At the Vestry Meeting held this morning, for the purpose of
imposing a Sixpenny Rate, an amendment for a Penny Rate was
moved, and almost unanimously carried by a show of hands. The
Churchwardens demanded a _Poll_, which is now going on at the
Vestry of St. Thomas's Church.
Embrace the present opportunity! Lose no time! All who
conscientiously oppose this exorbitant tax, hasten and Vote for
the Penny Rate! All Poor Rates that have been demanded must be
paid previous to voting. The Polling will be kept open till
five o'clock this afternoon. Attend the Public Meeting at the
Swan Inn, this evening at 8 o'clock.
_Thursday, April the 8th, 1852._
