button versus WRIGHTMAN in a ejection strong between John button plaintiff and  Etbeldred Wrightman widow and other defendant for a house and certain land in  harrow the case upon a special verdict be this the dean and chapter of  christchurch in Oxford be incorporate by king h by his letter patent date  novemb h by the name of the dean and chapter of the Cathidral church of Christ  c Oxford of the foundation of king Henry the that and so to be call for ever  after which the say dean and chapter be seize in their demesne as of fee of  the say house and land and so bein g seize by the name of the dean and chapter  church cathedralis Christ in accademia oxon ex fundatione Reg h feoff Edward  late Lord north thereof by their deed bear date the saint day of April I e who  afterward die and the now Lord north enter and do let it to the plaintiff who  be oust by the defendant claim the say house by a lease make by the say lean  and chapter in the time of queen Elizabeth for diverse year vet to come and  whether his entry be lawful or not be the question and all depend upon the  mis13aming of the corporation but it be find that the city of Oxford and the  university of Oxford be all one and that the town of Oxford be make a city by  the charter of king h and by fennor the feoff make to Edward Lord north for  the misnaming of the corporation be void for be say that accademia villan de  Oxford be diverse in name and diverse in nature for the university be to the  scholar and learned man there and the town for the inhabitant and the name of  a place be a principal thing in a corporation which in a new corporation ought  to be precise accord to the very letter of the charter thereof and therefore  in the case of Chester it be agree that cestria be omit the charter for the  dean and chapter there have be void but by Popham Gawdey and Clench this be  not such a misnaming as to the place which shall make the feoff void for  suppose it have be dean capital crime Ecclesia cathedralis Christ in community  oxon it have be good for oxon Civilas oxon be one and the same so it be if a  hospital to be erect by the name of the hospital of S John in S clement and  they make a grant by the name of the hospital of S John in the parish of S  clement it be good for it appear to be the same and here if a man will say  that it shall go to the university of Oxford this every one conceive to be the  town of Oxford and so of Cambridge and therefore in h it be agree to be a good  addition for the place in a action personal against such a one chancellor of  the university of Oxford and so it be against I rector of the parish church of  dale without any other addition for the place yet the statute be that it ought  to be name of what town hamlet or place the party be and by Popham the place  in a corporation may well be resemble to the surname of a man and as a grant  make by any person Christian name as John Thomas c be not good so in a  corporation it be not good to say dean and chapter Popham er p mayor and  commonalty and the like Popham without say of what place and ancient man take  most common their surname from their place of habitation especial man of  estate and artizaris often take their name from their art but yet the law be  not so precise in the case of surname and therefore a grant make by or to John  son and heir of I c or son younger man I S be good but for the Christian name  this always ought to be perfect so in the case of a corporation it suffice to  have a sufficient demonstration of the place where the corporation be albeit  it be not by the precise word comprise in the charter as in name accademia  oxon pro villan ox and it be common of which I have see diverse charter where  a town be incorporate by the name of mayor and commonalty of such a town as  Bristol Exeter and other which afterward have be make city and yet charter  make to they and grant make by they by the name of mayor and commonalty of the  city be good but more preciseness be use in the body of the name of a  corporation before the place to which they be annex and yet in they that which  be but a ornament to the name comprehend in the charter shall not hurt the  grant as of chapter of S George of Windsor if it be of S George the martyr and  the like the grant by such a name be good because the martyr be but a addition  of ornament to the name comprise in the charter and it be no other but the  same in re true so here if it have be domini our men jesus Christ because it  be the same and be but a ornament to the word Christ comprise in the charter  and so shall it be also if it have be Christ son God savior our men because it  be but a true addition to the same whereupon judgement be give for the  plaintiff as appear in the king bench pasch Elizabeth rot and Popham say  further in this case that to erect a hospital by the name of a hospital in the  county of S or in the bishopric of b and the like be not good because be be  bind to a place too large and uncertain but a college erect in accademia  cantabrig or oxon be good and some be so find because it tend but to a  particular place as a city town c
