READING ON THE STATUTE OF USES. 329 



mention of a use, but it saith colore donationis, termini, vel 

 alicujus tituli, reciting there three forms of conveyances, 

 the gift, the long lease, and feigned recovery; which gift 

 cannot be understood of a gift to a stranger to their use, for 

 that same to be holpen by 15 R. II. long after. 15 R. 2. c. 5. 



But to proceed, in 50 E. III. a statute was made for the 50 E. 3. c. 6. 

 relief of creditors against such as made covinous gifts of 

 their lands and goods, and conveyed their bodies into sanc 

 tuaries, there living high upon other men s goods; and 

 therefore that statute made their lands and goods liable to 

 their creditors executions in that particular case, if they 

 took the profits. 



In 1 R. II. c. 9, a statute was made for relief of those 

 as had right of action, against such as had removed the 

 tenancy of the pr&cipe from them sometimes by infeoffing 

 great persons, for maintenance; and sometimes by feofi- 

 ments to other persons, whereof the defendants could have 

 no notice ; and therefore the statute maketh the recovery 

 good in all actions against the first feoffors, so as they took 

 the profits, and so as the defendants bring their actions 

 within a year of their expulsions. In 2 R. II. cap. 3, an 

 imperfection in the statute of 50 E. III. was holpen ; for 

 whereas the statute took no place, but where the defendant 

 appeared, and so was frustrated, the statute giveth upon 

 proclamation made at the gate of the place privileged, that 

 the land should be liable without appearance. 



In 7 R. II. cap. 12, a statute was made for the restraint 

 of aliens, to take any benefices, or dignities ecclesiastical, 

 or farms, or administration of them, without the king s 

 special license, upon pain of the statute of provisors ; which 

 being remedied by a former statute, where the alien took it to 

 his own use ; it is by that statute remedied, where the alien 

 took it to the use of another, as it is printed in the book ; 

 though I guess that if the record were searched, it should 

 be, if any other purchased it to the use of an alien, and that 

 the words, &quot; or to the use of another,&quot; should be, &quot; or any 

 other to his use.&quot; In 15 R. II. cap. 5, a statute was made 

 for the relief of lords against mortmain, were feoffments 

 were made to the use of corporations; and an ordinance 

 made that for feoffments past the feoffees should, before a 

 day, either purchase license to amortise them, or alien them 

 to some other use, and for feoffments to come, or they 

 should be within the statute of mortmain. In 4 H. VIII. 

 cap. 7, the statute of 1 R. II. 5 is enlarged in the limitation 

 of time ; whereas that statute did limit the action to be 

 brought within the year of the fcoffment, this statute in
