ThiVirmastatsyielld, he only wished that decency
shod chstracterisnisthe conduct of every Gentleman
peak'. he would pbtiently bear every body, and would
, fee the Gehtlemsm a tin of the perfltu *holed s gned'
the circular for tilling the meeting, and he hoped that
would be satisfactory.
• The Gzeriesean, whose name was now stated to be
Oar grave, said that tyre'd satisfy him for the present.
The business of the Meet kg then proceeded..
Mr. JAIIIII Younn, Mr. RRILLY Mr. Pamirs, and
lathes. Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting at very great
length upon the subject of the obscurity which the
.affairs of the parish are said to be kept. They con-
tended, the rental was so enormous that the entire,ma-
nagentent should not be left to the Vestry. On inspec-
tion of the parish accounts, ai.exposed to them, they
concurred in observing, only tended to bewilder and
leave them more in the dark; and after a lettgtheoed
discussion, a proposition was given out that the Meeting
disapproved of the present mode in which the affairs or
the parish *ere conducted, and that an application be
made to the Vestry, calling upon them to give an ac-
count of the parish rates and their expenditure.
Mr. HA RGRA vs started up, and ridiculed the whole
thing as perfectly laughable, declaring he could not
suppose men, having the appearance of some know-.
ledge of affairs of the world, could start a' propio-
sition to a Select Vestry, having so much folly on
the face of it—(Hisses). He would give them 'an expla-
nation of the meaning of a Select Vestry, and tea-them
that they could not compel that Vestry to suffer any
inspection of their affairs—(Hisses). He knew they did
not understand what they were talking about. He was
perfectly. .convinced of,it..--(A voice," yes are paid fur
coming here.")—" That's false," said he. (('Treat uproar
and hisses.) "I ctutit care for the Select Vestry any
more than I do for the foolish people that called
matting "Misses.) " I move that
.this merlin a
now adjourn."
A Persrn here vociferated " pull h'm down," " *trn.
him out," and a person caught hold of his legs, when
the fable broke.
Mr. PH irrs is vain endeavoured to obtain a hearing;
but was opposed by Mr. Hargrave, and- one or two
others, and at length the Chairman quitted the chair,
and the meeting was declared dissolved, amidst the
loudest shouts of laughter and applause.
It was said that one or two persons who had received
blows in cite confusion, from a person who accompanied
Mr. Hargrave, declared their intention of obtaining
legal redress.
These were about 200 persons assembled at the open.'
ing of the Meeting, but at the termination there were
above five times that number in the room and about
the place.
