But even St. James’s was not finished without a “compulsory levy;” for on the thirtieth of June, 1843, the committee report that after paying £10,000, other expenses had been incurred, and were about to be incurred, which they hoped to raise by subscription. No further subscriptions were forthcoming, however; and in August, 1844, the committee state to the vestry that £950 is still due; that the clock and organ were not subscribed for, as anticipated; and that there are other additional works estimated at £300 more; all of which they beg to transfer to the especial care of the ratepayers. These, as well as other sums, were paid out of the church-rate by order of the vestry. “The churchwardens’ account for the year 1843–44” shews the “total expenditure for Saint James’s church, for the year ending April, 1844, to have, been £2,190 12_s._ 5_d._, the whole of which, with the exception of £200, “the first annual payment from the pew-rents,” was paid by the Churchwardens out of the parish funds. This, however, was not all the Churchwardens paid towards St. James’s; for in “the church-rate account” for the ensuing year, the following item occurs, “January thirtieth, 1845, Paid Mr. Bishop, for organ at St. James’s Church, £497 12_s._ 6_d._” There are other items, too,—balance of architect’s commission, church plate, and printing—which bring the sum paid this year up to £753 8_s._ 4_d._, over and above the ordinary disbursements, which are this year £100 more than the pew-rents paid to the churchwardens. Neither was this church, which _was to have been built without_ “_compulsory levy_,” paid for yet; for in the next year’s account, we find a “Cross Wall” in the vaults paid for; roofing over the vestry room, at St. James’s church; building new porches to the lobby entrances; and the “Turret clock.” These four items amounted to £662 19_s._ 3_d._, the ordinary expenses being increased by £246 14_s._ 11_d._, above the receipts, for other church fittings. And on the twenty-fourth of December, 1847, there is another £100 paid for re-glazing the windows with ground-glass; so that before St. James’s was fairly done with, it had cost the rate-payers over and above all subscriptions, £3,850 at the least—to say nothing of interest of money borrowed, at a very high rate, to pay these sums. {151a} Trinity.
