Greenwich Curren Rates and Church Dues Proceedings
Mr Hodges sought payment orders for parish church rates from defaulters in Greenwich. Defaulters, including dissenters, refused on principle claiming illegality. Mr Traill noted potential Ecclesiastical court recourse, but orders were granted after an explanation of appeal rights under 55 Geo. NT., cap. 127, sec. 7. Report notes surprise at such privilege. Also a Blackburn Mercury item reports twelve residents summoned in Haistncken parish.
