TION.—A quarterly meeting of the committee of this
society was held at the Board-room on Tuesday. The
following Doesetshire applications were considered,
rig, from the 113 V. F. Marg, for a grant to assist in
the rebuilding and enlargement of the parish
church of Handley, the chancel of which watt rebuilt
some short time since by the Ecclerialtical Commis-
sioners. The proposed w trk would increase the
accommodation from 374 to 396 nate, for a p tpulstioe
ef 1,160 persool, the estimated cut being £l7OO, of
which ELMO had been 'provided. Some explanations
and alteration, of the plans appeared to b desirable,
and • sub-committee was appointed to confer with the
architect (Mr. Crickmay) thereopon. With this
reservation a provisional grant ,tf £l2O was made. The
next cue was an application from the Rev. J. A-
Benne for all towards the erection of a new church
to be used as a minion chapel, at Weston, in the
parish of Portland, for an outlying population of 550
persona, consisting of quarrymen fishermen, and
agricultural labourers. Of the estiMated cost (Elmo)
only £503 had been raised, aul a grant of £l5O was
therefore voted. The new edifice is to seat 300
pereons, all free and unappropriated In the can of
Lytton Cheyney the Rev. Dr. Colby, the rector,
made an application for help to enlarge the wish
church there, and to meat it, whereby 10 additional
sittings would be secured. It appeared, however,
that the works were already in an advanced stags, and
as the spplieation, moreover, Was unaccompanied by
the requisite plans, the committee were only able to
express their regret that the rules of the society did
not allow them to entertain it. The following grants
were ordered to he paid, the works in each can having
been completed :—To Collinglourne Duds, Wilts,
£5O; to Netherhampton. Wilts, £100; to Wiloot,
Wilts. £7O; to Burstock, Dorset, 40; and to West-
