(ii.) The Houses and Land situate in the Plaistow Road, and extending to the
Stratford Road, West Ham. Four of the said houses have been leased to
J. S. D. Moore, at a yearly rent amounting to £17, and four others to
W. T. Bennett, at a yearly rent amounting to £16, and the land let upon
a Building lease to Mr. W. Stotesbury, Deptford, at a present yearly
rental of £150. As the houses on this land are built they will be leased
by the Trustees, and the Lessees of such houses will become liable for
that portion of their rent, and the amount is deducted from that originally
payable by Mr. Stotesbury. Some have been so built and leased as shown
in the recapitulation marked (a).

We have already stated that the distribution of these Charities should be in Bread,
and we are of opinion, after mature consideration, that the increase of income must be
also used for the same purpose.
