The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

WHEREAS the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England have, in pursuance of the Act of the thirty-second and thirty-third years of Her Majesty, chapter ninety-four, duly prepared and laid before Her Majesty in Council a scheme or representation, bearing date the twenty-first day of March, in the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the words following, that is to say :

"We, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, acting under the provisions of the Act of the thirty-second and thirty-third years of your Majesty, chapter ninety-four, have prepared and now humbly lay before your Majesty in Council, the following scheme or representation for altering the boundaries of the new parish of Eridge Green, in the county of Sussex, and in the diocese of Chichester :

"Whereas, by the authority of an order of your Majesty in Council, bearing date the thirtieth day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, and published in the London Gazette upon the fifth day of February, in the same year, the district of Eridge Green was constituted partly out of the parish of Frant, in the county and diocese aforesaid, and partly out of the parish of Rotherfield, in the same county and diocese.

"And whereas the said district of Eridge Green has since become a new parish of the character contemplated by the Act of the sixth and seventh years of your Majesty, chapter thirty-seven, and by the said above-mentioned Act of the thirty-second and thirty-third years of your Majesty, chapter ninety-four.

"And whereas it has been represented to us, and it appears to us to be expedient, that the boundaries of the said new parish of Eridge Green should be altered by way of extension, so that they shall include a certain additional part of the said parish of Frant.

"Now, therefore, with the consent of the Right Reverend Richard. Bishop of the said diocese of Chichester (in testimony whereof he has signed and sealed this scheme or representation), we, the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners, humbly represent, recommend, and propose, that from and after the day of the date of the publication in the London Gazette of any Order of your Majesty in Council ratifying this scheme or representation, the boundaries of the said new parish of Eridge Green shall be altered, by way of extension, so that they shall include all that part of the said parish of Frant which is described in the schedule hereunder written, and is delineated and set forth upon the map or plan hereunto appended, and is thereon coloured pink, and that from and after the day of the same date, and without any other assurance in law, the said, part of the parish of Frant so to be included as aforesaid, shall become and be and form part of the said new parish of Eridge Green.

"And we further represent, recommend, and propose, that nothing herein contained shall prevent us from representing, recommending, or proposing any other measures relating to the matters aforesaid, or any of them, in accordance with the provisions of the hereinbefore-mentioned Arts or of either of them, or of any other Act of Parliament,

"The SCHEDULE to which the foregoing scheme or representation has reference.

"The territory proposed to be annexed to the new parish of Eridge Green, in the county of Sussex, and in the diocese of Chichester, being :

"All that part of the parish of Frant, in the county and diocese aforesaid, wherein the present incumbent of such parish now possesses the exclusive cure of souls, whereon stands the dwelling-house or mansion, commonly called Eridge Castle (comprising therewith the buildings and premises thereto belonging, and a portion of the pleasure grounds and park, immediately adjacent), all which said part is bounded on the west and on the south by the new parish of Eridge Green aforesaid, and on all other side, that is to say, on the east and on the north, by an imaginary line, commencing upon the boundary which divides the said new parish of Eridge Green, from the parish of Frant aforesaid, at a point at or near to the eastern end of Eridge Lake, and near to the south western end of the fence which divides Eridge New Park from Eridge Old Park; and extending thence, north-eastward, for a distance of forty-eight chains, or thereabouts, to and along the middle of the said park fence, to a point at or near to Conduit Wood Gate, and continuing thence, still north-eastward, and in a direct line from the said park fence, for a further distance of eighteen chains, or thereabouts (thereby crossing a part of the Eridge New Park aforesaid, and passing along the northwestern side of the house called or known as Bohemia Lodge), to a point at or near to the northern angle of the said house in the fence forming the northern boundary of the said Eridge New Park ; and extending thence, north-westward, for a distance of sixteen and a-half chains, or thereabouts, along the middle of the last-described fence, to a point in the middle of the stream which flows past the house called or known as Washingstool Lodge, to Waterdown Warren ; and extending thence, westward, for a distance of thirty-nine chains, or thereabouts, along the middle of the said stream, to the boundary on the eastern side of the last-described house, which boundary divides the-said parish of Frant from the new parish of Eridge Green aforesaid."

And whereas a draft of the said scheme or representation has been transmitted to the patron and to the incumbents of the two cures affected by the arrangement contemplated by such scheme or representation, and such patron and incumbents have respectively signified their assent to the said scheme or representation.

And whereas the said scheme or representation has been approved by Her Majesty in Council: now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her said Council, is pleased hereby to ratify the said scheme or representation, and to order and direct that the same and every part thereof shall be effectual in law immediately from and after the time when this Order shall have been duly published in the London Gazette, pursuant to the said Act: and Her Majesty, by and with the like advice, is pleased hereby to direct that this order be forthwith registered by the Registrar of the said diocese of Chichester.
