charity estates—continued.
St. Anne, Soho, in certain of the charities specified in the
Scheme which have for very many years been enjoyed
solely by the parishioners of the parent parish, the income
from which for the past year amounted to £3,120. At the
meeting above referred to a resolution was passed that the
Charity Commissioners be informed that the Vestry protest
against any scheme or schemes for the administration of
the parish charities which does or do not, as heretofore,
limit the benefits of the same to the area of the parish as at
present constituted.
With regard to "The St. Martin-in-the-Fields Parochial
Charities" Scheme, which provides for the retention by
this parish of certain legacies bequeathed since the
severance of the above-mentioned parishes, the Income from
which amounted during the past year to £335, it was
resolved that the Commissioners be informed that the
Vestry approve of the Scheme.
RIOTING AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
A deputation waited on the Home Secretary on the 11th
January, 1886, on the subject of the then recent rioting,
to request him to place the police on a more satisfactory
basis, to prosecute the sedition mongers, and to adopt
immediate measures to restore public confidence by preventing
a repetition of like disorders. The deputation
was courteously received by Mr. Childers, who informed
them that satisfactory and efficient measures had been
taken by H.M's Government to secure order and restore
confidence in the executive.
