A Poll took place in Pall Mall and Golden Square Wards,,
and the total expense of conducting the elections, including
the hire of rooms and publication of notices, amounted to
£21 13s. 4d. An order for the payment of this sum from
the Poor Rate was made by the Yestry in accordance with
the Statute.
The Vestry feel that at least a passing reference is due to
the resignation, in consequence of removal from the Parish,.
A
of Mr. Joseph Box, who had been annually elected by the
Parishioners one of the Auditors of Accounts for 15 years
in succession. On the 20th December the vestry passed a
resolution expressing their appreciation of the services thus
rendered to the Parishioners by Mr. Box, whose father, it is
interesting to note, was at one time Churchwarden, and for
many years a much esteemed member of the vestry.
A list of the Vestrymen and Auditors of Accounts will be
found on pages 7 and 8.
