    15 places and the formation of a line of railway by the side of the towing path. The railway is to have junc tions with the Great Eastern. The Bill of the Commercial Gas Company is to sanc tion an amalgamation with the Ratcliff Gas Company, and to provide additional capital and fresh sites for works. The Bill will no doubt be considered (together with the Bills of certain other companies) by the Committee appointed to consider the before-mentioned Bill of the Metropolitan Board. It is obvious that unless these Bills are properly watched, and proper provisions secured in the interests of the ratepayers for regulating the method in which the works are to be executed and otherwise, a very ser ious injury might be committed, and the Vestry have, in each case, caused petitions to be presented to parliament in order to obtain a locus standi before the Committees which will be appointed to consider such bills. There have been Twenty Vestry Meetings; Eighty three Meetings of the Standing Committees; and Sine teen Meetings of Special Committees; and it is suffi cient proof of the great attention which the members of the Vestry give to their duties when it is stated that the average attendance at each Vestry is over fifty. The Accounts for the year ending the 25th March last, have been duly audited, vouched, and allowed, and the abstract thereof, as certified by the Auditors pursuant to the statute, is published with this report.
