Baths and Washhouses and Public Libraries, died on 14th December, 1895, and on 17th
December, 1895, the Vestry, on the motion of Mr. Vice-Chairman Bisley, seconded
by Mr. Mabbs, instructed the Clerk to write to Mr. Brownfield expressing the condolence of
the Vestry with him in his loss.
Mr. William Marillier, Librarian to the Public Library, died on 3rd January, 1896, and at
the meeting of the Vestry on the 21st January, 1896, Mr. Stuart called attention to the fact,
and moved that a vote of condolence be forwarded to Mrs. Marillier and her family in the
irreparable loss sustained by them, and expressing regret at the small number attending
the funeral, which was 110 doubt due to the want of timely information as to the date and
time fixed for the ceremony; this was seconded by Mr. Mabbs, put, and curried unanimously
and
Resolved accordingly.
At a meeting of the Vestry held on the 21st January, 1890, Mr. Vice-Chairman Bisley
drew attention to the sad circumstances attending the death of Prince Henry of Battenberg,
and moved that this Vestry beg leave to offer to Her Majesty the Queen and
H.R.H. Princess Beatrice respectful sympathy in their present deep affliction; this was
seconded by Mr. Brownfield, put, and carried, and
Resolved accordingly.
At a meeting of the Vestry held on 3rd March, 1896, the Chairman alluded in feeling
terms to the sad bereavement sustained by Mr. Sydney Brownfield by the death of his wife,
and also to the exceptional trouble he had lately undergone by reason of the death of other
members of his family following so closely upon each other, and moved that a letter be
written to Mr. Sydney Brownfield expressing the very deep sympathy of this Vestry with
him in his affliction; this was seconded by Mr. Mabbs, put, and carried, and
Resolved accordingly.
