[001] of his lords and is enfeoffed, [it is] either by his lord or by a stranger: [if by his lord], [002] the assise lies against all; if by a stranger, against everyone except against the true [003] lord in whose potestas he is, should he wish to disseise him. It also lies for him who [004] holds a tenement until provision be made for him,1 just as for others who hold a free [005] tenement, for it may well be that he will never be provided for and thus the tenement [006] may remain in fee. The assise also lies where a gift [of the same thing] is made to two, [007] successively and at different times, both put themselves into seisin without warrant, [008] and the donor ratifies the seisin of one but not the other; if he whose seisin has not [009] been ratified is ejected, he will not recover.2 If he ratifies both, that cannot stand, but [010] priority [of seisin] must be preferred, as though both had entered with warrants.3 If [011] one enters with a warrant and the other without, he who has the warrant is preferred [012] and the assise lies for him. If two claim as heir and there is doubt as to their right, in [013] view of that doubt the assise lies for him who first puts himself in seisin, unless it may [014] be proved that in truth he has no right. If two claim an inheritance, neither of whom [015] has right, as where both are bastards, the assise lies for him who is first in possession, [016] with a warrant or without it, until another ejects who has right of some kind. If one [017] is a bastard and the other legitimate, or one bond and the other free, the assise lies [018] for him who has right, if he who is in seisin has time, long and peaceful, so that he [019] cannot be ejected without judgment. What if he does not have such time? [If ejected] [020] he will not recover by the assise. 4<[The assise lies for two persons], if a gift is made to [021] a husband and wife together, who have, so to speak, one right, or to two others, together [022] in common.> One is taken to have ejected at once if he has given a tenement [023] subject to a condition which depends upon a future event, as where he says, I give [024] you so much land if you marry (or that you marry) my daughter, and, after the [025] gift has been made and livery has followed, the donee, though long afterwards, betakes [026] himself to other vows and marries another;5 if he is ejected, even without judgment, [027] he will not recover by the assise, because if a thing has been given for a causa [028] and subject to a condition which depends upon a future event, though the gift is [029] complete from the outset it nevertheless is subject to resolution if the causa does not [030] follow, by force of the condition, and it thus begins to be void because the condition [031] was not satisfied,6[But it could be said to the contrary that if the condition could not [032] be satisfied at once, it could be after the death of the woman he had married contrary [033] to the agreement.] and the same may be done in many other gifts, suspended under [034] a condition or complete but subject to resolution on the non-performance of the condition. [035] Just as one may himself be ejected and have his remedy by the assise, so may [036] he be through his household or7 others who are in
