(1) As to an agreement for a composition, see Chit. jun. Contr. 2d ed. 370; 2 Eagle on Tithes, 20. It is good, though by parol, if for no more than a year, as it operates as a mere annual license to retain the tithe instead of setting it out in kind. As

sumpsit or debt lies on the composition.The common indeb. count suffices, see next form; but it may often be better to declare specially. The remedy is an action on statute, 2 & 3 Ed. 6, c. 13, for the treble value of the tithe, if the occupier neglect to set it out, and there be no binding composition, see Debt, "Tithes." A count on the statute and another count on a composition for the same tithe, cannot be joined in the declaration. This has been decided at chambers upon the New Rules.
