We, the undersigned, being the Auditors appointed under the provisions of the
" Metropolis Local Management Act," for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the
Vestry of the Parish of Paddington, do state that we have audited the accounts of the
Vestry for the year ending 25th March, 1881, of which the foregoing account, marked A,
is an abstract. And we state that the several Contracts entered into by the Vestry during
the year ending 25th March, 1881, are specified in the foregoing statement of such Contracts
marked B. And that the moneys owing to, and the Debts and Liabilities owing and
incurred by such Vestry respectively are, to the best of our belief, specified in the foregoing
statements of such Credits, Debts, and Liabilities respectively, marked C. And we
further wish to state that the manner in which the Accounts are kept has met with our
entire approbation. And we beg to thank Mr. Dethridge, the Vestry Clerk, and his
Assistants, for the able and courteous assistance they have rendered us during the
investigation.
We would add that, having in view the statement made by the President of the Local
Government Board, in reply to a question asked by Mr. Firth in the House of Commons on
8th February, 1881, we are of opinion that, under the existing state of the law, the examination
by us of the Parochial Accounts of the Parish of Paddigton is practically of no
effect, as the said Act gives us no power to enforce payment of the surcharges.
Dated this 5th day of July, 1881.
