MEMORIAL
TO THE RIGHT 11EV. THE LORD BISHOP OF
CLoGH ER.

We the Inhabitants of Castletilayney, in the Pariah of
!linden°, and County of Muitaghas, prnfewing the Protes-
tant Religion, and Members of the &talihalted Church, beg
leave to represent, with all respect and reverence to your
Lurdellip, that we did confidently hope that our numhei-a and
credit would have given us such a title to your Lordship's
attention and "intern, as to have procured for us, in the sue-
moor to the late Rev. Mr. Lendrum, all the advantages re-
sulting from a resident Rector, whose guidance and instruc-
tion in so many essential instances, must contribute to the
elblication and isepnovenersit of the Protestant Parishioners.

We h hiy enneeive that iwriodical duties within the
walls of the Parish Church constitute but a part of the duty
which devolves upon a Minister of the Gospel, and we there-
fore hoped that your Lordship, in the exercise of your dis-
tortion, would have preferred to the rare of this parish a
rmin qualified by residence, as each as by clerical abili-
ties, to di-charge all the duties of it.
- -

We also humbly conceive that a mere Citrate, uncertain in
his stay amongst us, is less likely to trouble himself about
our spiritual concerns than a permsurnl resident Rector;
and we tom-rive it to he a disadvantage of • serious kind to
have • succession of new instructors from time to time un-
dertaking the submit duties of a Pastor, as worldly specula-
tion or interest may lead to new vacancies among the offi-
ciating Clergymen.
We humbly beg leave to state, that considerable expense
his lately helm (-mimed, to erect in our parish • suitable
Church; and that we see no reason, after 'mein 'hewn
s sound and honest seal in behalf of err religion, and of
the credit and welfaie of the Church, why we should be
eunsigned to driegated instruction, while the Div/waters of
every :s•rt, and those who profess the Reta•n Catholic reli-
gion, who are our fellow-parishioners, have their spiritual
iustruction provided for them by resident Pastors, of proper
gravity, weight, and respectability.
We beg further to state distinctly, and we mike this our
lennible remonstrance to your Lordship, as Bishop of the
iiocese, against the appointment of any non-resident Rec-
tor; and to assure yisu that it is our quiet and calm resolu-
tion never to submit to have our spiritual iesterests sem-
' teed to any temporal arrangements, the simple end and
purpose of whirls is to give so individual a considerable
income, at our expense, without our receiving from him that
return, iso complete spiritual instruction, to which we are
manbitably entitled as a right.
We humbly suggest that there can be no solid objection
opposed to the subject of our remonstrance upon the ground
of these being no glebe, as glebe grOund has lung since been
appropriated for that purpose, under the impression that
your Lordship would have carried into effect the plan long
since proposed and muds required, •auuely. that of equaliz-
ing the two allj g perishes, which are both precisely in
the some predicament ni nut having a resident Rector, al-
though excellent glebe-houses are is both parishes.
Under these reasons we humbly entreat your Lordship to
de us redressed, by appuuutung to the duties of this pariah a
resident Clergymais, and nut compel us to ►esort to the
only remedy which (without tumult ur litigation) we can
adopt, that of abstaining from all attention at the Parish
ttoteb, either by ourselves or Our families, 1111 lung as a

The particulars of this case have, already been
aniplc detailed. The question now V/314, whether
the Plaintiff, who is fay rector of the lowish of St.
lllotolph, A ltigate. lied a right to employ four sur-
veyors to enter the warehouses of the Defendants,
to know the value of the (.remises. and to thereby
make au adequate Indention of the tithes due P.
the Plaintiff'. 'ibis proceeding wino resisted by
the Defendants on public ground:, used they M! -
!eget,. that were souls a (lemma snowballed by
the authority and solemn decision of the Chan-
cellor, no Mall was safe in his priests click, but
was !amble to have his property invaded at the
'caprice of say tax or tithe-gatherer.. The Court,
however, granted the request of the Plaintiff, not
considering it to involve the consequences pointed
out by the Defenchnts.

Th; SOLICITOR-GENERAL this day stated to the
Court. thus the Defendants, fur wl he was
Counsel, had. sifter the most mature deliberation,
resolved in appeal to the Douse of Lords, from
the thcision given by his Lordship; as they were
extremely 'anxious that a question so interesting its
every view to the public should hr fully and im-
partially discussed, to set it for ever at real. Ile
wrs instructed to move, that his Lordship would,
iu the mean time, iosue an fader to restrain the
Plaintiff from inking any measures against the
I)efendritio pending the appeal. He wan 1111/1100s
that this mottos' should he granted, because the
Defendants had been served with notice that the
Plaintiff would this very day employ his surveyors
to enter the premises and make their valuation.
Th.. LORD CHANCELLOR-" When an appeal is
Once taken to the highest Court knows' in this
country. it is to be preowned that, on both sides,
there shall he 110 proceedings till the tribunal ap-
pealed to shall hare decided the case. To me it is
peculiarly pleasing and satisfactory that this appeal
lias taken place, as in a question of such vital im-
portance 1 shall have the satisfaction of knowing,
that if I am wrong. I shall he set right by their
Lordship. As a matter of course take your mo-
tion. for the Plaintiff must not proceed during the
appeal."—Motion granted.
