After stating a clause providing for the inrolment and for the keeping and inspection of the award, the plea set out the following proviso; - and that nothing in that act contained, should be construed or adjudged to defeat, lessen, or prejudice the right, title, or interest of the said W. P. Powlett, his heirs and assigns or any of them, of, in, and to the seigniory and royalties incident and belonging to the said manor respectively, but that the said W. H. Powlett, his heirs and assigns, and all succeeding lords of the said manor for the time being, should and might, from time to time, and at all times thereafter, have, hold, and enjoy all courts, perquisites and profits of courts, boons, and services, and all yearly and
