LONDON CLERGY BILL. •
The Order of the Day, for the third reading of
this BiU, being read ;
The Duke of NORFOLK said, he should move
that the Bill be read this day three months. His ob-
jection was to the principle of the Bill. was his
most anxious wish, that the Clergy, not only of the
metropolis, but of the whole kingdom, should re
ceive that maintenance, to which they were•iii• Heti,
as well by their exemplary condu& as their rank
and station in society. But the mode in which thi,
was to be &die in the present instance, was incon-
sistent with the principle of legislat.ors, which had
the most rigid regard to the rights of private pro.
perty. 1-le was willing and auxions, that die objea
of the Bill should be attained ; but it should he at
Cie public expense, and not by violation of private
property; a parochial tax, a deo ion from the es-
tates of individuals. Before the ri •tn of Charles 11..
tl,e C.srgy of London received a stieend of a cer-
tain suns in the pound, upon the rate of houses.—
That was a mode that kept the income of the Cler-
gy proportioned to the va.4.: of estates, and the
ri:e in the price of articles of consumptioit, and
other variation of circumstances. He wished it I'. au
conti• • so. But in the reign of Charles 11. tot:
nisei ii;pend, such as it now is, was commuted lot
the former increasing revenue. lie supposed, that
it was an advantage to the Clergy of that time ; the
sum fixed, he supposed to be larger than the former
revenues. But, however that was, the fixed stipend
was AJorml. From that time to this, estates have
been bought and sold in the city of London, sub-
jea to ties fixed imposition ; and every new pur-
chaser relies on the principle of our legislation, on
the faith of Parliament, that no partial change
shall be made in his property. He finds a particiilar
charg for the Clergy, fixed by law, and be expefts
that it shall remain the same. except as altered by
general universal laws. He would recommend
to their Lordships, to refit& what they were doing,
i (+aching o.is principle of English legadatioii.
• pi( scnt 1;11 is passed, will not every parochial
c!.:• , • :ILL., whose modes, or r• al .-•••o!),isition, is
inadequate to a decent livelihood, wit ir•t he also
come to their Lordships for a new income, levied as
a parochial tax, and nor as a g,:em-al tax upon
whole pu:slic He would put this case, and one
a ithin his knowledge. Abbey lands were granted
by Henry VIII. to a , the charge of 101.
per annum for the who did the .- of the
cure- The estate is now st arch 1001. per annum --the
clergyman, it is plain, has not a competency in ltd.
per annum. Shall he come m the proprietor of the
estate, and ask for a ......npeteocy I—that is, for the
whole 1001. per annum—and et, on the principle
of this Bill, he may do so—lie has their Lordships
sariaion to make this demand. For these reasons,
the Bill, alkaing the principles by which the House
had ever been governed as to private property, he
opposed the Bill. He besought the learned Prelates
I'4 to shew apy eagerness to violate the principles
of private property—he attributed no such design
to them ; bat lie would recall to their minds, the
!miner fate of prelates, who, governed by their fa-
pacify and ambition, had involved their order in ruin.
Lord GRAN run' said, he imagined the mouse.
and estates charged with the dues to the clergy of
the city of London had risen in value ; and he
thotiglit is only equitable, that the charge should
keep pace with that advance.
The Bishop of LONDONI rose to support the
Bill. He began with a most eloquent description
of the worth and merits of the clergy of the city of
London. He maintained, that their incomes were
not sufficient to support them with that decency
that became their situation : there were fifty livings ,
the highest of which was '2OOl. per annum; others
were of 1.501. and many only of 1001. per annum.
An Ad had passed their Lordships House, to en
force the residence of the Clergy. Many of the
London Clergy had no house en their livings ;
others had houses not inhabitable, fit only fur green-
grocers and coblers. It was his ditty to enforce
residence within the city. From the lation
and the value of houses, a clergyman could get a
house for less than 1801. or 11IM per annum. How
was this to be done with their incomes ? It
was all that most of them had. He could not
eaforce residence. It would be ruin to the
clergy of London, while their income; remained
as at present. They were, therefore, placed in a
situation of peculiar hardship. In seventeen years,
that he had the honoix of presiding over the diocese,
he had seen that no men's condufl could be more
exemplary than that of these clergymen. •He could
not, therefore, assent to the proposition of the No-
ble fluke.

The Duke of NORFOLK said a few words in
erpl.rnatinn. lie had declared his anxious wish to
make an ample provi:.irn I,r the Clergy; and had
deprecated only this mode of doing rt. as subversive
of the principles by which their Lordsl.ip. had ever
been governed, in their regard to the rights of private
prop-rty. •
The LORD CHANCELLOR, having left the
Woolsack, said, he was not willing that the Bill
should be read the third time now, nor postponed
for three months. He would propose, that it be
deferred a few days only, till Monday, that be
might svisfy his mind, if possible, that the objett
of the Bill, and the rights of private property, were
reconcileable in the made taken by the Bill. He
had traced the history of the revenues of the Lori.
don clergy. They were, atlirst, in the a.ape of of-
ferings on saints' days ; and were, on the average,
about 2e. 9J. in the pound, on rateable hou,e;
That was commuted for the present fixed
income. In following this history, he
foamd that the Legislature bad dealt by the Clergy
of Loehlon co principles peculiar to that part of its
