The enengement lasted, without intermission, until dark, and t. rintnated with their total deist. Their toes is computed at idiom 2.090 men, and the British anal AlOcs., about 103 killed., and CAI wounded. Their de feat was to derisive, that their whole force appeared to be ilisor. f amiss! ; tiwy let,ke up the following slay from their advanced po. smells. and commenced a disorderly ratrest to Cooniassie.

S 11,—in the letter which I lately addressed to you ott the sub. ject of thelini Tithes, !endeavoured to thew the prenelicial tnt dercy which die continual agitation of that gunfire was COICIII•ted Ito baste upon the best intermits of oat venerable Church Establish. mein ; and I urged the policy of a speedy terminatton berg put to discussion which so Demuth" invnieed the security and wells being of that iniporrant branch of our excellent Constitution. Its &nog this I purposely abatainci from venturing an opinion on the Ikgel merits et the queigitith contenting myself, at the time, hi pnintiug out what ! comildczed to be an obi( ct of prim concern. mem to all who really desired rats suit unaohnity to prevail among the inen.bera of our national religion. It did appear to me that this was a point of view in which the subject had rot been sufficiently contemplate/1. Indeed, the principal cause which in. duced me to apply myself to the matter at all, was the taukt of , bssenting friend, Main:at:tiff that the very system by which our Religiuu twined. wae.fraught with a mien litigious spirit. But having sufficiently enlarged on this bead in my Milner letter. I shall now proceed, in pursuance of the intimation there given, to make a few observations on the right claimed by the owners of the Tithes of thine parishes which at the time of the it, of London, in Ifinff (whether destroyed by the fire or net), were either appropriate or imptoptiate Rectories; and bcirg each, were not, as 'shall show by.and., within the operation of the Shit. of 22. and =Chas. This t is claimed, as uty fellow.citieens are all tolerably well awnre, y virtue of an Act passed in the 37th of Retry VIII.; and of a Decree thereto annexes!, which Act and 11eerer, it is ma tended, entitle the clabstants to a rate of Zi. Yd. in the 11. on the !tack Rental of every inhabitant of their respective parishes, unless it pin be diem' that they are legally exempted from the operationuf this Statute. i wish, - however, to premise, that In making these obserratiore, my only object is to moiler a subject, which at pre. sent is, I believe, somewhat imperfectly understood, more familiar anti intelligible to thee of thy fellior.eirtzens, whine intension, like my own, WS materially inv.:Lid in the ~sue of the question, but whine avocations, or habits of ttoraght, hare prevented them fnmi acquiring 'het degree of knowledge of it, which it is essential they should posers, in under to determine them as to thine steps which they may hereafter think proper to adopt, in reference to the claim thus made upaa them. I am not unaware of the horning and talent that have been from dor to time displayed in the discussion of the right of the lay and Cletical Rectors, sounded on the statute and decre: above alluited to, and although I Will Sc hold so say, that in no single instance (nnte'l, perhaps, in tic case of Hallam v. Adams and 'another, of whit I shout pre. scaly have occasion to speak more at large, may be deemed wen, Iltas the question been (shit argued, yet it would be contrary to my purpose, and tit. Wore highly presumptuims, were I tot; reload to t ny thing more than that of explateing to my fellow citizens the real position in which we stand, Ltd of ouggeeting, at the toast. an ar. runt :.t or two as to the tenability of that position. In saying that the ugh: of the Rector anti Impropriator has not been hhis ly argues!, mean only that it has not been argued in any Lauri upon the tact of the validity of the decree. It will he seen presently that its eter; instance, the parties litigating this right, here mistaken their theenctseand have invariably admit:el that grand and only point on eltich a renioaece to the parson's demand could in nine cases our of ten be sitstaitied. lint I shall have occadita to allude to this fact wore par ieillorly by and be, and shall therefore row address ineself for the swei q teethe before. us. IVltie is it, then, that we are rename:rye against I A claim made by the l. o, Improprlatur f 2s. :el. in the pound oft the rack rental of each inhalhatit, in hot of thltee. and which chins he justifies by virtue of a decree made in hie :17th year of the reign of Henry the Eight, and which decree was by statute passed iu the same year, declared to be bind. ing upon the then inhabitantsof the parish, and their seta-nor', for et .r, and shoe sucernois we art. In reference to the claims of all rights which are not natural rights. but the mere arbitrary even. thins of the topreme power of the State, two qwetions unifumtly arise, Ilas the right been created according to the pre scrihed mode which alone can alive tote its validity; and second, Is the