The King being tenant in tail by a gift made to some of his ancestors being subjects, may by fine levied on a grant aud reader bar the estate tail : but after the render made it seems necessary to have letters patent to grant to the conusee by express words, that he may enter into the land.
Where the King claims in respect of his natural capacity as heir of the body of a subject per furmam doni, he shall be bound by an Act of Parliament.
But where he claims in his Royal and politic capacity, a General Act shall not, bind him, unless he be expressly named, except in special cases.
