To The Editor Of The Time...
Sir,-I am a liceased curate at the rate of 601. per annum and surplice fees, in a parish containing nearly3,000 souls- a place by no means to be classed among sinecures. The Cburchwardetn has pres-zuted my residence, it being in a dilapiLlated state, (at my request), and the consequence is, that the Vicar has received a monition to repair it. He now wishes to dispense with my services, and to reside in the vicarage himself, merely for the sake of turnitig me out. As you are an acknowledged enemy to oppression, I beg, through the medium of your widely circulated paper, to have an answer to the followving quesLion fron somle oe your learned correspondents in the law :-" Can a Parson holding an endowed schcol (no matter whether he pur_ chased it, or was prescnted to it), leave that school to a deputy to carry on, and turn his Curate out of residence at three months' noticc ?" It strikes me very forcibly he can. not. Your obedient s erv-nt A POOR CURATE. I -CPt. ;JU, IU24, TO THE EDITOR OF THF TIM'ES.
