they should empower the overseers to go into the
mounts, use what was oollsoted and what was
not, and proemial • balance sheet to a epeeist parish
meeting. To that end he woald propose " that the
overseers be requested to investigate the amounts,

would do his best, but as they would have to call upon
every ratepayer, he hoped that those who had paid their
rates would not be offended at their making • seoond
aali,—T he abilnlall observed that the next question had
reference to the burial ground. They wanted to decide
the position of the clergy of the perish of Whaborne
and Holt, and if the rights ones belonging to the
Peculiar were now vested in them—The Rev. C. Onslow
said that he claimed the freehold of Holt burial ground
as ins light ; he did not core • rush about the fees.
If he had taken them, he merely did so to show his
rights. He considered the freehold the property of the
person, end if any doubt existed the best way out of it
would be to obtain ocionsel's opinion.—Kr. Knuckles
decidedly opposed the muss the Rev. C. °aglow had
taken in accepting fees for !maddens', /se., and thought
that the poor of the parish should not be charged.—
The Rev. C. Onslow said when he went to Holt he
found the ohmahrird in • very bed state, and he at
cam claimed his raght, simply for the porpoise of keep-
ing the Maria ground in • tidy eoadltion. If any stone
was erected without first eonsultinghim, he au/old
refer the matter to the Roolesiestioal Court, and litiga-
tion would follow.—The Chairman said the only way
out of the diflioulty was for both parties to agree to a
wise to he laid before cionneeL A proposition to that
effect was pat and carried—hl ayes against 7 noes.—
Mx. Parkinson proposed, and the Rev. 11. 8. Keddie
