LE QUAINTER'S CHARITY.
The only Charity which is administered by the Vestry is
that known as Le Quainter's. It arises from a bequest, in
1782, by Mr. Peter Le Quainter, formerly a resident in
Piccadilly, who directed that the income should be "equally
distributed at Christmas amongst twenty poor persons who
are or have been housekeepers in the Parish of St. James,
Westminster, and such as the Rector and Churchwardens, and
the other gentlemen for the time being who shall compose
the Yestry of the said Parish, shall deem to be proper objects,
and the most deserving to partake of the same." The
property of the Charity consists of £9,969 2s. 9d. New Three
