Section, that every inhabitant present who shall, by the last rate made for the relief of the Poor, have been assessed upon or in respect of any annual rent, profit or value, not amounting to 50. shall have and be entitled to give one vote, and no niore; and every inhabitant there present who shall, in such last rate, have been assessed, or charged upon, or in respect of, any annual rent, profit or value, amounting to 50l. or upwards, whether in one or in more than one sum or charge, shall have and be entitled to one vote for every 25l. of annual rent, profit and value upon or in respect of which he shall have been assessed or charged in suel last rate; so, nevertheless, that no inhabitant shall be enti

tled to give more than six votes. In the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, the poor rates are not assessed upon all the inhabitants uniformly according to an equal pound-rate, but the rate purports to be made, and according to an ancient custom in the parish always has been made, by the discretion of the Vestry without respect to value, but according to the ability of the party charged, such ability being estimated with reference to property whether in the parish or out of it, In some instances the property is stated in respect of which the party is charged, but in a great majority not, and where it is stated, the rate is not in proportion to the rent of the property-for example,

Church Rate according to an equal pound-rate.

In a contested election for the office of Sexton, the right of election to which is in the inhabitants paying church and poor's rates in vestry assembled, the question was whether a plurality of votes from one payer was admissible, pursuant to this statute-and Mr. F. Pollock contended for the affirmative, on the grounds that the rating, though not upon annual value in the parish or in proportion to it, was yet in respect of it, and that it was enough that the Church Rate ascertained the amount as a guide, the principle being to give a preponderance in Vestry to property. But the Court of King's Bench held very clearly, that this parish had not

brought itself within the act; no person in it was rated to the relief of the poor upon or in respect of any annual rent, profit or value. If the rate were so made, it must be proportioned to the amount of the rent, profit or value in respect of which it was imposed. That is not so here, but it is imposed in respect of ability to contribute measured by some other standard. was not mere property to which the Legislature desired to give preponderance, but the object was to increase the power of each inhabitant at the vestry meetings, in proportion to the burthen borne by him.
