new churches , are to be defrayed out of the surplus of the pew rents which remain after the salaries of the ministers have been provided for . - Four new churches have bee »^ rected , and the ministers amply provided for . Some debts , however , were contracted , and a district rate was made for their liquidation ; and the money raised being more than

A similar proceeding has been attempted in several parishes . The acts authorizing the building of new churches provide that the pew rents should defray the expense of worship , &c . ; but every where encroachments are making for the purpose of throwing part of this on the parish . This ought to be carefully watched and strenuously resisted . The
Protestant Society has lately assisted successfully in defeating the fraud ; and the Deputies are ready to support any Dissenters similarly aggrieved . It is quite sufficient to contribute to erect churches , without being called on , contrary to law , to support the expense of worship , while there is a fund arising from rents fully adequate , if properly applied .
