enter, but the lord. 2 Danv. 198. A copyholder'com¬ 
mitting wafte voluntary, or penniiTiye, this is a forfeiture; 
voluntary, as if he pull down any houfe, though built 
byhimfelf; lop trees, and fell them, plough up mea¬ 
dow, whereby the ground is made worfe, See. Permil- 
iiv.e, if he fuifer tire roof of the houfe to let in rain, or 
the houle to fall ; or if lie permit his meadow ground to 
be furrounded with water, fo thatjt becomes marlhy, 
or his arable land to be thus furrounded and become un¬ 
profitable; thefe and the like are forfeitures. 2 Danv. 
Abr. 192. 1 Nclf.Abr. 509. 
If a feme copyholder for life takes hufband, who com¬ 
mits wafte and dies, the eftate of the feme is forfeited ; 
though not if a ftranger commit the wafte, without the 
aflent of the hufband. 4 Rep. 37. Moft forfeitures are 
caufed by aits contrary to the tenure ; but a fucceeding 
lord of a manor, jfhall not have.any advantage of a for¬ 
feiture, by wafte done by a copyholder in the time of his 
predecefibr. 2 Sicl. 8. And if a prefent lord doth any 
thing whereby he ackno\Vledges the perfon to be his te¬ 
nant after forfeiture, this acknowledgment is a confirma¬ 
tion of his eftate. Coke's Cop. 6 1. 
The court of chancery will fometimes relieve againft a 
forfeiture for wafte, and compel the lord to re-admit, on 
receiving fatisfaftion for the injury he has fuftaindd. Such 
relief is particularly given where the wafte is committed 
through ignorance ; or where the wafte is merely permif- 
five, and there has not been an obflinate perfeverance, 
in neglecting to repair after notice. Another inftance in 
which relief againft forfeiture for wafte is faid to be 
proper, is where tire leffee of a copyholder cSmmits wafte' 
without his direction or privity. Toth. 237. Aifo,when the 
eftate is forfeited for non-payment of rent, a fine, or fuch 
things, where a value may be fet on them, and compen- 
fation made the lord on any laches of time, the tenant 
may be relieved; for there the land is but in nature of a 
.fecurity for thofe funis. Prcced. Chan. 569. In cafe of 
making a leafe for years, without licence, and not war¬ 
ranted by cuftom, found to be a forfeiture at law, equity 
„has nothing to do with it, to give any remedy; it is like 
a feoffment made, or fine leaded by particular tenants, 
againft which there can be no relief. Ibid. 574. Where 
copyhold lands are purchafed in fee, in trull: for an alien, 
the lands are not ieizabie by the king, nor is the trull 
forfeited to him ; for if the lands were forfeited as pur¬ 
chafed for fuch alien, then the lord of the'manor would 
lofe his fines and fervices. Hard. 436. By 10 Geo. II. 
c. 26. copyhold eftates of poor prifoners may be afligned 
to creditors, and the aflignees admitted by the lord, on 
paying the yfual fine due on a furrender. The ftatute 
5 Geo. III. c. 46. compels the fteward to receive the 
ftamp duty on admifficn, &c. at the.fame time he receives 
the fees of court. 
CO'PYHOLDER, J. One that is pofTeffed of land in 
copyhold. 
CO'QUKS (Gonzalo), an efteemed painter of por¬ 
traits and converfations, born at Antwerp in 1618, and a 
dilciple of the old David Ryckaert, under whofe direc¬ 
tion he applied himfelf diligently to cultivate thofe pro! 
mifing talents which he poilelfed, not only by practifing 
the beft rules of his inftruCtor, but alfo by ftudying na¬ 
ture with lingular attention. He was a great admirer 
of Vandyck; and, fixing on the manner of that artift 
as his model, had the happinefs of fo far fucceeding, 
that, next to him, he was efteemed equal to any other 
painter of his time. In the fchool of Ryckaert, he had 
been accuftomed to paint converfations, and he frequently 
compofed fubjeCts of fancy, like Teniers,. Oftade, and his 
mailer; and by that habit he introduced a very agree¬ 
able ftile of portrait-painting in a kind of hiftorical con¬ 
verfations, which feemed much more acceptable to per- 
fons of tafte than the general manner of painting por¬ 
traits, and procured him great reputation and riches. In 
that way he compofed feveral fine pictures for Charles I. 
and likewife for the archduke Leopold, and the prince

