puree of sulkies • rate for the relief of the poor of
the pariah, and aloe to re-consider the gustier' ol
trepesnag the cloak and chimes of the church, which
had been adjourned from be meeting of the previous
week. —The Rev. R. 0. Wawa presided, mid there
were snout 20 parishioners present. The ponce coc.
using the vestry having been reed, a rate of 6d. is
the A, aunnting to £96 19e. 44., was granted for
the relief of the poor of the perish. The disicession
on the clock and chimes wee again revived.—Mr.
Hodges inked Um chairman to reed the former
latices convening the vestry for tbis object, which
having been dose, showed that the clock and chimes
were to be inumained, and their condition reported to
tbe weary. —Mr. Hodges inquired if this had been
dose, wises Mr. Hicks replied that it bad, the re-
sult at "'hid appeared in the minutes of the last
vestry, ekes it was decided what should be done to
the clock and chimes. —Mr. Hodges wanted to know
what "further coesideratiou" mesa; if the

replied the gouda, for consideration now, was the
raising of the money.—Mr. Mills said be was pre-
pared with the money for the estimate which was
given at the last mestiag. —Mr. Hicks wasted to
hone by whose orders tits works oosuseeted with the
(dock had been ementensed. He bad given no in-
structions. Seppoia this meeting was t 3 rescind

Oise ma we had given any direct order for the work
to be proceeded witit—Mr. Hodges ameidend the
vestry had gem • little too Mall. the /matter. Hsi
referred to the prowler meetings as the subject of
the stook and albinism, and said be ousidered that
the fast esestine was not callai for the purpose of
deciding the quetium, bet simply to receive a report
of the state of the clock and domes, and deliberate
thereon. Sines that time two gentlemen had col.
looted mosey, and had met with great boeeele, and
It was the wish, not ouly in the parish, but out ail.
that tb• cloak and chimes should be pat in good
repair. He considered, and Is this opinion he was
boom out by Mr. &tandem, that the *edition of the
clock was snob that it would be very movies to lay
oat • large sum of money open it. The edloieticy of
the chimes depended upon the clock, and it would he
wises before nay mooey was upended upon them,
to see the stela of both; if that was not dose it
would be like throwing away money. He hardly
knew what position the vinery had placed them-
wives in by soorptine Mr. Curtia's Wader. He
should have liked for the repots so the state of the
clock and chimes to have been 'motive& and then
they corild coosider what shredd be due, and the
amount of money it would require, not only to pat
the chimes in order, but to substitute • new clock,
sappostug that an outlay on the present one was not
desirable. If such was the case of wares the ex.
pure would be more, but this, he believed, might
be easily obtained. H. thought the &Maio° of the
last vestry bad plated them in • difficulty in the
mutat, and be should be very sorry to see any large
sum of money expended awes the old clock.
He said the rums why he was absent

Somerset There had not bees nay mottos in-
viting tendera—Mr. Mills rose to tusk about the
difference in tbe cost of the two estimates, when
Mr. Hicks reminded him that that was not what
the mee`eing was talking about; the irregularity of
the proormlings at the last vestry were being dis-
cussed. Mr. Andrews sari that if all the vestry
proceedings hitherto bad not been irregalie be was
mach surprised.—Mr. Hodges considered it would
have been far hatter if the former vestry had decided
am to the nature of the repairs of the cloak and
chimes which they would recommend, and then to
have instructed the churchwardens to invite tenders

tory condition. —Mr. Mantield replied that wee
all that can required ; and sufficient money wee
raised for that purpose. —Mr. Halgesonnaidered the
question was whether the vestry should go to •
greeter expense in repairing the clock and chimes
than that proposed. He tbought it would ho pre-
ferable to raise t7O fir iii,, purpose than zoo,
Mr. Mandela said the money would never Itemised.
Only C3O were asked 11.. it.— Mr. Curtis denied that
the oho& was in had condition • it was in better
order than the chimes. He spoke as • practical
ewe, and amid safely say it would go
for 100 years, and would wear out the toes
clock. Mr. Barter had also expreesd • similar
opioion. The clock was better now. since Mr.
Venables hail repaired it, than it was 20 years ago
It is "go" for 100 years. Mr. Ilodg. •
inquired if it would "go" correctly. Any cloth
" go," but went either glow or fart.
Mr. Andrees was of opinion that if anything wan
to lie dime to the clock the vestry ought to
gore it to a townsmen if possible. —Mr. Manlield
re narked that two of a trade could Geyer agree
He was in tomer of accepting the lowest tender.
Mr Ho lime said if it wa• considered that the
dome too at the last vestry este binding it would
lie o.ong t. attempt to alter it, hut at the same
time h , was sorry to see that in the face of the
report. of the clock being untarialactory, to I'3o
spent for putting th. chimes in order. He would
rwi her make an effort for raising a larger um 111
order to bare a better clock. Mr. Hick. con- '
sioered the eiretry were not bound to lay not £3O if
they could make • better job by raising more money.

bad been mad. by sayeial porous, Mr. Auditors
said he thought the vestry were precluded from
going any Collier, when Mr. H.eks mtain asserted
that be did not think they were bound by the
decision at the fortileT meeting. He thought
whether they ought to be tatiserol that for
an outlay of £6 the clock would keep
tunic correctly. He thought it would be
&fishable to obtain more money for that
purpose—Mr. Ensor Meted that Mr. Curtis bed
guaranteed to keep the clock in order. Mr.
Andreas informed the latter that if he dui not do an,
" he would be kept in gaol till be had paid the
tamest farthing."— Mr. Gregory saggeweel that no
rummy should I is forthcoming until the clock was meted
by an experienced prom— Mr. Andrewsconsidered
that would be rather too hard. Ile suggested that
• quarter of the money should be paid inch,..
months, a half in six, and three-quarters in nine,
and the other portion should be retained for 18
months in order to test lb. work—After seine
further discussion Mr. Andrews proposed a reeola•
tioe to the effect that Mr. Mills having guaranteed
the pat meet of the money for the tepidr of the
clock and chimes, that the male be immediately

elievalorrardens..- Mr. Mn.., esusin.leJtrnP.eltico.
and it was oarned.—Mr. Mills that the
sabeoriptioa list amounted to £39 10e., and be
thought that if ealleient foods could be raised
it would be advisable to have two tunes instead of
one on the chimes. —The vestry then brek• up.
