Sec. 5.--Provided also and it is hereby further enacted that no person who shall have refused or neglected to pay any rate for the relief of the poor which shall be due from him and shall have been demanded of him, _and_ (see Sec. 3 of the next Act quoted) shall be entitled to vote or to be present in any Vestry of the parish for which such rate shall have been made, until he shall have paid the same. 59 Geo. III, c. 85, sec. 1. . . . From and after the passing of this Act, any person who shall be assessed and rated for the relief of the poor in respect of any annual rent, profit, or value arising from any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, situate in any parish in which any Vestry shall be holden under the said recited Act (58 Geo. III, c 69), although such person shall not reside in or be an inhabitant of such parish, shall and may lawfully be present at such Vestry . . . and have the same privileges as though he were an inhabitant of the said parish. Sec. 3 of the same Act states that the word "_and_," marked in italics in the above quotation from Geo. III, c. 69, was inserted by mistake. APPENDIX IV. 14 and 15 Vict., c. 97, sec. 23. From and after the passing of this Act no select Vestry shall be formed under the provisions of the Church Building Act, and every such select Vestry already formed under such provisions shall be and is hereby declared to be abolished, and all the powers and provisions therein enacted relative to such select Vestries shall henceforth cease and determine, provided that all matters and things done by any such select Vestry in pursuance of any powers given them by such Acts, or any of them, shall be and remain as valid as if such select Vestry had not been abolished. APPENDIX V. It was agreed in 1870 between some of the leading Laity of the Counties of Hants and Surrey and the then Bishop of the Diocese that the sum asked should only be five shillings, payable annually by each parish and ecclesiastical district by the hands of the Churchwardens. When there is an election of a Proctor to Convocation, an additional shilling is added, making the total due six shillings. It was also decided at the meeting before referred to that this charge might be defrayed out of the offertory or other voluntary collections for Church purposes in any parish or ecclesiastical district. I am happy to say that the cases are, comparatively speaking, rare in which the Churchwardens decline to pay this charge, reduced by voluntary action as it has been from the legal figure of eighteen shillings to either five shillings or in some years six shillings, the extra shilling being added when an election of a Proctor for the Archdeaconry takes place. APPENDIX VI. Canons agreed upon by the Convocation for the Province of Canterbury assembled by the king's licence in their Synod, A.D. 1603, published by His Majesty's authority under the Great Seal of England. 89. _The choice of Churchwardens and their Account_.