of Orange ; the latter of whom presented Coques with a 
gold chain and a gold medal. He died in 1684. He held 
an excellent pencil ; his portraits were well defigned, in 
eafy natural attitudes ; and His figures were void of con- 
fufion and embarraftment ; he gave an extraordinary 
clearnefs of colour to his heads and hands ; and his flroke 
was free, firm, and broad. 
COQITE'I ',f. An amorous courtier ; one who, by af¬ 
fected carriage and tattle, endeavours to gain the love of 
women. 
To COQJJET', v. a. To entertain with compliments 
and amorous tattle ; to treat with an appearance of amo¬ 
rous tendernefs.—You are coquetting a maid of honour, 
my lord looking on to fee how the gamefters play, and I 
railing at you both. Swift. 
To COQUET', v. 71. To a& the lover; to entice by 
blandifhments : 
Phyllis, who but a month ago 
Was married to the Tunbridge beau, 
I faw coquetting t’other night, 
In public, with that odious knight. Swift. 
To play the coquet, to delude a young man by encourag¬ 
ing his attentions for the pleafure of exhibiting him as a 
conqueft, and for the purpofe of exciting the afliduities 
of another perfon, or from any motive except the im- 
pulfe of mutual regard, is a proceeding too plainly re¬ 
pugnant to juftice, and to delicacy of feiitiment, ever to 
be encouraged. On fuch views even inadvertence is 
highly culpable. Wiiat, then, is the guilt of her, who 
deliberately raifes hopes which file is previouily refolved 
hot to fulfil ! Gijborne.

which runs into the lea, feven miles fouth-eaft. of Aln¬ 
wick. 
CO'QUET, a fmall illand of England, in the German 
OcCan, about a mile in circumference, near the coaft of 
Northumberland. It was taken by the Scots in the reign

GOQUET'RY, /. [coquetcrie, Fr.] Aftedtation of amo¬ 
rous advances ; defire of attracting notice.—I was often 
in company with a couple of charming women, who had 
all the wit and beauty one could defire in female com¬ 
panions, without a dafh of coquetry, that from time to 
time gave me a great many agreeable torments. Addifon. 
COQUET'TE, /I [coquette K Fr. from coquart, a prat¬ 
tler.] A gay, airy girl; a girl who endeavours to attract 
notice.—A coquette and a tinder-box are fparkled. Arbuth . 
The light coquettes in fylphs aloft repair, 
And fport and flutter in the fields of air. Pope. 
A coquette is a chafte jilt, and differs only from a common 
one, as a foldier, who is not perfect in exercile, does from 
one that is actually in fervice. Addifon. 
COQUIM'BO, a town of St. Jago, or Chili Proper, 
in South America, fituated at the lower end of tire vale, 
bearing the fame name, on a gently riling ground. The 
river of Coquimbo gives name to-the agreeable valley 
and jurisdiction through which it rolls to the fea ; and 
the bay at its mouth is a very fine one, where (hips lie 
lately and commodioufly, though, the coaft is rocky, lome 
Elands lying fo as to keep off the winds. The town is 
•properly called La Serena, from the agreeablenefs of the 
climate ; being continually ferene and pfeafant. The 
ftreets are well laid out, and there are five or fix con¬ 
vents ; but the houfes are not handfome. The foil is. 
fruitful in corn, wine, and oil ; and tire brooks bring 
down quantities of gold duft after heavy rains. Here 
are no gold-mines, but plenty of copper; one of which, 
five leagues north from the city on Mount Cerro Verde; 
or Green Hill, is high, .and fhaped like a fugar-loaf; lb 
that it may ferve as a land-mark to the port. It lies 26.0 
miles north of St. Jago, and juflly boafts of one of the ' 
fineft fituations in the world ; but the arbitrary govern¬ 
ment of Spain renders it a place of little importance. It
