hereafter be so certified; and shall not augment by lot any of greater value than 50%. till those shall have all received the said Bounty, except in the cases and according to the limitations expressed and contained in the rules at first given and established by our said royal predecessor Queen Anne; and except that on the representation of the Bishop of the diocese in strong cases of livings with laborious duty, but inadequate income, the said Governors may be enabled to grant more than one augmentation to livings of such description, as soon as they shall be drawn by lot."

That the said Governors may be enabled to give from time to time, and in such manner as they shall deem most proper, a preference in their augmentations from the Parliamentary grants only to livings fitly qualified, and not exceeding 2007. per annum according to the new returns, the population of which amounts to or exceeds 300 persons."

"That the said Governors may be enabled to give a sum of 2001. from their said original fund or 3007. from the said additional fund, to cures not exceeding the improved yearly value of 2007. fixed and certain, where any person or persons in order to obtain the Bounty will give 2001. or a greater sum in money, or the value thereof in lands or tithes, or a clear yearly rent charge or annuity of 157.”

22. March 22, 1824-5. That the said Governors shall proceed to augment without lot to the annual value of 501. all those cures which are fitly qualified, and do not exceed that value; and that so soon as all the said cures shall have been so augmented, they shall proceed to augment by lot those cures which are fitly qualified and do not exceed 607. per annum.

a The Governors allow interest at the rate of 21. per cent. only on sums allowed for augmentations out of the Royal Bounty, without any distinction as to whether the Incumbent resides and performs the duties or not. The interest is thus low for the purpose of rendering the Incumbent more diligent in providing a proper subject in which to invest the money appropriated; it being one of the original rules, that the augmentation be by way of purchase and not by way of pension. (See Rule 1.) The description of property allowed to be purchased is a house of residence, farm houses and lands, either freehold or copyhold, (where the fine is certain,) or tithes : and the Governors ex

The Governors also, upon the same principle, allow to Incumbents of livings augmented by lot out of the first 100,0007. granted by Parliament, interest at the rate of 21. per cent. only; and to the Incumbents of livings augmented by benefaction, or on account of population, (See Order 21.) out of the Parliamentary grants, interest at the rate of 47. per cent.-Hodgson's Account of Queen Anne's Bounty, 42. 46.

No interest on augmentations out of the Parliamentary grants is paid to Incumbents unless they produce a certificate that they either reside or perform their own duties; (See Order 19.) but this certificate has been some times dispensed with upon applications made by Incumbents, who have been rendered unable to reside or perform their own duty by illness, duly authenticated.-Hodgson's Account of Queen Anne's Bounty, 42.

N. B.-The first time of receipt of interest by an Incumbent of a living, it is necessary for him to send to the Treasurer, (Mr. Paterson, 68, Old Broad Street,) together with the proper receipt, a certificate under the hand of his Diocesan or the Registrar of the diocese, that he is the legal Incumbent, and the date of his collation, institution or licence.
