broke College, (his Lordship's Domestic Chaplain) to the Chan_
. cellorship in the Cathedral of Down, with the Rectory of Bally

PERPETUAL CURACY or LANE END.—On Sunday the
Rev. I'. Brooke preached an exceedingly affecting farewell
sermon to a large congregation at Lane End Church. The
Reverend Gentleman has obtained the living of Wistaston, in
the county of Chester, and carries with him the best affections
of the flock which he is leaving. Thursday was the day ap-
pointed for the election of his successor, and a considerable
degree of interest was excited on the occasion. The candi-
dates were the Rev. B. Vale, of Stoke; the Rev. Thomas
Harding, son of S. Harding, Esq. of Willoughbridge; and the
Reverend J. Cawood, of Bewdley. The appointment for the
perpetual curacy is vested in 15 trustees; but it appears that
there were several doubtful votes tendered and objected to, and
after much confusion, two nominations were signed by two sets
of trustees, (each contending for having a majority of good
votes)---the one for 111 r. Cawood, the other for Mr. Harding._
The consequence is, that neither of them can be licensed by
the Bishop until a legal decision has been obtained upon the
validity of the disputed votes, in order that it may be seen in
which nomination the majority will
ultimately be found.—
