The Churchwardens Accounts for the previous year were examined and approved.

Resolved, that the resolution of last Vestry meeting held at the vestry-room on the 5^th day of April instant, respecting the taking off a quarter part of the present rateable value of all lands and tenements in this Parish, be rescinded. And that it now be resolved, that all tenements the yearly rateable value of which shall exceed 6£ shall be reduced to three-quarters of their present rateable value, in consequence of the depreciation of prices in the produce of land. But where the rate is exclusively on houses, or in any other case, where the rate is supposed to be sufficiently low, the present rateable value in such cases, shall remain unaltered.

It is not the intention of the Parishioners at present to rate the owners of small tenements instead of the occupiers, because that in so doing they would sustain a considerable loss in the rate.
