England, in accordance with the directions contained in the same Act, which said sum is still remaining in the Bank of England, in the name and to the account as aforesaid, the same having been invested in the purchase of Exchequer Bills, and, together with the accumulated interest thereon, now amounts to the sum of eight thousand four hundred pounds:

"And whereas it has been represented to us by the Right Reverend Christopher Bishop of Bangor, and it appears to us, that it is not expedient that the said last-mentioned sum, or any part thereof, should be applied towards the purpose contemplated by the said last-recited Act; but that it would be more for the permanent benefit of the said see, to apply such sum in manner hereinafter recommended:

"And whereas the rectory of Llanddyffnan, with the chapelries of Pentraeth, Llanbedrgoch, and Llanfairmathavarmeithaf thereunto annexed, in the county of Anglesea, and in the diocese of Bangor, has, for a long series of years, been accustomably held by the Bishops of Bangor, as part of the revenues of the said see; and it is proposed by the said Christopher Bishop of Bangor, immediately to surrender and vacate the same, upon due provision being made for him and his sucessors in the said see, in compensation for the loss of the emoluments derived from the said rectory:

"And whereas it appears by the provisions of the said first-recited Act, that one of the purposes thereof was to prevent the necessity for the holding of such benefices by any bishop:

"And whereas an application, in writing, has been made to us, under the hand and seal of the said Christopher Bishop of Bangor, for the sale of the said Exchequer Bills, and for the appropriation of the produce of such sale in manner hereinafter mentioned:

"Now, therefore, we humbly recommend and propose, that the said Exchequer Bills, now standing in the name of the Accountant General of the Court of Chancery, in the books of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, and placed to his account there, exparte "the Bishop of "Bangor," shall be forthwith sold, and the produce of such sale shall thereupon be paid to us, and shall be reinvested in the joint names of the Bishop of Bangor for the time being and ourselves, in such Government or Parliamentary Stock, or other public security or securities, in England, as shall be approved by us, with the consent of the said Christopher Bishop of Bangor, or the Bishop of Bangor for the time being, under his hand and seal, and the same shall form part of the possessions of the said see of Bangor, and the dividends, interest, and annual produce thereof shall be received by the said Christopher Bishop of Bangor, and his successors; and that, immediately upon such reinvestment being certified by us, by an instrument in writing under our common seal, and such instrument being published in the London Gazette, the said rectory of Llanddyffnan, with the said several chapelries thereunto annexed, shall become and be absolutely vacant, without any formal resignation thereof by the said Christopher Bishop of Bangor, and the patronage thereof shall be and remain in the said Bishop and his successors, Bishops of Bangor, for ever:

"And we further recommend and propose, that nothing herein contained shall prevent us from recommending and proposing other measures relating to the several matters and things herein referred to, or either of them, in conformity with the provisions of the said recited Acts, or any of them."

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, and every part thereof, 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 Acts; 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 Bangor.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue and in exercise of the powers in Her in that behalf vested by the said recited Act, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that so much of the said recited Order in Council as relates to the weights and measures, according to which the duties of Customs in the said island of Saint Helena should be paid and received, shall be, and the same is hereby, rescinded and revoked; and that all duties of Customs, hereafter to be levied in the said island of Saint Helena, shall be paid and received according to the imperial weights and measures for the time being by law established:

And it is hereby further ordered, that the governor, or the officer for the time being admi
