poor rate should be settled sad made by the pa bhirmen
assembled in apes vestry, sad it would be foustd:ss re.

antherities upon the sUje et, a het whom we r.

also taken the opinion of the Attenuty-thaeral, who ow
toialy upraised his Inability to reermeile the eonthetlag
pruLdoss of the new aet, but although he considered that
the question was involved in eouiderable obscurity, he
had also arrived at the enelasion that " whoa the manage-
mat of the poor was vested in vestries, each management
basso transferred to the new bod" The several opinions
of sunset had been submitted by the ehurchwardans to the
Pest-law Bowl, hen whom as intimation was returned
that the parish eiders were fully justified in acting epos

I now held la my band a commutation which I revoived
Gem that gentleman, se late as the 2nd inst., to the following
Wan:

would have answered your letter of the 26th
alt. before this, but I have been very unwell. The tone of
my opinion must have shown you the very grave doubts
I entertained upon the subject to which your letter re-
I fors. I feel that the parishes of the metropolis ought not
I to be involved in litigation on such a matter, and I propose
immediately to bring in a bill to remove the doubts and
difilealtise which exist on the subject of making the poor
rates. I shall hasten the hill through parliament with the
stead espeditice, and I recommend the new vestry of your
puish to do nothing till this bill shall have passed, which I
have no doubt it will—Your., dtc ,
"A. I. B. Cockatiku "

The magistrate cone;dered that it was incambeat styes
him to attach his eigaatare to the rate is the ordinary form,
',lsiah was accordingly dote, tad all the parties left the
mart.

In the wane of the proesedisp it was intimated that a
tarp body of the parbluorten had ezpreseed their detersi-
autos to milt the paymeat of the rate, and that as ONO-
(dation had tees orpateed for that purpose.
