COURT OF TH.E DEAN AND CHAPTER

OF ROCHESTER, MARCH 7.

IMVORTANT DECISION.-sMITH AND MOZE V. SIR

A. KEATS.

Iti this case the Churchwardens sought to subtract 1:
church rate from Sir R. Keats, the Governor of the Royal
Hospital at Greenwich, for his house, coachhouse, gardens,
&c., situated within the Hospital. The question war
altogether a novel one, and the claim was oppo•ed by the
Governor on the ground that the Hospital was situated on
lands that formed part of a royal domain, and that a rat,
for the church had not been levied before, the land having
belonzed to the Crown, and vested with the Hospital in
Commi sionera for cbaritdble purposes.
The arguments on bawd of the Churchwardens of the
parish of Greenwich, who aro the promoters of the suit,
and on behalf of Sir R. Keats, were heard at some length
some mlnths since.

Dr. LUSHINGTON appointed this day to give his judg-
ment. Toe question he had to decide was an important
one—whether Sir R. Keats was liable to be assessed to
the c'aurch rates according to the libel given in. The
rate was made for a house, coach-house, drying-grounds.
&e. ; the first assessed at 1501., the second at 201., and
the last at 201 a year. In the opinion he should give

self to the point. he hail now to decide, and not whether
the lio-pital ought or ought not to be rated. No difference
of opinion could exist as to the fact that all property
prim, f ,cie was liable to the church rate with special
exceptions. A church- rate bad existed in this country
from time immemorial; no one could venture to assert
when it was introduced into England, and he had not
been able to discover the oistinct time it was introduced.
The property of the Church itself was not rateable.
As to property held directly or indirectly for the use
of the Crown, there could be no doubt that it wa-
impossible to rate that. Property in possession of the

hoped they would adjourn to Monday.
Mr. SHEIL gave notice, that he would move a reso-
lution respecting tithe*, on the 21st of March.
Several petitions were presented by Mr. Itsxm,
and other Hon. MornbPra.

Mr. COBBIETT did not speak, as was expected, not having
been able once to catch the Speaker's eye, although he ro►e
repeatedly,
