Charlotte Parish.

What appearance Charlottetown _pre- sented in the year 1791 the oldest inhabit- ant fails to tells us; but we know that there were a few houses. some stores, and a hotel or coff*e house, kept by Alex. Richardson, which, besides its ordinary use, served as a piace for holding public meetings and for religious worship, The first Church, which afterwards stood on Queen Square, was not bnilt until the year 1801. The rector at this time was the Rev. . Theophilus DesBrisay. who, though appointed by King George II1., in the year 1774, ! 6, does not appear to have entered upon his duties until the year 1777. Inthe year 1781 ‘‘an Act appointing vestries” was passed by the Legislature, but confined in its operation to the Parish of Charlotte. . This parish comprises Townships Nos. 24, 32, 53, 34 and Charlottetown and Royalty, and in-| cludes Rustico, Brackley Point and Cove- head on the north, and from Cornwall to Suffolk Road Settlement on the south and the intermediate districts.

The first minutes of this vestry, now

forthcoming, are dated May 23rd, 1791,

and matters seem to have been conducied

generally according to English law and

custom. Just before this, in the year 1799,

Island,” was passed, but did not receive

As part of the business, it was “ or- dered that the Vestry Clerk do draft a let- ter to Capt. Lowden for the inspection of the Vestry on Sunday next, for the reliev- ing the Parish of Robert Biair and daugh- ror.” Qo the Sth of June the Veatry approved.of the letter to Capt. Lowden, of Pictou, but he apparently did not send a favorable answer, as Robert Blair and daughter appear on the mioutes on several eceasions after. » :,
