Beverly's case

A man may enter in the moiety of a manor, *225and it will not be an entry in the other. But it is otherwise with parceners.

Before partition, one parcener has dimidium manerii afterwards medietatem. For dimidium is of a thing before the division, as between tenants in common and joint tenants. But medietas is the half part divided; and separated, and this distinction is taken in the commentaries. Yet as to the privileges of the manor, it is one manor, and not the half of a manor, after partition. It may be well alledged in such a case, that the entry is in the moiety of the manor. The court held that the exception was vain.
