It was stated that the income derived from the first three charities was £15 11s 8d, which was distributed amongst the poor of the parish. Last year there were 52 recipients, the amounts varying from 9s to 1s 6d. With regard to the charity of R. P. Welch, who granted the sum of £200 for the rector in charge to invest the income to be given to the poor, Consols £197 0s 10d were purchased, from which they derived an income of £4 18s 4d. The Commissioner asked the Rector how the income was expended, and Mr. Jenkins usually gave tea to the children of the parish, and parents, which was in accordance with the practice of the deceased who made the gift.
