XXXVS BISHOP PALLISER'S REMARKS ON CLOYNE.
the parish of Ardagh should be given to the Curate of Youghall (whose
cure is very great, much the greatest in the diocese, and his maintenance
otherwise inconsiderable), and by him it was constantly enjoy'd
in a continued succession of Curates from this said dissolution
unto the year 1672, or thereabouts, when falling void upon the cession
of the then Incumbent, and the succeeding Curate of Youghall
being negligent in taking out the King' s presentation to it, Mr.
William Fitzgerald, then Dean of Cloyn, passed his Majesty 's patent
for it; thereupon was instituted , inducted into it, continued ever
since in the possession thereof, until he was promoted to the bishoprick
of Clonfert, by which promotion it became vacant again, and
so continues to this very day, Mr. William Jephson, Dean of Lismore,
having only a bare presentation thereunto. The inhabitants
of the parish of Ardagh all go to divine service in the Church of
Youghall, so that nothing in all the diocese of Cloyn is so proper
to be perpetually united to the cure of Youghall, if it vicarage were
endowed there, nor in the interim so convenient to be given to the
Curate of Youghall, for his maintenance in that great cure; all the
maintenance lie at present has for serving that cure being given
him by the Bishop out of the revenue of the bishoprick, which is
itself so small that 'tis scarce able to support a Bishop according to
the dignity of his place and station. Upon these considerations,
in all humility offer'd to the Government, the Bishop of Cloyn
earnestly begs that the Lords Justices would be pleased to grant
this rectory of Ardagh, now legally void, and in their disposal, to
the present Curate of Youghall, Mr. Mathew Jones, for his better
maintenance in discharging much the greatest cure in the whole
diocese of Cloyn, especially the Curates of Youghall having ever
enjoyed the said rectory of Ardagh by the favour of the Government,
until of late years it was wrested from them.
THE STATE of the RECTORY of CLONPRIEST, usurped also by Dean
William Jephson, but legally void in the King's presentation.
The rectory of Clonpriest, in the diocese of Cloyn, no slender
cure , worth about 70 pounds, yearly, has, for above three score years,
gone along with the deanery of Cloyn (the deanery is a very inconsiderable
thing without it); but falling void by the promotion of the
late Dean of Cloyn, Mr. William Fitzgerald, to the bishoprick of
Clonfert, Mr. William Jephson by subtile artifice pass'd a patent
for it, wrested it from the deanery, when his Majesty really intended
it for the present Dean of Cloyn, Mr. Henry Scardeville, Chaplain
to Duke Schoenberg ; but Mr. William Jeplison having only a bare
presentation to the rectory of Clonpriest, and hitherto neglecting to
be by the Bishop instituted and inducted thereunto, it is still void
in law, and ought, in great reason , by the gracious pleasure of the
Government to be reannexed to the deanery of Cloyn (to which it
long appertained ), to render it somewhat considerable.
