At a Meeting of the Vestry, held on the 18th
December, 1873.
" The Clerk called attention to the fact that since
" the Vestry had ceased to collect the Poor Rate, which
" duty had reverted to the Guardians or Governors of
" the Poor under the Local Act, and which Board had
"been revived for the purpose in November, 1871,
" there was no Poor Rate Account published, except
"the remainder of those in collection by the Vestry
" previous to that time, and suggested whether it would
" not be desirable, by an agreement between both
" Boards, to publish the Poor Rate Account of the
" Guardians or Governors as an appendix to the Annual
" Reports of the Vestry, in which case there would be
" one and a half years' Poor Rate Account to be appended
" to the Report about to be issued for the year ended
" Lady-day last.
"It was moved by Mr. Bamford, seconded by
" Mr. Dore, and—
" Resolved that such suggestion be approved and
" adopted."
(Extract from Board Minutes.)
ROBERT PAGET,

And Poor Rate Account of the Guardians or
Governors of the Poor for the year ending Lady day,
1880, is annexed hereto accordingly.
