The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
The name of an ancient writ, which, Fitzherbert says, "ought to be brought of lands and tenements, and not of an advowson, or of common, and lieth only of an estate of fee simple, and not for him who has a lesser estate, as tenant in tail, tenant in frank marriage, or tenant for life."
Fitzh. Nat. Brev. 1.
