under control of the representative Vestry, for the year ending

of money received during that year, by Poor and Vestry rates, was
£93,506 17s. 4d., with a balance in the hands of the Treasurer,
at the commencement of the year, of £5,576 7s. 8d., and leaving
a balance on the credit side of the account at the end of the year
of £5,663 17s. l0d. to be carried forward.
The amount of Poor rates so raised was £55,471 12s. 1d., being
at the rate of 2/11 in the pound; and that of the several Vestry
rates to £38,035 5s. 3d., being at the rate of 1/10 in the pound.
