of right, &c. fues to prohibit the tenant from making 
ivafte, during the fuit; the other is for the demandant, 
•who is adjudged to recover feifin of the land in queftion, 
after judgment and before execution fued by the writ of 
habere facias pojftjjionem , to prevent wade being made till 
he gets into pofl'eftion. Reg. Orig. 761. 
In fuing out thefe two writs, this difference was for¬ 
merly obferved : that in actions merely proffefibry, where 
no damages are recovered, a writ of eftrepement might 
be had at any time pendente litc, nay, even at the time of 
filing out the original writ or firft procefs ; but in an ac¬ 
tion where damages Were recovered, the demandant could 
only have a writ of effrepement, if he was apprehenfive of 
wafte, after verdict had ; for with regard to wafte done 
before the verdidt was given, it was prefumed the jury 
would confider that in affefiing the damages. But now it 
feems to be held by an equitable conftrudtion of the ftatute 
of Gloucester, ( and in advancement of the remedy, that a 
writ of effrepement to prevent wafte, may be had in every 
ltage, as well of fuch actions wherein damages are reco¬ 
vered, as of tliofe wherein only poffeffion is had of the 
lands; for perhaps the tenant may not be able to fatisfy 
the demandant his full damages. And therefore now in 
an adlion of wafte itfelf to recover the place wafted, and 
alfo damages, a writ of effrepement will lie as well before 
as after judgment. For the plaintiff cannot recover da¬ 
mages for more wafte than is contained in his original 
complaint: neither is he at liberty to affign or give in 
evidence any wafte made after fuing out the writ: it is 
therefore reafonable that he fhould have this writ of pre¬ 
ventive juftice, lince he is in his prefent fuit debarred of 
any further remedy. ^Rep.n^.