right thee treated a wise and beneficial right, in reference to the int.xests IV others, or does It operate in denigation of the gene ral good. These questions, it will be seen, are very distinct in their nature; the former applying solely to the legality of the right, while the latter refers only to ha policy. it t., therefore, obvious, I think, that the tegument% which beat upon the one do nut necessarily affect the other. Now, to apply these re. marks. Mr. leynasion. foe Instance, sets up a e1i,7111, not a natural right certainly, nor partaking in the remotest degree of that jure dirbio, from 'which the clergy in early times acne wont to derive their tinting, but a right founded on an Act of l'arliantent, and therefore failing st Hier th • .1: 'Hof the two questions above mentioned. It is said. aid I mint cordially agree an the assertion, that right, ev ti admitting it to be legal, Is a most impolitic and unjust one. Nit far he it from me, era a logician tied n candid man, to impute this heur hem 31r.K . or many, thee that power Which ere it. ed it. Let us, my fellow citizens, divest euraelves of all usperity to weeds the not; let us shew that we know how to argue justly, against 1113 unjust right, and direct our arguments 'to the leant where alone they can in rea-on apply. By this coarse we shall nut only disencum ber ourselves of a mass of extraneous matter, bat shall relieve our cause from that suspicion which is very naturally cached towards it. by our having recourse to rush an untenable mode of defence as hero ad invective and unjust vituperation. Do not be disturbed at my talking thus ; be assured that this fair and manly conduct to • our adversary will nut injute nor cause. Besides, du any of you for a ntomert suppose that when the question centre to be based, es it 'tetra .Uy mus', before a Jury, the curtlurt of Mr. Kynaseon will be allowed to avail its ? Suppose Ills claim were to. ray 104. in the ho and on the rental, would this alter the rehire of the right ? It solid, it it true, aggeavate the enormity of the claim, but the rig'tt would be matter of dispute at last ; and that • -coy re.ard to its hecuelary benefit to the person enforcing it. There is another 'ointment adverted to by meroe persons who undertake to adv. cute our cause, but which, at I conchae it to be as unsubstan Lei as the one I have been minuting, I shall en. derantr to remove front pint minds. I mean the forbearance en the part of Mr. K. to enforce his claim fie/ nee:. The Pict thus as eutn. Al is itself false; for so early as the year 1741 did the ancestor of Mr. K. recover the rate of 2s. fed. in the pound from Joeeph Wattnn and othne e inhabitants of the parish of St. Botolph. But even admitting this to be the Jest time that the claim has been male, hew can this avail us ? had :my one the indeed been In the receipt and enjoyment of the tithe during the long tepee of time in which the hypothetical tight has existed, then the cinistarce of Mr. K. es: , :e plater% the claim would be against him, inasmuch as the law would say—another person having enjoyed this right miner. entrecily for so long a time. we must presume that your ancestors male a proper grant of it to that person or his antestene although such grant is not now to le . Mond. list in our cue, a tewhearance of making a denouid. does not moan' to an adverse possession. It 'a, as to this Iselin, a dormant right, which, so long as it Is not en joyed adversely, deseend" to the heir, and may be set up by him at any tithe, however distant. Haying, thus disposed of the arguments which mitered to the to he unwound, and therefore useless to our cause, I shall now advert to the opinion which is nue:mined by some, that by the operation of the thtatute of the 22d and na of Chutes 11. e. 15, all the parishes wl ich were ticetroycil by the dreadful tire of In*, ate ex empted from tithe, and charged only with the sums mentioned in that Act. This is obviously an crow, fur by the Vitt 'section of the Statute flsehf,it is ensettd,that while any improuriations be, all, and every h .impropreitor of impolitic-tors she?! pay and allow what really and btltafi•ic they have t..cd,ar.il ought in pay, an.l satisfy to the respective Incumbent of such reepective panels. at ary tutu before the reel late fire ; and the seine shrill be esteemed and 014111 , 11te1l as part of the maintenance of such incutnbent.' Now, it is clear that the impropriator's tithes were not taken sway by this statute, nor any other substituted liar thent ; foe it is not to him that the rum fixed by the Act it to be paid, but to the clerical incuitittent, ur officiatieg minister;—besides, where weuld be the Meth* of requiring the impropriator to pay, as theretofore he bad paid, to the incumhent, if lie woe net to continue to n tette his areustemed tithes? But there are two or three eases tieteenv of this yethe in the bookie where the lay imp ropriatom act parishes burnt down have recovered the rate of ffh 9d. in the pound, notwithstanding this statute t and in Ward and others, v. Helder. in 1093. it was expressly decided