"The district is to consist of parts of the parishes of Chiddingly, Hellingly, and Arlington, and is bounded on the north by the road leading from Uckfield and Lewes to Hastings, from the point where the road is crossed on the west by the road leading from Chiddingly to Ripe, to the point on the east where a road proceeds in a southerly direction to Arlington, from the north eastern corner of enclosure in Hellingly parish, marked 29 on the map; it then proceeds southerly down the middle of the road to Arlington, as far as the north western corner of enclosure No. 31 and proceeds from that point in an easterly direction along the northern enclosures of numbers 31, 32, 42, 41, 33, 34, 35, and 36, where it meets the river Cuckmere, on the east and partly on the south by following the course of that river till it is met by another branch of the river Cuckmere, along which it proceeds till it enters enclosure number 429, in Arlington parish, and on the remaining part of the south by proceeding westerly along the southern enclosures of numbers 429, 431, 408, 406, and 405, in Arlington parish, on the west and south west, by proceeding in a northerly direction along the western enclosure of number 405, and the southern and western enclosures of numbers 403, 374, and 373 (being the boundary between Arlington and Selmeston parishes), till it again meets the said river Cuckmere, along which river it then proceeds westerly as far as the road from Chalvington, on the western side of enclosure number 253, and proceeds in a northerly and north westerly direction, up the middle of that road, on the western and south western side of enclosures numbers 253,259, 260, 261, 274, 275, 278, 279, 285, 285, 292, 293, 294, and 297, to the point where the boundary commenced, as shewn on the map, and thereon coloured yellow, green, and brown :

"That the consent of the Right Reverend Ashhurst Turner Lord Bishop of Chichester has been obtained thereto, as required by the said Act of the fifty-ninth year of His Majesty King George the Third, and, in testimony of such his approbation, the said Ashhurst Turner Lord Bishop of Chichester has signed and sealed this instrument:

"Your Majesty's said Commissioners, therefore; humbly pray, that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to take the premises into your royal consideration, and to make such order in respect thereto as to your Majesty in your royal wisdom shall seem meet."

Her Majesty, having taken the said representation, together with the map thereunto annexed, into consideration, was pleased; by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to approve to order, as it is hereby ordered; that the proposed consolidation and assignment be accordingly made and carried into effect, agreeably to the provisions of the said Act.
