Bishop
Bishop [fr. 'plokopoV, Gk. Biscop, Sax.], an overseer or superintendent. The chief of the clergy in his diocese or jurisdiction in England, Wales, or Ireland, and the archbishop's suffragan or assistant. A bishop is elected by the king's cong' d' 'lire, or license to elect the person named by the king, accompanied, by virtue of 25 Hen. 8, c. 20, by a letter-missive, addressed to the dean and chapter; and if they fail to make election in twelve days, the king, by letters-patent, may nominate whom he pleases. A bishop is said to be installed, and there are four things necessary to his complete title: (1) election, which resembles the presentation of a clerk to an ecclesiastical benefice; (2) confirmation, which cannot be opposed on doctrinal grounds: see Reg. v.

The bishop are the lords spiritual in Parliament: see HOUSE OF LORDS....

It was undecided, from1848 to 1902, whether this ceremony be ministerial or judicial, i.e., whether the archbishop can refuse to confirm. See Queen v. Archbishop of Canterbury, (1848) 11 QB 483, in which the Court of four judges was equally divided in discharging a rule for a mandamus to hear objections, on the ground of heterodoxy, to the confirmation of Dr. Hampden, as Bishop of Hereford. Since then objection has been many times taken to a confirmation:-to that of Dr. Prince Lee as Bishop of Manchester, in 1848; to that of Dr. Temple as Bishop of Exeter, in 1869; to that of Dr Temple as Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1896; to that of Dr. Creighton as Bishop of London, in 1897; to that of Dr. Ingram as Bishop of London, in 1901; and to th...
