Petition Against Rector's Income Bill At Christ Church Vestry
At a Christ Church Vestry in Surrey a petition to Parliament opposing a bill to fund the Rector's income was read. The parish cites prior arrangements from St Saviour's and Marshall's Will, notes non residence and past gratuities, and urges elimination of compulsory rates, proposing alternative funding by Marshall's estate and pew rents. Resolutions authorize presentation to Parliament, appoint a deputation and committee, and authorize a voluntary rate to fund opposition expenses.
