In waste for a chamber demolished and sold Gower says that at the time of the making of the lease it was very weak and so it collapsed through a storm and we did not demolish it nor did it collapse by our fault. And this was held a good response. But note that Ousefleet challenged this because he did not deny that he had sold the wood etc. and thus an action of waste was given to him because no other action is given to us. This was not allowed by the court because he had made a full response to the main point of the action, namely that the chamber did not fall by his default, because the sale of the wood is not accessory to the other etc.
