consideration, we have satisfied ourselves that the same benefices and churches are fit and proper to be forthwith augmented, by the respective annual amounts stated in the last column of the same Schedule:

"And whereas your Majesty's Commissioners for building new churches, in proceeding to assign districts to certain new churches, mentioned in the said Schedules, marked A. 1. and 2., have appropriated to the incumbents thereof, respectively, the fees arising within such districts, whereby the emoluments of the incumbents of the several benefices mentioned in the Schedule hereunto annexed, marked D., will be diminished by the amounts of the annual sums, respectively, set opposite to the names of such benefices in the last column of the same Schedule; and it is, in our opinion, expedient, that compensation should be made to such last-mentioned incumbents for the loss so sustained:

"We, therefore, humbly recommend and propose, that there shall be paid by us, in each and every year, to the incumbent for the time being of each of the benefices and churches so described in the said four several Schedules, the fixed annual sum set opposite to the name thereof in the last column of the said Schedules, respectively, by equal half-yearly payments, on the first day of May and the first day of November in each year; and that the first such half-yearly payment shall be made on the first day of May next, except in the cases of the churches of Saint Thomas Bedford, Saint John Bradshaw Ovenden, Brierley-hill, Holy Trinity South Crosland, Trinity Darlington, Saint John the Evangelist Dukinfield, Saint John Golcar, Saint David Holmbridge, Saint Stephen Lindley, Linthwaite, Saint Matthias Liverpool, Immanuel Lockwood, Saint Mark Longwood, All

Saints Paddock, Saint Andrew Stainland, Christ Church Stannington, and Saint Mark Witton, contained in the said Schedule A. 1., the incumbents of which churches, respectively, shall on such last-mentioned day receive three such half-yearly payments; and except also in the cases of the churches of Barrowford, Saint Andrew, Saint James, Saint Peter, and Saint Philip Bethnalgreen, Saint Mary Birch, Saint James Briercliffe, Saint Paul Buttershaw, Saint Peter Coventry, Monk Bretton, Netherthong, Saint Ann Newcastle, and Saint George Sowerby, contained in the same Schedule, and in the case of Guisborough aforesaid, contained in the said schedule B., the incumbents of which churches, respectively, shall on such last-mentioned day receive two such halfyearly payments; and that the payments so proposed to be made to the respective benefices of Saint Paul and Saint James in Norwich, shall be in lieu of and in substitution for the annual grant of eighteen pounds herein before mentioned; and that in case of a vacancy in any of the benefices or churches contained in the said four schedules having already happened during the period over which the payment recommended and proposed extends, or hereafter happening on any other day than the first day of May or the first day of November, the amount payable shall be duly apportioned between the incumbent making the vacancy, or his representatives, and the incumbent succeeding to the benefice or church so becoming vacant :

"And we further recommend and propose, that nothing herein contained shall prevent us from recommending and proposing any other measure for making better provision for the cure of souls, in conformity with the provisions of said recited Acts, or either of them."
