134 BOROUGH OF PADDINGTON.
"Paddington, as part of the Metropolis, shares
the advantages resulting from this extension of
Municipal Institutions, the existence of which cannot
fail to promote a sense of community in the
population, and to increase the interest and activity
of the inhabitants generally in the administration of
local affairs.
"The devotion of your Royal Highnesses to
public duties, and the support you are wont to give
to Local Authorities in the intelligent discharge of
their functions, the Vestry recognise as encouraging
evidence of your Royal Highnesses' appreciation
of those principles of freedom and right which have
made England what it is to-day, and the constant
application of which to all matters affecting the
local government of the Metropolis, will go far to
justify the proud distinction conferred upon it of
being the First City of the World.
"Sealed and witnessed on behalf of the Vestry of the
Borough of Paddington, in the County of London, July 5th,
1890.
