Series notes:
This index refers to some register now missing, into which was copied the names of individuals subscribing themselves to requisitions to the Lieutenant-Governor in accordance with S. 1 of the Act 1 Vict. No. 16. This provided, inter alia, that whenever the Government was satisfied that #300 had been raised by subscription for the erection of a church and that two hundred free adults (if in Hobart or Launceston) or eighty free adults (if in the country) had subscribed themselves to a declaration that they would attend church, the Government would contribute a subsidy equal to the amount raised; the Government would also help with the minister's stipend or with the cost of his dwelling. Many of the original declarations are to be found in CSO5/1/194 file 4646. This index gives name of signatory, parish, type of application (e.g., minister's salary, church, minister's dwelling, etc.), and page number of the missing register.
