XXXIII. ‘And whereas, by and under the Provisions of the said recited Act of the Third and Fourth Years of His present Majesty’s Reign, the Bishoprick of Cork and Ross has become united to the Bishoprick of Cloyne, and Doctor Samuel Kyle being at the Time of the passing of the said Act, and at the Time when the said Bishopricks became united as aforesaid, Bishop of Cork and Ross, has become and now is Bishop of the said united Bishopricks of Cork and Ross and Cloyne: And whereas upon such Union as aforesaid all and singular the Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, with all and singular the Tithes, Rents, and Emoluments appertaining or belonging to the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross, were by virtue of the said Act transferred to and vested in the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners, saving and excepting the See House and Offices and Mensal and Demesne Lands to the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross belonging, which became thereafter by the said Act the See House and Offices and Mensal or Demesne Lands of the said united Bishopricks of Cork and Ross and Cloyne, and the said Doctor Samuel Kyle became possessed of and entitled to the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cloyne, saving and excepting to the See House and Mensal or Demesne Lands thereunto belonging, which the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners were authorized to let or demise for such Rent or Fine as they should think fit: And whereas the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners are authorized and required by the said Act, out of the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross so vested in them as aforesaid, to make good to the said Doctor Samuel Kyle the Sum or Sums of Money, if any, whereby the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cloyne shall fall short of the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross: And whereas the Revenues of the said respective Bishopricks, being in great Measure dependent on Fines paid on the Renewal of Leases, are liable to Uncertainty and Variation, and an annual Valuation of the said several Bishopricks would be troublesome and inconvenient: And whereas it has been found, upon a Comparison of the relative average Value of the said several Bishopricks, that the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cloyne fall short of the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross by the annual Sum of One thousand five hundred Pounds or thereabouts, and the said Doctor Samuel Kyle consents to receive such annual Sum of One thousand five hundred Pounds in full Acquittance and Discharge of the Payment which the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners ought to make to him under the Provisions of the said Act;’ be it therefore enacted, That the said annual Sum of One thousand five hundred Pounds shall be deemed and taken to be the Sum whereby the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cloyne fall short of the Revenues of the said Bishoprick of Cork and Ross, and that the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners shall pay to the said Doctor Samuel Kyle, in each and every Year during his Incumbency of the said united Bishopricks of Cork and Ross and Cloyne, the said annual Sum of One thousand five hundred Pounds, commencing from the Fourteenth Day of September One thousand eight hundred and thirty-five, and that the first Payment thereof shall be made on the Fourteenth Day of September in this current Year One thousand eight hundred and thirty-six, by one entire Payment, and that the future Payments thereof shall be made by equal Moieties, one Moiety on the Fourteenth Day of March, and the other Moiety on the Fourteenth Day of September, in each and every succeeding Year during the Incumbency of the said Doctor Samuel Kyle in the said united Bishopricks: Provided always, that the said annual Payment shall be apportioned so and in such Manner that on the Demise or Translation of the said Doctor Samuel Kyle, or other Determination of his said Incumbency, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners shall pay to him, or his Executors, Administrators, or Assigns, a Proportion of such annual Sum according to the Time which shall have elapsed from the Commencement or last Period of Payment thereof respectively (as the Case may be), including the Day of the Demise or Translation of the said Doctor Samuel Kyle, or other Determination of his said Incumbency in the said united Bishopricks: Provided also, that the Income of the present Bishop of Cork and Ross and Cloyne during his Incumbency be free from the Tax chargeable under the Provisions of the said recited Act of the Third and Fourth Years of the Reign of His present Majesty.
