`• TO hER MO'T GRACIOUS MAJESTY.
` We, your Maje=sty's Commissioners, appointed by *
commission under the great seal, bearing date the 10th
day of February. 1847, humbly offer to your Majesty
this our first report.
" We have been appointed by that commission to con'
sider the state of the several bishoprics in England and
Wales, and to effer suggwitions, with special reference
to the inooitiort therein graciously declared by your
M:jesty, thet a. treasure should he submitted to Perlis;
meal, for continuing the bidiepries ef St. Asaph and
Bangor as separate biehopi ies, and for estabiishing
forthwith a bishopric of eianchestee. and also, so son
as cenveaiently may be, three other additional bi-
shoprics,
According to these your Mejesty's directions
have, after considering generally the state of the save"
bishoprics in England and Wales, in the first instant's
addressed our attention to the proposed coetintlace °
the bishoprics of St. Asaph and Bangor as separate
bishoprics.
" Looking to the situation of the two diocesan cities
of St. Asaph and Bangor, and the nature of the country+.
we think it inexpedient to recommend an extension a
the general boundaries of the two dioceses; bat there ore
a few obvious alterations which would, in.our opinion,
tend to equalise the duties of the two bishops.
" We accordingly suggest, that the portion of the di°,
cese of Bangor now insulated in the diocese of Sail'
Asaph, being part of the county of a nbigh, and forwitg
the deanery of Dyffryn Clwyd, should be included in t"°
diocese of St. Asaph; that the diocese of Bangor she
comprehend the whole county of Merioneth, part,
which is now in St. Asaph; that the deanery oftrio",,,Ji
in the county of Montgomery, being a detached part
of Bangor, should coutiuue part of
the diocese , that t.

parishes now in the diocese of Chester; and thaetOoel s
small portion of the county of Salop which now WI—
part of the diocese of St. Asaph should continue sn.
mixed thereto, as containine. a Welch population. nb

having been already fixed, by order of your Aleies„„Slin-0

of the Bishop of Bangor should not exceed that ainelit's•
