It was also proved in 1853 (see Mr. Howard Evans " Old Nobility," sub "The Norths"), that he had up to that dsi3 received from the Rectory of Alresford £3-1,000 ; from that of St. Mary's, Southampton, £121,000, and from his Prebendal stall £19,000, which with the £90,000 abovenamed, amounts to about £350,000 ! ! These he received from his father Bishop (North), of Winchester, whose own clerical preferments (conferred on him by his brother, the Prime Minister), were themselves a cause of very considerable scandal.
