His said Majesty in Council a scheme whereby we recommended and proposed, with the consent of the Right Reverend John Lord Bishop of Lincoln (amongst other things), that so much of the archdeaconry of Huntingdon as was included in and coextensive with the county of Huntingdon, then forming part of the said diocese of Lincoln, should be detached and dissevered from the same diocese and should be and become permanently annexed and united to, and included in, and form part of, the diocese of Ely, which schenie was approved and ratified by an Order of His said late Majesty in Council, bearing date the nineteenth day of the same month of April, and which has since been duly registered and gazetted, according to the said Act, but by reason that the parishes of Buckden, Brampton, Spaldwick, Long Stow with Little Catworth, Barham, Easton, and Leighton Bromswold, in the said county of Huntingdon, were not at the time of making the said Order subject to the jurisdiction of the Archdeacon of Huntingdon, doubts have arisen whether the said parishes were, by the said Order in Council, effectually annexed and united to the said diocese of Ely, and whether any archidiaconal jurisdiction can be exercised therein; now, therefore, for the removal of such doubts, we humbly recommend and propose, with the consent of the said John Bishop of Lincoln, in testimony whereof he has signed and sealed this scheme, that the said parishes of Buckden, Brampton, Spaldwick, Long Stow with Little Catworth, Barham, Easton, and Leighton Bromswold, shall be detached and dissevered from the said diocese of Lincoln, and shall be and become permanently annexed and united to, and included in, and form part of, the said diocese of Ely, and shall be included in, and form part of, the said archdeaconry of Huntingdon, and shall be in the deanry of Leightonstone, and that the whole clergy, and all other your Majesty's subjects, jects, within the said parishes, shall be exempted and released from all jurisdiction, authority, and control of the present and every future bishop of Lincoln, and shall be under and subject to the jurisdiction, authority, and control of the Right Reverend Joseph, now Bishop of Ely, and his successors bishops of Ely, and of the Archdeacon of Huntingdon, for the time being, to all intents and purposes. All which we humbly recommend and propose to your Majesty in Council. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our common seal, this twentieth day of March one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine. And whereas the said scheme 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, and to order and direct that the same, and every part thereof, shall take effect immediately from and after the time when this Order shall have been registered as hereinafter directed, and 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 thereby to direct, that this Order be forthwith registered by the several registrars of the several dioceses of Lincoln and Ely.