that the statute of Ch.ohn. dad . m I extend to lay i snf ropriettts, but to the preachirg minister ally. I mention this feet, because I observe that the opinior. is very preeskut, that the lay itnpropriste 'tenth's which did not seller by the fire, stand at this clay in a Stage predicament, on that very account, than thine which ennuibutod so feed the 'nighty cootlegno toe. But it Is time I should sp:ak of the reel defence to be made antinst the claim sought to be established by the 37th of Henry VIII. ; ani In doing this, it becomes inveasary to reeert agein to the Act itself. Before, however, we consider the effect of this statute, we will, fur the sake of making the setbject intelligible, say a few words on the inture of the pro via made for the Clergy of the City of London, previous to slut said Act being I passed. Tithes of houses lITTe not payable by the common law ; but the r e was • port'on of land ceinexed •.11 the panionage, tatted the glebe, beeitles the oblations. and other casual Suttee which arose urn marriages., &c. appropriated to the clergy; and by the' records of 'cordon, it appears that the olihrings rot houses in bor. don were paid in this manner Teat lie who paid twenty' shillings for his house, shotild oftit every Sunday, and every I Apostle's day. whereof the evening as, tasted, an halfpenny; and he that raid ten shillings rent yearly, should pay a ferthing— ehich amounted to' s. ed. in the pound in the year; there king. !Tattles the fitie.two Sundays. eight Apostle • days, the si2ile whereof were footed, and no Duet." This continued till the 13 h year of Richard 11. ; after which additions were made to the num. lour of SAM'S days, uhd thus inert-wing the yearly sum ro is 33. in the pound. I/reputes arising us to ibis payment, there was a sub. mission to the Loot Chaneeller and others, who made an order fur paver ent of tithes according to the rate tees it is said) of 20. 9,1, in the pound, which order was first pronaelehnnl by prociamatien, an I afterwards established by Act of rare oneat 27 Henry VIII. c. 21. But farther disputes arising henteen the petple end the thiy respecting these peyiernto. ten years aherwards that celebrated At t of Henry the N Mite. so often mei:tinned, woe passed. which coated, that the pones had *vent to abide by the decree of c.stax persons named in the Act, Oxieg the sums to b: paid; and then went on to say that surh miler as should be .I:ef.:ttl by those prisons before the tint of March, then reef, if an d con . coming the Tithes of the City of London nail its I.ithatirs, and repents! is etc Cemet of Cottzttetty if ilenstd.

This, then the ethect oat the hod Jeerer, solo 1c is the great subject fur our nitioderation, and now let us look at die things required to be does by thnhAct. First. a decree is to be nude. nsing the sent to be paid by the iss haliitants in lies of tithe'. heeendly, this decree as to be MAIO Win: 11C IS: eY March, thee nest, which weaki be in the year hies-ti.

That the thrice was made is admitted( and that it was . iomade before the la; ul :geni is slaw admitted, taw i: appears by the copy in the mei...trail of the Bishop of London to bear date the 21 - di February, 15 0 .5-4. The only remaining requisite then to this deeere twemnine in Act of Parliament. was its enrolment in th e nigh I Itattrt of lAiencrry. Ilut no such enrolment can be fauna ; every asarela. Inn been mute to arturnion whether it was eves en rolled ; but toe result bits been, that to evidence of the fact cal be traced ; sin die contrary, there are steely strong reations lot believing that it never 735 enrollaiL It weuld be exceeding the limits of Os letter to enumerate the various cogent ground' for 'emoting that this decree sits sever a valid and operative instrument, owing to this woe/ fatal omission in complying with the third requisite pre scribed by the Act ler making it a law. The inhabitants of St. Ilutolph, being well hilienned of these grounds, anti being firmly pereuaded of, their hirce, whenever they algal' be adduced in a (:uurt of l.aw its evidenc.: of the nuienrolutost of the decree, should it de. volveon them, as defendants, to give evidence in support of a He. leafier, elich. by the by, would tot, 1 lwlieve, he e'en!): the C 7 1 ,1..; the inhabitants M i ig, l nay, thus impressed with the strong holds of their defence, have dratted the richt of the Lay Impro yr:atue to the tithes which he claims by virtue of this statute, and refuse to pay him his deniami. Now comes the reply of the Int propriater.