    the amount was small , the principte was important ; and , therefore , the person rated as the occupier considered that as the expenses necessary to religious worship equalled the receipts , there was no beneficial occupation ,

    Presbyterian students for the Church . Lord Castlereagh had asked whether this was a matter of discipline , which it certainly was , as * the education included not merely the classic languages , or even theology , but moral education also . He observed , that at Cookstown
