happiness of the Royal Family, which is felt by an attached and
devoted people.
A copy of the resolution was forwarded to General Sir
Dighton Probyn, with a request that he would be good
enough to submit the same to their Royal Highnesses the

in due course a reply was received from Sir Dighton, conveying
the thanks of the Prince and Princess of Wales to
the Vestry for their resolution of sympathy on the occasion
of their Royal Highnesses' great bereavement.
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
fellow-parishioners, 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.
