Advowson
Advowson [fr. advocare, Lat.], a right of presentation to, or the patronage of, a church or spiritual living; the person possessed of this right or patronage being called the patron or advocate (patronus aut advocatus), on account of his obligation to protect and defend the privileges of the particular benefice. An advowson is in the nature of a temporal property and spiritual trust. For the origin and history of advowsons, consult Mirehouse on Advowsons, pp. 1-6.There are several kinds of advowsons, viz.:--(I.) Presentative advowsons, subdivided into,Appendant.In gross, andPartly appendant, and partly in gross.(II.) Collative advowsons.(I.) A presentative advowson appendant is a right of patronage annexed to the possession of some corporeal hereditament. Thus, where an advowson has immemorially passed together with a manor or reputed manor by a simple grant of such manor, without particularly referring to the advowson, it is then said to be appendant, i.e., annexed to the demesnes of ...
Presentation
Presentation, the offering by the patron of a benefice to the ordinary of a person to be instituted to the benefice. It must be in writing (29 Car. 2, c. 3), and is in the nature of letters-missive to the ordinary.The sovereign, as protector ecclesi', is the patron paramount of all benefices which do not belong to other patrons, and usually presents by letters-patent (26 Hen. 8, c. 1; 1 Eliz. c. 1).As to other patrons, the right of presentation is sometimes confounded with that of nomination; but presentation is the offering a person to the bishop, while nomination is the offering such a person to the patron. These two rights may co-exist in different persons; thus where an advowson is vested in trustees or mortgagees they have the right of presentation, while the right of nomination is in the cestui que trust, or mortgagors, but the trustees or the mortgagee must judge of the qualification of the nominee, Mirehouse on Advowsons, 136.A bishop has, by Canon 95 (which abridged the period...

Next presentation
Next presentation, the right to present to an ecclesiastical benefice on the occurrence of the next vacancy. The purchase of the next presentation of a vacant benefice is illegal and void; and a clerk could not purchase a next presentation, even if the church were full, with a view of presenting himself. The sale of next presentations is now abolished and the transfer of rights of patronage of a benefice strictly regulated by the Benefices Act,1898, and the rules made thereunder, and further restricted by the (English) Benefices Act,1898 (Amendment) Measure, 1923 (14 & 15 Geo. 5, No. 1)....
Assise of darrein presentment
Assise of darrein presentment, or last presentation; it lay when a person, or his ancestors, under whom he claims, had presented a clerk to a benefice who was duly instituted, and afterwards, upon the next avoidance, a stranger presents a clerk, thus disturbing the right of the lawful patron; upon this, the patron issued this writ, directed to the sheriff to summon an assize or jury, to inquire who was the last patron that presented to the church now vacant, of which the plaintiff complains that he is deforced by the defendant, Termes de la Lay. It was, however, abolished, and recourse had to the action of quare impedit (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 27). But since the (English) C. L. P. Act, 1860, s. 26, quare impedit cannot be brought, an action in the King's Bench (formerly Common Pleas) Division of the High Court of Justice being substituted for it....
