Under the London (City) Tithes Act, 1879, portions of the sums payable as above have been redeemed, the consideration being such sum as will, if invested in 3 per cent. consols., produce an annual sum equal as near as may be to the annual amount of such rent-charge. The consideration is paid to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who pay the dividends on the stock to the incumbents. It is important to give _seriatim_ some further particulars about the above benefices. (1) Of the £2,500 of _S. Andrew Undershaft, w. S. Mary-at-Axe_, eight parishes receive in the aggregate £500 a year.[282] The Bishop of London is patron; the rector is Bishop Billing, his suffragan; his net income is £2,057, with £375 a year for house rented; total, £2,432. Church accommodation, 210; population, 315. (2) The fixed tithe of _S. Catherine Colman_ is £1,550, out of which six parishes at Bethnal Green receive in the aggregate £400, S.
