Litt. 300 a); one that has a parochial charge or cure of souls. 'The most legal, most beneficial, and most honourable title that a parish priest can enjoy,' says Sir W. Blackstone.A parson has the freehold for life of the parsonage-house, the glebe, the tithes, and other dues. But these are sometimes appropriated, that is to say, the benefice is perpetually annexed to some spiritual corporation, either sole or aggregate, being the patron of the living; which the law esteems equally capable of providing for the service of the church as any single private clergyman: see 1 Bl.
