MERGER of RENT CHARGES in lieu of TITHES (a).

TO ALL CONCERNED, WE A. B., of &c., and C. D., of &c. [proprietors of lands], send greeting: WHEREAS, by an award made in pursuance of the act for the commutation of tithes in

(a) Under the 6 & 7 Wm. 4. c. 71. s. 71. and the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 64. ss. 1 & 3. a tenant in fee or in tail in possession of tithes, or commutation rent charge in lieu of tithes, or any person having power to acquire a fee simple therein, or the tenant for life in possession of both lands and tithes, can, by deed to be approved by the commissioners and confirmed under their seal, merge the tithes, or commutation rent charge, in the land out of or in respect of which they issue.

By the 1st sect. of 2 & 3 Vict. c. 64. all charges on tithes which are merged under the acts, are to have priority over any charges on the lands at the time of the merger.

The 6th sect. of 2 & 3 Vict. c. 62. authorizes the merger of the tithes of glebe land, where the glebe and the tithes belong to the same person in virtue of his benefice; and under the 19th sect. of 9 & 10 Vict. c. 73. all powers relating to the merger of tithes or rent charge instead thereof, may be executed by any person entitled in equity to the same, but so that all the charges on the tithes shall be prior and primary charges on the lands and the owners thereof for the time being.

To remove all doubts on the subject, it is enacted by the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 64. s. 4. that the provisions of the acts in relation to merger, shall extend to copyholds.
