Richard Gresham and George Berisford were joint tenants of a house in Blackfriars, London. Berisford died, leaving his effects, including some papers, to Peter Semayne. Semayne sued to have the effects delivered to him, so the Sheriff of London, with a valid writ, entered the house by breaking down the doors.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
