BRIDPORT.

Tins CIMETZRY.—A vestry meeting was held at St.
Mary's Church, on Thursday, "to receive a report
from the Burial Board of the said parish, in reference
to the new burial ground; to authorise the Board to
expend a sufficient sum (as set forth in the report) for
planting and laying out the burial ground, and to
empower the Board to borrow with the approval of
the commissioners of Her Majesty's treasury the
money required for that purpose; and also to give
authority to the Board to pay an increase of wages
to the lodge-keeper." The Rector having read the re-
port of the Burial Board, Mr. E. Nicholetts proposed
'That the report of the Burial Board of this parish be
received and adopted, and that the Burial Board be
authorised to spend any sum not exceeding £l4O for
the purpose of planting the new burial ground, and
providing pathways as mentioned in the report, and
that the said Burial Board be empowered to borrow
any sum not exceeding £l4O, from any person or
persons willing to lend the same." He remarked that
in his journeys he had visited many burial grounds,
and had found that they were beautifully planted,
and it would be extremely ruortifyiug_to see that
Bridport was behind in that respect. He sincerely
hoped and trusted that the resolution would be car-
ried unanimously. Mr. J. Gundry seconded the re-
solution. The question then arose as to whether the
Burial Board had the power to take the old church-
yard in hand. Mr. Hebbeck moved "That the sum
of £2OO be inserted in the first resolution, such part
of the additional £BO aa may be deemed necessary
and proper by the Board to be used for the planting
and putting in proper order the old churchyard of
Bridport." Mr. S. W. Whothatu said be felt
equally anxious that the old churchyard should be put
in proper order, and he had therefore great pleasure in
seconding the resolution of Mr. Bebbeok. The rec-
tor said he should be extremely glad to see the old
churchyard put in order at the some time as the
cemetery, for be thought it was very desirable. Both
'the original resolution, and Mr. Hulibeck's proposi-
tions were then put to the mooting, and carried.
