PRICE 18. * The following are the Names of the Gentlemen who favour THE JURIST with Reports of Cases argued and decided in the several Courts of Law and Equity:— AMONG the numerous questions which have been raised on Lord Tenterden's Prescription Acts, none has caused a greater diversity of opinion than the construction of the 2 & 3 Will. 4, c. 100, for "shortening the time required in claims of modus decimandi, or exemption from or discharge of tithes." It has been contended, that this statute has had the effect of making the mere non-payment of tithes by a layman, for the period mentioned in the act, a valid ground for exemption, although, at the time of the passing of the statute, such mere non-payment, however far it might have been carried back, did not of itself afford an answer to a tithe claim. On the other hand, it has been insisted, that the only effect of the statute has been to shorten the period of time required for proof of such a modus or exemption as was recognised by the law at the time of the enactment, and not to introduce a new title or ground of exemption. The principal case on this subject is Salkeld v. Johnson, which, having been before Sir James Wigram, (1 Hare, 196), the Court of Common Pleas, (2 C. B. 749), and the Court of Exchequer, (18 Law Journ., N. S., Exch., 89), has now, we understand, been referred to the Court of Queen's Bench by the Lord Chancellor, in whom the ultimate decision of the question is vested. In this case the plaintiff claims tithes, as vicar, from the defendants, as occupiers of land; and the answer thereto is, that the defendants have enjoyed such lands without payment of tithes, or money or other matter in lieu thereof, for the period limited in the statute. Sir James Wigram, in a luminous judgment, decided for the plaintiff. The defendants appealed to the Lord Chancellor, who ordered a case to be stated for the VOL.

Tindal, C. J., and Cresswell, J., certified in favour of the plaintiff; Coltman and Erle, JJ., in favour of the defendants. A case was then stated for the opinion of the Court of Exchequer, and their judgment was delivered by Pollock, C. B., for the defendants. It should also be stated that the same point was before the Court of Queen's Bench in 1843, (Fellowes v. Clay, 4 Q. B. Rep. 313), when Lord Denman, C. J., and Williams, J., were in favour of the exemption by mere non-payment; but Patteson and Coleridge, JJ., were of a different opinion. While judicial views are thus conflicting and uncertain on this subject, we shall content ourselves with laying before our readers the state of the law relating to exemption from the payment of tithes at the time of the passing of the statute, the provisions of the statute itself which bear upon the point, and a brief summary of the arguments advanced on either side. The statute applies to a modus, a composition real,. and an exemption from and discharge of tithes. At the time of its passing, a modus could be established by proof of its constant and unvarying payment from the time of legal memory; a composition real by proof of its existence by deed before 13 Eliz.; but an entire exemption from the payment of tithe by laymen could not be established by the simple proof of the non-payment of tithes for any period, as proof must also have been given of the legal origin thereof—that is, that the lands had belonged to one of the greater religious houses dissolved by Henry VIII, and had been holden by such house from time immemorial, discharged from payment of tithes. Mere non-payment was no ground of exemption for the laity, "modus de non decimando in laicis non valet ;" and, therefore, their defence to a PAPE |
