LONDON, JULY 29, 1854.

THE case of Heath v. Chapman, very recently, and if we may add without presumption, very rightly, decided, draws attention to a singularly anomalous state of the law. What was decided in that case, following West v. Shuttleworth, (2 My. & K. 684), was this-that a gift for saying masses for the souls of the dead, whether of the donor or of others, is still a gift to superstitious uses, and void, notwithstanding the 2 & 3 Will. 4, c. 114. But the singularity is this. The statute of Will. 4 enacts, that Roman Catholics, "in respect of their schools, places for religious worship, education, and charitable purposes in Great Britain, and the property held therewith, and the persons employed in or about the same, shall, in respect thereof, be subject to the same laws as the Protestant Dissenters are subject to in England in respect to their schools and places for religious worship, education, and charitable purposes, and not further or otherwise."

Now this, strictly construed, as it has been, and no doubt ought to be, confines the additional immunity of VOL. XVIII.

CC

ference to founding, endowing, maintaining &c. a school or place of worship, &c., in reference to his personal conduct therein, or the employment of persons there, a Roman Catholic has in reference to his schools, &c. But there the immunity stops, and the act does not enable a Roman Catholic to devote money, either in or out of the schools or places of worship, to purposes not lawful before the act, and not rendered lawful by any other act. The result is this-that though a Roman Catholic may devote money to the sustentation of a Roman Catholic chapel, in which, of necessity, mass will be said, and in which, of necessity, therefore, not only the souls of the dead generally, but the souls of particular dead, will be prayed for by masses, yet he cannot di-. rectly give or bequeath money for the purpose of having masses said for the souls of the dead. What was the law before the statute, and what it is since, is well and shortly stated in a work recently published on the Charitable Trusts Act*. The author says

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

practices which the Church of England holds to be unscriptural, that principle should be either carried out consistently, or abandoned altogether. It is almost ridiculous to say that a law can be grounded on any such principle, which forbids the devoting of a man's substance to the direct maintenance of a custom deemed superstitious, and yet permits the devotion of it to the maintenance of means necessarily and intentionally applicable to keeping up that very superstitious custom.

OF THE LARGEST LOT*.

under which it has been decided, that bequests for establishing a Jesuba, or assembly for instructing the people in the Jewish religion, (Da Costa v. De Pas, Amb. 228); for the maintenance of Roman Catholic monasteries or other establishments at home or abroad, (De Garcian v. Lawson, 4 Ves. 433, note); for the purpose of maintaining Roman Catholic priests, (Gates v. Jones, cited 2 Vern. 266); to be applied to such purposes as a superior of a nunnery or her successor should judge most expedient, (Smart v. Prujean, 6 Ves. 560), are void. So, a bequest for masses, for prayers for a person's soul, (West v. Shuttleworth, 2 My. & K. CUSTODY OF TITLE-DEEDS - PURCHASER 684; The Attorney-General v. The Fishmongers' Company, 2 Beav. 151; 5 My. & C. 11), for disseminating Roman Catholic doctrines, either for the education of the children of the poor, (Crofts v. Evetts, Mod. 784; The Attorney-General v. Power, 1 Ball & B. 145; Cary v. Abbot, 7 Ves. 490), or for the purpose of maintaining a Roman Catholic priest, (The Attorney-General v. Todd, 1 Kee. 803; and see De Themmines v. De Bonneval, 5 Russ. 288), has been held void. However, by stat. 2 & 3 Will. 4, c. 115, which is retrospective, (Bradshaw v. Tasker, 2 My. & K. 221), except as to suits previously commenced, (The Attorney-General v. Todd, 1 Kee. 803), persons professing the Roman Catholic religion are put upon the same footing, with respect to their schools, places for religious worship, education, and charitable purposes, as Protestant DisNow, it is submitted that the above decision is not senters, subject, however, to the provisions of the so well considered as the opinions of this most excelMortmain Act, 9 Geo. 2, c. 36. This statute, coming lent judge usually are. The word "largest" ought after the 10 Geo. 4, c. 7, which relieved the personal certainly, in the absence of any qualifying expression, disabilities of Roman Catholics, has very materially of the word, viz. "biggest," but according to what, on to be construed, not according to the first vulgar sense altered the law upon this subject. Accordingly, it has a view of all the circumstances in which the parties been decided, that a legacy to be applied to the use of a were standing, and of all the circumstances which they Roman Catholic college, (Walsh v. Gladstone, 1 Ph. wished to provide against, was most probably their 290), and of Roman Catholic priests, (The Attorney-intention, regard being also had, but not too rigorously, General v. Gladstone, 13 Sim. 7; 1 Ph. 290), is valid. And it has been held, that a bequest enabling people of the Jewish religion to observe its rites is good. (Straus v. Goldsmid, 8 Sim. 614)."

