The matter was referred to a Special Meeting of the General Purposes Committee, and
upon their recommendation it was resolved that Bye-laws 1 to 3, 5 to 8, and 10 to 27 remain as
they are, and that Nos. 4, 28, and 29, be struck out altogether; that the last clause in No. 9 be
altered as follows:—
That the Clerk obtain the name of the speaker appointed by the deputation in
attendance and hand it to the Chairman;
and that the word "agenda" be substituted for the word "business" in Bye-laws Nos. 17
and 19.
The attention of the Vestry having been drawn to the fact that a few years ago when the
old buildings on the site of Church Wharf, which belonged to the Trustees of the Amicable
Society's School, were pulled down by the Assignees of the Lease, the new buildings erected
thereon were set back on the west side to the extent of 2 feet 7½ inches, they caused a tablet to
be inserted in the west wall thereof denoting the boundary of the charity property at that spot.
Several of the river fronts abutting upon parish rights of way to the river have been
repaired and reinstated at the cost of the Vestry during the year.
