TITHE CASE.—This was an appeal made from the
decision of Messrs. Marriott and Jones, Magistrates of the
county of Hereford, by Sir H. lloskyns, Bort. The Reverend
W. Coke, Vicar of the parish of Pencoyd, summoned the
Baronet before the Bench of Magistrates for refusing to pay
the tithe of certain fields of clover belonging to him in that
parish. The defendant pleaded that as the clover was not in-
tended for seed or to be sold, but was for fodder for his own
cattle, he was not amenable fnr tithes. The Magistrates
over-ruled the defence, and adjudged Sir Hungerford to pay
four pounds for tithe and the expenses. The appeal came on
for hearing at the Herefordshire Sessions on Monday. For
the appellant it was stated that Sir Hungerford Hoskyns as
the lay-rector, and had the right to the large tithes, and that
Mr. Coke, the vicar, had the small tithes, of which the seed of
clover was one. The appellant did not set out the clover for
seed, but for fodder, and the defendant contended that as part
of the clover had run to seed, the vicar had a right to have the
whole crop laid out, and the seed rubbed from the tenth part,
and delivered to him. In reply cases were cited proving that
the crop as fodder was to be considered as large tithe, and not
as vicarial or small tithe. After a lung consultation the bench
decided that mops of artificial grasses intended solely for
fodder and food for cattle were alone subject to the rect ial
or large tithe, and that the appeal ..vas sustained..—Hereford
