Northampton Square were laid out for the use
of the public, and a vote of regret was placed upon
the minutes of the Vestry.
Meetings.—Under the Bye-laws of the Vestry,
Standing Committees are appointed at the first
Meeting of the Vestry after the Annual Elections,
and Special Committees are appointed from time to
time to deal with special questions, and it is at the
Meetings of these Committees that a very large
quantity of the detail work of the Vestry is carried
out. The following statement shows the number
of Meetings held by the Vestry and the various
Committees during the year, and will also show the
parishioners that the administration of their local
affairs is no light task, but is one which entails considerable
labour on those who come forward to take
part in the municipal work of the Parish:—
