"We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in pursuance of an Act, passed in the session of Parliament held in the sixth and seventh years of the reign of His late Majesty King William

the Fourth, intituled "An Act for carrying into "effect the reports of the Commissioners ap"pointed to consider the state of the Established "Church in England and Wales, with reference "to ecclesiastical duties and revenues, so far as "they relate to episcopal dioceses, revenues, and "patronage;" have prepared and now humbly lay before your Majesty in Council the following scheme, for founding an archdeaconry of Manchester, in the diocese of Chester.

"And whereas by an Order of your Majesty in Council, bearing date the twelfth day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, provision was made that, upon the occurrence of the event in the same Order specified, (but which event has not yet occurred) a new bishopric of Manchester should be erected, and that the diocese thereof should consist of the whole county of Lancaster, then and now in the said diocese of Chester, excepting the deanry of Furnes and Cartmel :

"And whereas, although the said bishopric of Manchester has not yet been erected, it appears to us to be expedient, that such new archdeaconry of Mancehster should be forthwith founded:

"We, therefore, humbly recommend and propose, with the consent of the Right Reverend John Bird, Bishop of Chester, testified by his having signed and sealed this scheme, that there

shall be founded in the said diocese of Chester, a new archdeaconry, and that the same shall be styled the archdeaconry of Manchester; and that the said archdeaconry shall consist of the deanries of Blackburn, Manchester, Leiland, and Warrington, in the archdeaconry of Chester, and now in the diocese of Chester, but which will hereafter be in the said diocese of Manchester, and that the said deanries, and all parishes and places, churches and chapels, and the whole clergy and others, your Majesty's subjects within the same, shall be under and subject to the jurisdiction, authority, and control of the Archdeacon of Manchester for the time being, and shall be released and discharged from all other archidiaconal jurisdiction, authority, and control whatsoever, and from any jurisdiction, authority, or control in the nature thereof.

"And we further recommend and propose, that the said John Bird, Bishop of Chester, shall and may forthwith collate some fit and proper person to the dignity or office of archdeacon of the said Archdeaconry of Manchester; and that the right of collating the Archdeacon of Manchester shall be vested in the said John Bird, Bishop of Chester, and his successors Bishops of Chester, until there shall be a Bishop of Manchester, and that thenceforth such right shall be vested in the Bishop of Manchester and his successors for ever.

"And we further recommend and propose, that nothing herein contained shall prevent us from recommending and proposing any further measures relating to the said Archdeaconry of Manchester, in conformity with the provisions of the said recited Act, or any other Act; but more especially for the endowment of the said archdeaconry under the provisions in that behalf, contained in an Act passed in the session of Parliament held in the

third and fourth years of your Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to carry into effect, with "certain modifications, the fourth report of the "Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Duties and "Revenues."

And whereas notice of the said scheme has been duly given, pursuant to the provisions of an Act, passed in the session of Parliament held in the third and fourth years of Her Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to carry into "effect, with certain modifications, the fourth "report of the Commissioners of Ecclesiastical "Duties and Revenues," and no objection has been made thereto.

And whereas the said scheme has been approved by Her Majesty in Council; now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her said Council, is pleased hereby to ratify the said scheme, and to order and direct that the same shall be effectual in law immediately from and after the time when this Order shall have been duly published in the London Gazette, pursuant to the said Act; and Her Majesty, by and with the like advice, is pleased hereby to direct, that this Order be forthwith registered, by the Registrar of the diocese of Chester, and also by the person named in the Order of Her Majesty in Council mentioned in the said scheme, and in the manner therein directed with respect to the registration of the same Order for the future diocese of Manchester.
