COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE ill.
GREENWoOD V. BISHOP OF LONDON.
This was the case of the purchase of the advnwsnn
and presentation of the cnurch•living of Br onwelle
in Essex, which was argued at considerable teagth,
before their Lordships during the last T. rar. .ind
which was postponed for further consideration iu the
present Sittings.
Solicitor-General SHEPHERD maintained, that the!
improper purchase of a presentation in the Church
did not render the remainder of the covenant illegal.,
which contracted for the purchase of the adrowson.,
One part of tee contract did not impeach another.
unless separately considered they were b th illegal ;
the'purchase of an advowson was neither sim,nracal
nor corrupt, it was a commodity of batter, and no
cases existed which adjudged the purchase of an ad-
vowson void in itself, nor when coupled with the pur-
chase of the presentation. In confirmation of this.
opinion he referred their Lordships to the ease of
" Stevens and Wad," in Benlow, page 191, and crusted
various other cases, elucidating and corroborating
the opinions which were held by the Court in that'
case. The purchase of immediate presentation, he
apprehended, was done simoniacal, and he con-
tended, that illegality did not affect the second or
the third or any of the following presentations.—
In the doctrine of the case of 66 Henry Pigot," re-
ported in the 11th Coke, page 27, it was held that if
a covenant contained some illegal clauses, that cir.
cumstance did not affect the remaining clauses which
were legal ; and in the present case one thing pur-
chased was simoniacal, and another thing was per-
fectly legal, therefore the latter part of the contract
was not at all affected by the impropriety of the
other. Under those circumstances and decisions he
contended, that their Lordships would concur with
the Counsel on the part of the plaintiff.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGIIAN 1113AintRined with consider-
able ingenuity, that the exceptionable pert of the
contract was interwoven with the other, and conse-
quently the whole was illegal,—Judgment reserved.
