Polayn, patroni eiusdem, in ipsâ canonicè institutus.-Southwark, 9 Oct., 1369.

1 By a canon made in the fourth Council of Lateran, A.D. 1215, entitled, "Quod nullus habeat duo beneficia cum curâ animarum" it is enacted that whoso having a benefice with cure of souls without dispensation takes a second shall ipso jure be deprived of the first. (Gibs, p. 903-5.) This canon was followed in the Arches Court in 1848 in a case of Burder v. Mason, I Robertson, p. 614. The power of granting dispensation to hold more than one benefice with cure has been reserved since the Reformation to the Archbishop of Canterbury and is regulated by Canon 41 of 1603. The statute law against pluralities is contained in stat. 1 and 2 Vict., c. 106, repealing Acts 21 Hen. VIII, c. 13, and 57 Geo. IV, c. 99, as amended by stats. 13 and 14 Vict., c. 98, and 48 and 49 Vict., c. 54.

1 A grant in commendam is where a benefice being void is granted to the charge and care of a parson to be supplied until it can be provided of a pastor; and this, according to Gregory's Constitutions, may not be for a longer period than six months.-Gibs., p. 914.

"The Vicarage of Warlingham belonged to the alien priory of Bermondsey, which, like the rest of the alien priories, was in the King's hands at this time. These alien priories were first seized by K. Edward I, in the year 1285, when war with France broke out. In I Edward III there was an act of restitution, but in the year 1337 they were seized again, and continued in the King's hands during the remainder of the reign of Edward III and the reign of Richard II. Henry IV restored some of them, but with a proviso that the inmates should be Englishmen, and that the "apport" or tribute formerly rendered to the parent monasteries abroad should in time of war be rendered to the Crown (Rot. Parl., III, p. 469). During the latter part of the reign of K. Richard II the parent monasteries were allowed to sell the estates appertaining to their alien priories, a privilege of which Wykeham availed himself for the purpose of endowing his two St. Mary Winton Colleges. By Stat. 1 Hen. V (Rot. Parl. IV, 38), their possessions were finally appropriated to the Crown.
