ARCHES' COURT.

January 31.

FAULKNER v. LITCHFIELD AND STEARN. -THE STONE ALTAR CASE.

Sir H. Jenner Fust delivered his sentence in this case:"This is an appeal from a decree of the Chancellor of the Diocese of Ely, in the Consistorial Court of that diocese, in which Court an application was made on behalf of the churchwardens of the parish of the Holy Sepulchre, in the town of Cambridge, for a faculty to confirm certain alterations, repairs, and restorations which had been made under a former faculty granted for that purpose; and the prayer of the petition also extend ed to such other alterations and repairs as were not comprised in the former faculty. Now, it was on behalf of the churchwardens and minister that the faculty was prayed in the first instance, and the former faculty was granted to them but to the second application the minister was not a party; on the contrary, it appears that, after the citation was returned, he appeared to oppose the grant of the faculty, and therefore the question before the Chancellor of the diocese of Ely was between the churchwardens, on the one hand, and Mr. Faulkner, the minister, on the other, whether vicar or per

&c.

petual curate of the parish does not appear. The churchwardens to whom the former faculty had been granted, were Mr. Benjamin Jordan and Mr. William Ekin; but when the confirmatory faculty was applied for, Mr. Lichfield and Mr. Stearn were the churchwardens. The faculty was originally granted on the 25th of February, 1842, and by that faculty the minister and churchwardens were authorized "to repair the church, and, as to such parts thereof as had been rendered unsightly by injudicious repairs, to restore the same as near as may be according to the original design, and according to a design and plan deposited in the registry of the court," stated to have been made by a skilful architect. Now, under this original faculty the works were proceeded with, and had nearly arrived at completion, and the church was nearly prepared for being reopened for the performance of divine service, when Mr. Faulkner, the minister of the parish, appears to have received for the first time (as he states) an intimation of the intention to erect in the church the articles which are now the subject of discussion, namely, a stone communion table, and also a credence table; and Mr. Faulkner states, that if he had been aware of the proceeding he would not have allowed them to be erected in the church, but would
