Coleridge, and Wightman discharged a rule, Regiervst
Wilkinson and another," which had been obtainedags of
two magistrates of the county of Surrey, calling upPot
them to show cause why they refused to issue a vcarrw
to summon one John Ashby, for the purpose of enforced,
the payment of a church-rate made in the parish of Dt"of
dington. The magistrates called for the producti9;loo
the rate-book, when they decided the rate was invalls,ta
the face of it, being defective in the title, which slalbe
that it was made in and towards the repairs ef
church and other incidental charges of the said perish the
hamlet." It was contended the case was not one for the
magistrates to have decided upon, but a question for is-
ecclesiastical courts ; consequently they ought to be,v_„i,
sued their warrant. The Judges were of a different
nion and discharged the rule, Lord Denman say.ing-i the
church-rate ought to be_ confined to the repsoshe_rateS
church, and those general purposes to which cburfor the
were applicable. The rate in question was inacre. of the
repairs of the church, ' and other incidental charges
said parish and hamlet.' The other incidental c
might be a poor-rate."
