the shopkeepers was that the tradesmen should not be interfered
with until one or two o'clock, but that two or three shopkeepers
were willing the time should be twelve.
The Committee recommended that the first paragraph of
regulation thirteen should bo altered to read thus:—"All shopkeepers
are required to remove at or before 11 o'clock on Sunday
mornings all things put or deposited by them on any footway or
carriageway. After 11 o'clock they will be allowed to have
projections not exceeding 18 inches from the fronts of the houses,
provided such projections arc not lower than three feet from the
footway." On the motion to adopt the Report, an amendment
that the Report bo referred back to the Committee for a further
Report, and for the Committee to have a conference with costermoigers
and shopkeepers, on Wednesday, the 22nd May instant,
was moved and carried.
On the 25th of July a further Report of the Committee was
presented, recommending—
1. That the first paragraph of regulation No. 13 be altered by
adding to it "but that shopkeepers be allowed after 11 o'clock
on Sunday mornings to have projections not exceeding 18
inches, but not lower than three feet from the pavement."
2. Your Committeo have given opportunity (by formal notice) to
the dilFerent shopkeepers infringing the regulation to come
beforo the Committee and make any statement with regard to
their infringement of the regulation. Many of the shopkeepers
attended; most of them agreed to conform, but others objected
to conform until a member of the Vostry who infringes the
regulation is made to conform. The Committee feel it
dosirable to report this fact to the Vestry before taking proceedings
against the member referred to.
To the question to adopt the first paragraph of the Report there
was an amendment that 12 o'clock should be substituted for 11
o'clock in regulation No. 13. The amendment was carried, but
on being put as a substantive motion, a further amendment "That
regulation No. 13 be no longer enforced, and be deemed to be
omitted from the regulations,'' was moved and carried.
No action was taken as to paragraph two of the Report.
