LAW 'REPORT. COURT OV KING's BENCH, MAY 6. THE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTER- SAIRE. The .ATTORNEY-GENERAL shewed cause against this rule, which caAeh upon Otte defendants to shew cause why a mandamus"shOuld 'not issue,to them, commanding t ()canto administer the oaths to Thomas . Standtast - Britton, and John Packcr, i and to permit them, to make and subscribe the deClaration required - under the statute :1 W. and M. C. 8, commonly called the Trleration Act. The . Attorney,General proesed his anxious 'wish' to follow up the spirit of that Ad,-and to gi%e its qualifications to everybody whom any rational man .could VLiSh to see in pos session on them ; but be thOught they might fairly lye wit hirld• from those who coul l l give no satisfac tory aCecunt;.wirV they wished to be invested With their flowers. The present application was founded upon the eighth sedion of the statute, which enact ed, :that " - no person - dissenting from the Church of England, in ' holy orders, or pretended holy orders, or pretending to holy orders; nor any preacher or teanher of any congregation of dis senting Protes'ants„ that shall make and sub sCribe the deefiration mentioned in the stat.3o Car.ll st. v. c. t. (against Popery) and rake the oaths men:- tioped in the star. tW: and M.;•c. (concerning the dispo! c. slaws , of that Parliament), at the Ge nera, Qu trier S;ssions of the Peaci - , to be hold for the county, to ivri, parts; or division, where such person fires, ;which Court is hereby empowrered, to administer 'the same,' and bliould declare his appro bation tit t l tid subscribe tie articles of religion men tioned its the siatote 13 ZilZ except the 34tii, 35th, 86 , 1 i, alta certain words of the 20th article, shall be it.bie to any of the oains and penalties melt tione.Y it) th , ,tat. 17 Cdr. 11. c. 2. and 13 Car. 1,1. . c. 4,, for 'officiating in ant congregation for - the exercise of religion permitted ald allowed by this Act." It never could he contended, that the de scription of persons who otigh( wane this c` aim ex ter-dt-d to all enankind. -11-tno%ed at a distance from the into' of pirs-ing this Ati, and unacqtkainted"witic the tln ()logical controversies of that day,it was ditiict it for tfteAt toraey-General to define who were contetn plated by the Ad ; but the statute to C.,!0. • c. 44. " for the farther relief of Piotrstant Dissent ing Mmistera and SchorThnasters," alter reciting the conditions upon which the toleration was tendered " persons dissenting from Aire Church of -Eng ! ;rid in holy orders, or pretended holy orders, or pretending to holy ordcrt, litid preachers or teachers of any congregation of D:ssenting Protestants," arid_ that " many soch persons scrupled to declare.their aoprobatioo of, and to _subscribe the artiees of Jeluired to be subscribed by the Toleration Am - , writ " for giving ease to -such scrupulous per sons," enacted, " .that every person dissenting from - tire (Atwell of England, i 9 holy ordersii or pretended holy orders, or pretending to holy orders, bcing a teacher or preacher ofiarry Congregation of Dissent.. in Protestants. %Ito, if he scrupled to declare - and subscribe as aforesaid, slice Id take • the oaths, and make and subset the the dtclarat ion against popery; required by the said Ad t W. and Itil. ; and should also make and Albscribe".3 certain declaration thereiP mentioned, shout.; be toptilledur all the, exemptions, benefits, pr v , hrges, and advantages, granted to Protestani D.ssenting Ministers, by the said Ad l W. aid IM. and by ioSA tO Anne, c. 2. &C. Tlr spirit of toleration was certainly more frvourable nters in the igth - Geo. 3, than in the Ist AV: and M. .tad the ebje c ts of relief were meant to be extende by the 'Act of - the former reign ; but yet the words of that Ad plainly shewed, that the Le gislaturecoosaered-the Toleration Ad as extending only to such. Dissenters in holy orderS, &c. as were also teaCht,.rs of congrrgarions ; and it was fit that there should be some such restraior upon the exten sion of this priailege, and that it should not be open to every wild man, absolved from the rules which bind the regular clergy, and whom a perverted un derstanding ;art persuaded to be in possession of 'a call from he Aren, to set himself up as a teacher of the rest or mankind: It never could be the inten ikon of the Legisliture to countenance the preaihi , g or discourses 01 these enthusiasts; and the Attorney General was asserting the'rights of the Dissenters, whom he chiraMetised as a rational and well-dis posed set of 'men, •in separating therrilrom those fanatics, "tit ho, without either wit,. or. learni-g, or sense; pretei.ded to a ad! from heavew; and who. were trim that would cast no lusfre upon the talents' and piety of the Dissenters as a body.---He there fore tistd the Aa of 19 Geo. - 111. as 'a key to the construttion of the Toleration Att ; and argued, that • such claiinant, as the present must first be the teachers of separate congregations. Tie interests of the public would not be consulted in granting the pp plicdnt a-license to teach, when there t as-toevi .