Prefatory Note.
Saint George the Martyr, Southwark.
FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VESTRY.
PREFATORY NOTE.
This Report, being for the year ending on the 25th of March, 1861, is prepared and
printed in pursuance of the provisions of the " Metropolis Local Management Act."
The Sanitary condition of the Parish and the proceedings of the Vestry in relation
thereto are amply detailed in the Report of the Medical Officer of Health. (See page 11).
The General Proceedings of the Vestry are shewn by the Accounts and Statements
(vouched by the Auditors) which immediately follow the Lists of Vestrymen and Officers.
The prospect, intimated in the last Report, that the efforts made by the Yestry to meet
the exigencies of the Parish with the greatest possible economy would lead to a reduction
of the General Rate, has been fully realized. The Half Yearly General Rates made since
have not exceeded 9d. in the Pound.
To this Report are appended the Accounts of the Churchwardens for the year, from
the date of their admission to that of the admission of their successors, which will be seen
also to have been audited by the Auditors of the Parish.
Any Parishioner not furnished with a copy of this Report will be supplied with one
on application to the Yestry Clerk at the Yestry Hall.
DANIEL BIRT,
Vestry Clerk.
Vestry Hall, Borough Road,
June 2nd, 1861.
