r 'eritatem de £? fupcr pr&miJJis dicendam: for they may find 
any thing that is out of the record, and are not efiopped 
to find truth in a fpec'ial verdidt. Lat. 570. An efioppel 
fnall bind only the heir, who claims the right of him to 
whom the efioppel was. 8 Rep. 53. Acceptance of rent 
front a diffeifor by the difieifee, may be an efioppel: and 
a widow accepting lefs than lier thirds for dower, is an 
efioppel, &c. 2 Danv. Abr. 130. 
Our books mention three kinds of efioppel, viz. by 
tnatter of record, by matter in writing, and by matter in 
pais. If a feoffment be made to two, and their heirs, and 
the feoffor afterwards levies a fine to them, and the heirs 
of one of them ; this will be an efioppel to the other to 
demand fee-fimple according to the deed ; for the fine 
fiiall enure as a releafe. 6 Rep. 7, 44. Tenant in tail (of¬ 
fers a recovery, that his ifiue may avoid; he himfelf (hall 
be efiopped and concluded by it, and may not demand 
the land againfi his own recovery. T,Rep. 3. 
The taking of a leafe by indenture of a man’s own land, 
whereof he is leifed in fee, is an efioppel to claim the fee 
during the term. Moor , Ca. 323. A leafe is made to one 
man for eighty years, and then to another by deed indented 
for the fame term, this fecond leafe may be good by way 
of efioppel : and if the firft determine by furrender, for¬ 
feiture, &c. the fecond leffee (hail have the land. Co. Rep. 
155. If a lelfor at the time of making the leafe hath 
nothing in the land, but after he gets it by purchafe or 
defeent, it is a good leafe by efioppel. Co. Lit. 47. A re¬ 
cital in a deed (hall not eftop a perfon, unlefs it be of a 
particular fadt, or where it is material ; when it may be 
an efioppel. Cro.Eliz. 362. 
The lord, by deed indented, reciting that his tenant 
holds of him by fuch fervices, whereas he doth not, con¬ 
firms to the tenant, faving the fervices; if is no efioppel 
to the tenant. Plowd. 130. If one make a deed by durefs 
of imprifonment, and when he is at large makes a defea- 
fance to it; he is efiopped to fay it was per durefs. Bro. 
Defeaf. 17. Where the condition of a bond is in the par¬ 
ticularity, as to infeoff J. S. of the manor of D, or to 
pay fuch a fum of money as he ftands bound to pay to 
W. S. or to (land to the fentence of J. S. in a matter of 
tithes in queftion between them ; here the party is efiopped 
to deny any of thefe things, which in the condition he 
did grant : but if a condition be in the generality, to en¬ 
feoff one of all his lands in D. or to be nonfuit in all 
actions, See. it is no efioppel. Dyer, 196. \%Edw. IV. 54.

prifonment. And the ftatute 6 Edw. I. c. 3. applies it

ESTRA'DE,y. [ Fr. fratum, Lat. ] An even or level 
fpace, 
ESTRA'DES (Godfrey count of), marfhal of France, 
■was brought up to arms, and ferved under prince Mau¬ 
rice in Holland, with whom lie acted as agent of the 
French court. In 1661 he was fent to England as ambaf- 
fudor extraordinary, and maintained with great fpirit the 
precedence of his crown before that of Spain. In 1662, 
E. S T 
he went fo Holland in the fame character, and concluded 
the peace of Breda. He was entrufted with the important 
negociation for a general peace at Nimeguen in 1675, and 
acquitted himfelf with'much reputation. He was made 
governor of Dunkirk, Mardyke, and the province of 
Limburg, and viceroy of America. In 1685, he was no¬ 
minated governor to the duke of Chartres ; but foon af¬ 
ter died, in 1686, at the age of feventy-nine. Fie left 
very copious manuferipts of his different negociations, 
amounting to twenty-two voiumes folio, from which an 
abridged colledlion, intitled Letters, Memoirs, and Ne¬ 
gociations, of the Count d’Eftrades, was publifhed in 
1709. An improved edition of this work was publifhed 
at the Hague, in 9 vols. i2tno. 1743.

ESTRA'Y, yi \_cxtrahura, Lat. from the old French 
efrayeurf Any beaft that is not wild, found within a 
jordfliip, whofe owner is not known. In which cafe, if 
it be cried and proclaimed according to law in the church 
and two neareft market-towns on two market-days, and is 
not claimed by the owner within a year and a day, it be¬ 
longs to the king; and now-moft commonly, by grant of 
the crown, to the lord of the liberty. Brit. c. 17. Any 
beafts may be eftrays, that are by nature tame or reclaim- 
able, and in which there is a valuable property, as fheep, 
oxen, fwine, and horfes. Swans may be eftrays, but no 
other fowl, and are to be proclaimed, &c. 1 Rol. Abr. 878. 
If the beaft (tray to another lordftiip within the year, af. 
ter it hath been an eftray, the firft lord cannot re-take it, 
for, until the year and day be paft, and proclamation 
made as aforefaid, he hath no property; and therefore the 
poffeftion of the fecond lord is good againfi him. Finch L. 
177. If the cattle were never proclaimed, the owner 
may take them at any time : and where a beaft is pro¬ 
claimed as the law diredls, if the owner claims it in a 
year and a day, he fiiall have it again; but muft pay the 
lord for keeping. 1 Rol. Abr. 879. 
An owner may feize an -eftray, without telling the 
marks, or proving the property, (which may be done at 
the trial, if contefted,) and tendering amends generally is 
good in this cafe, without fhewing the particular fum ; 
becaufe the owner of the eftray is no wrong-doer, and 
knows not how long it has been in the poffeflion of the 
lord, See. which makes it different from trefpafs, where 
a certain fum muft be tendered. 2 Salk. 686. In cafe of 
an eftray, the lord ought to make a demand of what the 
amends (hould be for the keeping;, and then if the party 
thinks the demand unreafonable, he muft tender fufficient 
1 amends;
