1922.] Redemption of Tithe Rentcharge by Annuity. 737 



this preliminary charge wiii be 10s. plus nine times 5s., i.e., 

 £2 15s. Od. The amount thus paid will be credited to the 

 applicant as part of the office fee, calculated in accordance with 

 paragraph 19 of the Ministry's Instructions for Redemption, 

 Form No. 261/L.T., which will eventually be payable by him 

 before the order for redemption is made. 



On receiving such an application the Ministry will, in the 

 case of tithe rentcharge payable to the Welsh Church Com- 

 missioners, communicate with the Commissioners as regards 

 the amount of the annuity, and subsequently notify the same 

 to the applicant for his agreement. In cases where the tithe 

 rentcharge is not owned either by an incumbent or by the 

 Welsh Church Commissioners, the Ministry will itself suggest 

 to the applicant for redemption what, in its opinion, would be 

 a reasonable amount at which to fix the annuity and request 

 him to communicate with the titheowner with a view to obtain- 

 ing his agreement to the same, if possible. 



(10) Hedemption by Lump Sum does not require Consents. 



— Where redemption by a lump sum is proposed it is still 

 possible for the landowner to redeem without the consent of 

 the titheowner or any other person. In the absence of any 

 agreement as to the amount of the consideration money, the 

 Ministry determines the amount in accordance with the First 

 Schedule to the Tithe Act, 1918, the provisions of which are 

 explained in paragraph 4 of the Ministry's Instructions for 

 Redemption No. 261/L.T. 



(11) Redemption where Land has been taken for Public 

 Purposes. — Under Section 1 of the Tithe Act, 1878, as amended
