Legal Term: DOUBLE VOUCHER

Definition: A common recovery is sometimes suffered with double voucher, which occurs when the person first vouched to warranty, comes in and vouches over a third person. See a precedent, 2 Bl. Com. Appx. No. V. p. xvii., also, Voucher. 2. The neecessity for double voucher arises when the tenant in tail is not the tenant in the writ, but is tenant by warranty, that is, where he is vouched, and comes in and confesses the warranty. Generally speaking, to accomplish this result, a previous conveyance is necessary, by the tenant in tail, to a third person, in order to make such third person tenant to a writ of entry. Preston on Convey. 125-6.