From the cases cited, and from Heath v. Chapman, it will be seen that the law does not permit a Catholic to supply prayers for the dead directly; but it permits him to devote his money to do those things and to maintain those establishments, which being done and established, prayers for the dead follow as of course. Now this, we venture to submit, is a very absurd state of the law. If the ground of the law against superstitious uses were the protection of the Catholic layman against the seductions of his priesthood-if the object were to prevent his being charmed out of his property when in a state of bodily and mental prostration, to the disinherison of his family, one could understand a law which should throw that protection round him generally, and prevent him as much from endowing a chapel, or the priest of a chapel, as from devoting his property in any other way to the church. But that cannot be the ground of the law-we mean, that can not be stated as at this day the general reason of the law, because the law does allow a Roman Catholic in numerous instances to be open to the persuasions of his clergy to benefit the church at the expense of his family. Then, if we assume the principle to be the hostility of the law of England to the encouragement of

WE wish to draw the attention of our readers to the case of Griffiths v. Hatchard, (reported in the present number, p. 649, Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood's Court). That was a special case, brought to take the opinion of the Court as to which of two purchasers of two lots at an auction-the one the largest in value, the other the largest in extent-was entitled to the being held under one title, and sold under the inaccupossession of the title-deeds of the lands, the two lots rate though not unusual condition of sale, that "the purchaser of the largest lot" should be entitled to the custody of the common title-deeds, and covenant for their production to other purchasers. The above-named very learned and careful judge held, that this condition was to have the deeds. meant," the purchaser of the lot the greatest in extent"

dition. Now, if the expression had been that the
to the grammatical construction of this ill-drawn con-
"largest purchaser" should have the deeds, there would
or might be a choice between four claimants, each of
whom might truly allege himself to be the "largest
purchaser," viz. the purchaser of the biggest lot, the
purchaser of the most valuable lot, the purchaser of
containing in the aggregate the greatest quantity—not
the largest number of lots, and the purchaser of lots
to mention a fifth candidate, who, however, according
to the literal downright principle enforced in this judg-
ment, would carry off the prize, viz. the purchaser
who was the biggest man-whether to be ascertained
by a reference to height or weight, might introduce,
however, the expression being, "the purchaser of the
perhaps, a further ambiguity. In the present case,
largest lot," the number of claimants is reduced to two
only, viz. the purchaser of the lot largest in extent,
and of that largest in value; and the first thing that
strikes us, when we consider what the parties might
have meant by this expression, is, that they were pro-
viding for a future unknown event. It was not then
known which lot was the largest within their mean-
ing, but the exact quantity in each lot was known and
stated on the face of the particulars. The vendors must
have known that lot 51, "containing ninety-five acres,"
was larger than lot 1, containing but "ten acres;" but
they could not know beforehand that ninety-five acres,
«presenting several building sites," might not fetch
a higher price than one house and ornamental grounds.
If the vendors had intended that the purchaser of the

largest lot in size should have the deeds, they would have probably made the condition, that the purchaser of lot 51 should have them. That would probably, besides, have heightened competition.

The next consideration is as to the convenience of the decision. In the actual case before the Court, the application of the rule adopted was easy enough; but as a precedent (we believe it is the first decision on the point) it is extremely important, and when tested, by supposing the case of two or more plots of equal size, upon which are built houses of different styles, rates, or capacities, appears less commodious than the application of the measure of value.

It is to be observed that the present decision was on a special case, and that it was not argued between two parties, each claiming the title-deeds, but between one party claiming (and successfully) and the vendors, who occupied the position of mere trustees; and the views here submitted were not suggested to the learned ViceChancellor, nor did he allude to them, either as having no importance, or as being overborne by other considerations of more weight.
