mitted that he had mixed the moneys received
from the parish of Walbrook with his own private moneys,
but he denied that he had appropriated such moneys
to his own use.—(Laughter.) What could be thought
of a man acting in this manner ? What trust
could be placed in such a man ? If this had at
first been known the parish would never have permitted
him to hold the office of churchwarden for such a term of
years. After touching upon several of the matters referred
t? by lama. Flight and Rock, the Rev. Gentleman con-
aed:—Yie had now to mention another little matter, and

Mr. Alderman Gibbs afterwards on the subject ; he then gave
up the chop, and said that he had paid it for him (Dr.
Croly) to the charity for supplying the poor of London. He
(pr. Croly) insisted that he had always paid the amount of
his subscription into the hands of Mr. Gibbs, and that, there-
fore, this could not be, and he sent, some time after, his col-
lector to the churchwarden's house, where he was
reluctantly obliged to disburse the eight guineas de-
manded from him.—(Cries of "Shame.") After alluding
to the different trusts in which Mr. Gibbs held office,
Croly said that he had determined, and he acted now
upon that determination, never to pay a shilling into any
Charity in which Mr. Gibbs was treasurer.—Hear, hear.)
After a few words from Mr. Rocx and others, thanks
Were voted to the chairman, and the vestry broke up.
