THE 



CASE OF REVOCATION OF USES 



IN THE KING S BENCH. 



The Case shortly put t without names or dates more than of 

 necessity, is this. 



SIR John Stanhope conveys the manor of Burrough-ash to 

 his lady for part of her jointure, and intending, as is mani 

 fest, not to restrain himself, nor his son, from disposing 

 some proportion of that land according to their occasions, 

 so as my lady were at no loss by the exchange, inserteth 

 into the conveyance a power of revocation and alteration in 

 this manner ; provided that it shall be lawful for himself 

 and his son successively to alter and make void the uses, 

 and to limit and appoint new uses, so it exceed not the 

 value of twenty pounds, to be computed after the rents then 

 answered : and that immediately after such declaration, or 

 making void, the feoffees shall stand seised to such new 

 uses ; ita quod, he or his son, within six months after such 

 declaration, or making void shall assure, within the same 

 town, tantum terrarum et tenementorum, et simiiis valoris, 

 as were so revoked, to the uses expressed in the first con 

 veyance. 



Sir John Stanhope, his son, revokes the land in Bur- 

 rough-ash, and other parcels not exceeding the value of 

 twenty pounds, and within six months assures to rny lady 

 and to the former uses Burton-joice and other lands ; and 

 the jury have found that the lands revoked contain twice 

 so much in number of acres, and twice so much in yearly 

 value, as the new lands, but yet that the new lands are 

 rented at twenty-one pounds, and find the lands of Bur- 

 rough-ash now out of lease formerly made : and that no 

 notice of this new assurance was given before the eject 

 ment, but only that Sir John Stanhope had, by word, told 

 his mother that such an assurance was made, not showing 

 or delivering the deed.
