inquired by what Judgment,
and it be found that it was by
Default, whereuuto the Tenant
*must answer; then it be-
hoveth the Tenant to answer
further, and to shew that lie
had Right, and hath in the fore-
said Land, according to the
Form of the Writ that the Ten-
ant before purchased against
the Husband. (4) And if he
can shew that the Husband of
such Wife had no Right in
the Lands, nor any other but
lie that holdeth them, the
Tenant shall go quit, and Die
Wife shall recover nothing of
her Dower; which thing if lie
cannot shew, the Wife shall
recover her Dower. (,") > And
so in these Cases, and in cer-
tain other following, that is to
say, when the Wife being en-
dowed Joseth her Dower by
Default, and Tenants in free
Marriage, by the Law of England (. or for Term of Life, or
in Fee-tail, divers Actions do
concur for such Tenants, when
they must demand their Land
lost by Default: (6) And
when it is come to that point,
that the Tenants must lie
compelled to shew their Right.
they cannot make answer
without them to whom the
Reversion of right belongeth;
therefore it is granted unto
them to vouch to Warranty,
as if they were Tenants, if
they have a Warranty. (7)
