~ General Observations by the Bishops to 
the different Queries. 
There is by act of parliament a suffi- 
‘cient power lodged in the Lord Lieute- 
nant and Privy Council, and the bishops 
of the several dioceses in Ireland, either 
to unite or disunite parishes, when ei- 
ther may be deemed advisable; and the - 
archbishops and bishops are enabled, by 
act of parliament, to form a district, or 
part of a large parish, into a separate 
parish, under the title of a perpetual 
curacy, by which means several large 
parishes in Ireland have been actually 
divided into two or-more separate and 
distinct parishes, 
The Board of First Fruits can aug- 
ment such livings by purchasing glebes 
and impropriate tythes out of the pro- 
‘duce of the first fruits, and twentieth 
‘parts granted fur that purpose by Queen 
Anne, and by assisting the incumbents 
-of them with money for the erection of 
+) MowitHix Mac., No.177, 
glebe-houses ; -but this fund is small and 
unequal to the effectual augmentation of 
such livings. There is also another fund, 
arising from charitable bequests of the 
late Dr. Boulter, primate of Ireland, and 
vested in the Board of First Fruits by 
act of parliament, out of which fund the 
Board is enabled to augment livings un- 
der one hundred pounds a year, by ad- 
ding so much salary yearly to the in- 
cumbent of such livings, as will make 
their annual incomes 100. 
There is at present no other made of 
improving such small livings, but these 
funds may be increased by the bounty 
of the king in parliament, so as to ren- 
der such small livings. capable of afford- 
ing to the resident incumbents the means 
of comfort, in- cases where the funds al- 
ready mentioned are insufiicient. 
It is apprehended by the bishops of 
Treland, that the present canon law, as 
hitherto exercised, is sufficient to re-