--Surely, says lie, at this time of day you tin not mean to contend that this Act and decree are reid, and of no Oen. after decisions upon decisions have been lie near three centuries past unihomly made in its farour by Jetty:es, laird Chancellors, and even the !louse of Lords, on repe..ted_ appeals le that noble body 7 We simpfy rt join —yes, indeed we do, and for this one reason, that no dens:on of iiJ mtge. Of a ler-d Chancel lor, or the !louse of lords itself, can make that an /Vet of Par liament which was nut an Act itt Parkinson, and es to the lapse of time, we can only account for that by the circumstance of our being a little wiser than our sites, for hail they pours/Kid nil the know ledge that we do on the subject, they would must 'literally have long since set this matter at rent. But, by pante strange perversity of the human mind, it seems that the fact of etirolsociat or non-en rolnaint never, for one ma n tent, occurred to them ; and they there fore, to all the tuitions and lens that were brought against them for the rate of ha Yd. in the pound. which this incemplete decree pur potted to give to the Rectors and Impeopriators, to all these ac_ tunas they inenriehly and uniformly °Jollied the validity of the 4terree, and instead of pleading against it altogether, they sought to delimit themselves by some one of the clauses contained In it, particuLirly that part of it which stated that " where a less sum than 2s. fitl. in the pound hail been atemstottini to be paid for tithel, that then in such places the citizens should pay but only af ter etich rate as had been scruatotnell" And thus we find almost all the Cale• that are rep orteti to be full of argument as to the old. necustomcd payment, for tithes made by the different occupiers pre- VillUS to the statute. Out of the twenty-throe cases repo t mean. of which the claim of Ys. lhl. in the pound was made, 1111 less titan twelve were defentletl in this way' ; but iit tits majority of them the defendants failed to prove their custinnary termini*, and they were accordiugly decreed to pay the rate mentiobed the malice ; anti very properly so too ; for having by their pleas admitted, in effect, the right of the claimant under the statute. providesl they should fail to establish the cust ))))) nry payments attniipteel to be set up by them, it oat toile just that they should be bound by that law which they had thus assented to ; at Itnat they hail no reason to Complain of the decision. But these admissions by thew canitot afliiet us ; they trade a had defence and failed ; we, latteever, are in possession of a better dere:ice. rind shall, I oust, vecoed iu destroying this exorbitant tax upon our property. There is SAW case which I mentioned is the tinnier part of this letter, that or Hallam v. Adams and !Awards, in which it in said the very vitiation of enrolment was raised, and sent toa jary, who, after hearing evltience, decided that the eteerve had heen enrolled. This is a triumphant case for that impropriator ; here he makes his stand, and the col faience with which this ver dict Matinee menus to have olsecured the fact front his perception, that we are totally unistionned as to the nature ofthe evidence adduced on that oration, or in what rein tire situation the parties thenteelves stood towards each other a for aught we know, Sheri" might have been collusion in the whole affair; at all events, the imprepnator forgetsthat theverelict ofuneJurytives not in any manner :elect the interest( of persons who are strangers to the suit in which that verdict is given. The whole question then resolves itself into this :—('an the im proprietor show that the decree was enrolled ?-11 nt, will the tact of its haring been assumed litr a period of near three hundred years to have been so, and during all that time acted upon ns a law. (fur the cases collected he .31r. 11 extern on this subject eleatly show that the Act has been recognized byalieCoiate fruit the year 1592, to the present day,) will thus fact furnish ground for a Jury t t I ifer its enrolment, or can it in any other way have the effect ofelothiny a decree with all the solemnity of an Act of Parliament tune, to the 2d of March 1515. th was net an Act of l'arliament, nor, in deed, binding no the parties in any shape ? After all, should this ' he detennined in the affirmative, which, however, is a thing Ic in scarcely allow myself to maypole, even by way of argument, it I then behoves us to look at the second question. which I speke of in I a former part 4if my letter as applicable to all rights that have their origin in positive law, as etintradistinguithid limn the immutable paws of nature. This, indeed, is a piestion of very serious int penance, and involves coneideratieas of the gravest kind, it being, in truth, a subject for legislation itself ; but, as I believe it Is not at present necessary to inter upon the diarawdon of it, inasmirli as 1115? is. 1 trust, but n very remote possibility of the mattes ar . tiVin; to this extremity, I shall reserve my remarks fur a future ocraston, anti conclude these obscreations with the hope, tl:at tf they have not contributed to elucidate the subject so clearly its may be desired, that they have at least divested it of those ex traneous topics with which it seems to have been hitherto mixed up, and have Pat it anon a more liberal and candid foisting, so that a fife and honest judgment might be formed as to the probabilny of our ultimate nieces', in destroying a right which has bsti, sue freed to exist for so many ye:xi, to the prejudice of the best interests of the citizens of London, and of the Churchltself.
