Found, That a prelate having right to teind-sheaves, if he live till the corns be shorn, although he die before Martinmas thereafter, and even before leading of the corns, yet the whole teind-sheaves will pertain to him and his executors, and not divide as in farms and other duties, where the party deceasing before Martinmas leaves only to his executors the half of the year's duty; but this was found not to hold in teind-sheaves, where the party having right may lawfully lead immediately after shearing; so that here neither Martinmas, Whitsunday, nor the time of leading, but the time when the person hath in law, right to lead, is considered.
