the use of the fee results, that fee will be descendible from the first purchaser of the estate. For this reason, a fee which descended ex parte materna, will, under the resulting use, be descendible in like manner. (¿)

So if an estate tail was taken by descent ex parte paterna, the fee taken by resulting use will be descendible as if the donee in tail had taken the fee as the purchasing ancestor. (k)

And whether the use results, or is expressly declared, the same course of descent will prevail.

But a fee taken under the render of a fine is a new estate, and the conusee in the render will be deemed the purchasing ancestor. The fine sur grant et render is a double conveyance, and partakes of the nature, and has the effect of a feoffment and re-enfeoffment. (/)

Of Deeds to lead, and Deeds to declare the Uses of Fines.

When a fine is levied after and in pursuance of a covenant or agreement to levy a fine and declare the uses thereof, the deed containing such declaration or agreement, is

correctly denominated a deed to lead the uses of the fine; while a deed declaring the uses of a fine, takes its denomination from the circumstance that the deed is subsequent in date to the fine, and executed after the fine has been levied.

The subject of deeds to lead, and of deeds to declare the uses of fines, is of considerable interest to the profession, since these deeds frequently occur in practice, and produce a material change in the title. To state the cases, and the rules of law on which they are grounded, and give the proper forms of deeds, will require more space than can be allotted for them in this volume. This learning will be the subject of the first chapter of a future volume.
