In June, 1860, the Vestry caused a system of drainage to be provided for the
property, Manor-row, Baltic-place and Crystal-terrace, and the houses abutting
thereon are now in course of being connected therewith, the old open sewer,
Manor-row, having been filled up.
The Vestry also caused the sewer, rear of Dartmouth-terrace, Rotherhithe
New-road, to be extended one hundred feet further west; the ground Landlord
having contributed towards the cost according to the scale laid down by the
Vestry.
The Vestry have likewise provided means of drainage for the houses on
Rectors-islands, Jamaica-level, by continuing the pipe sewer from Prospect-place,
under the mill-stream, to the south side thereof; the Owner of the property having
carried out the remainder of the work at his own expense.
In January, 1861, the Vestry forwarded to the Metropolitan Board of Works
the following protest upon that Board proposing to introduce into Parliament a
Bill for amending the Metropolis Local Management Act, containing, among other
provisions, a clause for the re-apportionment of the Rock Loan, viz.:—
"Resolved, — That this Vestry protest against the Metropolitan Board of
"Works introducing any further Bill into Parliament for the re-apportionment of

of the funds of the Metropolitan Board towards any Parliamentary expenses
"that may be intended to be incurred in respect thereto."'
