REPORT
The Vestry, in presenting their Annual Report for
the year ending the 25th March, 1878, think that they
cannot better shew how the members are endeavouring
to efficiently carry out the ever-increasing duties which
they consider are cast upon them, than by a comparison
of the number of Meetings and attendances during the
past year with those of former vears. In the following;
Table, therefore, is shown the average number of members
attending the Vestry Meetings, and the number of
such Meetings and Committee Meetings during the
past year and the three preceding years.
