§ MR. KINNAIRDsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is true that the Income of the Deanery of York has been increased; and, if so, when, and from what time; what was the reason for that increase, and out of what Fund was it made; and whether any record is kept of the names of the Commissioners who attend and vote at the meetings of the Commission?
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, the Income of the Deanery of York had been increased out of the Common Fund of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners £2,000 a year, by an Order in Council dated the 10th of May last, and printed in the London Gazette of Wednesday, the 16th of May. The reason for that increase was a report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and it was the fact that the names of the Commissioners who were present at any meeting of the Commission were recorded.
