the Board of Trade to dispense with the assent of the Vestry
if they so deem it expedient.
All of which we submit to the Committee, &c.
The Vestry at such meeting determined to consent to
both the above applications; and the Board of Trade have
now introduced a Bill into Parliament to confirm the Provisional

Boundary of the Parish, but including the streets named,
