A commijfion of review is a commifiion lomctimcs granted, 

 lu extraordinary cafes, to revile the lentence of the court of 



delegates ; when it is apprehended they have been led into 

 a material error. This commifiion the king may grant 

 although the Itatutes 24 and 25 Hen. VIII. declare the 

 fenteuce of the delegates definitive ; beeaufe the pope, a9 

 fttpreme head by the canon law, ufed to grant fuch commif- 

 fions of review ; and fuch authority, as the pope heretofore 

 exerted, is now annexed to the crown bv Hats. 26 Hen. VIII. 

 cap. 1. and 1 Eli/., cap. I. But this is not matter of 

 right, which the fubjeet may demand ex debit juflitix, but 

 merely a matter of favour, and which, therefore, is often 

 denied. See Appeal.
