Churchwardens having reported the present annual income from the Stratford and Plaistow
Estates and Smith's Charity is £156 10s. in excess of the amount required to provide for
payment of the Bread distributed weekly to the Poor, the Trustees of the Charity Estates
were requested to consider and submit to the Vestry a Scheme for the distribution of such
surplus.
The Charity Estates Committee thereupon met, and upon their recommendation the
Vestry approved of increasing the number of recipients of the weekly dole of Bread from
108 to 120. The number was subsequently increased by the Trustees to 150.
The Committee reported they had adjourned until a future Meeting the consideration of a
Scheme for the distribution of the additional funds now received, and to be hereafter received,
from the Charity Estates at Stratford and Plaistow.

the Charity Estate at Stratford, and on the same being presented to the Vestry, notice to
repair, under the Conveyancing Act, 1881, was directed to be served upon the Lessees, which
was accordingly done on the 8th November, 188!).
