Court which they had given. Mr. Justice Chitty accordingly made no
order on the Summons except that the costs of the Summons be reserved
to be dealt with on the trial of the action, unless the action was
discontinued, in which case the costs are to be the cost in the cause,
they have instructed the Solicitor to report at the next Meeting.
and, at the same meeting, the memorial to the London County Council,
prepared by the Solicitor, applying for a further loan of £15,000 in respect
of the Town Hall, was approved by the Vestry, and the Town Hall
Committee was instructed to advertise for a striking clock for the Town
Hall. The Law and Parliamentary Committee reported to the Yestry, on
the 8th January, 1890, as follows:—
Jackson and others v. Fulham Yestry and others.
I have to report that Messrs. Tippett & Son have given me
notice that it is their intention to issue a summons asking for an
order that the Vestry's costs may be taxed as between party and
party, and thereupon the same may be paid out of the money
which has been paid into Court, and that the balance (if any) may
be paid to the plaintiffs in satisfaction of their claim against the
Vestry, and that all further proceedings against the Yestry and
Mr. Wall may be stayed.

instructed the Surveyor to put a post in the pavement adjoining the
flank to No. 555, Fulham Road.

passed a certificate for £2000 in favor of Mr. C. Wall, and had referred

of the 11th December, 1889, authorising the advertising for tenders for
a striking clock, was rescinded at a special meeting of the Vestry held
on the 22nd January, 1890, and, at the same meeting, the petition to the
London County Council, as drawn by the Solicitor, and approved by the
Vestry on the 11th December, 1889, was sealed. On the 5th February,

Road, and the same was referred to the Solicitor to attend to. A certificate
for £2000, in favor of Mr. Wall, was passed, and a cheque drawn for
same on the 19th February, 1890; and, on the 5th March, 1890, a further
Certificate for £2000, in favor of Mr, Wall, was passed, and a cheque drawn
