shall be provided_.
Upon the requisition in writing of ten or more ratepayers {80a} of any

whom it belongs to convene meetings of the Vestry of such parish shall
convene a meeting of the Vestry for the special purpose of determining
whether a burial ground shall be provided under this Act for the parish;
and public notice of such Vestry Meeting, and the place and hour of
holding the same, and the special purpose thereof, shall be given in the
usual manner in which notices of the meetings of the Vestry are given, at
least seven days before holding such Vestry Meeting: and if it be
resolved by the Vestry that a burial ground shall be provided under this
Act for the parish, a copy of such resolution extracted from the minutes
of the Vestry, and signed by the Chairman, shall be sent to one of Her
Majesty's principal Secretaries of State.
