Cambridge, June 24, 1850.
_Bishops and their Precedence_ (Vol. ii., p. 9.).--I believe bishops
have their precedence because they are both _temporal_ and _spiritual_
barons. Some I years ago, I took the following note from the
_Gentleman's Mag_. for a year between 1790 and 1800; I cannot say
positively what year (for I was very young at the time, and
unfortunately omitted to "note" it):--
"Every Bishop has a temporal barony annexed to his see. The
Bishop of Durham is Earl of Sudbury and Baron Evenwood; and the
Bishop of Norwich is Baron of Northwalsham."
Query, where may the accounts of the respective baronies of the
bishoprics be found?
