SUSSEX,
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1835.
The Lord's Commissioners of the Great Seal have been pleased to appoint Thomas Greene, of Chichester, Gentleman, to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery.
Captain Pechell's and the Earl of Surrey's Bills for the amendment of the Law as to the Titheing of Turnips in certain cases, and for the more easy recovery of tithes, passed the House of Commons on Wednesday night; and on the motion of the Duke of Richmond, were both read the first time in the Lords on Thursday.—The Tithe of Turnip Bill declares that turnips pecked up or otherwise severed for the use of sheep and cattle, and consumed on the same land where they were produced, shall be liable only to the tithe of agistment, in like manner as turnips that are fed off unsevered.—This Bill Will completely meet the case complained of in the Petersfield and Sussex petition, in the cause of Kemp v. Pechell.—The Tithe Recovery Bill provides, that no suit or complaint for tithes under the value of 10l. yearly, shall be taken into the Ecclesiastical or any superior Court, but shall be determined before two Magistrates; the case above alluded to having been carried into the court of Exchequer, the defendant to the payment of costs, amounting to nearly 400l., the value of the ties claimed been 3l. or 60 shillings! although one of the council and the solicitors acted gratuitously for the defendant.
