MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AND ESTABLISHMENT ARRANGEMENTS.
The result of the ward elections on the 29th of May, 1860, was to effect the following changes in the constitution of the board:—
Descriptions, with plans, of the several wards, with the names and addresses of the members of the vestry representing them, of the auditors of the accounts, and of the officers, as required by the Act to be given in each report, will be found in the Appendix No. 1 (pages 28 to 36).
At Easter, 1860, the usual election of churchwardens, sidesmen, church trustees, and auditors of the church trustees’ accounts took place; their names and addresses, together with those of the persons previously nominated as fit to serve the office of overseers of the poor, and submitted for the choice of the magistrates in special sessions, will be found in the Appendix No. 3, (page 37).
The vestry on Easter Tuesday also elected John Moore Segar, son of John Moore Segar deceased, for admission into the parochial charity school, pursuant to the will of the late John Chamberlayne, Esquire.
The return usually ordered by the board previous to the annual election, showing the attendances of each member, is reprinted in the Appendix No. 2 (and faces page 36); but as the period embraced in that return does not entirely correspond with the parochial year, the tabular arrangement commenced in the last report is continued:—
A list of the members who have served upon the various committees, and sub-committees, during the year, is given in the Appendix No. 4 (pages 38 to 41); and the list annually issued by the vestry clerk, containing the names and places of abode of the parochial clergy and lay officers, immediately follows it. Appendix No. 5 (pages 42 to 46).
