servants of the house where it was held, except at a place duly certified for the purpose.[74] But in 1855 it was enacted that these prohibitions should not apply to any assembly for religious worship either (_a_) conducted by the incumbent or curate in charge of the parish or any person authorised by him, or (_b_) meeting in private premises, or (_c_) meeting occasionally in a building not usually appropriated to religious worship.[75] 12. There are also special cases in which the right of an incumbent to officiate and exercise the cure of souls is actually superseded in favour of a chaplain appointed without his consent. Where a nobleman has a chapel within or attached to his residence he has the right to appoint a chaplain to serve it.[76] The chapels of public and endowed schools under the Acts of 1868 and 1869 are free from the jurisdiction and control of the incumbent of the parish in which they are situate.[77] Moreover, a bishop may license a clergyman to administer the Lord's Supper and perform services other than the solemnisation of marriage, and, subject to the direction of the ordinary, to dispose of the offertory and collections, in the chapel of any college, school, hospital, asylum, or public or charitable institution within his diocese; and where this is done, the institution and chapel are withdrawn from the cure of souls and control of the incumbent of the parish.[78] During the eighteenth and first part of the nineteenth century, before the Church Building and New Parishes Acts had afforded facilities for creating new parishes, unconsecrated proprietary chapels were built in various places, with the consent of the bishop of the diocese and incumbent of the parish, to meet the wants of overgrown town populations. These chapels can only be served by ministers acting under the licence of the bishop, (which he can at any time revoke),[79] and with the consent of the incumbent, which, though he cannot himself revoke it, is not binding on his successors.[80] Unless the incumbent waives the right to the alms collected in the chapel, they must be accounted for to him. The chapel is private property, and no one can claim to attend it as of right.[81] 13. The right to the cure of souls in a parish naturally carries with it the right of the incumbent to a voice in the erection of a new church in the parish and the severance of any portion of the parish from his benefice and its formation into a new ecclesiastical district or parish. The various modes in which these objects may be effected are mentioned in the note to Ch. I. § 6 above. The enactments on the subject provide opportunities for the incumbents of the existing parishes, which would be affected by any contemplated action in the matter, to lay their views and objections, if any, before the bishop and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners; but their views need not necessarily be accepted and their objections may be overruled.
