"Whereas, under the provisions of the first aboverecited Act, we prepared, and on the first day of August one thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven, laid before your Majesty in Council, a scheme whereby we recommended and proposed, with the consent of the Most Reverend the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and of the Right Reverend John Bishop of Lincoln, that, upon a certain event. therein mentioned, which event has since occurred, the whole county of Nottingham, then forming the archdeaconry of Nottingham, and part of the province and diocese of York, should be detached and dissevered from the last-mentioned province and diocese, and be annexed and united to, and included in, and form part of, the province of Canterbury and the said diocese of Lincoln, which scheme was, on the twenty-first day of the same month of August, approved and ratified by an Order of Your Majesty in Council, and the said. Order has since been duly registered and gazetted; and whereas, by reason that the deanry and exempt or peculiar jurisdiction of Southwell, and the several parishes or places therein comprised, and the several parishes of Kinolton, South Muskham, Apesthorpe, Bole, East Drayton with Askham, Laneham, Misterton, West Stockwith, and North Wheatley, within the said county of Nottingham, were not, or claimed not to be, at the time of making the said Order, subject to the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of York or of the Archdeacon of Nottingham, doubts have arisen respecting the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbnry, the Bishop of Lincoln, and the Archdeacon of Nottingham, over the said deanry and

exempt or pecu'iar jurisdiction of Southwell, and the parishes and places therein comprised, and over the said other last-mentioned parishes:

Now, therefore, for the removal of such doubts, we humbly recommend and propose, with the consent of the said two Archbishops and of the said Bishop, in testimony whereof they have respectively signed and sealed this scheme, that the said deanry and exempt or peculiar jurisdiction of Southwell, and all parishes and places therein comprised, and the said parishes of Kinolton, South Muskham, Apesthorpe, Bole, East Drayton with Askham, Laneham, Misterton, West Stockwith, and North Wheatley, and all other parishes and places (if any such there be), within. the county of Nottingham, possessing, or claiming to possess, exempt or peculiar jurisdiction, or being, or claiming to be, exempt from the ordinary jurisdiction of the Archbishop of York, or the Archdeacon of Nottingham, shall be annexed to, included in, and form part of, the said province of Canterbury, diocese of Lincoln, and archdeaconry of Nottingham, respectively, and the said deanry and exempt or peculiar jurisdiction of Southwell shall be styled the Deanry of Southwell, and the said parish of Kinolton shall be within the deanry of Bingham, and the said parish of South Muskham shall be within the deanry of Newark, and the said parishes of Apesthorpe, Bole, East Drayton with Askham, Laneham, Misterton, West Stockwith, and North Wheatley, shall be within the deanry of Retford, and the said other parishes and places (if any such there be) shall be included in the several deanries in which they are respectively locally situate, and such of the said last-mentioned parishes and places (if any), as are locally situate between two or more deanries, shall be included in that one of the said deanries with which it shall have the greatest extent of common boundary; and that all churches and chapels, and the whole clergy and others, your Majesty's subjects within the same deanry and

within all the said other parishes and places, shall be under and subject to the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, of the Bishop of Lincoln, and the Archdeacon of Nottingham, for the time being respectively, to all intents and purposes, and shall be subject to no other ecclesiastical jurisdiction whatso

ever.

"All which we humbly recommend and propose to your Majesty in Council.

"In witness whereof we have hereunto set our common seal, this first day of December one thousand eight hundred and forty."

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 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 several Registrars of the several dioceses of Canterbury, York, and Lincoln.
