Tenure in burgage of the King, and that the heir of the tenant is within age, is found by an office returned into the Chancery ; the King grants this land to A in fee : a scire facias shall be awarded against A. to restore the land to the heir : but if it be not granted, arid only seised into the King’s hands, a supersedeas shall be awarded to remove the King’s hands. For tenure in burgage is common socage ; it is a tenure as of a city, town or borough ; the King has nothing to do with the heir whether he be utder fourteen years of age, or above fourteen, and under twenty-one.
