There are, however, some parts of the calendar which are not necessary
to be continued. These are the lessons for morning and evening prayer,
which, under our constitution are to be considered as matters to be regu-
lated by religious societies themselves, and not by law. The same may be
said as to the moveable feasts and holy-days, (excepting by custom, Easter

the Plaintiff shall become nonsuit, or shall discontinue his or
her Action, or in case Judgment shall be given for such
Defendant or Defendants upon Demurrer, such Justice shall be
intitled to the like Costs as he would have been intitled unto
