Eftates Tail w^erc made liable in Cafes of Treafon, where the Party was attainted by Confcillon, Verdict, or Outlawry * ; and, by the Sratutc 33 H. VIII. Upon any manner of Attainder. There is no Occafion to flatc all the Cafes, eithc" extending Forlcitures, or limit- ing them under the comprehcnfive Words of the Statutes of H. VIII.
