This gen- ?e t4kll drew ?6,000 a-year from the tithes of these 15 pariahes. These 15 parishes were served by 21 cler- ?' who had but about f70 a-year each, whilst this ? ?Propri&tor took ?400 a-year from each of them. e4?,) He mentioned this fact in order to show that ? ?Urch having been despoiled of its property, there M. ?t sufficient inducement to send young men to the CcuLje?es of Oxford and Cambridge to be educated for the tj?h, and, therefore, those that were educating for the ?? ?sorted to this college; and if a larger sum >ef Wanted for its use it would confer on a large part tft at country most important benefits. Strong and q4r ?elit representations had been made to her Majesty's 'v "Ilnient to increase the grant to this college and ije "?Jesty's Secretary of State for the Home De- |iarj had received the application with great cold- l?t ss and indifference. When he saw the great advan- t,??s that would accrue from such a grant, and the Wfi>* ?°?ts given for similar purposes to other parts qth l ? country he thought this college had a claim for a W r ll)eral grant. He found the two richly-cndowcd Univ ^Sities of Oxford and Cambridge received annually (from the public funds. The six colleges and M?sIUcs in Scotland received ?7,080 a-year. 'The '?L's and academics in Ireland £ 12,000. The 4 "d'?4 University received last year ?4,548.
