FREE SITTINGS IN CHURCHES.--By the church build-
ing acts, no new church can be consecrated unless one-
third at least of the sittings be set apart as free for the use
of the poor. Nor can any church be consecrated unless it
be first endowed with at least £l,OOO in the funds, or in
land. Any individual who shall declare his intention of
endowing a church with the sum required by the act, may
become, on his performance of that intention, perpetual
patron of the said church. There is always a check upon
improper persons entering upon a benefice, in the person
of the bishop, who will, upon just grounds, refuse to in-
stitute.
