Fines and Recoveries of Lands in Ancient Demesne levied or suffered in the Manor Court, after other Fines and Recoveries in a superior Court, shall be as valid as if the Tenure had not been changed.
Fines and Recoveries shall not be invalid in other Cases, though levied or suffered in Courts whose Jurisdictions may not extend to the Lands therein comprised.

V. And be it further enacted, That if at any Time before or after the passing of this Act a Fine or Common Recovery shall have been levied or suffered, or shall be levied or suffered in a superior Court, of Lands of the Tenure of Ancient Demesne, and subsequently to the levying or suffering thereof a Fine or Common Recovery shall have been or shall be levied or suffered of the same Lands in the Court of the Lord of the Manor of which the Lands had been previously Parcel, and the Fine or Common Recovery levied or suffered in such superior Court shall not have been reversed previously to the levying of the Fine or the suffering of the Common Recovery in the Lord’s Court, then and in every such Case the Fine or Common Recovery levied or suffered in the Lord’s Court shall, notwithstanding the Alteration or Change of the Tenure by the Fine or Common Recovery previously levied or suffered in the superior Court, be as good, valid, and binding as the same would have been if the Tenure had not been altered or changed; and that in every other Case where any Fine or Common Recovery shall at any Time before the passing of this Act have been levied or suffered in a Court whose Jurisdiction does not extend to the Lands of which such Fine or Recovery shall have been levied or suffered, such Fine or Recovery shall not be invalid in consequence of its having been levied or suffered in such Court, and such Court shall be deemed a Court of sufficient Jurisdiction for all the Purposes of such Fine or Recovery; and in every other Case where Persons shall have assumed to hold Courts in which Fines or Common Recoveries have been levied or suffered, and such Courts shall be unlawful or held without due Authority, the Fines Common Recoveries which at any Time before the passing of this Act may have been levied or suffered in such unlawful or unauthorized Courts shall not be invalid in consequence of their having been levied or suffered therein, and such Courts shall be deemed Courts of sufficient Jurisdiction for all the Purposes of such Fines or Recoveries.
