| BISHOPS FOUNDED
ENGLISH PEERAGE
And Accumulated FFGdt For
tunes in Good Old Days.

London, January 16.-Lord Decies,
whose engagement TO Miss Vivian
Gould, is the fifth holder of a peer
age whose founder was a clergyman.
The first Lord Decies was DR.. Will
liam Beresford, brother of the first
Marquis of Waterford, who, having
been Bishop of Dromore and subse-
quently Ossory, was translated to the
archbishopric of Tuam and raised 20
the peerage in 1872.
Bishops have in several instances,
especially in Ireland, been raised to
the peerage The fortunes amassed by
Irish bishops from the perquisites OF
their sees enabled them frequently to
be founders of families whose heads
were ennobled.
1t was usual in former days for
Irish bishops on the dropping in OF
leases to refuse to renew them unless
large fines were paid to them for the
renewals and relet on nominal terms
to members of their own families,
thus enriching themselves at the eX-
pense of the sees. Thus Archbishop
Agar, the first Earl of Normantown,
acquired forty thousand pounds by a
single renewal lease, and it is stated
he amassed from his ecclesiastical
savings four hundred thousand pounds
sterling.
