English Ii,ing..
There are shout Loo liyings in Eng.
land and Wales. Of these nearly $50
are in the gift of the crawn. Prince Of
Wales. lord chancellor. bishops. chap
tiers. archd-acons. universities. recturs
and Wears as such and trustees. About
1000 others are n the patronage as IL
l.iO0t Of peers arl las To the rest of 9th
err titled persons. Although now and
again a nobleman's livings are sold. and
wen distinguished colleges have been
caught tripping in the matter of simonv,
1t is among the remaining 1850 livings
that almost all the traffic exists. Sta1is-
tics fail us here.
No doubt the majority of these 4.5oe
livings never ONE into the market. AMI
belong to patrons who recognize their
responsibility. What fraction of them
have been acquired as to patronage or
incumbency by means more or less faint
ell it is impossible 10 say. The clergy
list" for 1892. however, shows that there
are 5a3 livings where the incumbent and
the patron are the same person and 4a4
where both are of the same name. i
considerable proportion of the parson
patrons have. it can hardly be doubted,
become patrons in ordar to present them
selves. On the other hand. some of the
593 and a large number Of the 424 repre-
sent family livings." As to these, it
would be inaccurate TO say that the liy-
ing has been bought for the sake of the
parson, but in many cases the parson
has reel ordained for the sake Of the
