_Court of_ DELEGATES. This is the highest court for civil affairs
belonging to the church, to which appeals are carried from the
spiritual courts; for upon the abolishing of the papal power within
this kingdom by Henry VIII. in the year 1534, it was enacted by
parliament, that no appeals should from thenceforward be made to
Rome; but in default of justice in any of the spiritual courts, the
party aggrieved might appeal to the King in his court of Chancery;
upon which a commission under the great seal should be directed to
such persons as his Majesty should think fit to nominate. These
Commissioners to whom the King thus delegates his power, generally
consist of Noblemen, Bishops, and Judges, both of the common and
civil law; and as this court is not fixed, but occasional, these
Commissioners, or Delegates, are varied at the pleasure of the Lord
Chancellor, who appoints them. No appeals lie from this court; but
upon good reasons assigned, the Lord Chancellor may grant a
commission of review.
