ings, and images of the Virgin Mary and other ſaints, baptiſmal font, and pews. Here their bells are continually tinkling for prayers, eſpecially on Sundays and holidays, which laſt are ſo very numerous, that they generally occur three or four times every week; when great numbers of the French, both white and coloured people, regularly attend their prieſts.
The revenues of this chapel, and of the miniſters thereof, principally ariſe from the rents of a large lot of land on which it is built; and which was granted by the Engliſh Commiſſioners, in 1763, to the French inhabitants for that purpoſe, on leaſe for ninety-nine years. Great part of this land is let out for the remainder of the term yet to expire; and thereon are built ſeveral good houſes, the owners of which pay a yearly aſſeſſed part of the rent of the ſame, excluſive of the firſt coſt of the leaſe of each lot on which the houſes are built.
