[001] he was wrongfully disseised thereof; under those circumstances it was not lawful [002] for him to accept his own property without judgment. Suppose that both B. and C. [003] impetrate against A. at the same time; I ask which assise ought to be heard first. It [004] is clear that resort must be had to the last assise. Suppose that C., the last disseisee, is [005] negligent and B. first impetrates against A. and recovers against him by the assise; C. [006] afterwards impetrates against both A. and B. The exception of res judicata put [007] forward by B. will bar him, as against A. the writ will be good as to escambium, [008] by the judge acting ex officio. If he impetrates against B. alone, the writ will be [009] ineffective, because he committed no disseisin; if against A. alone, he cannot restore; [010] he must therefore bring it against both. 1<From the foregoing therefore it appears [011] and is presumed that in the assise of novel disseisin a warrantor may be vouched [012] which appears to be absurd, since in delicts one may not vouch a warrantor nor [013] name his lord as actor, since pains ought to fall on those who cause them. Here we [014] must distinguish whether the plaint of novel disseisin is brought as a penal action or [015] only to the extent that it is recuperatory. If as a penal action, whether brought against [016] the one or several who committed the disseisin as principals, or who were enfeoffed [017] immediately after the disseisin, a warrantor will never be vouched, because of the [018] delict of disseisin. But if it is brought against someone only to the extent that it is [019] recuperatory, as where one has been enfeoffed by a disseisor long after the disseisin [020] and before the impetration of a writ, when the feoffee is not subject to a penalty, [021] since he committed no disseisin, though he is bound to restore,2 he may lawfully [022] vouch a warrantor, even without another writ, if his warrantor, that is, his feoffor, is [023] present, and he ought to answer at once, even without another writ. If he is not [024] present at the taking of the assise, then when he has been vouched let him be summoned [025] at once to be present and warrant the tenement as to which he was vouched [026] while the tenant is3 in seisin, as is done in the assise of mortdancestor. If both are [027] absent the feoffee has only himself to blame. 4And so if a warrantor is vouched [by a [028] writ of entry post disseisin] where one of the parties dies, that is, the tenant or the [029] plaintiff or both, where the penalty dies with the person, as where the plaintiff alone [030] dies, [since] there is no one who may sue on the injuria, since he who suffered the [031] injuria and had an action as to the penalty is dead, [or] if the tenant dies, because [032] since it is penal the action does not lie against heirs any more than it lies for heirs, as [033] in the former case; nor a fortiori if both die. 5That a warrantor may be vouched clearly [034] appears, as where the assise of novel disseisin is arraigned against
