_Bram._ Yes, madam, Mr. Serjeant and myself have agreed, as he is pleased to inform you, that it must be an indenture tripartite,[132] and tripartite let it be, for Sir Geoffry must needs be a party; old Cimberton, in the year 1619, says, in that ancient roll in Mr. Serjeant's hands, as recourse thereto being had, will more at large appear---- _Tar._ Yes, and by the deeds in your hands, it appears that---- _Bram._ Mr. Serjeant, I beg of you to make no inferences upon what is in our custody; but speak to the titles in your own deeds. I shall not show that deed till my client is in town. _Cimb._ You know best your own methods. _Mrs. Seal._ The single question is, whether the entail is such that my cousin, Sir Geoffry, is necessary in this affair? _Bram._ Yes, as to the lordship of Tretriplet, but not as to the messuage of Grimgribber. _Tar._ I say that Gr--gr--that Gr--gr--Grimgribber, Grimgribber is in us; that is to say the remainder thereof, as well as that of Tr--tr--Triplet. _Bram._ You go upon the deed of Sir Ralph, made in the middle of the last century, precedent to that in which old Cimberton made over the remainder, and made it pass to the heirs general, by which your client comes in; and I question whether the remainder even of Tretriplet is in him--But we are willing to waive that, and give him a valuable consideration. But we shall not purchase what is in us for ever, as Grimgribber is, at the rate, as we guard against the contingent of Mr. Cimberton having no son--Then we know Sir Geoffry is the first of the collateral male line in this family--yet---- _Tar._ Sir, Gr----gr----ber is---- _Bram._ I apprehend you very well, and your argument might be of force, and we would be inclined to hear that in all its parts--But, sir, I see very plainly what you are going into. I tell you, it is as probable a contingent that Sir Geoffry may die before Mr. Cimberton, as that he may outlive him. _Tar._ Sir, we are not ripe for that yet, but I must say---- _Bram._ Sir, I allow you the whole extent of that argument; but that will go no farther than as to the claimants under old Cimberton. I am of opinion that, according to the instruction of Sir Ralph, he could not dock the entail, and then create a new estate for the heirs general. _Tar._ Sir, I have not patience to be told that, when Gr----gr----ber---- _Bram._ I will allow it you, Mr. Serjeant; but there must be the word heirs for ever, to make such an estate as you pretend.
