THE CASE OF DR. JOHN JONES RESPONDENT , Upon the APPEAL of WILLIAM BEAW , &c.

THE Office of Chancellor , Principal Official , and Vicar-General of the Bishop of Landaffe was , and is an Antient Office , and has been antiently before the Reign of Queen Elizabeth , usually grantable , and granted to Two Persons , to hold for their Lives , and the Life of the longer Liver of them .

7. Septemb. 1671. Francis Lord Bishop of Landaffe , by Letters Patents under his Episcopal Seal , granted this Office to Dr. Richard Lloyd and the Respondent John Jones ; to hold to them joyntly and severally , and to the longer Liver of them . Which Grant was duly confirm'd by the Chapter of that Church , and accordingly the said Dr. Richard Lloyd , for several Years , by the Respondent's consent , quietly held and enjoyed the same .

20. March 1674. The said Lord Bishop died , and Dr. William Lloyd succeeded in that Bishoprick ; and upon his Translation to the Bishoprick of Norwich , Dr. William Beaw succeeded , and is now the present Lord Bishop of Landaffe .

June 1686. The present Lord Bishop of Landaffe , having in his Custody the Original Grant of this Office to Dr. Richard Lloyd , and the Respondent Constituted Commissioners to Execute the Office , and refused to admit the Petitioner to Execute and Enjoy the said Offices , as by Law he ought .

Whereupon the Respondent brought an Action at Law against the Appellant , and others for the Profits of the Office by them received ; which Action , by the Death of One of the then Defendants abated .

Afterwards , the Respondent brought his Bill in Equity against rhe Appellant , to have an Account of , and Satisfaction for the Profits of the said Office , to which the Appellant answered , and confessed the Patent and Grant to the said Dr. Richard Lloyd and the Respondent ; whereupon the Respondent proceeded to try his Right and Title to the said Office in an Action at the Common Law against the Appellant ; and at Gloucester-Assizes , on full Evidence , obtained a Verdict , and had Judgment thereupon .

That afterwards the Court of Chancery Ordered , That a Trial at Bar should be had upon an Action of the Case for Trial of the Title of the said Office ; whereupon , a Trial was had at the Kings-Bench-Bar ; and upon full and long Evidence , a Verdict was given for the Respondent , and upon the Importunity of the Appellant's Counsel , the Case was Stated , and Argued before all the Judges of the said Court of Kings-Bench ; who on Hearing several Arguments on both Sides , were all of Opinion , That the Letters-Patents and Grant made to Dr. Richard Lloyd , and the Respondent were good in Law ; and that the Respondent was well Intituled to the said Office for his Life .

20 Novemb. 1691. That the said Cause coming to be Heard in Chancery , on the Equity reserved in the Presence of Council on both Sides , the Lords-Commissioners were of the same Opinion ; and Decreed an Account to be taken of the Profits of the said Office , and the Respondent to be quieted in the Possession and Enjoyment thereof .

Which Decree , the Respondent hopes is Just ; and that it shall be Confirmed .
