Mrs. Ann Newton's Charity.
This Charity, for the apprenticing of one poor boy of
St. James's annually from the Union School, which was
formerly administered by the Board of Governors and
Directors of the Poor, has, owing to the abolition of that
Board, been placed, by an order of the Charity Commissioners,
dated the 15th August, 1890, under the management
of the Guardians of the Poor elected for this Parish.

Broder and Others.
This income (£21 6s.) from this Charity, for the relief of
poor housekeepers and others, is entirely at the disposal of
the Rector. It has been usual for the Rector to hand
£15 14s. 8d. to the Sick and Visiting Fund, the balance,
£5 l1s. 4d., being applied to special cases as they arise.

Ann Forster.
The income of this Charity is to be applied in keeping
Forster's tomb in proper order, and the balance is to be
distributed each year amongst six poor deserving women.
The Charity is at the disposal of the Rector only, and he
has been in the habit of dividing the available balance,
after tomb expenses, into gifts of £1 10s. each, and distributing
these amongst the several Ecclesiastical Districts of the
Parish. The Hon. Secretary to the Charity is Mr. Redman,
as before.
