the Parish of Grace-Church street London for which house a rent of five pound yearly hath been reserved time out of mind in the third year of the King that now is by Indenture doth make a Lease for five years unto one Withers of part of the House and of the Shop rendring the Rent of five pound by the year at the four usual Feasts that is to say at the Feast of the Annuciation c. by even and equal portions And in the same Indenture it is further covenanted and agreed that Withers the Leassee shall pay unto Burrel the Leassor a hundred fifty pound in name of a Fine and Income the which said hundred and fifty pound is to be paid in manner and form following that is to say thirty pound yearly and every year during the said term at the four usual Feasts by even and equal portions the term of five years expired the said Burrel in the tenth year of the said King by Indenture maketh a new Lease for the term of seven years of the said part of the house and the Ware-house unto one Goff rendring the rent of five pound by the year at the Feast of S. Michael the Archangel and the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by even and equal portions And in the same Indenture it is further covenanted and agreed that Goff shall pay unto the said Burrell 175. l. in the name of a Fine and Income in manner and form following that is to say twenty five pound yearly during the said te●m at the said two usual Feasts by even and equal portions Dunn Parson of Grace-Church exhibiteth his Petition unto the then Lord Mayor of London against the said Burrel and Goff wherein he supposeth that Tythes are paid unto him only according to the rate of five pound by the year where in truth he ought to have an allowance according unto the rate of thirty pound by the year The Lord Mayor by the advice of his Councel doth call the said Burrell and Goff before him and upon full hearing of the said cause doth order the p●yment unto Dunn according unto the rates of five pound by the year and not according to the rate of thirty pound by the year whereupon the said Dunn doth exhibit his Bill of Appeal unto the Lord Chancellour of England in the Chancery wherein he doth make a recital of the Decree made and established by Act of Parliament in 37. H. cap. 12. and also of the case special as it standeth charging the said Goff and Burrell with a practice of fraud and covin in the reservation of this twenty five pound by year by way of Fine and Income and defrauding him of that which belonged unto him The said Goff and Burrell do make their answer and shew that the rent of five pound by the year is the ancient rent reserved and that they are ready and have often tendred the payment of their Tythes according to that proportion but it hath been denied to be accepted and they do take a traverse unto the fraud and covin wherewith they stand charged And upon this answer Dunn the Parson demurreth in Law And this case was first argued in the Chancery by Sir Francis Moor Serjeant and Thomas Crew on the behalf of Dunn and by Sir Anthony Benn late Recorder of London and Iohn Walter on the part of the Defendants The Lord Chancellour having called Sir Henry Mountague Cheif Justice of the Kings Bench Sir Henry Hobart Chief Justice of the Common Pleas Sir Iohn Doddridg one of the Justices of the Kings Bench and Sir Richard Hutton one of the Justices of the Common Pleas to be his Assistants and after two Arguments heard on each side in the Chancery upon Suit made to the King by Sir Francis Bacon then Lord Chancellour of England a special Commission was granted unto Thomas Lord Archbishop of Canterbury Sir Francis Bacon Lord Chancellour of England Thomas Earl of Suffolk late Lord Preasurer of England Edward Earl of Warwick Keeper of the Privy Seal William Earl of Pembrook Lord Chamberlain of the Kings houshold Iohn Bishop of London Bishop of Eli Sir Henry Mountague Sir Iulius Caesar Master of the Rolls Sir Iohn Doddridg and Sir Richard Hutton wherein there was a special recital of the question and cause depending between Dunn on the one part and Burrell and Goff on the other part and power given unto them for the hearing and determining of this cause and likewise for the mediating between the Citizens of London and the Parsons of the several Parishes and Churches in London and making an arbitrary end betwixt them whereby a competent provision may be made for the Ministers of the Churches of London and too heavy a burthen may not beimposed upon the Citizens of London with a command further that they shall certifie the King what was done in the premises And this Commission was sat upon at York-house where the case was argued at several times by Sir Randal Crew and Sir Henry Finch Serjeants of the King on the part and behalf of the Ministers of London and by Sir Henry Yelverton Attorney of the King and Sir Thomas Coventry Solicitor of the King on the behalf of the Citizens of London and because the main Question remained as yet undetermined and no resolution is given either in point of Law nor Arbitrary end by way of mediation I shall only open the parts of the case and make a summary report of them without further debate of them The Case divideth it self into six parts that is to say First whether any thing can be demanded by the person for houses in London according to the course of the Common Law Secondly whether custome can establish a right of payment of any thing unto the Parson for houses and of what nature the payment established shall be Thirdly what was anciently payable by the Citizens of London for their houses unto the Ministers of London and how grew the payment Fourthly whether this twenty five pounds reserved upon a covenant by way of fine and income be a rent within the words of the Decree made 37. H. 8. cap. 12 Fifthly whether this reservation of twenty five pounds by the year by way of fine and income shall be adjudged to be a rent within the intent and meaning of the Statute an Decree or no Sixthly who shal● be Judge of the Tithes for houses in London and the remedy for the Parson in case that payment be not made unto him according to the Decree As to the first part which is whether by the Common Law any thing can be demanded for the houses in London It is to be agreed and clear that nothing can be demanded For that which the Parson ought to demand of houses is Tythes and it is improper and cannot be that Tythes can be paid of houses First in regard that houses do not increase and renew but rather decrease for want of reparations and
