Queen Anne's Bounty

Read a random definition: Doe, John

A quick definition of Queen Anne's Bounty:

Queen Anne's Bounty: A long time ago, when someone who owned a lot of land died, the king or queen would get the profits from the land for one year. This was called "first fruits." Later on, when the king or queen didn't get this money anymore, it became a fund to help poor people. This fund is now called "Queen Anne's Bounty." It helps people who need it.

A more thorough explanation:

Queen Anne's Bounty is a historical term that refers to the revenue collected from the first year's profits of a clergyman's benefice. In the past, this revenue was paid by the incumbent to the Pope or the Crown, but later it was converted into a fund to benefit the poor.

Another meaning of first fruits is the one-year profits from the land of a tenant in capite, which were payable to the Crown after the tenant's death. This was also known as primer seisin.

For example, if a clergyman received a benefice that generated £10,000 in the first year, he would have to pay a portion of that amount to the Crown or the Pope. Later, this revenue was used to create a fund that would help the poor.

Similarly, if a tenant in capite died, the Crown would collect the first year's profits from their land as primer seisin or first fruits.

Overall, Queen Anne's Bounty was a way to collect revenue from the Church and the tenants in capite, which was later used to help the poor.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
