well ask for what the money had bean expended ;
he, however, could not tell them. Probably,
if the Directors were asked, and he was sorry that none
were present, they would say that on the 11th of De-
cember they paid the arrear of the County Rate-
-3,6741. ; that on the 31st they paid up the Police
Rate, and a fine arrear it was truly ; in the month
of July it exceeded 4,292/, and on the 31st December
had increased to the enormous sum of 7,2921.—(5hame.)
How that had taken place he could not tell. Such facts
as these, he trusted, would fully convince the meeting that
it was utterly impossible to carry on the affairs of the parish
proper!, with such persons as had hitherto been at the head
of it,and he trusted, therefore, in May next the pat ishioners
would mark their opinions of the conduct that bad been
pursued.—(Cries of "We will.") If they did so they
would find the expenses of the parish materially
diminished. It was absurd to suppose, in an opulent
parish like Pancras, a poor rate of 3s. Bd. in the pound
for the year WAS necessary for parish purposes. He would
not go farther : in this country it unfortunately hap.
pened that the greatest truth was the greatest libel. If,
therefore, he had fallen short of speaking of parties as they
deserved, it was on that account he left the meeting to
draw their own conclusion, feeling convinced they would
he upset. He could not omit to state that one of the
charges on the account for half a-year was 99/. for
leeches.—(Shame, shame, and cries of " They ought to
have had them put on their hicks.") The worthy gentle-
man concluded an excellent speech by proposing the fol.
lowing resolution
" That this meeting learn with surprise and dis•
pleasure the intended incr., ase of the poor rate of four-
pence in the p.iund for the current half year, and regret
that the old vestry should h ive so unwisely conducted the
parochial affairs as to render such increase requisite to
preserve the character of the parish, and to liquidate the
heavy arrears of the police and County Rate occasioned
by their imprudent management.
Mr. COOKK seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanirnou•ly.

Mr. MURPHY TM to propose the 2d resolution, and
was speaking when our reporter left.
