THE BISHOPS AND THEIR REVENUES'
Tne tollowine; letter has b en addressed to the
editor of the Harrowgate Herald :
r of
Str,—l read a leading article in your pap
Wednesday, Juity 30, containing some observatinus re:
fleeting upon myself.; and as I eviuently perceive thTi,
they are written, in no hostile spirit, I am sure you will
be glad to inserc the following remarks, which will dies''
pate the F rroneous impressions you have conceived frail
the imperfect statement of the Morning Herald.
" That paper, it seems, has published ' a scheme of the,
English bishoprics, as settlen in the year 1837' (it should
be by the Act. of August, 1836) with the resp,ctive
comes then assigned to them,' and adds a list of evenues
received by the Archbishops and Bishops in 1850, leaving
parties to infer that they may ascertain from the sums
thus set down for that year what is the real annual
come of each see. But herein lies the fallacy of thief
statement; it does not include the words of the Act
August, 1836, which assigns certain average annual
incomes' to the Bishops; it does not state that tile°
averages are to be drawn up at the end of every seven
years, the income of each year being fluctuating an
uncertain; it does not give the least intimation that all
conclusions as to the average annual income of an Arch'
bishop or Bishop drawn from the sum he may chance V"
have received in 1850 must needs be erroneous; lot
does it take any notice of the fact that the sums it has
set down for 1850 are the gross, and not the net revenues
of the respective sees for that year.
" The following facts relative to the revenues of the
see of Ripon will illustrate what I mean. On the first
creation of that see, in the year 1836, the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners arranged that one-halt of the income of
the Bishop should arise from a fixed annual pay Melt?
the other half depending upon the fluctuating produce o
estates, not yielding regular annual income, but sure
returns only as might accrue from time to time from the
'
renewal of leases for years, and leases for lives. 111°.5e
estates being chargeable with expensive annual reps,"..:
of staiths and floodgates on the river Humber; with the
payment of certain fees to officers connected with
see of Durham (from which those estates were severed),
who held their offices by patent; as well as with the
cost of all surveys and valuations incident to each re-
newel, were calculated to produce such an average sum'
after the payment of these charges, as would make up
by the end of every seven years the amount assigned to
this see by Act of Parliament. No surplus was andel'
peted, as there was in the cases of the sees of Ely end
St. Ateph; and therefore no surplus was required to be
paid to the Commissioners, as in the instance of those
sees. The earlier years of the septennial cycle, accord•
ing to this fluctuating arrangement, having been corellr
ratively unproductive, it was to be expected that the
latter years, including 1850, would exceed the average,
and thus make up the deficiency in the former Yeariii•
When, however, the balance vies struck at the enti°
the year 1850, the average net income of the see for,_,
preceding seven years not only yielded no surplus, b°
showed a deficiency of several hundred pounds, as the
writer of the article in the Morning Herald might bier.

for the refl,ctions upon myself in which you indulged'

will dissipate the erroneous and unfavourable impress-

London: Printed and Published by MURDO ci
No. 1.12, St. and, Printer, at The Sun Office,
Strand, in the Precinct of the Savoy, in the countf °
illiddleaez, Friday, August 16,1351.

The prosecutor, a captain in the merchant service,
was going along the Broad weed, in the city of Bristol,
about nine o'clock in the evening, when a person came
up to him, looked earnestly into his face, and said, "
it." upon which the prosecutor was struck down, and
his pockets rifled of his watch and some silver coins in an
instant. A bystander named Stevens saw the transac-
tion, and went and pulled one of the men from the pro-
secutor, but, thinking it a street row, did not clQtaia
th,m, aud they ran away. The prosecutor gave informs-
tion to :he police, and in about half an hour afterwards
went with them to the spot. While looking at it the
prisoner Parker went by, and a policeman told the pro-
secutor to go and look at him. Tho prosecutor did ser
and said to Parker, " I believe you are the man that
robbed me just now." Parker said he was not; but the
prosecutor took him to a lamp, and then gave him into
custody as one of the persons who had robbed him. The
other prisoners were not apprehended fur some time
afterwards, and in the interval the witness Stevens, wh°
said he knew Das is and Reed before, but not their
names, met Reed and conversed with him for some
time, but did not at tempt to apprehend him.
Rc-ed cross-exam inel this witness at some length, sod
attempted to ahoy', that there had been a quarrel be-
tween them.
The defence was that the prosecutor was mistaken in
the identity of Parker; that Stevens was also mistaken
as to the other two, and that the conduct of the latter
s: as so extraordinary that the evidence could not be re'
lied on.
The jury deliberated for some time, and then said
they could not agree; they were locked up for half an
hour, at the end of which time they returned a verdict
of Guilty.
Previous convictions against Parker for burglary and
Reed for robbery were then proved.
His LORDSHIP said he would consider what sentence,
to pass, and this morning he sentenced Parker and
Reed to be tran sported for twenty years, and Davis to
be imprisoned for twelve months and kept to hard labour. I
Thomas Davis,, 18, pleaded guilty to two indictments,
one charging him with burglariously breaking and ery
tering the house of Jumos Barnes, at Churcham, and
d
stealing therein three pairs of shots, his property; sod
the other charging him with hurglariously breaking and
entering the house of Joseph Kitchen, at Churcham, an
stealing therein a. pair of boots, his property, and was
sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard he
hour on each chi age, the second term of imprisonment to
commence at the conclusion of the first.
