DEANERY

Volume 5 · 75 words · 1797 Edition

the office of a dean. Deaneries and prebends may become void, like a bishopric, by death, by deprivation, or by resignation either to the king or bishop. If a dean, prebendary, or other spiritual person, be made a bishop, all the prements of which he was before possessed are void; and the king may present them in right of his prerogative royal. But they are not void by the election, but only by the consecration.
