WHEREAS by an Act passed in the first year of His present Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to repeal an Act passed in the fiftieth year of the reign of His Majesty King George the Third, intituled 'An Act to declare the qualifications of Church Wardens and Vestrymen in the several Parishes in this Province, and of the persons having voices in their elections, and to make other and more effectual enactments in lieu thereof,'" owners or proprietors of pews are eligible to the offices of Church Wardens and Vestrymen of the Church in the Parish only in which they actually reside:   And whereas it is desirable and proper that owners or proprietors of pews, although residing in an adjoining Parish, shall be qualifed to be elected to the said offices;
