IT was moved for a Prohibition to the Ecclesiastical Court, to stay a Suit for Dilapidations, by the Successor against the Executor of the former Incumbent, upon the late General Act of Pardon; for that all Suits for Offences of Incest, Simony, or Dilapidations, are excepted in the Act, unless commenced and depending before such a Day, (viz.) the 20th day of March last; and this Suit was commenced since.

The whole Court, upon Hearing of Counsel at the Bar and Consideration of the Matter, conceived, that the Parliament never intended to take away the Successors Remedy for Dilapidations; for that would be to ease the Executor of the last Incumbent, who was the Wrong-doer, and translate the Charge to the Successor: But they would intend this Exception of such Suits as might be in the Ecclesiastical Court ex Officio against the Dilapidator himself, to punish it as a Crime against the Ecclesiastical Law, and to pardon it, unless there were Prosecution before the Day afore∣said. And so the Prohibition was denied.

Nota, If a Sheriff of a County in a City be in Contempt, the Attachment is to go to the Coroner, and not to the Mayor or Chief Officer of the Corporation in such City or Town: And if the Offender be out of his Office, the Attachment shall be directed to the New Sheriff.
