to
be
granted as therein mentioned: And whereas the Trustees
of
the
said recited Act, in the Execution thereof, purchased an additional Burying
Ground for the
&
Pdfish, which ken duly consecrated, and is now
used as the

sild
Parish, and the Trustees have paid

;
and the Trustees did also,
in
pumumce of the
said
Act, shut
up
the old Footpath leading through
the
Chu!rch-yard
of
the
said
Parish,
and
made another
in
lieu thereof
;
and
all
.the
Purposees
of
the said
Act
being
satisfied, (except such
as
can be better provided for by other Enactments),
it is become expedient that the said Act shauld be repealed
:
And whereas,
by another Act of Parliament passed in the Fifty-sixth Year
of
the Reign
56G.3.c.39.
of His said late Majesty, intituled
An
Act
for
building
a
new
Parisb
Church and
a
Parochial Chapel, in the Parish
of
Saint
Pancras,
in
tbe
County
of
Middlesex,
and for other Purposes relating thereto,
certain Per-
sons were appointed Trustees for carrying the said Act into Execution,
and Power
was
given
to
erect a new Parish Church and also a Parochial
ChapeI,
to
be called
Caniden Chapel,
and to purchase Land
as
Sires
for
such new Church and Chapel respectively
;
and
it
was thereby enacted,
that after the intended new Church should be completed and consecrated,
the present Parish Church should be
for
ever called and known as,
''
the
Parish Chapel
of
the said Parish
;"
and in the said Act,
it
was (amongst
other Things) provided, that the said Trustees should not begin the
Erection of the said new Chapel to be called
Camden Chapel,
until the
intended new Church should be built and rendered
fit
for
the
Celebration
of
Divine Service
;
and for better enabling the said Trustees
to
carry the
said now reciting Act into Execution, Powers were thereby given them to
raise Money by the Ways and Means therein mentioned, and
to
make
Rates on the Renters and Occupiers of Lands and Tenements within the
said Parish, and Directions were also given for the better Government
and Management of the said new Church and Chapel, afrer the same
should have been completed
:
And whereas the Trustees of the last re-
cited Act have proceeded to put the same in Execution, and have accord-
ingly purchased a Piece
of
Land situate on the
East
Side
of
Euston Spare,
within the said Parish, and have made considerable Progress in the
Erection of
a
new Parish Church thereon, and the said Trustees have made
Rates to the full Extent allowed by the said Act
:
And whereas the said
Trustees have raised the full Sum, which by the said
last
recited Act they
were authorized to raise, but the same is found
to
be inadequate for the
Purposes
of
erecting the said new Church and Parochial Chapel
;
and it
is thexpedient that Power should
be
given to the said Trustees
to
make additional Rates, and also
to
raise and take up at,Interest a fur-
ther Sum of Money, in addition
to
the Sum already raised
by
them:
And whereas
by
an Act
of

;
and by another Act passed in the Fifty-hth Year
of
the
Reign
59G.3.c.134.
of
His
said late Majesty, intituled
An
Act
to amend nnd render
more
e&ectual an Act passed in
the
last Session
of
Parliament,
for
building
and
pro-
moting
the
building
of
additional Churches in populous Parishes
;
the Cdm-
missioners appointed for carrying into Execution the Purposes
of
the said
TQO
last-mentioned Acts, and
who,
by the Second of the said Acts, were
constituted a Body Corporate,
by
the
Name and Title

for

&:ommissioners
‘for
building new Churches,” were (among other
Things)
empowered to make Grants and advance Money for building
or
to
ts
be built Churches or Chapels in Parishes Circumstanced
mentioned
;
and the said Commissioners were thereby authorized,
as
they,
should see Occasion, to call upon any Parish or Extra-parochial place
to
furnish any Site or Sites for the Erection of any Churches or Chapels
to.
be built under the Provisions of the said recited Acts, and the Church
Rates
of
every such Parish were charged with the Repayment
of
all
Money expended by the Parish in providing ahy Site or Sites, and
of
all
such
Sums
of
Money expended or advahced under the’ Provisions
of
the
said Two last herein-before mentioned Acts, or One
of
them, and the
Churchwardens were to make Rates for repaying the sanie within the
Periods to be specified by the said Commissioners, and Power was given
to
burrow Money on the Credit
of
such Rates, with
such
Consent as therein
mentioned
:
And
whereas the said Commissioners determined to build
Two new Chapels in the said Parish
of
Saint
Pancras,
upon Sites
to
be
provided by the said Parish, which have accordingly been contracted
for,
and the said Commissioners have signified their Approval thereof,
as
proper
Sites for the Erecrion
of
the said intended Chapels
:
And whereas, from
the peculiar Circumstances
of
the said Parish
of
Saint
Pnncms,
it
wohld
be
very inconvenient to make
a
specific Rate or specific Rates
for
the
Payment of the Monies agreed on
for
the Purchase of the said last-rnen-
tioned Pieces or Parcels
ot
Land, or for any other Purpose for which
any
such Rate or Rates might
be
required, according to the Directions
of
the
Two
last-recited Acts of Parliament
;
and it would
be
more convenient
if
the Trustees of the said recited Act
of
Parliament
of
the Fifty-sixt h Year
of
His
late Majesty were authorized to raise and pay all such Monies
out
of
the Funds to be raised for the Purposes of this Act
;
and
it
would tend
to the more uniform Management and Regulation
of
the Ecclesiastica~
Affairs of the said Parish, if all the Parochial Chapels now existing
or
hereafter to be built in the said Parish were made subject
to
the
same
Eowers
of
the Trustees, and the same Directions and Regulations as
by
and
in the said recited Act
of
theFifty-sixth Year
of
the late Reign and this
Act are
or
are intended to be given and contained
as
to the new Parish
Church and the said Parochial Chapel intended
to
be called
Curndkn
Chapel,
(subject nevertheless to the general Control and Superintendance
of
the said Commissioners for building new Churches, and such of the
Directions and Provisions of the said recited Acts
of
the Fifty-eighth and
Fifty-ninth Years
of
the late Reign, as are not intended to be hereby
altered
or
varied,
so
far as may respect the Two Chapels now about
to
be
erected by the said Commissioners as aforesaid, or any other Chapels
or
Ecclesiastical Buildings
or
Improvements which may hereafter be made
under their Direction or Authority)
:
And whereas by the said Acts of the
Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth Years
of
the late Reign, several
of
the Powers
and Authorities thereby given, and several
of
the Acts thereby required
to
be done, are given to and required to be done
by
the Churchwardens
of
the Parish
to
which the same may relate, in some Instances with the
Consent
of
the Vestry or Select Vestry
of
such Parish, or
the
Persons
POS-
sessing the Powers of Vestry within such Parish, and in
other
Instances
without such Consent, and other Powers are given to. and other Acts,
Matters, and Things are required
to
be done
by
the Vestry or Select Vestry
of
such
Parish,
or
the Persons exercising the Powers
of

it
would
be
more
convenient
