to him 18th Dec.; and his lordship, the present bishop of St. Asaph, was installed on the 24th of that month.
The bishopric is rated for first fruits at 187l. 11s. 6d.[1] The permanent income of the bishop of St. Asaph was settled at 4200l., by order of council gazetted 17th Nov. 1846.
An order in council dated 12th Dec. 1838, and gazetted 25th Jan. 1839, was passed for prospectively uniting the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and fixing the annual sum to be paid out of the revenues thereof towards the augmentation of the incomes of the bishops of the smaller sees; for prospectively augmenting the incomes of the bishops of St. David's and Llandaff; and for prospectively founding the bishopric of Manchester. This however was repealed by act 10 & 11 Vict. c. 108.
The arms of the see are thus blazoned: Sable, two keys in saltire argent.
