Duties discharged frequently by the In - umbent, and constantly by a Cu- rate. Revd Val.

There seems to be no remedy to the evil of non residencc in this Curacy. N. B. The last collation of it was to the Curate of Drumcondra. Revd Chas Crawford; resident in Drogheda ; has cure of souls, end discharges the duties. N. B. That part of Drogheda, in which the Incumbent resides, is not in this parish. Revd Wm Sheir Hamilton ; resi- dent; has cure of souls, and dis charges the duties. These 3 Parishes were united by Act of Council 21 it May 1667. But the patronage not having been settled, a new Act was obtained i6: h Dec. 1800. Episcopally united. Immediately connected with each other, in this district, are 10 parishes, all impropriate in the Marquis of Drogheda, and of which he is the Patron. A new distribution of them, with a view to form them into permanent Unions, would be highly expedient. As Episcopally united, they now intersect each other, and to pro- cure residence is impratticable, as long as1 they continue Episcopally united or distinct, two years income of each separate parish being insufficient to build a Glebe House ; but the Patron's consent, as the Law now stands, is an essential preliminary. // s Meitth.] PROVINCE OF A R M A G H : I8C6. - 4- 5- 6. 7- Number of CHURCHES; Whether in Repair, and in whioh of the Pari( he J they ( land. • CLEBE HOUSES; • In what Parifli ;— what Glebe Lands.; Whether contiguous How far removed from each other, and from the Church, or- Site of the old Church.
