Office of the Vestry Clerk, at least five clear days before
the day of meeting, exclusive of Sunday.
Minutes
6. The Minutes of the last Meeting or Meetings
of the Vestry shall be read as the first business at each
ordinary and adjourned Vestry, and if correctly entered,
the same shall be signed as required by the Statute, but
no discussion shall be allowed upon the Minutes, except
as to their accuracy, and any objection on that ground
shall be decided by the Members present, who were also
present at the Meetings to which such Minutes refer.
Questions
7. At every Ordinary and Adjourned Meeting of the
Vestry, after the Minutes have been read and signed, then, immediately
before the commencement of business, it shall be competent
for any Members to ask a question or questions, relative
to Parochial affairs, of any Member or Officer of the Vestry,
of which forty-eight hours' notice at the least shall have
been given in writing to the Vestry Clerk, and signed
by the Member intending to ask the same, but no discussion
shall take place thereon, and such question shall
be printed.
Business Paper
8. A Paper of Business for each Vestry shall be
prepared by the Clerk, and sent to each Member three clear
days before the Meeting, and no other business shall be
considered at that Meeting except by a Resolution of the
Vestry; and a copy of the Business Paper shall be posted
up in a conspicuous place in the Vestry Hall.
Motions, &c. to
be in Writing
9. No Motion or Amendment shall be put from
the Chair (except a Motion to adjourn, upon which there shall
be no discussion), unless the same be in writing, and duly
seconded.
