The Revenue from First Fruits and Tenths 'is
communibus annis about 14,00°1. and the whole
clear Revenue of the Governors is annually appro.
prialed for the augmentation of Small Livings.
The nominal Capital Sums, standing in the name
,of the Governors in the Books at the Bank and South
Sea House, constitute the fund to answer art' appro.
priated Money unlaid cut
_in 'the purchase of Land,
which is the ultimate objet of the Instituticip, As
more purchases are found the sum in stock becomes
proportionably less, The Governors in their an-
nual appropriation consider not only their Revenue,
.but the public funds. If the price is so;high that
their capital will allow an appropriation in addition
to the one they make from their stated revenue, an
extra appropriation is made accordingly,
.the_sutplus
interest (I. e. the interest arising from the appro.
priated Money beyond the interest allowed the.
Clergy) constituting part of the fund- for that
purpose.
But if from any fall in the price there is an aanal
or probable deficiency to answer the appropriated
money Wald out, po extra appropriation is made,
and' then the surplus interest is• allowed td sink into
the capital, anti so becomes auxiliary, until the ca-
pital sum, through that aid, or arise in the Stocks, be-
tomes equal to the Money appropriated, and Ant laid
out in Lind:— Since ,3 786, 78z augmentations have
been'given by the Governors to small Livings in ad-
dition to those made from their annual Revenue.

There have been made by augmentations, each
' ing an appropriation of 2001. a bendador of
2001. being entitled to claim the, same sum.

The differenee.between 'this sum, and the balance
of the Revenue and Application (being i 68,3o61.80)
arises from considerable losses that have been un-
avoidably sustained at different periods by the fall
of Stocks, particularly in 'the Old South

nuities, great part of which were purchased above
par.
