ST. PANCRAS VESTRY AND TUE ROMAN CATHO.
LlM—Yesterday a meeting of the vestry' of St. Pancras took
plea at the new vestry-rooms. Kieg'easd, Camden Town,
to consider the position in which the vestry wire placed in
having consented to grant a leas of the old vestry-roans, in
Gordon-square, to the Bev. Dr. Wiseman and other Boman
catholic', for the. purposes or a Roman catholic grommet
school.—Mr. Churchwarden Healey having ban celled to
the chair, Mr. M'Oahey, the vestry clerk. read a communi-
cation from Yr. Hardy, the steward to his Grace the Duke
of Bedford, enclosing certain protests which his grace had
naiad from a number of his tenantry, calling upon him to
=dito them quiet and peaceable possession of their
, and calling upon him, in the event of the
vestry persisting in the letting of the old vestry
rooms for such a purpose, to proceed to an eject-
ment of the vestry for breaches of the covenants
of their lease. This the letter expressed the Inten-
tion of his grace the duke to do, and warned the vestry
that, a school being held in law to be a erode, a breech of one
of the covenants would be committed thereby, and that in
the event of the ejectment being successful, they would
Tecate a valuable leas.—Mr. Heath, the solicitor to the
vestry, stated that he had received a communication from
Dr. Wissman'e solicitors, calling on him forthwith to perfect
the lease and give them pomade's of the premise', as the
vestoy had entered into a contract to do so. At this stags of
the proceedings, it was announced that Mr Southgate, from
the office of Misers. &adding, the clerk to the church
trustees, was in attendance, to serve a notice on the vestry
clerk in the preemies of the vestry. The vestry refused to
admit the party for such a purpose, and ultimately the docu-
asset was served upon the vestry clerk by being sent in by
one of the beadles. It was read, end was a protest signed by
seven ratepayer', headed by Mr. &adding, against the con-
version of the old vestry rooms into a school, It being a
nuisance, and detrimental to the property on the estate of the
Duke of Bedford; and also giving farther notice that the said
vestry-rooms being so used, would involve a forfeiture of
the lease to the damage and injury of the parish, and that
therefore the parties as ratepayers would hold the vestry
separately and individually reuponsiblu for such less.—Mr.
Barnes urged upon the vestry, after these warning', not to
run thends of proceeding with this lease to the Roman
catholic gentlemen.—Mr. Brettiogham thought it better that
the vestry should take the opinion of one of the most emi-
nent counsel of the day, and the probability was that Dr.
Wiseman and hie friends would join in taking that opinion.
He would move that the solicitor bo instructed to prepare a
case for the *pinion of counsel in the matt, r.—The chair-
man declared his anaction that the vestry could get set of
the &Salty by refusing to complete the contract for grant-
ing the lease, without compromising their honour, and the
modes was sartied.—Mr. Tiffin then moved that s depute-
demersiton Dr. Wisemaa,aecompanied be the solicitor to the
eauley, a represent the difficulty which had arisen, and
affiereour to induce him to a friendly withdrawal from the
t.—This motion was also adopted—Cowen
Iynrr 1111 r. Barnes celled the attention of the vestry to the
remarks of Sir Peter Lurie on Elatanlay last, in »fiance
to the attempt to erect a new paw" at a cat of 200,0001. to
the conaty. He wished to knew U there wee any return
made et how the county rate wee expended, and whether it
was true that the aunty of Middlesex were in debt
300,0001.?—Mr. M'Clakey said it was true, and that the
accounts were forwarded to as& palish quarterly.—Mr.
Barnes said be should at a attire secaing give soda of
motion on tea subject, S. it ere high time the parielissinter-
posed to deck the expenditure of the weep imagistestes.—
The patsy then sepairted.
