Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, commonly called " Sir John
Hobhouse's Vestries Act," are sought to be destroyed; and, 2.
To take into consideration the subject of the Poor-law Con-
tinuance Bill.

A communication from the "Parochial Society," dated
this day, was read by the Vestry Clerk, announcing the inex
pediency of proceeding further with the parish Bill until next
Session.

Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting have witnessed
with surprise and indignation the attempt made by a body of
persons, calling themselves the " Parochial Society," to intro-
duce a Bill into the House of Commons to make important
alteration in the Acts that ,govern the parish without any
authority from the parishioners so to do ; and this
Meeting hereby authorise and require that, in the event of any
similar attempt being made by any set of persons, the repre-
sentative Vestry do immediately convene a public meeting of
the parishioners to consider the same.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this Meeting
are due and are hereby given to Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart.,
Member for the borough, for his active and persevering
endeavours to overthrow the late attempt to destroy
the existing rights of local government; and this Meeting
further earnestly call upon the Hon. Member to continue the
same watchful care in respect to any future measure by which
the vested interests of the parishioners may be directly or in-
directly compromised.
Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing resolutions be ad-
vertised in the morning papers. NUGENT Chairman.

was appointed thereto; and thanks having been unanimously
voted to Lord Nugent for his impartial conduct as Citairman,—

to both Houses of Parliament against the Bill for the continu-
ance of the Poor-law Aniendmcnt Act, and that such peti-
tions be signed by the Chairman, and be counter-signed by

Lords only; and that a petition be also presented to her Majesty
the Queen, beseeching her to withhold her Royal assent to the Bill
now pending in Parliament for a continuance of the Poor-law
Amendment Act, and praying that her Majesty will dismiss
