5. HENRY SMITH, in 1626, bequeathed several pieces of land, situated in the parishes of Sevenoaks, Seal and Kensing, in the County of Kent, the profits thereof to be applied to the relief of the impotent and aged poor who have resided 5 years in one of the twelve parishes named in his will, to be distributed in apparel of one colour. The dividend received as the portion due to this parish is £17 1s. 6. JOHN CONRAD RAPP, in 1830, left £200, the interest to be divided at Christmas between four poor men and four poor women as the Vicar and Wardens in their discretion should think most necessitous and deserving of such relief. The amount from this benefaction is £6 9s. 4d. 7. JOHN PARVIN, in 1818, left £1,000, the interest to be laid out in coal, candles, broad and flannel and distributed among 40 poor widows actually residing in Nine Elms and Battersea Fields. Also a further sum of £1,000 upon trust to pay one-fourth part of the interest annually to the trustees of schools formed by the late Lord St. John in this parish. One-fourth part to be expended in purchasing of bread to be distributed on the Sunday in every fourth week of the month. Two-fourths for the use of poor aged men and women equally in the Workhouse, all to be in the habit of attending Divine Service in Battersea Church. The last distribution of one-fourth to parties in the Workhouse was up to December 26th, 1836. One-fourth of the second £1,000, was paid away in 1853 for meeting law charges in the information of B. Starling and C. Bowes renew Scheme of Sir Walter St. John's Schools, and the two fourths transferred to the trustees of Sir Walter St. John's Schools in 1863 by order of the Charity Commissioners. The sum now available from this source for Christmas distribution is £33 5s. 8d. 8. JOHN CONSTABLE left £50 bequest in 1856 for the poor of this parish. The dividend from this now is £1 19s. 4d. 9.

Candidates' names for recipients of this charity are forwarded by recommendation to the Haberdashers' Company of London who distribute this fund. 10. HENRY JUER, in 1874, bequeathed the sum of £500, the dividend thereof to be distributed on the 6th February in each year to 12 needy parishioners of the age of 60 years and upwards. 11. JOHN EDMUNDS, who in 1708 left £10 per annum for putting out boy-apprentices. The property bequeathed consisting of a small tenement in the City has increased in value, and so few applications of boys or masters are received at the Lammas Hall that the sum of £730 1s. 10d. is now on deposit to the credit of this charity. The Parish Officers issue a form to be filled in by all applicants and to be endorsed by a householder.
