CLESTCAL MENDICITY.—The Lincoln Mercury
of yesterday nye :—" We are soured, with respect to the
incumbent of Heapham, whore wife's begging letters have
created some sensation, that prior to the late insolvency,
end when the lithographed letters were " bringing grist to
the mill," the incumbent was in the receipt of 2401. yearly
from Hr. Wilson, the occupant of the glebe farm ; that he
bad besides 21 acres of lead, which he cultivated himself,
and that he kept two male and two female servants, who re-
mained up to the time the sheriff's officer went to seize for a
debt whkh swept off the effects from the rest of the creditors,
their arrecunk to the extent of 2001. having been chiefly in-
curred in two years; there wassail for a pianoforte duemg the
time the begging trade was pia, forward. As the
nos, Nosy come, easy so," so the yielding' of meadkity
adage
www partially expended in extensive rabbit house whims.
Indepeudent et all this, there had been a dressmaker in
the house for six months prior to the segue, so that the wife
had bean no more careful than the husband of the grist that
was brought to the mat by the simulation of extreme
poverty. Now the incumbent of Heaphant has a hours,
"ardor, 21 acres of lend, and is in the receipt of the rental of
2401. per annum. Oat of this be hes to pay some 401. yearly
to Queen Anne's bounty, in liquidation of the sum borrowed
for the erection of the house, and 601. early in liquidation
of the debts so improperly Incurred. His income at the pre-
sent time cannot therefore be mach less than 2001. yearly—a
mats of e-mfortable poverty for which millions would gladly
azeitange their peeking.
