The Churchwardens of this District have been defeated this
day at the Vestry, in attempting to impose upon you a Rate of
FIVEPENCE IN THE POUND. The Churchwardens have demanded a poll,
to obtain the Votes of the District generally upon the matter,
to take place in the VESTRY OF ST. EDMUND'S CHURCH, ON TUESDAY
NEXT, at Ten o'clock in the morning.
Will you suffer in silence another of these fearful infractions
on common sense and common justice to be thrust down your
throats? Defeat this mean, shabby means of the Churchwardens
to obtain money for them and their Church-going brethren to
worship God in what they are pleased to call, most strangely,
"the beauty of holiness," at your expense.
