Burial
Burial. Burial in some part of the parish churchyard without payment is a Common Law right, but not burial in any particular part of it. In order to acquire a perfect right to be buried in a particular vault or place, a faculty must be obtained from the ordinary, as in the case of a pew; or a man may prescribe that he is occupier of an ancient messuage in a parish, and ought to have separate burial in such a vault within the church, and such prescription implies that a faculty was originally obtained. The faculty, however, fails when the family cease to be parishioners. In Bryan v. Whistler, (1828) 8 B. & C. 288, it was held that an exclusive right of burial in a vault is an easement, and therefore cannot be granted by parol or by mere writing without a deed.Burial must not take place except after the Registrar of Births, Deaths or Marriages has issued his certificate of death or by order of a Coroner, see 16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 48. See CORONER.A clergyman may be prosecuted in the Ecclesia...

Delectus person'
Delectus person' (the choice of a person). It is an established principle of the Common Law that, as a partnership can commence only by the voluntary contract of the parties, so, when it is once formed, no third person can be afterwards introduced into the firm without the concurrence of all the partners who compose the original firm. It is not sufficient to constitute the new relation that one or more of the firm shall have assented to his introduction; for the dissent of a single partner will exclude him, since it would, in effect, otherwise amount to a right of one or more of the partners to change the nature, and terms, and obligations of the original contract, and to take away the delectus person', which is essential to the constitution of a partner-ship. So stubborn, indeed, is this rule, that even the executors and other personal representatives of a partner do not, in that capacity, succeed to the state and condition of that partner. The Roman Law is directed to the same purpos...

Chapel
Chapel [fr. Chapelle, Fr.]. a building either adjoining to a church, for performing divine service, or separate from the mother-church, where the parish is large, and then called a chapel of ease, for the accommodation of those parishioners who dwell at distance from the parish church. These may be parochial, and have a right to sacraments and burials, and to a distinct minister, by custom, though subject in some respects to the mother-church, 2 Inst. 363.In an Act of Parliament 'chapel' means a Church of England chapel only, unless word be used as in the (English) Parliamentary Registration Act, 1843 (6 & 7 Vict. c. 18), s. 23, showing that places of worship which do not belong to the Established Church are t be included. In ordinary parlance 'chapel' means a place of worship for dissenters, formerly (and more properly) called a 'meeting-house.'...
Church
Church, includes any chapel or other building generally used for public Christian worship. (Christian Marriage Act, 1872, s. 3)--The Church of England is a distinct branch of Christ's Church, and is also an institution of the State (see the first clause of Magna Carta), of which the sovereign is the supreme head by Act of Parliament (1 Eliz. c. 1), but in what sense is not agreed. According to Sir Wiliam Anson, the sovereign is head of the Church, 'not for the purpose of discharging and spiritual function, but because the Church is the National Church, and as such is built into the fabric of the State' (Law and Custom of the Constitution). 'The establishment of the Churchby law,' says Lord Selborne, 'consists essentially in the incorporation of the law of the Church into that of the realm, as a branch of the general law of the realm, though limited as to the causes to which, and the persons to whom it applies; in the public recognition of its Courts and Judges, as having proper legal j...
