About This Item
London:: Assigns of Richard and Edward Atkyns for Richard Sark and Joseph Hindmarsh,, 1695.. 8vo.2 parts in 1 vol.. A8[-A1, imprimatur leaf], a8, B-2F7 [-F8 ads]. Full calf, banded, title on red morocco label, old signature on t.p. Minor wear to edges of spine and rubbing at corners. Lacks license leaf, text complete. Degge, Sir Simon (1612?Ð1703), judge. Degge resumed his legal studies and was called to the bar on 24 November 1653. He practiced as a civilian lawyer in Doctors' Commons. In 1660 he became puisne judge of Carmarthen circuit and two years later a justice of the Welsh marches. Both places he retained until 1674. In 1661 he became recorder of Derby and in 1662 steward of the court of the manor of Peverel. He was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple on 7 November 1668, but he was ÔdisbenchedÕ in 1674 for refusing to read at the next Lent vacation. He was knighted on 2 March 1670. Degge served as high sheriff of Derbyshire in 1674Ð5 and the following year published The Parson's Counsellor, with Law of Tithes or Tithing, a leading textbook on the subject for many years. Degge was a committed tory and during the reign of James II freely consented to the Ôthree questionsÕ posed by the king's agents. This led to some royal support for a parliamentary candidature in 1688, but it did not lead to Degge having any truck with dissenters as he refused to let Derby's dissenters meet despite the declaration of indulgence.
