case Fitton versus Com Macclesfield January in court Lord keeper No limitation  of time for bring a bill of review yet after a long acquiescence under a  decree the court will not reverse it but upon very apparent error vide Norris  v Le neve atk Skerrington v smith brown p c Smythe v clay bro p c the  plaintiff Fitton have bring a bill of review to reverse a decree make by the  Lord chancellor Clarendon about year since the defendant the Lord Macclesfield  demurrer and also plead to the bill of review upon the plead in the cause it  appear that the Lord Macclesfield in easy term exhibit his bill thereby set  forth that sir Edward Fitton be seize in fee of the estate in question settle  this estate upon himself for life remainder to all his son successive in tail  male in case he shall happen to have any with a remainder to the Lord  Macclesfield who be his nephew and the heir male of his body but subject to a  power of revocation by deed or will that afterward sir Edward Fitton make his  will and thereby devise the land to the Lord Macclesfield in fee who therefore  pray by his bill to have the trust of a term that be to attend the inheritance  assign to he and complain that Fitton and the other defendant pretend to set  up several title to the premise Vernon chancery case er p Vernon chancery case  in answer to this bill the now plaintiff Mr Fitton set forth that subsequent  to the settlement in the bill sir Edward Fitton make another settlement and  thereby limit the estate to himself for life remainder to all the son he shall  after happen to have in tail male with remainder to the now plaintiff and his  heir but with a power of revocation by deed or will and that he do not know  that sir Edward Fitton make any such will as be pretend neither be it material  for that the say sir Edward Fitton in his lifetime by deed poll bear date the  three day of April car release the power of revocation in the last settlement  the cause be hear the that January and a trial direct to be try at the king  bench bar touch the reality of this deed poll which upon a long and full  evidence be there find to be forge and thereupon they come back into this  court and the will be full prove here by witness a decree be make for the  plaintiff the Lord Macclesfield and a account of profit direct and the deed  poll be order to be bring into court but a twelvemonth time be give to Mr  Fitton to try his title and in case he shall think fit to try the same a  officer of the court be direct to attend at such trial with the deed vide  Frankland v Hampden all ante afterward Mr Fitton within the twelve month bring  his ejectment in the county of Chester and upon full evidence a verdict pass  for the Lord Macclesfield who thereupon come back into this court and the  decretal order be make absolute in the bill of review the principal error  assign be first that this be a title proper at law and that a man Vernon  chancery case ought not to be conclude in a title which concern the  inheritance upon a single verdict and especial in a feign issue where the  whole title can not come in evidence dly that the Lord macclesfield title be  under a will and there have never be any trial touch the reality of this will  vide autem post the will prove at the trial dly the plaintiff Fitton be send  to trial under a great prejudice the deed poll be call in the order a pretend  deed by reason of which reflection the trial can not be a fair or equal trial  thly that here be a account of profit direct and a decree make before any  trial have which be preposterous thly that here the deed poll be damned  whereas some of the remainder man that claim by this deed be no party to the  suit to this bill of review the Lord Macclesfield plead and demurrer the plea  be that Mr Fitton though he have take no notice of it in his bill have by the  decretal order twelve month time give he to try his title he afterward bring  his ejectment in the county of Chester where the whole title on both side come  in issue and that upon a full and long evidence a verdict pass for the Lord  Macclesfield by a jury of the best gentleman in the county the demurrer be  because there be no error in the decree it be ground upon two verdict and that  the court have a proper jurisdiction of the Cause there be a long term out in  trustee to attend the inheritance and that now after twentytwo year  acquiescence under the decree Vernon chancery case and when all the witness to  the will be dead the plaintiff ought not to be admit to his bill of review and  especial for that he have not pay the cost of the former suit vide ante S c  for the plaintiff it be say that a bill of review be not bar by length of time  but by some at the bar it be say that a fine and nonclaim will have be a bar  to the bill of review if Fitton have not be in prison a fine and nonclaim  allow a good bar to a bill of review per Hutchins Lord commissioner Lengard v  griffin post vol and that the title be proper a title toe try at law and yet  have never be try for as to the trial in the king bench that be only in a  feign action where the validity of the will can not come in question and they  be also send to a trial under a prejudice the deed poll be call a pretend deed  and as to the other trial there be a ejectment indeed bring but there Mr  Fitton be under the same prejudice as to the deed and he can not make use of  the deposition of some witness that be dead the bill and answer not be bring  down so that in truth the validity of the will be never fair try but suppose  there have be one trial and a verdict upon evidence against Mr Fitton yet a  title at law ought not upon that to be perpetual bind up by a decree of this  court for that be to make a verdict in ejectment as peremptory as a recovery  in a Vernon chancery case er p writ of right but all that the court ought to  have do in such a case have be to have set