PURSUANT to the 195th Section of the Metropolis Local Management Act, We hereby certify that we have carefully examined the respective Accounts
of the Vestry of the Parish of Saint James and Saint John, Clerkenwell, for the year ending Lady-day, 1890, and that we find them to be true and correct except
that we disallow and surcharge the following item of payment, viz.;—Testimonial to Mr Ex-Churchwarden Spires. £15 15s. 0d. We disallov the above item on the
ground that the payment was inexpedient and undesirable, and an illegal and improper payment out of the General Rate of the Parish; and we surcharge the following
persons with such payment, viz.:—James Gibson, William Pierpoint, and William Davies, the signatories to the cheque drawn for payment of the amount.
We have also much pleasure in expressing our approval of the admirable manner in which the books have been kept, and also in stating that in our task w#
received very material assistance from Mr. Ernest Paget, the First Assistant Clerk.
I sign and agree to the above with the exception of so much as relates to the surcharge.
Dated this 2nd day of July, 1890.
Wm. WATSON WESTON,
T. GRANVILLE HOCKRlDGE,
