With respect to other parishes in the City and Liberties of London which
are not included in the Fire Act, the incumbents received the tithes
specified in the Acts 27 Henry VIII., c. xxi. and 37 Henry VIII. c. xii.,
viz., 2_s._ 9_d._ in the pound upon the rentals of the houses. The whole
sum was paid into the common treasury of the parish, and was applied
to three purposes, viz. (1) the support of the clergy; (2) the relief
of the poor; and (3) the repairs of the church. Here is the tripartite
division.[279] By the London (City) Tithes Act, 27, 28 Vict. c. cclxviii.
(1864), annual fixed sums are paid in lieu of tithes, but subject to a
revision on the first avoidance of the benefice that happens after the
expiration of a period of 28 years from the passing of the Act.
These are the benefices:—
