it hid been the habit of the Legislature so to inter.
fere, from the earliest periods a our Constitution.—

stances from the reign of Richard the Second down
to the 36th of his present Majesty, in which the Le.

zealous in defending the property:of the Rectors,
seemed to forget- that there was &nether patty also
who were interested in the Bill—the inhabitants of
the parish. He did not wish to destroy the Church
property—on the contrary, he held it sacred, and long
may it remain so—but he had no objection that rt

none—but he had heard a greet deal indeed against
non-residence. He knew many persons of consider.
ation, who thought it extremely unjust that thema
luments which were derived from the sweat of the in.
habitants of a parish, should not be spent among
them in rational hospitality, in benevolence to de
poor, and that only a wretched pittance should be
allowed from it to a poor miserable Curate.
