Rectory

RectoryEnglish law. Corporeal real property, consisting of a church, glebe lands and tithes.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Law
A rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society. The learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system.
Real
1) A term which is applied to land in its most enlarged signification. Real security, therefore, means the security of mortgages or other incumbrances affecting lands. 2) In the civil law, real has not the same meaning as it has in the common law. There it signifies what relates to a thing, whether it be movable or immovable, lands or goods; thus, a real injury is one which is done to a thing, as a trespass to property, whether it be real or personal in the common law sense. A real statute is one which relates to a thing, in contradistinction to such as relate to a person.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
Church
A temple or building consecrated to the Honor of God and religion; or, an assembly of persons, united by the profession of the same Christian faith, met together for all religious worship. Robertson v. Bullions, 9 Barb. 95 (1850). The civil courts have only to do with the rights of property. When a right of property depends on a civil court question, and that question has been decided by the highest tribunal within the religious organization to which it has been carried, the civil courts accept that decision as final. Relations of Civil Law to Church Policy (1875) Hon. William Strong; Watson v. Jones, 13 Wall. 713, 722-31 (1871).
Glebe
Ecclesiastic law. The land which belongs to a church. It is the dowry of the church. Gleba est terra qua consistit dos ecclesiae. In the civil law it signified the soil of an inheritance; there were serfs of the glebe, called gleboe addicti.
Tithes
English law. A right to the tenth part of the produce of, lands, the stocks upon lands, and the personal industry of the inhabitants. These tithes are raised for the support of the clergy.
