[245] Matth. Paris, under A.D. 1240, has these words: “Cum ex auctoritatibus sanctorum patrum fructus ecclesiarum in certos usus, puta ecclesiæ, ministrorum et pauperum.” Mr. Fuller quotes the passage and thus translates: “That since, by the authority of the Holy Fathers, the revenues of the church were appropriated to the definite use of the church,” p. 139. There he stops, and omits, ministers and poor. The rectors of Reading referred to the tripartite division of their revenues, viz., to the church, ministers and poor. But it did not suit Fuller to give a fair, complete translation of the passage, because it referred to the tripartite division of the church revenues.

[265] It is important to note (1) that Edgar’s law gave the manorial priests a legal right to one-third part of the tithes; (2) that the bishops in apportioning the permanent endowment of the vicar-perpetual, by 4 Hen. IV., ch. xii. (1402), were guided by Edgar’s law in appropriating one-third part and selecting the small tithes, to which, if insufficient, they added a portion of the great tithes; (3) that the vicar, who previously held his position at the will of the patron, had by this Act obtained a freehold permanent position for life; (4) that 8,500 vicars now beneficed have been so circumstanced by Acts of Parliament.

[278] These parishes are united to other parishes. 41 parishes out of the 86 are united thus—
(1) Numbers 1, 6, and 23 = 4 parishes, are united under one rector, whose net aggregate annual income = £800; total population, 481.
(2) Numbers 2, 29, 40, and 47 = 7 ditto; rector’s ditto = £1,060 and house; population, 661.
(3) Number 3 and Bridewell = 2 ditto; rector’s ditto = £450 H; pop., 2,163.
(4) Number 4 and S. Peter-le-Poer = 2 ditto; rector’s ditto = £1,000; pop., 1,200.
(5) Numbers 5 and 30 = 3 ditto; rector’s ditto = £582 and house; pop., 432.
(6) Numbers 8 and 43 = 3 ditto; rector’s ditto = £680 H; pop., 474.
(7) Numbers 12 and 44 = 3 ditto; rector’s ditto = £568; pop., 1,200.
(8) Numbers 16 and 39 = 5 ditto; rector’s ditto = £810; pop., 272.
(9) Numbers 22 and 38 = 4 ditto; rector’s ditto = £840 H; pop., 285.
(10) Numbers 24, 45 and 46 = 6 ditto; rector’s ditto = £660 and house; pop., 297.
(11) Numbers 32 and 50 = 4 ditto; rector’s ditto = £600 H; pop., 360.
11 incumbents = 43 parishes = £8,050 = 7,163 population.
S. Peter-le-Poer and Bridewell included above are not in the Fire Acts.
The total incomes of the 37 incumbents from the 86 Fire parishes were in 1890, £22,852; aggregate population, 12,000.
By the revised Fire Act of 1804, £12,241 of the £22,852, comes from the Fire rates paid by the ratepayers of these parishes; the balance, £10,611, comes from ground-rents and house-rents of properties which belong to the incumbents of the respective parishes.
The average net annual income of each of the 37 incumbents was, in 1890, £642, for an average population of 572, or £1 2s. per head, including children.
(a) S. Michael, Cornhill, has over £700 a year from house rentals; (b) the present rector of S. Peter’s, Cornhill, has £2,500 a year from rentals of two houses on glebe estate, out of which he pays £300 a year net to S. James, Duke’s Place; he has also £200 from Fire Act; i.e., £2,400 a year for 196 parishioners including children.
