only be applied for the support of the Clergy of that Church & in that case of a lapse the Governor by virtue of his delegated authority from the Crown as well as by the terms of tlie Acts themselves has a right to collate, upon these principles in general I am of opinion tliat M'^ Bloomer is duly collated and iudiicted to the cure of the Parish of Jamaica, that his Title is well established k that he is the lawful Incumbent. -- I do therefore Decree that the Defendants shall on or before the 4*'' day of June next, at the Door of tlie Parish Church of Jamaica and between the liours of ten & twelve in the forenoon, pay M'' Bloomer his Salary from the time of his Induction on the 23 ^ day of May 1769 to the commencement of his suit in this Court, out of any Moneys that may have accrued under the Ministry Act, & have been received by tlie Defendants as Church wardens prior to the filing of the Bill, but without any interest.
