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
Vestry 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 per
Cent. Annuities. Under the scheme for converting the
funded National Debt, the income of this Charity will be
reduced by nearly £25 per annum.
A statement of the Accounts for the past year is given on
page 130.
