As such he was responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy within the Ross Diocese.
Details are sketchy until we get to Meredith Hanmer, the first incumbent of whom we have a full biography, to the last discrete holder Dominick Patrick Sarsfield Wilson. In between William Fitzgerald, Percy Jocelyn and William Bissett went on to be bishops.
