Peirse and Bp. of Chester versus Regem, in Error:

After hearing Counsel, at the Bar, to argue the Errors assigned by Nicholas Lord Bishop of Chester and Richard Peirse, Plaintiffs in a Writ of Error brought into this House the Five and Twentieth Day of February One Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-seven, to which the King's Majesty is Defendant, upon a Judgement given in the Court of Common Pleas for the King, and the Affirmation thereof in the Court of King's Bench:

Judgement reversed.

After due Consideration had of what was offered by Counsel thereupon, it is ORDERED and Adjudged, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Judgement given in the Court of Common Pleas, and the Affirmation thereof in the said Court of King's Bench, shall be, and is hereby, reversed; and the said Lord Bishop of Chester and Rich'd Peirse be restored to all they, or either of them, have lost by Occasion of the said Judgement, and the Affirmation thereof; and further, that the said Richard Peirse have a Writ to the said Lord Bishop of Chester, that, notwithstanding the Reclaim of our said now Sovereign Lord the King, he admit a fit Person to the said Church, at the Presentation of the said Richard Peirse; and that the said Record and Process aforesaid be remitted before our said Lord the King, wheresoever &c.

The Tenor of which Judgement, to be affixed to the Transcript of the Record to be remitted, followeth; (videlicet,)
