XX. ‘And whereas it is expedient to make more effectual Provision for enforcing Payment of Stipends or Salaries for the Maintenance of officiating Clergymen in Parishes whereof the Tithes are appropriate or impropriate, and the Owners thereof are bound to maintain such Clergymen: And whereas by the said recited Act of the Third and Fourth Years of His present Majesty’s Reign it was provided, that in any Case where the Owners of Impropriations or Impropriate Tithes are by Law bound, but refuse or neglect, to repair the Chancel of any Church, or to maintain an officiating Minister, it should be lawful for the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners, or for the Archbishop or Bishop of the Diocese, to present a Petition to the Court of Chancery or Exchequer in Ireland, praying Relief, and such Courts were authorized and required to hear such Petition in a summary Way, and to make such Order therein as should appear just: And whereas it is expedient to extend the said recited Provisions of the said Act;’ be it therefore enacted, That the same shall be deemed and taken to extend and shall extend to Cases where the Owners of Appropriations or Appropriate Tithes are by Law bound, but refuse or neglect, to repair the Chancel of any Church or to maintain an officiating Minister, in like Manner and as fully to all Intents and Purposes as to Cases where the Owners of Impropriations or Impropriate Tithes are so bound and so refuse or neglect to repair the Chancel of any Church or to maintain an officiating Minister.
