HISTORY OF CAWTHORNE.

"The Rev. Benjamin Eamonson resigned the Perpetual Curacy of Cawthorne in February, 1814, and was succeeded by the Rev. John Penketh Buee, Clerk, LL.B., who was licensed before the Rev. George Markham, Clerk, D.D., Dean of York (the Commissary appointed by His Grace Edward Venables [Vernon, afterwards Vernon-Harcourt], by Divine Permission Lord Archbishop of York) on the 4th day of April, 1814.

The "Induction" is that by which an Incumbent previously instituted is placed in possession of the temporal emoluments of the benefice, a public proclamation of such possession being usually made by his tolling one of the bells.
