The Vestry Clerk advised that inasmuch as the
Inspectors of Votes had returned the members elccted for
the respective Wards, it would be necessary for any person
aggrieved to apply to the Court of Queen s Bench for a
Writ of Quo Warranto to invalidate such election, and for
an Order of the Court to hold a new Election.
The Vestry approved the following resolution on July
13th, 1892:—
"That in the opinion of this Committee it is not illegal
to use folded papers or cards at Ward Elections, though it
may be inconvenient, and the Inspectors of Votes would be
bound to count such voting papers, and include them in
their return to the Churchwardens; and that the Presiding
Officer in No. 5 Ward acted improperly in refusing to allow
such folded papers or cards to be deposited in the ballot
box."
Opening
Board School
Playgrounds.
A letter dated August 9th, 1892, from St.
Saviour's Vestry, as to opening playgrounds of
the board schools on Saturdays and Sundays was received,
enclosing copy of a resolution urging the President of the
Local Government Board to grant the appeal of the School
Board for London allowing them to make special payment
to the school keepers for extra duty in supervising the playgrounds,
which had been surcharged by the Auditor of the
Local Government Board: that the playgrounds of the
London Board Schools may be opened to the children on
Saturdays and Sundays, and that the Vestries and District
Boards of the Metropolis be asked to support the request,
and to write to the Local Government Board to the same
effect.
