Death has been very busy among members of the Vestry Deaths,
during the past year, and the Vestry have to deplore the loss of
Messrs. Doubell, H. C. L. Hart, J. Fordham, H. Preece, and
Dr. Swyer.
The Vestry must make particular remark that Mr. Preece was
a member of the first Vestry of this Hamlet elected under the
Metropolis Management Act, 1855, and had been an active
worker in parochial matters ever since.
The Vestry Clerk, Mr. Thompson, also died during the year.
Consequent upon Mr. Thompson's death, there have been
several changes in the Vestry staff. Mr. Henry Coningham,
the Assistant Clerk to the Vestry, was appointed Vestry Clerk;
Mr. Edward Hall, the Messenger, was appointed Assistant
Clerk to the Vestry, vice Coningham, at a salary of £200 per
annum, and Mr. Alfred Greeves was elected Messenger in Mr.
Hall's place, at a salary of 25/- per week.
