Yearly when all were vacated, the sinecure rectories 8894/. , and the estates 58, 354/. , making a total of 134, 251/. Yearly; but the revenues from the estates were subject not only to the lives of the Dignitaries, but to their right to renew the leases of the properties for lives and years, so that a period of not less than ninety years might be expected to elapse before the whole estates would fall into the possession of the Com- mission. Even now (1863) some of these prefer- ments are not v...acated, and the Incumbents renew the leases by the insertion of young lives. The Act simply placed these sources of income under the control of the Commission, without any direction as to the mode of dealing with the lessees, or as to the distribution of the revenues amongst the various claimants in respect of different classes of spiritual destitution; except that a local claim to prior consideration was given to places where the property vested in the Commission con- sisted of tithe or of land allotted in lieu of tithe.
