DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LONDON.
The Vestry learned with great regret the death of Dr.
Jackson, Bishop of London, formerly Rector of St. James's,,
which occurred on the 6th January, and at a meeting held
on the 15th of the same month unanimously passed the
following resolution thereon:—
That a letter be addressed to the family of the late Bishop of London,
expressing the condolence and sympathy of this Vestiy with them in their
bereavement, and gratefully acknowledging his services to the Parish during
the time he was Rector thereof and Chairman of the Vestry.
A communication in reply to this letter was received from
the Rev. F. H. Fisher, M.A., Vicar of Fulham, conveying
the thanks of the family of the Bishop to the Vestry for the
same.
CONCLUDING REMARKS.
The Vestry have not attempted in the foregoing Report
to touch upon mere routine business requiring attention from
day to day, but have endeavoured to submit to their fellowparishioners,
in as clear and succinct a manner as possible,
a statement of the principles which have guided them in
the discharge of their trust, and of the present condition of
the Parish.
By Order,
HARRY WILKINS,
Vestry Clerk.
