(9) Numbers 22 and 38 = 4 ditto; rector’s ditto = £840 H; pop., 285. (10) Numbers 24, 45 and 46 = 6 ditto; rector’s ditto = £660 and house; pop., 297. (11) Numbers 32 and 50 = 4 ditto; rector’s ditto = £600 H; pop., 360. 11 incumbents = 43 parishes = £8,050 = 7,163 population. S. Peter-le-Poer and Bridewell included above are not in the Fire Acts. The total incomes of the 37 incumbents from the 86 Fire parishes were in 1890, £22,852; aggregate population, 12,000. By the revised Fire Act of 1804, £12,241 of the £22,852, comes from the Fire rates paid by the ratepayers of these parishes; the balance, £10,611, comes from ground-rents and house-rents of properties which belong to the incumbents of the respective parishes. The average NET annual income of each of the 37 incumbents was, in 1890, £642, for an average population of 572, or £1 2s. per head, including children. (_a_) S. Michael, Cornhill, has over £700 a year from house rentals; (_b_) the present rector of S. Peter’s, Cornhill, has £2,500 a year from rentals of two houses on glebe estate, out of which he pays £300 a year net to S. James, Duke’s Place; he has also £200 from Fire Act; _i.e._, £2,400 a year for 196 parishioners including children. On next avoidance the £2,200 will be divided into five shares; he gets one; and four other benefices get £440 each. His income will then be £440 + £200 by Fire Act = £640. (_c_) The rector of S. Edmund the King and S. Nicholas Acons has a net income of £1,150, for 222 parishioners; viz., £300 by Fire Act and £850 from ground-rents and interest on £18,000, the price of a house sold belonging to the benefice [see 26th Report, p. 86, of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners].
