_Perpetual Curates not represented in Convocation._--In _Lectures on Church
Difficulties_, by the Rev. J. M. Neale, I find this statement:
"Under the old regime rectors and vicars were alone, generally
speaking, allowed a vote in the election of proctors, to the exclusion
from that privilege of even perpetual curates."--Lecture xi., p. 133.
I believe that this is correct, and that the curates spoken of as having
their votes rejected in Day _versus_ Knewstubbs, were perpetual curates:
but can some of your correspondents confirm this view by facts?
