MILOOIIIII Rrol. VESTIT. —On Thursday mornings
vestry meeting was held at the vestry room. There
were present the Rev. T Gnomes ((he rector), G.
Andrews, Esq. ; Marra W. Cole and R. Reynolds,
chumhwardens ; also Messrs. J. Robertson. T. Fooks,
S. Mace, H. Fooks, J. Vincent, G. R. Crickmay, B.
Commins, R. Major, and others. The making of •
churchrate was the only business on the paper. The
estimate of expenses were submitted by the senior
churchwarden (Mr. Cole), amounting to Ern 13. A
rate of 2jd. in the L would cover that amount. —Mr.
Crickmay stated that the roof of the church required
• thorough overhaul The sum proposed to be spent
upon, it he ems convinced, would be enthely thrown
away, as it was apparent that in a few year.' time
extensive repairs would be absolutely necessary for
keeping the building up. He suggested no appeal to
the pew-owners to carry out any permanent improve-
ment. The rev. chairman said he did not entertain so
sanguine • view of the feelings of the liest %Assn on
the subject, but there would be no harm to try the
effect of an appeal to them. On the proposition of Mr.
J. Robertson, seconded by Mr. It. Commins, the grant-
ing of a rate at 244. in the C was unanimously carried.
—The Chairman then submitted an estimate from Mr.
Dent, of Cockspuretreet, Charing-cross, for repairing
the church clock, which amounted to £es, and with
certain extras the sum would be increased to CM. As
this amount could not be included in the estimate for
the church-rate, • discussion followed as to the best
means of raising the money, when Mr. Andrews said
be would see the Town Clerk on the subject, as the
clock was for the benefit of the town at large, and
ascertaithrbether the Local Board could not pant • sum
of money out of their funds towards attaining the
object in view. The further discussion of the question
was allowed to stand over, and • vote of thanks to the
chairman closed (ho meeting.
