RECTORY OF BISHOPWEARMOFTH..

The CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQUER having
moved the committee of supply,
Mr. HORSIIAN Interposed to put a question to the noble
lord (J. Russell.) He believed since the noble lord
answered • question put by him (Mr. Borman)
MOM days tato, he had received • oomanutioation
from the Bishop of Durham, revisiting him to cor-
rect some Inaccuracies into which, in that mower, the
noble lord fell. As the matter related to a subject in respect
to which he had given natio. of a modal, he should not refer to
it on this occasion, but that he considered it not only just to
1 give the noble lard the opportunity of correcting the inaccu-
racies to which he alluded, but that his attention should be
directed, before the disAmion on the motion came on, to
*stein other particulars in which the answer which had
been gives woe, as he had since been informed, neither
satisbotory nor correct. The subject to which be
referred wee the rearrangement la the distribution of the
revenue of the rectory of Bishopweennouth, and the facts of
the cue were these. During the last autumn this rich rot,
tory bonnie count by the demise of Dr. Well/dry, the late
incumbent, sad that event becoming known it wee supposed
that such • rodistributien of the temporal revenues of the
living woaid be made as should seem adequate provision for
the spiritual went, of the district. He (Mr. Herman) inquired
of the noble lad whether he could inform the house Hush

re-distribution of the temporalities of the rectory had been
carried into elect, and if so what wee the nature of it. The
noble lord gave an answer—not his own certaialy—hat
speaking is the information he obtained from the brief he
held in I,L hand at the moment, vie., a cenentanication hem
the Bishop of Durham, and if, as he beli:yed was the ease,
the information contained I. that brief was incorrect, the
noble lord had as much reason to complain as he (Mr.
Borman) bad. That answer involved four pants—first, it
refined to the gross income of the rectory ; secondly, to the
future income of the incumbent; thirdly, to the applica-
tion of the surplus sevenae ; and fourthly, the feeling of the
inhabiteata of the parish in regard to sub re-di:tributton, and
the manner in which it would affect their spiritual interests.
(Hear.) In each of these four points the answer he had re-
ceived from the noble lord woe, llt was sorry to say, not of
that accurate character which might have been expected.
With regard to the first point the noble lord stated that
the groat income of the benefice was 9.11001. a year. He (Mr.
Horseman) was informed that that was smodi under the mark.
That was according to the informatisn be bad re-
ceived. On the other three points, hewers, he meld speak
with more confidence. As to the seseni—the esithtg apart
a eertaia portion of the future income of the rear: to the
payment of curates, limiting the incase the inenathent to
1.2001. a year—he believed he was etarest in saying that no
such arrangement had or could have hew made. a
the minimum income which had been 'seared to the future I
ineambeat was more than 2,0001. a year. With such an in-
come, and in a parish of more they 30/180 earls, it would ap-
pear almost a matter of course diet the insambent should
keep durum, and of coarse, aloe, that he should pay them.
