ia fee the granter reserving to himself per-
petua but since the Statute quia Emptores the
granting OF fee farm rents became imPractcabc because
the erantor parting with his fee is hout any rever
sion and without reverson there cannot be any right
of distress for there is rent serviceCo. Lit l44.


Now, without reversion common law, the tenant
holds his lands in ec and being ailoda by our law
held ilnme iately from the sovereignty Of the State

Aperson holding rent charge rent-seck could
not distran al common law, and not landlords and
when the Revised Statutes authorise such persons

character Of landlords.
