PUBLIC -VESTRY, ST. LEONARD'S,

SHORRDITCH.

Considerable dissatisfaction hasbeen lately manifested
at the partial manner in which the houses are rated in
this parish, some being to the full value, others at two.
thirds, and not a few at only half. A Committee was,
in consequence, appointed some time since to confer
with the Trustees, to inquire into the extent of the evil,
and report the result to the Vestry.

A public meeting was held yesterday to receive this Report, and
the Vestry-room being too small, the meeting adjourned to the body
of the Church.

About four o'clock the Chair was taken by Mr. l'l'Airract., the
Senior Churchwarden.

The Report, which was very voluminous, was read
by the Vestry Clerk. It reflected strongly upon the
conduct of the Trustees, who, it appeared, had treated
the Deputa.ion with great indifference. It concluded,
by recommending a few Resolutions to be adopted by
that Meeting.
First—That thirty-two parishioners should be selected, eight
from each of the four districts, five of whom should form a quorum,
for the purpose of making a general survey of the parish.
Second—That the Committee should be empowered to examine
the rate-books, collect infotmation, and strike an equalization for

the parish.
Third—That the amended rate-books do lie in the Vestry for
public inspection, at least for one week, and that the Committee do
sit to receive complaints.
Fourth—That the rate•books be presented to the General Corn.
mince in Vestry.
Mr. Lomas moved, that the Report then read be received.—
This being seconded, was carried unanimously.
After a good deal of very angry and noisy discus-
sion, the recommendation in the lieport was carried
into eff.ct, the Committee named, and it was resolved
that they should bear their own expenses. Thanks were
voted to the Chairman, ~nd the Meeting adjourned.
