At a Meeting of theVestry, held, on the 18th
December, 1873.
"The Clerk called attention to the fact that since
“theVestry had ceased to collect the Poor Bate, 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,.
u there was no Poor-rate Account published, except
u the remainder of those in collection by theVestry
“previous to that time, and suggested whether it would
"not be desirable, by an agreement between both
" Boards, to publish the Poor Eate Account of the
" Guardians or Governors as an appendix to the Annual
"Beports of theVestry, in which case there would be
u one and a half years' Poor Eate Account to be
u appended to the Ecport about to be issued for the
11 year ended Lady-day last.
" It was moved by Mr. Bamford, seconded by
" Mr. Dore, and—
" Eesolved that such suggestion be approved and
" adopted."
