The was aware, that it might be urged t hat to elairn'the rights of a '4.0. gess, a *an must adually 1e one • bete it was enough that a man pretended to holy orders. But to cover the situation of the present a pplic an ts, a fourth visa ) acter should have been dep.cted, viz. that of preten ding to pretend to holy orders. The ordination was ad ministered by a htiman authority, although the office , was a divine one : and the applicants must be re quired to 'hew when, how, or on whatground their pretensions were built. Admitting that they were: in progress to and in expectation of holy orders—that they were in a courseof discipline which would ultimate ly entitle them to attain them, still the Court would ex pect the grounds of their pretensions to be stated, to see that they were acting lona . fide, and were not merely deluding the Court as well as theirown minds. The defendants had stated as the reason of their re fund towards the applicants, that they were not the teachers of a separate congregation. The ATT9IINEY-GETtERAL submitted, that this was a sufficient ground; but, if it was not, let them shew, under the construction of the Toleration Act, without the aid of the Stat. t. 9. Geo." 3, that they were enti tled to be sworn. Even though the Magistrates had gone upon a false ground of rejection, the applicants must shew •that they have a full title to what they ask : they must prove, not only that the Magistrates were wrong on those grounds, but that they are right on all grounds. The Court was now judging for the Sessions; and would doubtless take all circumstan ces into their consideration. . Mr. Assvir, on the same side, said, thzt this was a mere attempt to avoid the decision of the Court in the case of the King v. the Justice.. of Denbighshire, 14. List. 285, which pronounced that, if the applicant sought toquaTifyas a teacher or preacher,he must have a separate congregation; but which hinted that he might come within the Sth Section of the Act, a. pretending to holy orders. The Learned Counsel argued, that the present applicants were not, in the character they had assumed, liable to any of the pe nalties of the Acts of Charles 11. and had, therefore, no title to claim to be relieved from them. He went through tirese Acts, and found that the Five Mile Act, (17 Car. 11. c. 2.) was the first which contained the words "pretended holy orders," &c. which were there introduced he said, in order to prevent the " Vicars, Curates, Lecrurers, and other persons," therein mentione.l, from evading the Act, and in order to save the Crown fr •rn the necessity of proving the holy or ders. Those words were merely retrospective: the prospective words of the Act were,—" and all such persons as shall take upon them to preach in any un lawful assemb'y, conventicle, or meeting, under ca. lour or pretence of any exercise of religion, contrary to law, shall not (except in passing . on the road) vane, or be within five miles of any city, town corpo rate, or borough, sending Members to Parliament, on pain of forfeiting R-10 'for every such offence.' When the Toleration Act was framed, there were many of the first description of clergymen still liv ing, and the words in the Bth section were doubtless intended to apply to relieve the persons characterised in the five mile Act. Lord ELLENnoftouult asked the Learned Counsel if they were aware, that there had been a judicial in terpretation of the words, pretending to hob/ order: be tween the 17 Car. 2. and the Toleration Act, He alluded to Cater's case, Skinner 80, in which three Judges decided that the words must me s at pretend ing to have holx orders. Mr. Almon' concluded with pressing that the words pretending to holy order:, were too loose. and indeter minete to allow of perjury being assigned on au affi davit containing such a statement. Mr. Justice Ls BLANC—You do not mean to• say that the applicants are liable to no penalty if they preach ? Mr. ABBOTT—No, my Lord, only that at the time . they a ppl y ithey have incurred no penalty. It they have a congregation, they will not be objected to ; but the only use the present applicants can make ot the oath they desire to take,—all they can predicate• ot their wishes—is, that they may be relieved from certain penalties, but we say they are liable to none. Mr. foriguits,'l with whom were Messrs. GURNEY, DENMAN, and • BusanuasAsi,) supported the ruin. If Mr. Abbott means that this was the first vow a per kin of tins description had applied to take the oaths aspreiending to ftoly order:, he had sinned against all his knowledge of Se4sions practice. That expression .meancnothing more than claiming holy orders ; and in rh• se times the word pretend was not used in an in vidious sense. The defendants described themselves in in:contradicted affidavits as persons pretending to holy Drat, • and the Magi.trates stated no objection to.their character, kut only said that they had been inforMed (information. which was not correct) that the Court 41 King's-Bench had' decided, that every applicant must be also the teacher of a separate con , gregation Dissenting Protestants. The Attorney- Generalhad said; that however tae Justices mighthave been mistaken, the party must shew himself to come within the description of the law. He had sworn him self within that description. The framer of the l'oiera tion•Act was well known to be Lord Somers, as great a la.. ,er as ever lived, and one as well-acquain ted with the history and 'character of - his age : he knew that at the time of the Act, the tour descrip tions of persons whom it comprised, actually existed. In the case which his Lordship had quoted, Pember ton, J. differed from the west of the Court. The preachers cf Dissenting congregations must be elec ted by those congregations, who could not, till the candidate had made atrial of his talents, invite him to become their preacher ' • and, therefore, to hold that a man could not lawfully teach till he had a se •parate congregation, was to say, that no Dissenting Student could ever exhibit a specimen of his gifts, but that his pastorship must take place per :alums.—. The Attorney-General .had called himself the advo cate of the Dissenters, but they would not thank him .for some of his doctrines. The permission to take these oaths, and to subscribe this declaration, gave the Dissenter no privileges or immunities, unless he should afterwards be found to be a teacher of an ac tual congregation, except the exemption from some .severe penalties, which did no great credit,to the sta tute-book. -It only confirmed their loyalty with the sanction of an oath; and the Learned Counsel wishes! that no other oath was going on through the country. Lord Eebrasoftouun here stopped the Learned Counsel. There was not only no occasion to decide that question on the present application; but it could not be done with propriety. l'he Magistrates had clearly mistaken the decision of the Court in the Xing v. the Justices of Denbighshire; the Court did liikW lON'S DF.24111/I,ilcE. • T HIS.
