Cork, 1751. An act of parliament set out the trouble plainly. The parish of St. Nicholas, in the south suburbs of the city, was so small, and its bounds so intermeddled with other small contiguous parishes of the south liberties, that no church was or could be built there. No provision could be made for the support of a clergyman to officiate in the church already built in the parish, nor even to repair that church. On that account there had been no divine service for some time, and the church was in danger of going to ruin. The same act recited that the inhabitants of the parishes or parts of the south liberties called St. Bridget's, St. John's of Jerusalem, St. Nicholas's, St. Stephen's, St. Mary's, and St. Dominick's had then no church to resort to for the public worship of God. For remedy whereof it was enacted that the bishop of Cork, with the approbation of the archbishop, the consent of the dean and chapter, and a majority of the inhabitants of the said parishes, might at a vestry in St. Nicholas's Church unite those parishes to St. Nicholas's parish for ever. One provision was attached. The parish of St. Bridget's was then the corps of the chancellorship of the Cathedral, and so the united parish of St. Nicholas's should thereafter be deemed the corps of that same chancellorship, and the chancellor of the Cathedral should become, to all intents and purposes, the rector and minister of the united and newly erected parish of St. Nicholas.
