flees inadequately endowed. The limit to augmen'
tation imposed, which prohibits any augmented
benefice being raised beyond £2OO a year, is injudi-
cious. The places in which such augmentation is
most needed are where the Church population is
considerable. We recommend that the Ecclesi-
astical Commissioners in dealing with such cases
should be enabled to exercise a wide discretion.
" The following is a summary of the principal
recommendations made in this our report :
" 1. A further consolidation of diocese and a re-
duction in the number and (with one exception) ill
the incomes of the bishops. 2. A corresponding
reduction in the number of cathedral establish-
ments, so that they shall not exceed the number of
bishoprics. 3. A reduction in the number of arch-
deacons. 4. The suppression of all dignities and
offices in the dissolved cathedral corporations. 5. A
re-arrangement of benefices, to meet the exigencies
of the Church population, and a more equitable
adjustment of income to services. 6. That, With
a view to rearrangement, the duty be impsed upon
the Board of Ecclesiastical Commissioners of taking
the necessary proceedings for the union, division,
or alteration of benefices. 7. That the existing
powers of suspending appointments to benefices be
extended to all cases where for twelve mouths next
before the time of suspension Divine service shall
not have been performed, and also to benefices is
Royal or ecclesiastical patronage where the Church
population is under forty in number. In each case
provision to be made for such spiritual duties as are
requisite. 8. That an additional ad valorant talc
be imposed upon all benefices above £3OO a years
in which the Church population does not amount
to 100 in number. 9. That payment of the
expenses of providing the elements for the
Holy Communion, or for music in any churches
not cathedral, out of the funds of the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, be discontinued,
and that in no cases, except where the
parishioners are unable to provide for the services
of a parish clerk, shall a salary to a parish clerk he
paid by the commissioners, and that in such cases
the offices of parish clerk and sexton be consolidated,
if practicable. 10. That the expense of maintaia-
ing the ecclesiastical courts and registries be de-
frayed by the general fund vested in the Ecclesi-
astical Commissioners, and that the clergy be there-
upon relieved from the visitation fees. 11. That
the period for repayment of building loans from the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners be extended. 11
That the estates of all the capitular bodies, and
such estates of the bishoprics as shall not be silo'
cated for the endowment of those retained, 5b5
be transferred to the Board of Ecclesiastical Colt'
missioners. 13. That the surplus arising from all
property vested in the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
shall be applicable at their discretion for the suit
able augmentation of benefices inadequately ea:
dowed. 14. That, with a view to carry out ther
recommendations and others of a subordinate
character, and for the purposes of a more effeetilo
management of Church property, the constitution
of the Board of Ecclesiastical Commissioners be jay
proved, and its powers enlarged. 15. That the efs;
pense of converting leaseholds into perpetuities ut
diminished, and, with this object, that the ano/3
of purchase-money be ascertained, with such alters;
tions of the present system as have been suggests„
16. That increased facilities be given for leaelii;
lands belonging to the parochial clergy, and t.
the power to lease be vested in the Ecclesiaetica
Commissioners. 17. That the owners of 1111_
liable to pay tithe-rent charge be empowered to 1:10
deem their liability. 19. That provision be 0%,
to prevent ecclesiastical persons alienating er ?hat
cumbering by deed their official incomes. 20.1.ng
more stringent and summary powers of enforcing
residence be given to the bishops and ecclesiastics

courts.
