, a prince whose hands were too full of pressing business, during his short reign, to leave him leisure for plans which could ripen, if at all, only in the distant future. The xiv. ] DISTRIBUTION OF LAND IN ENGLAND. 59 statute of Henry VII. Differs in no essential particu- lar from that of 1 Richard III. , c. 7. The statute of Henry VII. Merely relaxes the provisions for ensuring the publicity of a fine contained in the earlier statute. There is another objection scarcely less fatal than the la...st to the assumption of a deep political design in the framers of the statute, that the design, if it existed, was so clumsily carried into effect by the words of the statute, that it became necessary about fifty years afterwards to pass another statute, the 32 Henry VIIL, c. 36 (1540), to declare that the 4 Henry VII. Applied to entailed estates at all. The 4th of Henry VII. Was a general statute intended to restore (with modifications) the ancient rule of law, which made a fine or compromise of a suit con- cerning land in the King's Court, a bar to the suit of any one who did not claim the land comprised in the fine, within a certain period after the fine taking place.
