c i e ECCLESIASTICAL PERSONS ACT 1843 Received Royal Assent: 2 October 1843 Promulgated: 5 July 1844 Commenced: 5 July 1844

AN ACT for ascertaining and defining certain Rights of Ecclesiastical Persons, Parish Clerks, and Schoolmasters.

Preamble Whereas by the spiritual laws and customs of this Isle it is declared of and concerning “All glebe lands pertaining to spiritual men, that is to say, bishop, archdeacon, parson, vicar, curate, or clerk, if their executors or assigns do sow any of the said glebe lands before Easter Day they shall have all such corn as is sown, with the profit thereof. Also, if either bishop, archdeacon, farmer, parson, or vicar, having leases of spiritualities, do depart this life after twelve of the clock upon Easter Day, their executors and assigns have ever been accustomed to have and enjoy all the profits of that year until Easter Day next ensuing, and shall find and see the cure served and discharged,” by the operation of which law parochial benefices have remained, and may remain, so long a time without an incumbent as to be injurious to the best interests of the parishioners, and, therefore, it is expedient to amend and explain the same.
