PARLIAMENTARY PAPMI.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

The Return of the Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church
of St. Peter, Westminster, to the order of the lionourahlc
House of Commons, dated 16th .larch, 1626, for an account

of the sums charged by the Dean and Chapter of 'Westmin-
ster, for the admission of each visiter to view the public mo.
numents in that Abbey ; the total amount received from
that source, in each year, for the last five years, and how
the same has been appropriated

The Dean and Chapter of ‘Veitminster are unable to make

the precise return described in the order of your Honourable
House. The order requires tor nceennt of the sums charged
for admission to view the " Public Monuments" in the Ab-
bey. But no charge has ever been made for viewing the
" Public Monuments," as distinguished from the private.
ones. The whole are viewed together for a fixed sum ; and
by far the greatest part of the Monuments are those of private
Persons; for viewing which the greatest part of the charge is
incurred. The Dean and Chapter, however,, having not the
smallest, wish that any part of the subject, shoold be Conceal-
ed, wio furnish such information as they possess concern-
ing it, "though beyond the wins of the order of your Hon .
House.

ht. As to the sums charged for the tulmi,y,ion of each visi-
e)r to view the monuments, prime as well as public, for the

last five years :

Before his Majesty's Coronation, In 1821, the whole sum
permitted to be charged, was Is. I Id. But the guides had ob.
tained additional gratuities froni the visitors, anti complaints
were made against these exactions. • When the church was re-
opened after his Majesty's Coronation, a new order was there-
fore made, and the utmost sum to be received was es., all com-
pensation to the guides being included in this snrri..
This regulation, under which less was paid by the public
than before, was continued till June, 1825, when the sum was
lowered to Is. 3:1,

3d. How the same hits been appropriated :

• • •
All the above sums have been received by the Wrier canons,
and the gentlemen of the choir ; 'anti divided among them-
selves, after portions allowed to the officers at the chnir ; the
Dean and Chapter neither ;interfering, nor knowing when the
division was made.
• This grant was mile to the choir in the year 1697, on the
condition that, receiving the benefits from the exhibition of the
monuments, they should keep the monuments always clean.—
This, however, had not been done, and when the Dean and
Chapter wished, after his lilajeaty's:coronation, to give to the'
Abbey ai much beauty as possible, they eleaned all the mti-
numents at their own private expense, with the sole excep-
tion of the royal monuments, which were subsequently repaired
and cleaned, without any agency of the Dean and Chaptt.r, a;ha
only knew the amountof the charge fbr that work from the list
of contingencies lately submitted to Parliament.
The Dean anti Chapter have made the ataiVe statement,
in order to meet the wishes of your llonour.,i,le mow.
They will now beg leave to ay a tow words on behalf of
themselvt.m.
They would humbly reprettent, that their church is en-
titled-to its share of the general favour and protection given
by law and usage to the Church of England at large, and that
it has its common rights, which it must always be anxious to
preerve. • •
Ist i$ t resent farther to your
heir duty and their pride to rep
Honourable House, that they have the honour to hold their
Church under a special Charter, granted by the benevolence of
the Crown. In this Charter, Queen Elizabeth has, of her
free bounty, conferred the Church on the Dean and Chapter
for ever, and has subjected it to their sole and lawful ma-
nagement.
And farther, their founder lute not only empowered, but TO.
quired them to defend the privilege sod immunities which
she has thus bestowed upon them, against all aggression or en-
croachment. By Order of the Dean and Chapter, -
