We are aware that We have formerly promulgated a law upon this subject. But this constitution is local, and has been enacted with reference to the Church of Mysia. It orders that if anyone should give or bequeath any immovable property to this church, the revenue from which is certain, and should add that it shall be applied to the relief of the poor (and Haloander adds also to the redemption of captives), the said legacy, inheritance, or donation shall, under no circumstances, be alienated. Where, however, the income from it is uncertain, and the building or vineyard which has been left is quite a distance from the city in which the church to which the said legacy or donation was made is situated, it shall then be permissible to sell the property. If the house or the land should be either within the city, or outside its walls, and the testator desired it to be sold and the purchase-money used for the redemption of captives, or the support of the poor, then the sale can take place in accordance with his will. Such a disposition is perfectly valid. If anyone, after having been sued, should not appear, he shall be condemned as having a bad case, where he has first been summoned, brought into court, and lawfully called, and does not obey the notice.
