See also:CONSISTORY COURTS , those ecclesiastical courts wherein the See also:ordinary See also:jurisdiction of the See also:bishop is exercised (see CoNSISTORY). They exist in every See also:diocese of See also:England. Consistory courts were established by a See also:charter of See also:- WILLIAM
- WILLIAM (1143-1214)
- WILLIAM (1227-1256)
- WILLIAM (1J33-1584)
- WILLIAM (A.S. Wilhelm, O. Norse Vilhidlmr; O. H. Ger. Willahelm, Willahalm, M. H. Ger. Willehelm, Willehalm, Mod.Ger. Wilhelm; Du. Willem; O. Fr. Villalme, Mod. Fr. Guillaume; from " will," Goth. vilja, and " helm," Goth. hilms, Old Norse hidlmr, meaning

William I., which appointed the See also:cognizance of ecclesiastical causes in a distinct See also:place or See also:court from the temporal. The officer who exercises jurisdiction in a consistory court is known as the See also:chancellor (q.v.), and he is appointed by patent from the bishop or See also:archbishop. All jurisdiction, both contentious and voluntary, is committed to him under two See also:separate offices, those of See also:official See also:principal and See also:vicar-See also:general; the distinction between the two offices is that the official principal usually exercises contentious jurisdiction and the vicar-general voluntary jurisdiction. (In the See also:province of See also:York there is an official principal of the See also:chancery court and a vicar-general of the diocese.) Since about the See also:middle of the 19th See also:century consistory courts have been shorn of much of their importance. Before the See also:year 1858 consistory courts exercised concurrently with the courts of their respective provinces jurisdiction over matrimonial and testamentary matters. This jurisdiction was taken away by the Court of See also:Probate See also:Act 1857 and the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857. They had also corrective jurisdiction over criminous clerks, but this was abrogated by the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church Discipline Act 184o. The principal business of consistory courts is now the dispensing of faculties. The See also:procedure in such is strictly forensic, for all applications for faculties, though they may be unopposed, are commenced by See also:citation, calling on all who may have an See also:interest to oppose. From the consistory courts an See also:appeal lies to the provincial courts, i.e. the See also:arches court of See also:Canterbury and the chancery court of York. Also, by the See also:Clergy Discipline Act 1892, a clergyman may be prosecuted and tried in a consistory court for immoral acts or conduct. Under this act, either party may appeal either to the provincial court or to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
