DEVONSHIRE. 



A dec'sion took place at the late Devon 

 County Sessions, of great importance to 

 the clergy. A notion had been prevalent, 

 that, in consequence of a supposed deci- 

 sion at the Norfolk Sessions, in the present 

 depressed state of agriculture, a farm of 

 liind wa.s worth nearly nothing, and that 

 the tithe, being the oidy productive pro- 

 perty, was lo bear nearly all the parochial 

 burthenx. Resting on this case, the tilhts, 

 in a great number of parishes in Devon- 

 shire, have lately been charged to the 

 poor-rate in a highly-increased ratio, and 

 iiumerouH appeals were in consc<iuence 

 depending. The court, after the most 

 lull investigation, adopted this nrinciple. 



Devonshire— Cortiumll — Wales. 1 9 1 



and decided that out of the new charge 

 which had been attempted to be put on the 

 tithes, they should take only about one- 

 tenth ; thus reducing the tithes very nearly 

 to their old rate ; and that the remaining 

 nine-tenths shoidd be apportioned amongst 

 the estates against which the appeal was 

 made.
