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 £9,909 2s. 9d. Two
and Three-quarters per cent. Annuities.
