32 H. 8, CAP. 28, LEASES. 425
CAP. XXVIII.
Lessees to enjoy the Farm against the Tenants in Tail.
Where great number of the King's Subjects have heretofore
taken Leases of Lands, Tenements, and other Hereditaments,
for term of Years, and divers of them for term of Lives, and
have given and paid great Fines and great Sums for the same,
and also have been at great Costs and Charges, as well in and
about great Reparations and Buildings upon their said Forms,
as otherwise concerning their said Forms; (21 yet notwith-
standing the said Formers, after the Deaths or Resignations
of their Lessors, have been, and be daily with great Cruelty
expulsed, and put out of their said Ferms and Takings, by the
Heirs or Successors of their said Lessors, or by such persons as
have Interest therein after the Deaths or Resignations of their
said Lessors, by reason of privy Gifts of Intail, or for that
* the Lessors had nothing in the Lands, Tenements, or 322
other Hereditaments so letten, at any time of the Leases there-
of made, but only in the Right of their Wives, or such other
like cause, to the great Impoverishment, and in manner utter
undoing of the said Fermors; (3) For Reformation whereof,
be it ordained, established, and enacted by the King our Sov-
ereign Lord, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Com-
mons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by Authority
of the same, That all Leases hereafter to be made of any
Manors, Lands, Tenements, or other Hereditaments by Writ-
ing indented under Seal for term of Years, or for term of Life,
by any person or persons being of full Age of twenty one
Years, having any Estate of Inheritance either in Fee-simple
or in Fee-tail, in their own Right, or in the Right of their
Wives, or jointly with their Wives, of an Estate of Inheritance
made before the Coverture or after, shall be good and effectual
in the Law against the Lessors, their Wives, Heirs and every
of them, according to such Estate as is comprised ami specified
in every such Indenture of Lease, in like manner and form as
the same should have been, if the Lessors thereof, and every
of them, at the time of the making of such Leases, had been
lawfully seised of the same Lands, Tenements, and Heredita-
ments comprised in such Indenture, of a good, perfect, and
pure Estate of Fee-simple thereof to their own only uses.
