Excerpt from Old English Catholic Missions Parochial afterwards were, by the Act 3 and 4 Vict. Cap. 92, specially passed for that purpose. Turning, however, more particularly to these Registers, a summary and short account of which is given in these pages, we notice first that of the seventy-eight deposited in 1840 at Somer set House, no less than seventy are from the Northern District, then under the jurisdiction of Bishop Briggs, and that of these, forty-five are from Yorkshire, twelve from Durham, ten from Northumberland, and one each from the counties of Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire. Here again, it is worthy of notice, that out of the nearly two hundred missions then existing in this diocese, of which about fifty-four were in Yorkshire, and nearly ninety in Lancashire, only one register, - that, viz., of St. Alban's, Blackburn - was parted with from the last-named county to the registrar-general. Catholic Lancashire, then, was very evidently loth to give up her Records of the past. Of the remaining eight registers, two in Hampshire and Hertfordshire are from the London District, five from the Midland, and one only is from the Western District, that, namely, of Lulworth Castle. We may therefore assume that in 1840 it was left to the option of each individual priest to forward his register, or not, according to his discretion, and that in 1857 it was decided that no more were to be sent at all.
