Note, it is faid generally in fome books, that a verbal lease of tithes is not good. Others fay, that tithes may be granted for one year without deed, but no longer. Others diftinguish, and fay, that a grant of tithes even for one year is not good by way of leafe, but may be good by way of fale. Others, to the like purpose, affirm, that if the parfon agrees with the parishioner, that fuch parishioner fhall keep back his own tithes for a year, this is a good bargain by way of retainer; but if he grants to him the tithes of another, tho' it be but for a year, it is not good unless it be by deed. Cro. Ja. 613. 1 Roll's Rep. 174. God. 354. Freem. Rep. 234. 2 Brownl. 17. (d) And by the feveral stamp acts, fuch lease (for whatever term it is made) must be on a 7 s. ftamp.

In the cafe of the Archbishop of York and Dr. Hayter against Sir Miles Stapleton and others, Feb. 21, 1740; the archbishop was intitled, in right of his fee, to the rectory of Mitton in Yorkshire; and granted a leafe for three lives to archdeacon Hayter, who made a derivative lease to one Taylor. And this bill was brought by the archbishop and Dr. Hayter, for an account of tithes in kind, and to eftablish the cuftom of setting out the corn in ftooks. It was objected, that there is no foundation for this bill, becaufe Dr. Hayter having made a leafe to Taylor, is not intitled to any account, and cannot maintain a bill to eftablish a custom of setting out in ftooks or ftacks, which is a mere right. By the lord chancellor Hardwicke: I am of opinion, the bill to establish the cuftom is well brought: and that the person who is intitled to the inheritance is pro

(d) Tithes may be leafed; but a leafe for more than one year must be by deed, as they are not capable of livery and feifin, but lie merely in grant. 3 Bac. Ab. 338, where it is added, that, to make a leafe for a year good, it ought not to be entered into till after the corn is fown; for then fuch agreement is in the nature of a fale or chattel in esse, which needs no writing. A leafe of tithes by deed" for all the time the leffor fhould continue vicar," is good, as an estate for life, determinable on the event of his ceafing to be vicar. Brewer v. Hill, 2 Anft. 413.

perly

perly made a party, notwithstanding the tithes themselves were out in leafe at the time for which the account is prayed; for otherwise, it might introduce great inconveniencies by a collufion between the leffees and the occupiers; and that a bill may be even brought, without praying an account, to establish a mere right only, appears from the common cafe of bills for establishing modus's, And therefore I fhall direct an iffue to try the custom. 2 Atk. 136.
