26 JUNE, 1889. 93A
(2) That your Surveyor reported that Mr. Wortley had offered
to accept the £250 offered by the Vestry provided that he
was allowed to retain his fixtures and fittings.
That having regard to the small sum which the fixtures
would realize, your Committee agreed to his proposition.
The original claim was £934.
(3) That your Committee also considered the case of Mr. Dold
who was a sub-tenant of part of the premises 412, Mile End
Road, and having regard to all the circumstances resolved to
award Mr. Dold the sum of £10 as cost of expenses of
removal.
(4) That your Committee considered the question of the
disposal of the old materials, fixtures, &c., on the properties
which the Vestry have acquired and resolved that the same
should be disposed of by public auction and that Mr. Alfred
Prevost be appointed to sell the same upon the usual terms.
Your Committee beg to submit such proceedings for the
approval of your Board.
(5) That your Committee also resolved to recommend—That
so much of the premises 1 and 3 Bridge Street as are not
required for the purposes of the improvement with the
businesses attached thereto respectively, be sold by public
auction at an early date, and that Mr. C. D. Taylor be
appointed to sell the same upon the usual terms.

Moved by Mr. Lacey seconded by Mr. Coker and
resolved—That the Report be received.
Moved by Mr. Lacey and seconded by Mr. Coker—
That the Report be adopted.
Moved by Mr. J. Brown and seconded by Mr. Richardson
as an amendment—That inasmuch as after full legal consideration
it was adjudged that Miles the tenant of 412, Mile
End Road, should receive £199 10s. as compensation for the
remainder of his lease the Clerk to the Vestry be instructed
at once to pay him that sum.
That it be placed on record that the Vestry before settling
this claim learned that Mr. A. Furness, (Miles' landlord), in
granting Miles a lease inserted a clause by which the lessor
was to receive half of whatever Miles received as compensation
for his lease.
That the Vestry having purchased Mr. Furness' interest
now stands in his place, but inasmuch as such a clause seems
utterly at variance with the spirit of public morality, more
especially when entered into by a member of this Board, this
Vestry declines to take advantage of any such agreement.
