(a) See 1 Roll. Ab. 423. Pl. 4. 5. 1 Co. 176, 177. alfo Godb. 445. but fee also Cro. Cir. 299 but there is a difference in the reason of the thing in the two cafes; a reaf,nable alfurance must contain the ufual covenants, that is to fay, those which are inferted in deeds founded on fimilar cir umftances, but the affurer is not compellable to admit a warranty. See I Mod. 67. It must alfo be fuch a conveyance as correfponds with the nature of the contract. Heb. 275. But quære, whether the authorities cited to prove that reafonable covenants are to be inferted in deeds of further affurance ought not to be confined to primary conveyances. And fee 1 Sid. 467, where it is faid that the grantor is not obliged to make further affurance with covenants

(b) When the further affurance is by fine, though the defcription of the parties comprifes more than was intended to be conveyed, yet it will, according to 1 Bulft. 90, be binding on the grantor, though contrary according to 1 Roll. Rep. 103, 117.

(c) Note diftin&ticn between fine and recovery, a fine extinguishes eftate tail, and therefore if there be tenant in tail remainder in fee in himself, and tenant in tail contracts a debt and dies, and his heir levies a fine, the reversion will immediately come into poffeffion and be chargeable with the debt, but if in fuch cafe he suffer a recovery the estatetail will in confideration of law be expanded, and the bond debt gone with the reverfion, which by reafon of the recovery is barred and can never come into poffeffion. Vide 2 Atk. 205, 206, 207.
