THE ELECTION OF VESTRYMEN AND AUDITORS
OF ACCOUNTS
Was held on Monday, the 19th day of May, the places
appointed for the purpose being—Pall Mall Ward, Willis's
Rooms, King Street; Church Ward, Vestry Hall, Piccadilly;
Golden Square Ward, National School House, Marshall
Street; and Great Marlborough Ward, Board Room, Poland
Street.
In consequence of Mr. F. EL Bingham having been
returned for two wards, and choosing to represent Church
Ward, a second election of one member became necessary in
Golden Square Ward, resulting in the return of Mr. J. H.
Edwards.
The total expense of conducting the elections, including
the hire of rooms, publication of notices, and taking a poll in
Great Marlborough and Golden Square Wards, amounted to
£18 19s. 6d., and an order for payment of this sum from the
Poor Rate was accordingly made by the Vestry in accordance
with the Statute.
A list of the Vestrymen and Auditors of Accounts will be
found on pages 7 and 8.
