Yesterday a Vestry Meeting of tl palish of St. 13e-
' tolph Without, Aldersgate, was held, to determine as to
the mode of disposing of certain monies for charitable
purposes, in consequence of the discovery of a continued
mal-appropriation by a public"company, during 245 Teats
uninterruptedly. • •
In 1559, Dame Ann Packington, by will, gavo certain
lands at Islington, to be held by the Clothworkers' Com-
pany in trust, to receive the rents, which then amounted
to 16/. 16s. 9d., of which they were to distribute to the
poor of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. Si. 13s. 4d., and to
the poor inhabitants of the parish (St. Boto!ph's, Alders-
gate) where she was buried Si., and also Si. for the edu-
cation of the children of the poor in, this parish ; 6s. Sd.
were to be given to two learned men for yearly sermons in
the two parishes ; and the ClothwOrkers' Company, for
their trouble, were to have 41. 10s, Id. This will was
discovered in consequence of the investigations of the Com-
missioners for inquiring into the Public Charities, and it
was likewise asceitained that the annual rental of the pro-
perty was new nearly 4801- per annum, and likely to in-
crease very considerably. The inhabitants of this parish
had been in the 'habit of receiving a small sum (the pit-
taneo- allotted by the testatrix at the original rents of the
estates) from the Clothworkers' Company. No one knew
in what way the gift arose, but it Was generally viewed
as an actustomed act of benevolence on the part o
the Clothworkers' Company, which, in consequence,
received credit for being one of the most charitable
of the City Companies. A suit was, however, insti-
tuted by the Attorney-General, at the instance of the Com-
missieners, against this Company, and a few weeks:since
the inhabitants were extremely surprised to learn that their
benevolent friends had, during upwards of two centuries,
pocketed the whole of the improved rents, which equitably
belong to theta (the inhabitunts.) An order from the
Court of Chancery compellsd the Company not to disgorge
what they had eaten, but to discontinue eating at the ex-
pence of the poor, and three-sixteenths of the annual rental
of the estate were ordered to be given to the poor, and
three-sixteenth.. to be applied to the education of the child.
ren of this parish; • the remainder was to be distributed in
the like proportions to the other parties concerned. - The
inhabitants of this parish now met to determine on the
specific mode of applying the money destined for the.edu-
cation of the poor.

Mr. STACEY (the Secretary to the City of London
Literary and Scientific Institution) directed the attention
of the inhabitants to an admirable principle set forth its
the order of the Court of Chancery, which stated, " That
in the distribution of the charity hereby directed, prefer-
ence shall in all cases be given to such persons as have never
received parochial relief, or have been the longest without
having received such relief." He proposed, that as many
of the children of these persons as could be instructed by
means of the funds restored to the parish, should be
educated by private schoolmasters, with whose pupils they
might associate without the degradation of a badge, or a
pauper's dress.--This proposal was carried.
