REGIUM DONUM, or ROYAL GIFT

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REGIUM DONUM, or ROYAL GIFT , an annual grant formerly made from the public funds to Presbyterian and other Non-conformist ministers in
Great
  Britain and Ireland. It
dates
  from the reign of Charles II., who, according to
Bishop
  Burnet, after the declaration of indulgence of 1672 ordered sums of money to be paid to Presbyterian ministers. These gifts or pensions were soon discontinued, but in 1690 William III. made a grant of 2200 a year to the Presbyterian ministers in Ireland as a reward for their services during his struggle with James II. Owing to the opposition of the Irish
House
  of Lords the money was not paid in 1711 and some subsequent years, but it was revived in 1715 by George I., who increased the amount to 2000 a year. Further additions were made in 1784 and in 1792, and in 1868 the sum granted to the Irish Presbyterian ministers was 45,000. The
Regium
  Donum was withdrawn by the act of 1869 which disestablished the Irish
church
 . Pro-vision was made, however, for existing interests therein, and many Presbyterian ministers commuted these on the same terms as the clergy of the
church
  of Ireland.
In England the
Regium
  Donum proper
dates
  from 1721, when Dr Edmund Calamy (16711732) received 500 from the royal
bounty
  " for the use and behalf of the poor widows of dissenting ministers." Afterwards this sum was increased to r000 and was made an annual payment " for the assisting either ministers or their widows," and later it amounted to 1695 per annum. It was given to distributors who represented the three denominations, Presbyterians, Baptists and Independents, enjoying the grant. Among the Nonconformists themselves. however, or(1829-3o).
