in March, 1895, received and considered a letter

the Privy Council on Education, urging that an
amended Order may he drawn up by the Department
governing the conduct of future elections, in
in which a revised scale of expenses may be laid
down and provision made for a proper audit of the
accounts connected with the election, and asking
the Vestry to support their action. The Vestry

the Kensington Vestry in the matter.
