REGENT'S CANAL DOCK AND RAILWAY BILL.
The Vestry petitioned Parliament in favour of the Bill which
proposed to authorise within certain limits the payment of interest
on Capital during the progress of the Works. Until lately
Parliament has disapproved of and prohibited interest being paid
out of Capital, but is now disposed to relax what has heretofore
been regarded as a necessary restriction in the interest of the
Shareholders and of the Public. In this case and in some others
Parliament has given power to pay interest on Capital during the
period allowed for construction and before income is earned.

LEVERINGTON CHARITY.
Ail the recipients of last year were found to be alive and qualified,

The surviving 38 recipients of last year were elected recipients
for this year, and the two vacancies were supplied by the election
of Elizabeth, the widow of the late William Griffin, and by the
re-election of Susan J ones, who, last year, was erroneously supposed
to have left the Parish.