-denCe before the Court (hit a single person desired to be taught by him. The Attorney-General had a ditheulty in construing the meaning of the words in the Toletation Aa ; but _the Gentlemen on the s'ide would contend, that they had-no mean ing at all. They insisted that 'all men who chose .to say they fell within their meani-ng, did so fall. If applicants needed not to have a separate congre gation, he' words of the Act ought to have- tun : diss,nters in holy orders, or preieuded holy orders, or pretrnding to holy orders; and all other persnus whatsoever,:' It lay on the other side tQ _spew, that the applicant=, came :within one of the •.do sc ript ions et the Act : they asserted 'fit the Sess'ons, that they retended to hdy orders: they were refused there : and now they came to this C.urt ettid asserted the same. Would the Court require nothing -more than this assertion? The woods pretending to holy ord , fts -must mean something. Give them any construction ; let them , Oew how they pretend to holy. orders. Holy orders were not a mere act of their own 'hind.; they trust have re. ttived- - thern , tram somebody : ordination implied Eo;t1 e t invested; or Communiatedlrorn another quarier 5 and no other quarter was pretended as the fountain of ofdinanOn. ,The convi.l:tion in their own mind %tilt trfey were ordained by bod, - was the proposition which the Attornsy-Genetal, had to exclude. 17. e likened this to the case of.a claim ant-tit be a member of 'a corporation. Would the ,Court grant anlondanins i upon his swearing that he was a capital burgess? They would require tb 'LONDON : Printed by 1-1( At the SUN OFrIC to.sliew the ground upon which he- sta'ed himself to be a capital burgCssL and if the Court thought it coljnrable, thq Oily grant the mandamus. — The Aitorney-General was_aware, that it might be urged in answer to ibis, that to claim 'the, rights of a burgess, a man must actually be one : here it , 4 as enough that a man pretended, to holy orters. But tocov er the situation of the present applitants, a fourth charaCter. should have been dt-pi(-tetr, that Of pretending to pretend to holy orders. The ordination was AdMinistered by'a human atithcnil, although the office was a divine one -; and the kp, plicauts. must be required to spew when, 'how, or on what ground their pretensijns were built. Ad mitting that they were in pttgress to apt in expec tation. of holy:otclers—t hat 'they v , .ere _in a (-muse' of discipline which Wonld ultimately utuitle thrit to attain them, still the Court would expect the grounds of their pretensionslo be stated, to set that they were aging bona fide and w e re not meNly de, "tiding theCourLas well as their own minds. Thu 'defendants had stated, .s the reason of 111.4 refusal towards the applicants, that they were not die teachers of a separate conga gation. he Attorhey- General submitted, that this Has A sufficient ground; ,but, if it was not, let thorn show under the construc tion of the Toleration Ad, 4iihout the aid - of the Stat. lg. Geo. -3, that they were entitled to be sworn. Even though the Magistrates had gone up : on a false ground of objection, the applicants most spew that they have a fuL 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 Sus. ions; and would doubtless take allcircuinstaves into consideration. Mr. ABBOTT, on the same side, said, that_ t!,is Was a mere attempt avoid the decisi.m of the Court in the ciae of the King v. the Justices of Denbighshire,' 14' East, 285, which pitmounced that, if the appli . cant sought to qualify as a teacher or preacher; lie, must hate a sep rate congregation ; but whicl hint ed, that he might also come within the Bth Section of the Ad, as pretending to -Holy Orders. The Learntd Counsel argued, that the present applicants were not, in the character they had assumed; liable to any of the penalties of the AelS of Charles It.•and had, tlieretole, no title to clairn'to be relieved from them. H.:* ent rbrough these Ads, and found thst the Five Mile Ad (17 Car. 11. e. 2 ) was the first w hich contained the words " pretended holy ordets,". &c. which .vere !Jere i s3id,in order to preven t' the " Pa Vicars,Cutates, Leeturei s,.and other persons," therein mentioned from evading the Aa, and in order to save the Crown frivn 'the - necessity of proiiug the holy orders. Those . -words were merely retrospedive;. the prospedive words of the • mt were, and all such persons as shall take upon them tb preaLh in any unlawful assembly, conventicle, or meeting, under colour or pretence of any exercise .of religion, cenirary to law, shall not (except in passng on the road) come, or be. within five miles of any city, town corporate, or borough sending Membeis to Parliament, on pain of forfeit ing,4ol. for every such ofietice." When the Tolera , . lion Ad was framed, there 'wile many of the first description of cler;ryiren living, and the words in the Bth section were doubtless intended to apply to relieve the persons characterised in the Five-mile Act. Lord ELLENBOROUGH asked the Learned Counsel if they were aware, that there bad been a judicial interpretation of the words_ pretending to holy or- , ders between the 17 Car. 2. kind the Toleratiori d fit. He alluded to Cater's case, Skinntr'Bo, in. which three Jinges decided that the words Must mean 'pretending to have holy orders. Mr. ABBOTT concluded with pressing that •the words pretending to holy orders, were - too 100 'e and indeterminate to allOw of perjury being signed nn an affidavit contaiyng such a statement. Mr. Justice LE BLANC—You do not mean to say Ilya the applicants .are liable to no penalty_if they preach ? • Mr. ABBOTT.