Saint George the Martyr, Southwark.
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VESTRY.
PREFATORY NOTE.
The Eighth Annual Report of the Vestry of this Parish, being that for the Year ending
on the 25th March, 1864, is prepared in pursuance of the Provisions of the Metropolis
Management Acts, and submitted to the Parishioners and the Public.
As usual the particulars of the Sanitary condition of the Parish will be found in the
Eeport of the Medical Officer of Health and the various Tables comprised therein. The
Vestry Accounts and other statements now given afford a general view of the operations of
the Vestry. The several Accounts of the Churchwardens relating to the Rector's Eate,
the Third Service Fund, and the various Parochial Charities, are subjoined; and also those
of the Overseers in respect of the Poor Eate, the General Eate, the Sewers Eate, and the
Metropolitan Main Drainage Eate. The Account of the Eeceipts and Expenditure of the
Guardians during the Year and the Statistics of Pauper Eelief in the Parish are also given.
The Vestry has caused to be appended to this Eeport, as to that of 1860, the List of
Estates and Charitable Foundations or Bequests. During a portion of the current
year the Vestry and the Vestry Clerk have been engaged in endeavouring to obtain
through the Charity Commissioners, more satisfactory arrangements with regard to these
Estates and Charities, and it is hoped that before the close of the year such arrangements
may, greatly to the advantage of the Parish, be to a large extent completed.
Every Parishioner who may apply at the Vestry Hall for a copy of this Eeport will be
furnished with one without charge.

Vestry Clerk.
