REPORT
OF THE
Special Staff Committee,
Appointed by the Vestry, 5th October, 1892.
At a meeting of the Vestry held on the 5th October,
1892, the following letter was read:—
23rd September, 1892.
Dear Sirs,
I feel the time has arrived when I should tender
my resignation of the office of Vestry Clerk of this Parish
(to take effect on the appointment of my successor). I have
held the position for upwards of 40 years.
I was elected by the Ratepayers of this Parish at an
open Vestry on Easter Tuesday, 1852, and again on the
Metropolis Local Management Act coming into operation in
1856, I was elected Vestry Clerk under that Act.
I hope that the duties have been performed to the
satisfaction of the Vestry, and I now sever my connection
with it with pain and regret, having uniformily received from
the members great kindness and attention, and for which I
desire to express my grateful thanks.
I trust in my retirement I carry with me the good
opinion and esteem of all members of the Vestry, and I
earnestly hope that they may long enjoy health and prosperity
to discharge the duties they have performed for so many
years with such unselfish fidelity.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEO. W. MARSDEN,
Vestry Clerk.