- 7 O, my Lord, only that at the. time they apply they have incurred no penalty. If they have a congregation, they will not be objeard to; but the only use the presertt applicants can make ,of the oath they•desire to tal4;,—all they can predi cate of - their svishes—is, that they may be relieved from certain penalties; but we say they are liable to none. Mr. TOPPING (with _whom . were Messrs. Goa- IVEY, DENMAN, 'and BEIOUGUAM,) supported the rule. If Mr. Abbot meant that this was the first tinte a person 'of this description had applied to take 'the oaths as - pretendirig to holy orders, he had sinned against all his knowledge of Seseeons praCtice. That expression meant nothing more than claiMing holy orders; those times the word t' pretend" was not used in an invidious sense. The defendants de scribed themselves in uncontradiaed 'affidavits as petsons pretending to holy orders; and' the Magis trates stated no obje(iion to their character, but only said that they had been informed (information which was not correct) that the Court of King's Bteoch had decided, that. every applicant must be also .the teacher of a separate congregation of asserting Protestants. The Attorney-General had said, that however the Justices might have been mistaken, the party must shew himself - to_ come within .t be de scription of the law. He had sworn himself within that description. The framer of the Toleratitin Ad was well -known to be Lord .Sonlers, 'as great a lawyer as ever lived, •and one as ,well acquainted . with the history and character of his age.:. be knew that, at the time of the.Act,.the four descriptions of persons whom it comprised, actually. existe.l.--- In which his Lordship had quoted, Pem- , ' berron, J. differed from the rest of the Court. - The preachers of. Dissenting Congregations must be 'eleCted by those t - kmgregations, who could not, rill the candidate had made a trial of his talents, invite him to become their preacher ; and, therefore, ro hold that a man could not lawfully teach till he had a sTarate 'congregation, was to - say, than no bis-. seating, Strident could ever exhibit a specimen of his gifts, but that his pastorship must take place per solvent. -The Atiorney,General had called him self the, advocate of the Dissenters, but they would, not thank him for some of his doctrines. • The per-, mission to take these oaths, and to 'subscribe . this declaration, gave' thtt Dissenter no privileges or im munities, unless he should afterwards be found to • be a teacher of an actual congregation, except the exemption from some se:vere pualties, which did DMAS WOOD; of No. 35, Maiden-lane, Covent-garden ; 'and Published by WI I LIAM Alt NIIGER SC RUTS, South ;E, No, 112, Strand, where AdvertiSements, , Orders for the Paper, LeUers for the Editor, &c. [post -pa; no great credit to the Statute-book. it only con firmed their loyalty with the sanction of an oath and the Learned Coansel wished that no other oath wa: going on Through the country. - LOrd ELLENBOHUUGH hire stopped the Leatnett Counsei. There was not only no occasion to decide that question on the ;present- application ; but it could not be dofie with propriety. The Magistrates bad clearly mistaken the decision of the eourr in ilre King v. the Justices of-Devbighshire; the Court did nut underst ind the qualifications there talked of in a copulatite sense ; and it was, 11F:refute,. unne cessary to consider .the question further, inasmuch as tee Magistrates had not denied the applicants to be pos.essed of ibis character they assumed, but re"; quired the conjunctive one olteacher of a separate congreg u inn. 'rite Court, therefoic, - thonht" it proper *Opt the Mandamus should go; and. if the Magistrates should return the applicants .not to be persons pr.:tending to baveboly orders (if that should be judged to be. the meaning \ of the .cords " fending to holy orders") ; or a they should go tar ' titer, and s that the applicants. had no holy or 7 ders. whatsoever,• the question might ,LIK.I be raised either on the return iii a motion to quash it, or it would be open'io the parties to maintain their action at law for a false return, which thight go through every C&irt in Westminster Hill. His Lordship quoted the judgment of Lord Holt in 6 - Modern Reports; and that of Lord Mansfield from 4 Bur rowrl.992, in the case of the King v. the Justices of Derbjshire, (better 'reported :here than in t Sir Wut. Illaclsslune, 606.) He also ,cited the 52,1 statute from Scubell's Acts, p. Bp, ‘thich said ihat none should preach but th•ise who had been ordain ed, except such as for trial of their gilts might be appointed by both Houst.:s'oll ) zrilahletq, and vho had skill in the otigin.illauguages, and such•arts and scieners as were the haridtnaids of religion, as w:.i! as a general knowledge of divinity. He quoted this as the opinion of those who managed affairs in the time of the 'troubles, when literature was supposed to be in dis-esteem. Rule absolutefor. a Mandamus.
