Topic: Clergy reserve


  
 Clergy reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clergy Reserves were tracts of land in Upper Canada reserved for the support of "Protestant clergy" by the Constitutional Act of 1791 which also established Upper and Lower Canada as distinct regions each with an elected assembly.
Although the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe interpreted Protestant clergy to mean mean the clergy of Church of England only, by 1824, the Church of Scotland was also granted a share of the projected revenues.
The Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada passed a law to sell the reserves in 1840, but it was disallowed by the imperial (British) government.

 The Scot in British North America - Chapter II. The Churches Part A
Mathieson early took a deep interest in the Clergy Reserve agitation, not, however, as a secularizer, but as a claimant to a share of the funds for his Church.
