When the King grants any privileges, liberties, franchises, &c. which
were privileges, liberties, or franchises in his own hands as parcel of
the flowers of his crown, as _bona et catalla felonum fugitivorum
utlagatorum_ &c. _bona et catalla waviata, extrahur; deodanda, wreccum
maris_, &c. within such possessions, there if they come again to the
King, they are merged in the crown, and he has them again in _Jure
Coronæ_; and if the wreck, or goods waifed, estrays, &c. were appendant
before to possessions, now the appendancy is extinct, and the King is
seised of them in _Jure Coronæ_. But when a privilege, liberty,
franchise or jurisdiction was at the beginning erected and created by
the King, and was not any such flower before in the garland of the
crown, there, by the accession of them again to the crown they are not
extinct nor the appendancy of them severed from the possessions; as if a
fair, market, hundred, leet, park, warren, _et similia_, are appendants
to manors, or in gross, and afterwards they come back to the King, they
remain as they were before, in _esse_, not merged in the crown, for they
were at first created and newly erected by the King, and were not in
_esse_ before, and time and usage have made them appendant. _9 Rep. 25,
h._
[21] Writ issued to the sheriff to enquire of waste, who returned _quod
mandavi ballivo libertatis qui mihi nullum dedit responsum_, and for
this he was amerced, and _sicut alias_ awarded, because by the writ he
is judge and hath power to enter the franchise. _T. 11 H. 4. (81.)_
_Fitz. Retourne del vicount._ 53. But
Note, that sometimes the sheriff is judge, as in redisseisin, waste, and
admeasurement, and the process shall be served by the baily as is said.

_Ejectione Custodiæ_ [under _W. 2. c. 35._], at the distress with
proclamation the sheriff returned _mandavi ballivo libertatis_, &c.; and
by _Thirning_ and _Markham_, the sheriff shall be amerced, for the
proclamation is to be made by the sheriff by the statute. Therefore
because the distress with proclamation is a thing entire, he ought to
have entered the franchise and served the whole writ himself: and
_Rikhill_ and _Tirwit e contra_ and that he did well, as in a _præcipe
quod reddat_ of land, part in guildable, and part in franchise, the
sheriff shall make precept for parcel, and shall serve the rest himself.
_2 H. 4. 1._ _Br. Ejectione Custodie._ 1.
If a distress with a proclamation be granted, and the defendant hath
nothing but within a franchise, the sheriff shall make proclamations in
the county, and the baily of the liberty shall distrain him. _2 Inst._
