CHELMSFORD ASSIZES.
N THE IMV. Y. SMYTIIIES.
This was one of the numerous actions at the Chelms-
ford Assizes, brought by a Mr. W!un, against the '
Clergy in that part of the kingdom, for non-residence.
The defendant is Rector of the parish of St. Mar-
tin's, in Colchester, and also of Little Bentley, a vil-
lage about eight miles distant. The action was
brought to recover penalties to a consi.lerabk amount,
under the Act of the 4•3 d of the King, aileged to
have been incurred by the defendant for non resi-
dence at the above benefices.
The plaintiff admitted, as the fact was, that the de-
fendant had always resided either at one benefice or
the other, and the case therefore resolved itself into a
question of law, which was argued by Mr. Gurney,
Mr. Heath, and Mr. Spankey, for the plaintiff ; and
by Mr. Serjeant Best, Mr. Marryatt, wad Mt. Knox,
for the defendant.
It appeared that there was not a parsonage-hones
in St. Martin's, but the defendant chiefly resided in
that parish in a house of his own, and when he was
not there, he constantly resided at the parsonage-
house of Little Bentley. It was argued on the part of
the plaintiff, that the defendant's residence at St. Mar-
tin's was not a legal residence, because there was no
parsonage•house, and that he ought therefore to have
resided at Little Bentley, where there was a parson-
age-house.
On the part of the defendant, it was contended that
the law requites a pluralist to be resident on one of
his benefices only, and that where there is no parson.
age-house, a residence within the limits of the Uene-
fice is a legal residence, and consequently that the de-
fendant had incurred no penalties.
Mr. Baron Wool) being i,f this opinion, the plaintiff•
was nonsuited.

of Proverbs, and 2d verse—i, And also that idle soul
be without knowledge
.it is not good " From these
words he delivered an appropriate discourse on the
occasion, urging, that those who arc without know-
ledge, from want of education, will become no better
than barbarians. He highly complimented the Royal
Family and other distinguished characters, for their
exertions in the cause of the infant poor, and exulted
at the progress the good cause was making: In Scot-
land a peasant would be affronted it it was doubted
whether he could read or not. In Wales great pro.
rress was making with the poor in reading their
Bibles ; hut he lamented that he could not say so
much of Ireland, where he was fearful not above one
in ten could read. The collection amouted to about
,8 140. The Friends of the Institution 'next appeared
