CHAMPNEYSI ISQ.. V. itICHARDSON. CLIME.
This was an anion bronght by the Plaintiff agaitift
the Defendant. who is Renor f Faileieh, in the
county of Soinetret, and was tiled before Mr. Plaice
Levitates. fo the recovery of penalties acctued by
yea no of the Defendant's non-tefidence.
Mn &item Lsas, for the Plaintiff, (fated, that
the queition to determine was a matter of fa& and i
not aertated by any perfonal concern ; that the De-
fendant being Rah r of Farleigh, and not !eliding
accoroing to the Itipulations of a late Ail of Par
li.sment, had tubjened Itimfelf to certain penalties.
The Learned .Seijeant faid, that this was the firtt
afti 'tied under a new form and a new code,
which emitted, that if any incumbent of a l.iing, not
having a legal .excufe, was non-refident more than
three months in a year. he was fubjee to a forfeiture
of one third of the value of his living, and In on to
the extent of three I,tit ths. A power, the Serjeant
rod, was given to the Ilifhop of the diocefe, to excufe
t to party horn that penalty which would otherwife
attach, and that all complaints againft the Defendant
for this breach of the law had been done away for a
certain time, the Defendant having obtained the
licence of the blimp of the dincefe, confirmed by the
Archtmlbop ; but although the High and Reverend
Prelate., who had judgment upon the propriety of I
renekving the licence, had determined the fame (braid
be withdrawn, yet the Defendant was nonrcfident.
The learned Serjeant added, that the Dofendant's ex-
enfe was. that his pat frinage brittle was let to a gentle-
man who refides in it, but that the difficulty on that
account was eafily obviated, there being claufes in the
AO of Parliament as to the mode of procedure where
tenants retain pnffeffion. The law, be laid, was po
fiti tie and peel', the
.penalty being adapted to, the
value of the living, to arcertain which an application
Was direned to be iitaide to the Whop, who returns
tVse Value of the living, and that his certificate in
ate prefent care Gated it, after deduaing land tax and
poor rate to be 941,. per annual t
The lira wi ~.efs called was John Harper, who faid
*be lived at Fat Leigh Cattle, in-the parifh of Fatleigh,
and that he wab the parifh clerk ; that he had known
the defeticlant for five or fix years, _who was the rec.
for ; and that the defendant did not refide in the par-
fonatteboofe, but one Squire Houlton.
The venerable Biffinp of Bath and Wells was the
next wittier. called to prove the certificate of value,
Which wac admitted.
Mr. Buaaotrars, nh the part of the defendant,
ftronoly repr.hated this attiring which, he (aid, was
not to be attributed to the taufe, or for the good of
religion. but merely Mt account Of a difpute in the
month of September ; a month of which the Jury
bad often heard, on account of partridge chanting;
and he, a ith c-otfidence attired the Jury. that fo
far from the Plaintiff wifhing the Defendant re.
lid nt in hi, Parsonage }inure, he was thoroughly
foir.fied that if his wifhes could avail, the Reverend
Defen 'ant would be at the d--I. The Learned
nbferved, that the Defendant lived within
'tin miles of his church, chat he conflantly and nni-
rumly atten,led to the duties thereof, that the
PI iintiff was not one of the parifh, and the truth
really was, that the defendant, being out with his
gun on the fecond of September lark, on his own
grounds, which are oulortunately near the plain-
tiff',, he was met by the plaintiff, who told him he
mod not fport these, an amufement the defendant
decl red he could not give tip ; when the Plaintiff
imm.diately seminded him he was non refident, and
that, tolefs he gave up fporting, he would fport with
him i i a Court c f Law, by an anion for non refidenee.
S:r much, laid the Learned Counfel, for the mo-
tives which have culled this notable anion, which, he
[tufted, the Jury would difconntenaree, direett,g the
fame, by their verdie, to be winged out of the Court
to the citcomfiture of the Plaintiff.
The Learned Cottofel laid, that the parfonage houfe
had been • ccupied by the late Mr. Houlton, the par-
fon of the living, who had laid out a good deal of
money there, until the time of his death, which took
place in the month of Decenher, iflos ; that there-
upon Mr. 1-I,,ulton, his the prefect occupier, took
pordli-in, and now c.-intinued in the fame ; at .d there-
fore, he contended, that as the Defendant was not
wilt lly non.refiLlent, this anion could not be fuftain
ed. floe pro enive lkenfe of the Bishop, he faid, ex
pired in f tnwity, 1806 and as Mr. Houlton conti-
nued the p (Eft .n of the bottle after his father's death.
ft was Impoffible the Defendant could go them to
refiJe, or that the neceffary forms of law could be
gone thrungh to get Mr. Houlton nut, before the
anion was brought. To prove this, John Honhon,
Efq. was called, who faid, that upon his father's
death, he to, k poltedion of the patronage houre, and
that he continued to occupy the fame until Lady day
on his father's conttad ; but that then there
was a new contra& between him and the Defendant
at an increased rent ; which the LearneirCounfel itts-
me.tiately admitted deftroyed the whole of his de-
fence—and a verdie was found in favour of the
Plaintiff for pl. t6s. Bd. one 3d of the vales of the
living, and sots.

A few days fince as the only fon of Mr. Stevens,
of DAvnham-market, was angling, near Dm/salient-
bridge, he fell into the river, and was drowned, in
pretencr leveral pertains, who horn the rapidity of
the Itteem could afford no afiiflance.
