pointed in llis room. 20. Dilapidation or alienation. 
Lord Coke fays, that dilapidation of ecclefiaflical pa¬ 
laces, houfes, and buildings, is a good caufe of depriva¬ 
tion. 3/2//?. and quotes zcjEdw. III. 16. 2 Hen. IV. 3. 9 
Edw. IV. 34. But Dr. Giblon doubts whether the pu- 
nifhment was ever inflitted, and obferves that the books 
of canon-law fpeak of alienations only. Lind. 148. Un¬ 
der this head is to be cbferved, that though 21 
Hen. VIII. c. 13. declares the fir ft benefice void in law 
by induftion to a fecond ; and 13 Eliz. and 13 & 14 Ch. 2. 
declare that perlons offending againft them fliall be ipfo 
facio deprived, and 31 Eliz. makes inductions contrary 
to it utterly void ; yet if the perfons inftituted and in¬ 
duced continue to aft as incumbents, contrary to the 
provifions of thole ftalutcs, the ordinary may examine 
the matter, and declare the church void by fentence in 
the eccleftaftical court, V/atf. ch. 5 & 6. Cro. Eliz. 252. 
And fuch declaratory fentence is proper, if not neeeflary, 
where the bifliop intends to take the benefit of the lapfe 
voder 33 Eliz. c. 12. though not necelfary to the patron 
D E P 
or parifliioner refilling the plenarty. For where an aft 
of parliament creates an avoidance, no declaratory fen¬ 
tence is neeeflary. Otherwife, where the avoidance is 
created by a lefler authority, as an ecclefiaflical conftitu- 
tion. Thus, though the conftitutions of Otho and Otho¬ 
bon declare concubinage a caufe of deprivation ipfo jure, 
it is agreed that fententia declaratoria delicti is-neeeflary. 
Lind. 15. Ath. 46. And fuch declaratory fentence is alfo 
necdTary where the canons inflift excommunication ipfo 
fadlo. Gib. God. 3049.

where the prior incumbent was proved alive, was pu- 
nilhed by Othobon with the lofs of all benefices within 
the kingdom. Ath. 96. Gib. Cod. 781. 6. Violating a l'anc- 
tuary, was puniftied by Othobon with excommunica¬ 
tion, ipfo faEto ; and if fatisfaftion were not made within 
a limited time, with deprivation. Ath. 101. 7. Marriage 
and, a fortiori, bigamy.— Lind. 128. Otho. Ath. 38. By 31 
Hen.VIII. c. 14. a prieft keeping company with a wife 
was to fuffer as a felon. 8. Concubinage was puniftied 
by degradation. And by 31 Hen.VIII. c. 24. a pried 
keeping a concubine forfeited his goods, chattels, and 
promotions, and was to differ imprifonment at the king’s 
will. 9. Contumacy in wearing an irregular habit, 
after monition, was punifhed with fufpenfion, ab officio et 
beneficio, by archbifliop Stratford, which could only be 
redeemed by payment of a fifth part of the profits of the 
benefice for one year to the poor. Lind. 122. 10. Offici¬ 
ating after excommunication, without abfolution. Gib. 
Cod. 2049. 21. Keeping folemn fafts other than fuch as 
are appointed by law, either publicly or privately,

is puniftied with fufpenfion for the firft fault, excommu¬
