Case LIII: 1220

If the teste of the original writ of covenant is after the conusance in the case of a fine ; and so for the common recovery as to the teste of the writ of entry in the post ; they are amenable : for these are manifest mistakes of the clerk, although it was taken otherwise in the 39 Eliz. yet it was resolved as above the 41 Eliz. Note the Book of Entries, 252. Fines are commonly acknowledged, arid after the caption, the writ of covenant entered with the antedate.
