[from Mills' Statutes, 1821]
[402] ISLE OF MAN, to wit.
Whereas the Terms appointed by Law for holding the Common Law Courts within the said Isle, severally begin on Monday, to the great Inconvenience of many Persons who reside at a considerable Distance from the Place where the said Courts are held, as such Persons are obliged to travel upon Sunday, to the evil Example of Society; for Remedy whereof, We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys of the said Isle in Tynwald assembled, do beseech your Majesty, that it may be enacted, and be it enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Consent of the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys in Tynwald assembled, That for the Future the several Terms appointed or established by Law for holding the Common Law Courts within the said Isle, shall begin upon TUESDAY next after the Monday heretofore fixed for beginning or holding each Term. And that all Precepts to be issued in Future respecting the holding of each Term, and all Processes for the summoning of Parties and Witnesses, shall be issued for Tuesday instead of the Monday aforesaid, any Statute Law to the contrary hereof in anywise notwithstanding.
And whereas by an Act of Vestry, holden in the said Parish Church of Kirk Andreas, the 19th Day of February last past, in Pursuance of public Notice given, to take into Consideration the State and Condition of the said Church, the Most Noble John Duke of Atholl, Patron of the Rectory of the said Parish, being present, and undertaking for the Right Honourable and Reverend Lord George Murray, present [403] Rector of the said Parish, it appears that the said Church is in a ruinous State and Condition, and that from the Smallness and Situation thereof; is incapable of any lmprovement or Addition, so as to accommodate the Parishioners with convenient Seats or Pews at the Performance of Divine Service in the said Parish Church; and that therefore it would be necessary and expedient to remove the said Church from the present Site thereof, and to build or rebuild the same, in or near the South Side of the present Churchyard, including in the new Site, for necessary Aisles about the same, a Part of the Rectorial Glebe, as pointed out by his Grace the Duke of Atholl aforesaid, at the said Vestry, and the Nave of the said new Church to be of sufficient Dimensions to contain two Aisles lengthways therein, and three Rows of Pews sufficient to contain eight Persons in each Pew, which by a fair Computation. will amount to Ninety Pews in the whole, or thereabouts, in the Nave of the said Church, besides a proper and sufficient Space or Room for a Font, and also for the Reading Desk and Pulpit, which are intended to be placed nearer to the Centre of the Nave than the same are at present.
And whereas it hath been conceived by the said Curate and Wardens, that the said old Church cannot be legally taken down and the said new Church rebuilt or built instead thereof, upon the new Site aforesaid, without the Sanction of an Act of Tynwald, and they have therefore solicited the Legislature to pass an Act for that Purpose. Be it therefore enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That it shall be lawful to and for the Rector or Curate and the Church-Wardens of the said Parish, for the Time being, with such Sidesmen as may be chosen in Vestry for that Purpose; and they are hereby required to take down, or cause to be taken down, the said old Church of Kirk Andreas aforesaid, and to build a new Church instead thereof, upon the new Site on the South Side of the Church-yard, and according to the Plan herein before mentioned, and of sufficient dimensions for the Purposes also herein before mentioned, and to apply the Materials of the old Church so far as the same may be useful, together with such Donations or Contributions, as may be made to forward the said new Work, towards carrying on and finishing the said new Church. And be it further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That all Costs, Charges, and Expences, over and above the said Donations or Contributions, which may be necessary for procuring new Materials, and for building and finishing the Nave of the said new [404] Church, be paid by the Quarterland, Cottage, and Intack Holders, within the said Parish, by a fair and equal Assessment to be made, levied, and raised by the Wardens and Sidesmen, in the usual and accustomed Manner, and at such Time or Times as they shall judge necessary, and that a fair Account of the several Disbursements be kept by the said Wardens and Sidesmen, to be produced when thereunto required. And that the Expences of building the Chancel of the said new Church be borne and paid by the Rector of the said Parish for the Time being, according to the Law and Custom in such Cases.
And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That when the said new Church shall be finished, and afterwards consecrated by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of this Isle, that the same shall be called, deemed, reputed and taken as and for the Parish Church of Kirk Andreas aforesaid, in all Matters and Things whatsoever, as fully and to all Intents and Purposes as the said old Church was or might have been, and as such be served, supplied, resorted to, frequented, made use of, repaired, kept up and amended from Time to Time, and at all Times hereafter.
And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That no Manner of Person or Persons shall presume to inter, or cause to be interred, any Corpse within the said Church, or within twelve Feet of the Walls thereof, on any Pretence whatsoever.

MY LORD,
Having laid before the King an Act passed at a Tynwald Court, holden at Castle Rushen, in the Isle of Man, on the [405] 6th Instant, and transmitted to me in your Grace's Letter of the 8th, intituled "An Act for the rendering more convenient to the Public, the Day upon which the several Terms appointed by Law, for holding the Courts of Common Law within this Island, shall begin: and also for taking down and rebuilding the Parish Church of Kirk Andreas." I am to inform your Grace that the said Act has been taken into Consideration, and it is thought well calculated to promote the Interests of the Island, as well from its Contents as from the Sanction given to it by His Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor General; I am therefore to return the said Act to your Grace, and am to signify to you His Majesty's Approbation thereof
I have the Honour to be,
MY LORD,
Your Grace's most obedient humble Servant,
PORTLAND.
His Grace the Duke of Atholl, &c. &c. &c.
At a Tynwald Court holden at St. John's Chapel, the 21st Day of April, 1800.
The before written Act of Tynwald having received His Majesty's Royal Consent, as signified by his Grace the Duke of Portland, Secretary of State for the Home Department, in a Letter directed to his Grace the Duke of Atholl, Governor in Chief of this Island, bearing Date the 24th Day of March last past, and hereunto annexed; the same was this Day published and promulged on the Tynwald Hill, according to the ancient Form and Custom of this Isle; as Witness our Subscriptions :