the trust term aside and have leave  the party to law and sup see a bill be now bring in this court suggest that a  title be dispute at law and shall pray that for peace sake a trial in  ejectment may be make as peremptory as a recovery in a writ of right without  doubt a demurrer will lie to such a bill dly this decree be unjust to damn the  deed poll because that the remainder man be not party and though Vernon  chancery case Mr Fitton can not full prove his title yet the remainder man may  and by that mean the court may be engage to make repugnant decree dly that  here a account of profit be decree before any recovery at law and yet at the  same time Mr Fitton have a year time give he to try his title which be  preposterous and a account of profit be not so much as pray by the bill and a  decree ought to be but secundum form candidacy and have the bill be as general  as the decree a demurrer will have lie as to any relief for a account for the  defendant it be answer that as to what be object that the remainder man be no  party that be no error to be assign by this bill because those that be not  party to the decree can not be bar by it neither can they have any bill of  review of that decree dly as to the objection that it be a title pure at law  that be a mistake for there be a trust of a term to attend the inheritance  this court have undoubted a proper jurisdiction dly that whereas it be object  that the validity of the will have never come in question that be also a  mistake for in the ejectment bring by Mr Fitton where the defendant as well as  the plaintiff be to make a title the validity of the will come proper in  question for the Lord Macclesfield can make no title but by the will the prior  settlement with a remainder to he be with a power of revocation the subsequent  settlement to Mr Fitton revoke that so that upon the ejectment not only the  validity of the will but the reality of the deed poll come again in question  for have either the deed poll be find real or the will not well prove in  either case the Lord Macclesfield can have have no title and where the court  have a jurisdiction by reason of a trust it have not be unusual to make a  decree upon one trial as in the case of the Lord Howard Vernon chancery case  and this case be much strong the will have be full prove in this court for so  the decretal order be and also attempt make to set up a forge deed and for  that reason in sir Thomas williams case a decree be make upon one trial to  damn a forge deed and as to what be object that the decree be large than the  bill it be answer the bill be upon the whole case and relief pray in the  premise and they also insist on the length of time and that their witness be  dead as also that the plaintiff have not pay his cost for though the Lord  keeper have make a order to dispense with it yet that ought to have be set  forth in the bill of review which in this case be not do per cur when a decree  come to be reverse on a bill of review it ought to be either because it be  unjust in matter of law arise within the body of the decree or for that the  court want or exceed its jurisdiction neither of which objection be make out  in this case for the court have a plain jurisdiction by reason of the trust of  the lease and without doubt this court have a natural jurisdiction in the case  of forgery this be the proper court to detect it in where you may have time to  inspect the deed and to sift the witness which the proceed at a trial at law  do not admit of and then the court have a natural jurisdiction it be only  matter of discretion whether to send it to a trial at law or not Gilbert v  emerton post vol and in case the deed poll have be damned without any trial  yet it have not be error and it be make out that there be a forgery in the  case the Lord keeper say he do not wonder the court insert some reflection in  the order in odium to the forgery and as to what be object that the court  ought only to have set the term of year aside and to have leave the party to  law which be the only material objection he say he do Vernon chancery case not  think the court be bind so to do No question but a bill of peace to prevent  multiplicity of trial be a proper bill vide Ewelme hospital v Andover ante and  case cite in not there though have the matter be res integran he shall not  have make altogether such a decree to have bind the inheritance after the  lease expire upon one trial so Edwin v Thomas post vol but he observe there be  the great reason for it in this Vernon chancery case er p case because Mr  Fitton decline controvert the will and rest upon the deed poll for release the  power of revocation and though there be but one trial wherein the will can  proper come in question yet he well remember that upon the trial of the  forgery in the king bench doctor Smallwood be produce and he there prove the  will and though there be no limitation of time to the bring a bill of review  yet after two and twenty year he shall not reverse a decree but upon very  apparent and flat error especial this decree have be make by the Lord  Clarendon who well understand the rule of justice and equity and by Mr Keck no  decree of his be ever yet reverse and there have be since his time several  other keeper and chancellor and no bill of review bring he do not see cause  after this length of time when the witness to the will be dead which whether  make or not be only matter of fact to reverse this decree and therefore  dismiss the bill of review Reg lib a fol it appear by the register book that a  order be afterward obtain for a rehear of the abovementioned plea and demurrer  and on motion it be order that the plaintiff shall procure the same to be set  down for such rehear the first day of cause and exception after the term or in  default thereof such order for rehear be discharge Reg lib of fol N B it do  not appear again
