in the report for the year ended 25th March,
1890.

this public way runs through the courtyard of
Northampton Buildings, the boundaries of such
public way being defined by narrow iron rails fixed

the bar was sometimes unlocked and placed across
the roadway. In consequence of this being done,

the Vestry decided to remove the bar altogether.
Summary Proceedings.—During the year Summonses
have been issued at the instance of the
Vestry and heard by the Magistrate at the Clerken-