[406] ISLE OF MAN, to wit.
Whereas by an Act of Vestry, made at a Meeting of the Parishioners of the said Parish of Jurby, holden in the said Parish Church on the 8th Day of June, 1812, in Pursuance of public Notice given, for the Purpose of taking into Consideration the State and Condition of the said Church, (the Right Reverend Claudius Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man, Patron of the said Church, being present), it appears that the said Church is in a ruinous State and Condition, and that from the Smallness and Situation thereof, the said Church is incapable of any Improvement or Addition, so as to accommodate the Parishioners with convenient room, and that therefore it is expedient that the said old Church be taken down, and a new Church built instead thereof, in or near the South Side of the present Church-yard of Jurby aforesaid.
We, therefore, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys of the said Isle, do humbly beseech your Majesty. that it may be enacted, and be it enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys of this Isle, in Tynwald assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That immediately after the Promulgation of this Act, it shall and may he lawful to and for the Vicar and Church Wardens of the said Parish of Jurby, for the Time being, with such Sidesmen as may be chosen in Vestry; and they are hereby required to proceed and take down, or cause to be taken down, the said old Church of Jurby, and to build, or cause to be built, a new Church instead thereof, upon the said new Site, on the South Side of the said Church-yard. The said new Church to con- [407] tain the Aisle, and one Row of Pews on each Side thereof, each Pew sufficient to accommodate eight Persons, and not to exceed thirty-six Pews in the whole Body of the Church. And to apply the Materials of the said old Church in the building of the Nave or Body of the said new Church, so far as the same may be considered useful and proper, with such Donations and Contributions as may be made and collected for the Purpose of building the said new Church.
And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That all such Sum and Sums of Money as may be necessary over and above the Donations, Contributions, and Materials aforesaid, for building and finishing the Nave or Body of the said Church, shall be paid by the several Proprietors of Quarterlands, Intacks, Cottages, and Mills, within the said Parish, by a fair and equal Assessment, to be made and levied and raised by the Wardens and Sidesmen aforesaid, or a Majority of them, in the usual and accustomed Manner, and at such Time or Times as they shall find requisite and judge proper. And that a fair Account of the Disbursements in the said Work be kept by the said Wardens and Sidesmen, to be produced by them when thereunto required. And that the Expence of building, finishing, and completing the Chancel of the said Church, shall be borne and paid by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man for the Time being, as Patron of the said Church, according to the Law and Custom in such Cases.
And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That when the said new Church shall be finished, and afterwards consecrated by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of this Isle, the same shall be called, deemed, reputed, and taken as and for the Parish Church of Jurby aforesaid, in all Matters and Things whatsoever, as fully, and to all Intents and Purposes, as the said old Church was or might have been , and as such be served, supplied, resorted to, frequented, made, use of, repaired, kept up and amended, from Time to Time, and at all Times hereafter.
And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That no Manner of Person or Persons shall presume to inter, or cause to be interred, any Corpse within the said Church, or within twelve Feet of the Walls thereof, on the Outside of the same, on any Pretence whatsoever.
[408]
Whereas the Fees of and for the Public Offices and Officers hereinafter mentioned, are in many Instances unascertained and uncertain, and it is Thought expedient that the same should be regulated and fixed, We, therefore, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys of the said Isle, in Tynwald assembled, do humbly beseech your Majesty, that it may be enacted, and be it enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and, Consent of the Governor, Council, Deemsters, and Keys of the said Isle, and by the Authority of the same, That from and after the Promulgation of this Act, the several and respective Tables of Fees hereinafter mentioned and set down, shall be, and they are hereby declared to be, the lawful, fixed, and established Fees of and for the Public Offices and Officers therein mentioned, for and in respect of the Business, Matters, and Things in the said respective Tables set forth, and in lieu and in full of all Fees heretofore paid or payable for and in respect to such Business, Matters, and Things, severally and respectively; any Law, Custom, or Usage to the contrary hereof in anywise notwithstanding.

Provided, that Nothing herein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to entitle Witnesses to Wages in any Matter, in which they have not heretofore been intituled to Wages by the Law or Custom of the said Isle. |
And, whereas, by an Act passed in the Year of our Lord 1704, it is amongst other Things enacted, That the Masters of Petty Schools shall have over and above their Salaries already allowed, Sixpence quarterly from the Parents of every Child that shall be taught to read English, and Ninepence quarterly for such as are taught to Write; which Allowance is found to be altogether inadequate in the present Day. Be it therefore enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That from and after the Promulgation of this Act, the Teachers of the Parochial or Petty Schools shall be allowed to receive, over and above their Salaries, the Sum of two Shillings and Elevenpence a Quarter, for each and every Scholar taught to read English, and three Shillings and Sixpence a Quarter for each and every Scholar taught to Read and Write.
