At the Court at Buckingham-Palace, the 31st day of January 1844,

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England have, in pursuance of an Act, passed in the session of Parliament held in the third and fourth years of Her Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to carry into effect, with "certain modifications, the fourth report of the "Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Duties and "Revenues;" and of another Act, passed in the last session of Parliament, intituled "An Act for 66 regulating the cathedral churches of Wales," duly prepared and laid before Her Majesty in Council a scheme, bearing date the ninth day of January one thousand eight hundred and fortyfour, in the words and figures following, that is to say:

"We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, in pursuance of an Act, passed in the session of Parliament held in the third and fourth years of your Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act "to carry into effect, with certain modifications, "the fourth report of the Commissioners of "Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues;" and of another Act, passed in the last session of Parliament, intituled "An Act for regulating the "cathedral churches of Wales," have prepared, and now humbly lay before your Majesty in Council, the following scheme, for founding a new archdeaconry, to be called the Archdeaconry of Montgomery, in the diocese of Saint Asaph,

and for providing a temporary endowment for the said archdeaconry, and also for the archdeaconry of Saint Asaph.

"Whereas by the first-recited Act it is enacted, that, with the consent of the bishop of the diocese, any archdeaconry or rural deanry may, on account of the magnitude thereof, or of any other peculiar circumstance connected therewith, be divided; and also that any archdeaconry may be endowed, amongst other modes, by augmentation out of the common fund in the said Act mentioned, provided that such augmentation shall not raise the average annual income of any archdeaconry to an amount exceeding two hundred ponnds; and provided that no archdeacon shall be entitled to hold any endowment or augmentation or other emolument as such archdeacon under the provisions of that Act, unless he shall be resident for the space of eight months in every year within the diocese in which his archdeaconry is situate, or, as to any then archdeacon within the diocese in which his archdeaconry was situate before the passing of the Act in the same Act first recited, but subject to the same provisions as to licences for non-residence which are enacted, with respect to incumbents of benefices, by an Act relating to pluralities and the residence of the clergy, passed in the second year of your Majesty's reign:

"And whereas by an Act, passed in the session of Parliament held in the sixth and seventh years of the reign of His late Majesty King William the Fourth (being an Act for carrying into effect certain reports of the Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues), it is enacted, that all archdeacons, throughout England and Wales, shall have and exercise full and equal jurisdiction within their respective archdeaconries, any usage to the contrary notwithstanding:

"And whereas it is by the secondly-recited Act enacted, that, from and after the passing thereof, the dignity and office of Archdeacon of Saint Asaph should no longer be holden by the Bishop of Saint Asaph, provided that nothing therein contained should affect any lands, tithes, tenements, or other hereditaments or endowments then forming part of the property and revenues of the see of Saint Asaph:

"And whereas, by reason of the said last-mentioned enactment, no archidiaconal jurisdiction or superintendence is now exercised in or over any part of the diocese and archdeaconry of Saint Asaph; and the said archdeaconry, the endowments whereof are annexed to the see of Saint Asaph, is without any income or other provision whatsoever :

"And whereas the said archdeaconry of Saint Asaph is now inconveniently large, being coextensive with the limits of the said diocese:

"We, therefore, humbly recommend and propose, with the consent of the Right Reverend William Bishop of Saint Asaph, in testimony whereof he has signed and sealed this scheme, that there shall be founded, in the said diocese of Saint Asaph, a new archdeaconry, and that the same shall be styled and called the Archdeaconry of Montgomery, and that the said archdeaconry shall be taken out of the said archdeaconry of Saint Asaph, and shall consist of the deanries of Penllyn and Edeirnion, Pool and Caereinion, Caedewen, and Ceifeiliog and Mowddy, now in the said diocese and archdeaconry of Saint Asaph; and that the said deanries, and all parishes and places, churches and chapels, and the whole clergy and others your Majesty's subjects within the same, shall be subject to the archidiaconal jurisdiction,
