Rental of the manor and seignory of Castleisland as well as the town of Castleisland, 25 March 1803

Their vigilant friend and countryman, Kenyon, sent him a blank proxy, which he returned yesterday. He is anxious to be present at the discussion and to support his lordship by every means in his power for he considers the question to be one of vital importance. Moreover, he considers the Commission and its acts and its powers to be a national nuisance which has been and can only be productive of grievous injury to the Church and the State. What has been gained by the suppression of bishoprics in Ireland and England? 'Nothing but loss, and what must be thought in High Heaven of our proceedings here below, when on the altar of a worthless, senseless, and wicked expediency, we sacrifice even the cause of Religion itself.' His lordship, however, is fighting a good fight. He shrinks from appearing in the House of Lords. Besides, he has been by no means well. He ought to have reported to his lordship the exceedingly gratifying account of the examination of his lordship's son at Eton, particularly in Divinity.

Letter from J. Edmonds to R.N. Salt, [solicitor], Shrewsbury, 4 June 1925, concerning four documents relating to the Irish fee farm estate that were sent to Mr Salt from the Powis Castle estate office, together with a delivery receipt.

He would like a copy of the new Bill presented by Lord Powis as soon as it is printed and desires to know whether there is any reason to believe that the Government will withdraw their opposition to the Bill this session. He would welcome an article on the subject.

He has sent to his lordship at the House of Lords a petition from this parish against the union of the sees. His lordship has probably rad in the newspapers that another Welsh clergyman, in addition to the son of Mr Lloyd of Rhaggat, seceded on Sunday last to the Church of Rome. The last convert, Mr Lewis, a fellow of Jesus College, is said to be a person of very considerable attainments and will probably be rendered very useful in the new Popish college which is to be erected near St Asaph. The Roman Catholics are making great efforts to convert the Welsh to 'the old religion'. This is the time which their Ministers have chosen for robbing them of their episcopate and weakening the influence of the Established Church in North Wales.

He encloses a blank proxy to enable his lordship to give his vote in favour of the maintenance of the Welsh bishoprics. It is to be used for this purpose only and is afterwards to be cancelled. Lord Hardwicke now holds his proxy and his lordship must take care that it is revoked before the enclosed proxy is used.

He desires Lord Clive to be informed that he will not forget the day fixed for the second reading of the Bill. He wishes it were in his power to support Lord Powis in person but he is obliged to leave England on Friday next. He hears very comfortable accounts of his wife and young ones.

The Marshall [Viscount Beresford] will be delighted to give Lord Powis his proxy.

Owing to serious indisposition he is personally unable to comply with his lordship's wishes but has forwarded his lordship's letter to his friend, the Rev. T. R. Bently. He is delighted to hear of his lordship's prospects of success. He encloses a note which he has just received from his friend. It will explain itself. The petition is in process and will, he hopes, be forwarded for presentation on Monday next.

He is unavoidably detained in this place and can consequently be of no service to the good cause before the question comes on in the Lords. Nor indeed does it seem to be necessary because it can be safely asserted in the House that there are not two opinions among either the clergy or the laity of this projected diocese on the importance of preserving the Welsh sees and of giving Manchester a bishopric without delay. The Bishop of Chester constantly complains that the increased labour of his diocese is far beyond his strength, and had not the Commissioners publicly declared that it was not a question of money and that the funds in hand were sufficient to endow the new see, he has no doubt that a subscription would already have been entered into in Manchester to aid, if not to complete, the endowment. He trusts Lord Powis will bring forward his motion with better success.

He will be happy to comply with Lord Powis's desire and hold any proxy, in addition to Lord Dynevor's, that Lord Powis may wish. He will be at the House of Lords on Monday.

He encloses his proxy for the St Asaph and Bangor question.

He returns the proxy. He is sorry about the Bishop of Winchester's proxy. He had understood that the Bill might be withdrawn this session. It will be quite out of his power to be present at the debate tomorrow.

In cae the Bishop of Lichfield should be unable to return in time for the debate he encloses his proxy. Diocesan duties today, the marriage of a son tomorrow, and a consecration at the east end of the island on Wednesday make it impossible for him to be present in the House.

The list is divided into classes entitled 'Content', 'Not Content', and 'Doubtful'.

Having just completed the declared age of man he uses his first opportunity to offer some suggestions 'respecting our child which I hope will be ushered into life in your House tomorrow'. The case of Gloucester and Bristol is not a parallel in the slightest degree for these two dioceses were united because they could not maintain a bishop from their own resources, whereas St Asaph and Bangor are laid hold of for the very sake of obtaining money from their possessions. The questions of bishops, deans, and chapters do not lie within the same category for bishops are essential but deans and chapters are creations of political expediency. The destruction of an old bishopric should be looked on really as an act not of Parliamentary right but only of power unjustly used. To begin a pretended act of expediency by robbery is not the way to succeed in establishing principles which, especially as connected with the Church, ought to be conscientiously pursued. If the need and wants of the Church of England may not from time to time be sanctioned out of its own property it is the only religious body so circumstanced. Every other religious body can add to its numbers and superiors as seems expedient to them, but not so the Church.
