to be imbued with the rich particles of the more heavy fub- 

 ftanci's which are let fall during the (tagnant ftate of the li- 

 quid. This matter fnould be carried out in a dry time, 

 when the water has been wholly removed by evaporation, 

 and be fpread out over the grafs lands, particularly thofe 

 under the fcythe, as toon as poffible after the hay has been 

 taken off the ground. The benefit of a refervoir of this na- 

 ture, whether formed in the intention of flowing the land 

 below it, or of a pond for catching the mud, will com- 

 monly be in the proportion of its extent. And the coil of 

 it will have a relation likewife to its dimenfion?. It is fup- 

 pofed, that if the expence of one be ten pounds, and the 

 annual increafe of hay only one load, the farmer may well 

 afford to pay fix per cent, for the ufe of it. Therefore luch 

 refervoirs feldom fail to pay amply for the coft of preparing 

 them. In fome doping fituations they may be conftrufted 

 at a very trifling expence, in comparifon of their ufefulnefs, 

 when intended to be thrown over grafs lands, with a valve, 

 by which, when full, the liquid may be let off, in a fufficient 

 body, to fpread equally over the whole of the part to which 

 it is applied, and produce the full effect that is wanted.

 RESET, in Law, the receiving or harbouring an out- 

 lawed perfon. Hence a receiver of an outlawed perfon is 

 called a refelter. 



RESHD, or Resht, in Geography, a town of Perfia, 

 and capital of the province of Glnlan, built on the fhore of 

 the Caipian, and carrying on a confiderable trade in (ilk, and 

 other articles, with Aftrachan. The number of houfes, 

 which lie difpevfed, is eftimated at 2000. The heat in fum- 

 mer is hardly fupportable, and dangerous, when a particu- 

 lar wind blows, but happily it does not continue above a 

 quarter of an hour. The harbour is unfafe in ilormy wea- 

 ther, fo that the commanders of (hips generally preler that 

 of Lankeroon, a fmall port in the diftrift of Taliih, to the 

 N.W. of Reflit. Rice and wheat are cultivated in its vici- 

 nity ; 300 miles N. of Ifpahan. N. lat. 37° 20'. E. long.

 149,490 tomauns, and 9058 dinars. 



RESIANCE, Resiantia, in Law, a man's abode, or 

 continuance in a place. 



The word has the fame fignification with regard to lay- 

 men, as refidence with regard to eccleiiaitics. 



Glanville obferves, that in the ancient law, reliance pro- 

 perly fignified a difeafe, by which the perfon was difabled 

 from ftirring out of doors. Whence their ejjbin de reftantia, 

 was the fame as our effoiri de tnalo leclo. 



RESIANT Rolls, are rolls in which the reiiants of a 

 tithing, occ. are fet down. 



RESIDENCE, Residentia, in Canon and Common 

 Law, the abode of a perfon, or incumbent, upon his bene- 

 fice ; and his affiduity in attending on the fame. 



By the rule of the ancient canon law, beneficiaries are 

 obliged to refidence, without juit and neceffary caufe, and 

 efpecially without the conlent of the diocefan, under pain 

 of deprivation of their benefices. The original reafon is, 

 that in the primitive church none were promoted to holy or- 

 ders, but fucli as had a benefice in promptu, which they 

 were obliged to ferve ; fo that this fervice was neceflarily at- 

 tached to the orders ; and whoever was honoured with 

 them, at the fame time was obliged to perfonal fervice. 



Regularly, perfonal refidence is required of cccleiiaftical 

 perions upon their cures ; and to that end, by the canon law, 

 if he that hath a benefice with cure be choien to an office 

 of bailiff, or beadle, or the like fecular office, he may have 

 the king's writ for his difcharge. The intendment of the 

 common law is that a clerk is relident upon his cure. 2 lull.

Refidence is alfo required by ftatute 9 Ed. II. itat. I. 

 c. 3, called the ftatute articuli cleri. Thus alfo, by 

 21 Henry VIII. c. 13, commonly called the ftatute of non- 

 refidence, perfons wilfully abfenting themfelves from their 

 benefices for one month together, or two months in the year, 

 incur a penalty of 5/. to the king, and 5/. to any perfon that 

 will fne for the fame. And if any perfon or perfons (hall 

 procure at the court of Rome, or elfewhere, any licence or 

 diipeniaticn to be non-relident at their faid dignities, prc- 

 ber.ds, or benefices, contrary to this aft ; every fuch perfon, 

 putting in execution any fuch difpeniation orhcer.ee for him- 

 felf, (hall incur the penalty of 20/. for every time fo doing, 

 to be forfeited and recovered as aforefaid, and fuch licence or 

 difpenfation {hall be void. f. 27. 



Provided, that this aft of non-refidence (hall not extend 

 nor be prejudicial to any fuch fpiritual perfon as (hall chance 

 to be in the king's fervice beyond the fea, nor to any perfon 

 going to any pilgrimage or holy place beyond the fea, during 

 the time that they (hall fo be in the king's fervice, or in the- 

 pilgrimage going and returning home ; nor to any fcholar or 

 lcholars being converfant and abiding for ftudy, without

 of his houfehold tor the time being, the treafurer and con- 

 troller of the king's moft honourable houfehold for the time 

 being, attending daily in any of their honourable houfeholds ; 

 nor to any chaplain of any of the knights of the honourable 

 order of the garter, or of the chief juftice of the king's 

 bench, warden of the ports, or of the mailer of the rolls, 

 nor to any chaplain of the king's fecretary, dean of the 

 chapel, amner for the time being, daily attending and dwell- 

 ing in any oi their houfeholds, during the time that they 

 (hall fo abide and dwell, without fraud or covin, in any of 

 the faid honourable houfeholds ; nor to the mailer of the 

 rolls, or dean of the arches, nor to any chancellor or com- 

 miffary of any archbifhop orbifhop, nor to as many of the 

 twelve mailers of the chancery, and twelve advocates of the 

 arches, as (hall be fpiritual men, during fo long time as they 

 (hall occupy their faid rooms and offices ; nor to any fuch 

 fpiritual perfons as (hall happen by injunction of the lord 

 chancellor, or the king's council, to be bound to any daily 

 appearance and attendance to anfwer to the law, during the 

 time of fuch injunction, f. 28. 



Provided alfo, that it (hall be lawful to the king to give 

 licence to every of his own chaplains, for non-refidence upon 

 their benefices ; any thing in this aft to the contrary not- 

 withilanding. f. 29. 



Provided alfo, that every duchefs, marquefs, countefs, ba- 

 ronefs, widows, which (hall take any huibands under the 

 degree of a baron, may take fuch number of chaplains as 

 they might have done being widows ; and that every fuch 

 chaplain may have like liberty of non-refidence, as they 

 might have had if their faid ladies and miftreffes had kept 

 themfelves widows, f. 33. 



Legal refidence is not only in the parifh, but alfo in the 



parfonage
