should be all ,wed to be buried in their re.netery with-
out paying souse considerable he, because, of course.
they tr•r• exempt snot...log • rate had to be made in
the different parishes for the DOW ground that eenuld
soon be necessary. The gaieties had been thuroughly
discussed at the Board, aced it was referred to We
Hoene dtwoetury, who replied it loud first of all be
referred to the different vestries. Before they cold
take any further steps in the matter tbey wore bound to
refer it to the different vestries. —Me. M. C. Weston said
, the csna•tery was estoblisbel in 1858 whim, a loan of
£3,800 was obtained, to be repaid in RI years in the
following proportions :

and partly twice, and more ground will harm t

CLAW B has Aso been used once. It w odd
thus be seen thet it had been very much ii the
advantage of the non-parable and very mnah
against tie parishioners. In addition t i that, their
grave apace. were filling up very fast. They c ;el I
not go over Clue C more than twize, and they would
soon be e unpelled t ; buy fresh land. Wuo w.all
have to pay for Out ? The parishioners ; and they
night nein havea6 I. or 91. rate. Hu was far from wish-
iog to make a profitoot of the atm t ry like they did at
Woking, Kemal Omen, ; r even et Bath. where it
was • ready good cone ; strict specu;atlon ; but he di 1 I
want UDS hand to wash the other; that the pee ishinners
should not be called up .n to pay rates, but make it
a mill -paying concern if passable. How to in that
warn the queetion. If they ceoll increase the burial
fees for non-parishioners they would then have •
fund. It would he very hard for them, beeline* a
non-parishioner might take a farm, to be buried in
their cemetery, he abould be buried at a lau. expense
than the parishi mar. It w cold answer their purpose
to do He would propose if this were carried into
effect as the Burial Beard suggested, out of this
additional sum they obtained for the sale of grove
spaces to non-parishl niers, they should form a sinking
fund, so that when they had to parable.* the addi-
tional land, which they would'''. ry soon require. they
would have a lital• sum of mosey towards it. If nrt
they would have to make • rate for it. The gees ion
was well discerned at the Burial B aid, and they were
unanimously of opinio ; on the matter, but if the
vestries did not like to back them up, then there was
an end of it —Mr. G. J. G. Gregory did nit gaits see
the force of the argument. Clue A was a very large
porti and very little used, whereas it MN Ceauea C
awl B that were nearly filled. It warn in Class A that
most of the non-parishioners ware buried. They
word' have to buy more ground whether they
More...awl the fees or n rt. Ageio, elr. Weston argued tint
he lea litre li, the parish 30 years, and on • £5O house
had pail £33 or 'al. NOW he (Nit.. Gregory) had
lived in the parish of St. Poter's 29 years, and had
rented • ESO house. He heel purchase I two grave
spaces from the commencement, but now, bemuse he
had just gone over the boundary, if he required in-
immune be should have to pay four guineas instead rd
one. He did not call th .t jusUce. He hal peld
rates the acme as Mr. Weston, yet because be bad
just gone over the boundary his fees would be gnad-
rupled. He hopol the vrntry would bee the force of
the argument, an I do the same aa the other pariahs*
bad done that m truing—reject the propornition.—Mr.
J. R. Taylor mentioned he bought Ayling-villa some
years ago, but had lived in Holy 'Trinity parish 30 years.
Ayllng.villa was in the pariah of Fordiagtou, and if
be happened to bury his wife or she ham, because he
lived In AyUng-terrane. am he hoped to do some day,
instead of Trinity-street, he should have to pay a
doable fee. He thought there ought to be some kind
of exemption for people in the parish. They could
put it on total strange.. if they liked.—Mr. J. Hazel
said supporting he had • brother away apprenticed in
• business house, or a son or daughter in a boarding
rahool, and they were brought home for burial,
would they be non-parishioners ? —Mr. Lick held that
being part of the family they wool I be perisblonare.
—Mr. Hazel ; But supposing • lirothar or sist...e was
married. and went out of the t ;ern to live )—Mr.
Lock That is different.— titer further diseased :it,
Mr. R. R. Stayner moved, and 'lr. Taylor seconded,
that the fees remain all at the pres-nt time. —Carried.
—Mr. Weldon wished to say the Burial Baud heal
not made this proposition from ant parsonel feeling,
but for the good of the town.— Ar. Hand raid for
the matter of that he should be willing t ; pr i.e a
vote of thanks to them f .r their efforts.— l'he vestry
then primesdrni to consider the proposed new
veteran), and the overseers were directed to prepare
the list..
