Of the parishes I have studied, two others also adopted Hobhouse's Vestry
Act in 1832: St George, Hanover Square, and St James, Piccadilly. We see in
them a similar pattern. Before the advent of the elected vestry, the only
objection to the new police was its cost. Afterwards, petitions were drafted
that emphasized the unconstitutionality of the new police. See St George,
Hanover Square, VM, 21 Sept. 1832 and 25 Jan. 1833; StJames, Piccadilly,
VM, 14 June 1832; 4 April, 3 Sept. 1833. - Southwark, East Division, PCM, 4 Feb. 1830, 18 Feb. 1830.
