354 12 H. 7, CAP. 5, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Walthew supra, and see the Lincoln College case, 3 Rep. 59 b., 60 a. b.,
from which it appears, that, by analogy to the construction of other
Statutes, the widow's discontinuance is not immediately void, but continues
until defeated by entry of the person to whom the inheritance would belong
if the widow were dead. As against the parties themselves, and all others
the alienations continue in force. It was determined in Kirkman v.
Thompson, Cro. Jac. 474, that alienation by fine of husband and wife of
lands settled upon the wife in tail by the husband was not a forfeiture,
for the husband who made the jointure concurred in the alienation. The
Statute, too, excepts such recoveries or discontinuances as are suffered or
made with the heir next inheritable to the widow, or where the party, who
next after her death has the inheritance, assents of record to her acts.

ure should be used throughout this his Realm, in avoiding of all
Fraud and Discord in that behalf, it was at the last Parliament,
holden the xiv. Day of October in the xj. Year of our said
Sovereign Lord's Reign, ordained, That the said Measures and
Weights should be delivered to the Knights and Citizens of
every Shire and City assembled in the same Parliament, Ba-
rons of the Five Ports, and certain Burgesses of Borough
Towns, surely by them to be conveyed to certain Cities, Bor-
oughs, and Towns specified in a Schedule unto the same Act an-
nexed, there to remain for ever, to the intent in the same Act
more largely declared: (3) Which Weights and Measures, upon
