THE VICARAGE OF CAMBERWELL.

Lord ST. LEONARDS pre-ented a pe4ition from
the vestry of Camberwell as to the present state of the
vicarage and the law of sequestration. The noble lord
referred to the present state of the parish. The nuinb-r
of souls in the parish was 60,000, and the income 2,3001.
The vicar war so greatly in debt that he had absented
himself from the parish, and the revenues of the vicar-
age were now under sequestration. The duties were
performed by two curates, appointed by the bishop, who
had no power to give them more than 2001. a year
between them, and the petitioners prayed for a❑
-alteration of the law of sequestration. Lie thought
their lordships would be of opinion that every clergy-
man was bound to reside in the midst of his con-
gregation. Now what he should be inclm Al to propose
wry, that no clergyman should be Fable to arrest, but,
on the other hand, he would compel him to haul over
the whole of his means to a trust 'es for the benefit, of his

creditors, reservirg only so much as would enable Lim
to reside where his du its called him. An arrangement
of that kind would put an end to the practice f c•ergy-

-men going abroad in order to avoid arrest, and thereby
the interests of his parishioners and hia creditors wou:d
be adequately guarded,
Lord .I.)USGANNOIC vim very gl..d tlat !IFs rol.)1e,
friend had devoted his great powers to the consideration

of ibis most imperant question, and he entirely eon-
,enrred in thinking it was one which demanded the atten-
tion uf the Le2is!ature.

Lord REDESDALE likawise wag of opinion that
the evil complained of in the pAiticu presented that
evr:ing bad bec,:ime so pushing that it ought to be at

once dealt with.

The petition wac then ordered to lie upon the table.
