and after a short conversation approved. A letter was
read lom the Poor-Law Commissioners, reminding the
Vestty of their present limited surplus, and requiring to
be furnished with an estimate of the probable cost of the
prop•,..ed new p.-rish-offices. The attention of the over-
seer+ having been directed to the case of a Mrs, Owen,
who had become a pensioner on the parish through the
mis-application of one of the trustees of some money left

The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Mr. Bremner, sta-
ting that he understood it was the intention of some of
his friend, to elect him to the vacant sear. If it were the
unanimous wish of the Select *Vestry, bnt on no other
conditit'ons. he would accept a seat at the Board. If any
opposition were made, even though he were elected, be
could not consistently with his own feelings and honour
acc,,pi the seat.
Mr. 'RIDING .aid it would not be very courteous to the
pari.hone.s to elect him after he had been passed over at
the Vestry, and he therefore Legged to propose Mr. Thos.
Arthur 13ushby. Mr. Busliby was elected sidesman last
year, and again this year, and would probably be the
churchwarden ; and as be could learn more of his duties
as churchwarden whilst sidescnan, unless he b,-came a
member of the Select Vestry, he (Mr. R.) had waited
upon him and had obtained his consent to be put in no-
mination as successor to Mr. Ferguson.
