33.—No Vestryman shall at any Vestry or Committee meeting
take part in any discussion or vote on any question in which he is,
either personally or as agent, interested.
34.—Deputations desiring to wait upon the Vestry may do so
subject to the following conditions-
A deputation shall give at least four clear days' notice in
writing to the Vestry Clerk, and such notice shall be included in
the Agenda of the meeting which the deputation proposes to
attend.
A deputation shall be provided with a memorial in writing to
be laid before the Vestry setting forth the object with which it
attends, and shall be received at 8 p.m.
One member only shall be allowed to address the Vestry,
except in reply to questions, and the memorial shall not be considered
by the Vestry until the deputation shall have withdrawn,
when it may be dealt with without notice of motion.
35.—The supervision of the clerks and officers in the various departments
shall be entrusted to the heads of such departments with directions
to report any irregularity of attendance or default of duty to the
Vestry Clerk, who shall, if he consider it necessary, bring the same

shall, if in its opinion necessary, report the matter to the Vestry.
36.—When a vacancy occurs in the staff of any department, the
Committee having charge of that department may recommend the
Vestry to appoint a person already in its service to the vacant post.
In the event of the Committee's not making, or of the Vestry's
rejecting any such recommendation, the Committee shall be authorised
to advertise for and receive applications from candidates, and to present
three to the Vestry. Tlie Vestry shall, by show of hands, reduce the
number to two, and immediately thereupon proceed to the election of
one of the two by show of hands, unless a poll be demanded by three
Vestrymen. The election of paid officers shall take place at 8 p.m.

servant, such officer or servant shall give the security of an approved
Guarantee Society at the expense of the Vestry.

district. He shall not, either solely or in partnership, continue or
engage in any trade or business; nor shall he become surety for any
person.

shall be paid for until the claim shall have appeared on the Agenda
and shall have been sanctioned by the Vestry.

Parliament.
