George, Hanover Square, stating that they had requested
the Commissioner of Police to take steps with a view to
abating the annoyance arising from the noisy hawking of
newspapers and wares, and suggesting that other local
Authorities in the Metropolis should adopt a like course. The
Vestry concurred in the views expressed in such letter, and
addressed a communication to the Commissioner accordingly.
A reply was received pointing out the difficulty in the way
of successfully prosecuting itinerant vendors and promisingsuch
help as the Police can afford in preventing the disturbance
of divine worship.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF IDDESLEIGH.
A resolution was unanimously passed on the 20th January,
expressing the Vestry's sense of the loss sustained by the
country in the death of their distinguished parishioner, the
Earl of Iddesleigh, and tendering their respectful sympathy to
Lady Iddesleigh and her family in the painfully sudden
bereavement and irreparable loss which they have sustained.
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 particulars of the present condition
of the Parish.
By Order,
HARRY WILKINS,
Vestry Clerk.
