offence be make high treason and be thereof lawful  convict judgement be give against he accord in this statute be the follow  proviso videlicet provide always and be it enact by the authority aforesaid  that this act or any thing therein contain or any attainder or attainder of  any person or person for any offence or offence make treason or felony by this  act shall not in any wise extend or be judge interpret or expound to make any  corruption of blood to any the heir or heir of any such offender or offender  or to make the wife of any such offender to lose or forfeit her dower of or in  any land tenement or hereditament or her title action or interest to the same  Joseph Horton soon after his conviction make his escape out of prison and die  in the city of London leave the appellant Ann his widow the appellant Joshua  Horton jun his old son and heir a infant and three young child a inquisition  have be take and it be thereupon find that the convict be possess of the land  in question subject to sir John manwaring mortgage and several other  encumbrance the land be seize into the hand of the crown and some time  afterward grant to the respondent subject to a annual rend and under covenant  on their part to discharge the encumbrance in Michaelmas term the respondent  exhibit their bill in the court of exchequer against the appellant and other  proper party to establish the right of the crown and to redeem the premise and  for a account of the mesne profit thereof to which bill the appellant put in a  answer and thereby insist on the above proviso as prevent the corruption of  the blood of the heir on the that of may the cause be hear when contrary to  the opinion of Mr baron price the court declare that the whole estate be  forfeit to the crown and therefore decree that the plaintiff shall be at  liberty to redeem the premise and shall be let into possession and have a  account of the rend and profit from the time that the offence be commit but  from this decree the defendant the widow brother and old son of Joseph Horton  appeal insist e Northey l Lutwyche that the above clause or provisio in the  statute which make this offence treason intend to make the punishment as  personal to the offender as the gild and never mean that the innocent heir who  be no way sharing in sin shall be a sufferer but that it full and in express  word save and preserve the right of the heir to every thing which can descend  or come to he from his ancestor as full as if the ancestor have commit no  offence at all for that the save against corruption of blood preserve the  descent to the heir in the same manner as a save of the land to the heir brown  will have prevent corruption of blood and although the act make a new offence  treason yet it restrain and limit the effect of that treason and confine the  forfeiture to the offender life that not only the heir but the widow and the  rest of the child who only support the remain of this estate be will be starve  and utter undo and the several fair and good fide creditor of the say Joseph  Horton particular those who have become bind for he in considerable sum and  diverse workman who have demand for building a large brickhouse which be stand  on the premise must fail of their debt and be entire ruin unless they can be  reimburse out of the estate itself and therefore it be pray that the decree  may be reverse in support of the decree it be contend t Parker S Dodd that  save the blood in a attainder for felony may probable by implication save the  inheritance also because attainder in felony do not forfeit any land to the  crown but only corrupt the blood and thereby prevent a descent and be the same  in consequence of law as if the offender have die without heir unattainted in  either of which case there be no person who can make title to the inheritance  under the offender his tenure be determine and therefore the land by law may  return to the lord of the manor not as a forfeiture but as a escheat only for  want of a tenant and so become parcel of the demesne again but that the  present case be a attainder for high treason differ toto clo from attainder  for felony for by the express word of the statute Henry cap Henry cap brown er  p Edward cap the land of person attaint for any manner of high treason be  forfeit to and actual vest in the crown against the offender and his heir and  also against the lord of who they be hold to all intent and purpose save the  right of all person except the heir of he attaint that the estate in question  be but a freehold and no inheritance nor the wife dowable thereof and be  before and until the attainder entire in the convict either to alien to any or  to forfeit to the reversioner a strong to the crown that a attainder for  treason do another to make as much and more than the offender can have make or  do by any grant or mean before attainder it be a rule in law that whatever a  person have power to grant he shall as full forfeit by attainder for high  treason that therefore to save the estate by any implication or construction  will be inconsistent with and direct repugnant to the several statute  abovementioned which express give to and actual vest in the crown all the  right title and interest of the offender in any land tenement etcetera with a  save of all person except the heir of he attaint and yet the heir by such a  suppose implication only will total defeat the crown although it have be  solemnly hold by all the judge of England that no implication ought to be  admit for a subject against the right and interest of the crown beside such a  construction of this proviso brown as the appellant contend for be contrary to  the general rule observe in the construction of statute for wherever two  statute seem to cross each other such exposition and construction must if  possible be make of both as that both may stand in force and in the present  case it will be so if by the attainder and the aforesaid statute the land be  forfeit to the crown and by the proviso the blood not corrupt for thereby the  heir will continue inheritable to he or any other ancestor though attaint of  felony or any other crime except high treason and so this proviso and all the  other statute will be consistent and have their full effect and operation  which otherwise can not be and that it be regular true that all proviso and  exception must be take strict and here the blood only be express save no more  shall be intend to be save for a forcing apparatus compose to be remiss  Tacitus accord after hear counsel on this appeal it be order and adjudge that  the same shall be dismiss and the decree therein complain of affirm jour vol p  fraud
