...When the Incumbent die, the Bishop his the power of appoint-

• Dr. Doyle elsewhere states, there Is almost in every diocese in
'keine a sum Geed more by usage than by a positive regulation;
as to a SUM to be paid witen;s marriage is celebrated, a pauper
pall nothing at all; a person in little better circumstances pays for
.r.ctance ss. ; one little more advanced in circumstances may pay
vety often IS,. 3d., sometimes a guinea. Ido not know that
diocese
in Ireland any person, of whatsoever rank he may be,
rids or poor, can be obliged, by usage, to pay more than
a guinea; but it often happens that an opulent person being mat•
tied gives more tban that.
