Fundare

Lat. In old pleading. To found, or establish. A term formerly used to denote the supporting a plaintifif's or demandant's count or declaration, (mtentio or querela,) by showing the facts and circumstances upon which his demand was founded. Debet petens proponere intentionem suam, secundum formam brevis, et fundare earn sic: quod pater vel mater vel alius antecessor suusfuit sey situs, dbc. The demandant ought to propound his count, according to the form of the writ, and to establish it thus: that his father or mother or other ancestor was seised, &c. Bract. fol.

N^on sufficit simpliciter proponere inteniionem suam, sic dicendo, Peto tantam terram ut jus meum, nisi sic illam fundaverit quod doceat ad ipsum jus pertinere, et per quam viam et per quosgradus jus ad ipsum debeat descenders. It is not enough to simply propound his count, by saying thus: " I demand so much land as my right," unless he so found or establish it as to show, that the right belongs to him, and by what way and by what degrees the right ought to descend to him. Id. fol.
