Suppofe the value of a church living be fixed at 

 iool. per annum, within the decennial period end- 

 ing at the year 1800 ; and it then appears that the 

 average price of wheat collected as aforefaid, is for 

 that period at 5s. a bumelj the value of the church 

 living is equal to 400 bufhels, or 50 quarters of 

 wheat. In the next decennial period ending at 1 8 10, 

 we will fuppofe the average price of wheat to be 5s- 

 6d. a bulhel: 400 bufhels at 5s. 6d. is nol. per 

 annum $ at which fum the value of the tithes mould 

 l>e fixed for the period commencing at the year 

 1810, and ending 1820: and fo proceed in the 

 fame order. The whole fum which each parifh or 

 tithing fhall be advanced or lowered, will thus be 

 regularly obtained at a dated period without trouble; 

 and the proportionate fhare of every eftate can eafily 

 be calculated by any fchool-boy. 



It will probably appear to fome, that it would 

 be better to procure or fix a ftandard or average 

 value for a period of ten years previous to the com- 

 mifiioners' valuation in the feveral parifhes refpec- 

 tively. This I have confidered with due attention. 

 Arguments may be adduced in its favour: but 

 upon the whole it will probably not be found pre- 

 ferable to the method before propofed.
