Bulstrode cotton plaintiff against Wescott defendant action upon the case on a  promise Ro Rep l Ro Abr in a action upon the case for a promise upon non  assumpsit plead a verdict be give for the plaintiff George croak move the  court in arrest of judgement that the declaration be not good there be no good  consideration therein set forth to raise the promise the same be for a  consideration pass and so not good the case for this be that the defendant be  a suitor to a young maid who do sojourn in his house afterward the defendant  do marry her and do then desire the plaintiff that his wife may still continue  to sojourn with he for a year long to which the plaintiff agree and that  afterward S such a day and month c which be then about the middle of the year  the defendant do promise that in consideration that he will suffer his wife to  continue there as a sojourner for the whole year that he will then pay he for  the whole year as well as for that which be pass as for that which be to come  and so it be urge that this assumpsit be ground upon a consideration pass  which be not good in law and so be Elizabeth dyer fol the case of the bailment  of the servant Coventry for the plaintiff if the case have be so that the  whole year have be pass and then the defendant have come to the plaintiff and  make this promise that in consideration he will sojourn his wife for a year  long he will then pay he for this year and for that which be pass before this  have be a good consideration to raise a promise for that he be at a prejudice  by this for peradventure he will not have sojourn his wife for this last year  if it have not be for the promise of payment of the first money coke chief  justice agree this to be a good consideration to raise a promise Coventry this  do not differ from the principal case for although the plaintiff have agree to  sojourn the defendant wife for a year yet there be no certain sum agree upon  to be pay for the same and therefore it be in his election to keep her till  the end of the year or not and therefore if the defendant have not make this  promise in the middle of the year to pay he so much he will not have sojourn  his wife until the end of the year croak I agree the case in Elizabeth of the  bail of the servant to be so and I agree also that if all the year have be  pass before the assumpsit have be make that this have not be good but here  inasmuch as this be before the year be end this be a good promise ground upon  a good consideration Dodderidae justice agree with he herein and here the  sojourn of the wife be at his request in beginning striving if upon request  one become bail for I S in a action against he if afterward hang the action he  do promise to discharge he of this this be a good consideration to raise a  promise by reason of the request precedent coke agree with he herein because  the action here be continue it be then urge that here be another consideration  for another promise in the declaration S in consideration that the plaintiff  shall board the defendant for a quarter of a year to come he do assume to pay  he so much quantum merit be and do allege that he do board he for eleven week  and so of his own show it appear that he have not board he for the whole  quarter coke dodderidge this be good enough for if he will not come to board  Bulstrode to the plaintiff after the eleven week yet he shall pay he for the  time that he have be with he it be then further urge that the plaintiff in his  declaration set forth diverse promise to pay so much quantum to deserve for  the do of diverse thing and have set forth performance of they and that he  deserve so much for every one of they in particular the which in toto amount  to such a sum which the defendant although often require have not pay so that  it appear that here be several promise and but one demand make coke yet this  be good for the word although often require and shrinking be quasi right of  way for cattle contra sharply and if one contract to pay unto another for any  thing so much quantum to deserve as for a quarter board if he will go away two  or three day after he shall pay for the residue Bulstrode er p notam that in  this it be agree by coke and croak that a infant shall not be charge upon his  promise for the board of a stranger but otherwise it shall be for his own  board the whole court agree the declaration to be good and the promise ground  upon a good consideration and therefore by the rule of the court judgement be  give for the plaintiff notam upon a motion make in court it be question  whether the wife of a banish man shall have her jointure coke chief justice in  of king e there be a famous case and it be Waylands case a judge and banish by  parliament then they hold plead in parliament there be then three thing offer  unto Wayland l whether for the offence lie to his charge he will be try by  parliament or second to be perpetual imprison or three whether he will be  banish he make his choice of banishment and so he be accord banish by  parliament and his wife then bring her writ of dower it be hold the same do  not lie but a action by her bring for a personal wrong do to the estate which  he have convey to her be hold well to lie but not dower it be then question  whether after the banishment of her husband she shall then enjoy her jointure  settle on her for her life or not to the debate of this case all the king  Council and all the judge be call and it be then upon good advice and great  deliberation rule and resolve by they all that she shall have her jointure and  enjoy the same during her life after the banishment of her husband which she  enjoy accord and three other precedent there be as touch this matter S one in  the time of king r and two in the time of king h so that the case of the wife  of sir Robert Belknap in the time of king h be not the first case though it be  there say here it be mode admire quod fmina that a wife bring a writ without  her husband yet this be no great marvel for she shall have a action and be  account of as a feme sole when her husband be banish by parliament or abjure  and no other kind of banishment there be of which our law take conusance  Belknap be banish and his wife have her dower dodderidge justice this be not  the first nor the second precedent for in e the wife of one Matravers bring a  writ of dower her husband be in banishment and hold maintainable
