and by the second by fine and imprisonment, without limitation for every time of the month in which he practises physic. [148]And all these reasons were proved by two grounds, or maxims in law; 1. [149]_Generalis clausula non porrigitur ad ea quæ specialiter sunt comprehensa_: and the case between Carter and [150]Ringstead, Hil. 34 Eliz. Rot. 120. _in Communi Banco_, was cited to this purpose, where the case in effect was, that A. seized of the manor of Staple in Odiham in the county of Southampton in fee, and also of other lands in Odiham aforesaid in fee, suffered a common recovery of all and declared the use by indenture, that the recoverer should stand seised of all the lands and tenements in Odiham, to the use of A. and his wife, and to the heirs of his body begotten; and further, that the recoverer should stand seised to the use of him, and to the heirs of his body, and died, and the wife survived, and entered into the said manor by force of the said general words; but it was adjudged, that they did not extend to the said manor which was specially named: and if it be so in a deed, _a fortiori_, it shall be so in an act of Parliament, which (as a will) is to be expounded according to the intention of the makers. 2. [151]_Verba posteriora propter certitudinem addita ad priora quæ certitudine indigent sunt referenda._ 6 E. [152]3. 12. a. b. Sir Adam de Clydrow Knight, brought a _Præcipe quod reddat_ against John de Clydrow, and the writ was, _Quod juste, &c. reddat manerium de Wicomb et duas carucatas terræ cum pertinentiis in Clydrow_, in that case the town of Clydrow shall not relate to the manor, _quia non indiget_, for a manor may be demanded without mentioning that it lies in any town, but _cum pertinentiis_, although it comes after the town, shall relate to the manor, _quia indiget._ _Vide_ 3 E. 4. 10. the like case. But it was objected, that where by the second clause it was granted, that the censors should have _supervisum et scrutinium, correctionem et gubernationem omnium et singulorum medicorum, &c._ they had power to fine and imprison. To that it was answered, 1. That _that_ is but part of the sentence, for by the entire sentence it appears in what manner they shall have power to punish, for the words are, _ac punitionem eorum pro delictis suis in non bene exequendo, faciendo, vel utendo illa facultate_; so that without question all their power to correct and punish the physicians by this clause is only limited to these three cases, _sc. in non bene exequendo, faciendo, vel utendo, &c._ Also this word _punitionem_, is limited and restrained by these words, _ita quod punitio eorundem medicorum, &c. sic in præmissis delinquentium, &c._ which words, _sic in præmissis delinquentium_, limit the former words in the first part of this sentence, _ac punitionem eorum pro delictis suis in non bene exequendo, &c._ 2. it would be absurd, that in one and the same sentence the makers of the act should give them a general power to
