Telierday several perste* Inhabitants of the pub& Ott. Botolpb,l
Bishopegate, were wammosed before the Loma MAYOR, fog having
refused to pay the Church Mite demanded by the authorities in
that parish.
It appears that formerly the parish used to remunerate the Rector
for his religious labours with 6001. or 700 f. a year, and that in order
to oblige everzt buly to contribute more effectually to hi= comforts
the consent of the Parish to a Bill in Parliament was obtained
The Dill, which passed into a law, and is the 6th of George IV.
makes a provision of very considerable magnitude indeed for the
Bishop of Chester, the Rector; and newel of the Inhabitants opeoly
espress their disapprobation of the manner in which the money
raised by virtue of this Bill le disposed of.
The Bill also provides, that in case the sums of money mewed
and paid now shall not be sufficieut for the purposes intended, it
shall be lawful for the Churchwardens, in a public meeting, 'elflike
such additional mesenteric as will make up the deficiency of the
original assessment, or add the amount of such deficiency to thy
amount iso be raised by the neat succeeding assessment.
One of the inhabitants upon being complained against by
Vestry Clerk [or having refused to pay 21.55. Church Rate,
established by Mt of Parliament, requested to be allowed to
his obietakite.• if. stated, that the rate had been raised within a
years from 11001. or 700! to the enormous sum th 4,0001. per annum,
serest to be attributed to the interferes= of Lord Liverpool,
whose partiality sailikd the parish' with the new Rector, who,

levied, as the Act stated, to keep in repair the church and church-
yard, could be properly applied to the purchase of a law in a
sgoare for the Rector, and improvements therein, and yet sock
application had been made of the money assessed.
