 Ch. 20. provide againt, all the conequences of innovations! This omiion has given rie to

14. pecics of conveyance, viz. by leae and releae; firt invented by erjeant Moore, oon after the tatute of ues, and now the mot common of any, and therefore not to be haken; though very great lawyers (as, particularly, Mr Noy) have formerly doubted it's validity. It is thus contrived. A leae, or rather bargain and ale, upon ome pecuniary conideration, for one year, is made by the tenant of the freehold to the leee or bargainee. Now this, without any enrollment, makes the bargainor tand eied to the ue of the bargainee, and vets in the bargainee the ue of the term for a year; and then the tatute immediately annexes the poeion. He therefore, being thus in poeion, is capable of receiving a releae of the freehold and reverion; which, we have een before, mut be made to a tenant in poeion: and accordingly, the next day, a releae is granted to him. This is held to upply the place of livery of eiin; and o a conveyance by leae and releae is aid to amount to a feoffment.

15. thee may be added deeds to lead or declare the ues of other more direct conveyances, as feoffments, fines, and recoveries; of which we hall peak in the next chapter: and,

16. of revocation of ues; hinted at in a former page, and founded in a previous power, reerved at the raiing of the ues , to revoke uch as were then declared; and to appoint others in their tead, which is incident to the power of revocation. And this may uffice for a pecimen of conveyances founded upon the tatute of ues; and will finih our obervations upon uch deeds as erve to transfer real property. Rh
