The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

A voucher which occurs when the person first vouched to warranty comes in and vouches over a third person.

See a precedent, 2 Bl. Comm. Appendix V. p. xvii.

The necessity for double voucher arises when the tenant in tail is not the tenant in the writ, but is tenant by warranty; that is, where he is vouched, and comes in and confesses the warranty. Generally speaking, to accomplish this result a previous conveyance is necessary, by the tenant in tail, to a third person, in order to make such third person tenant to a writ of entry.

Prest. Conv. 125, 126.
