Table to illustrate suspension of prebends at Rochester, 1841-57, in accordance with Stat. 3 & 4 Vic. c. 113
s.13 And be it enacted, That in the Chapter of the Cathedral Church of . . . Rochester, . . . Two canonries shall be suspended in the following Order; (that is to say,) . . . the first vacant Canonry shall be suspended and the Canonry secondly vacant shall be filled up, and the Canonry thirdly vacant shall be suspended . . .
| Vacancy | How occasioned | Prebend | Outcome |
| 1st | J. Marsham d. 28 Jan. 1840 | I | suspended |
| 2nd | F. Hotham d. 11 Oct. 1854 | III | T. Robinson pres. |
