LOCAL MAGISTRACY.
The Vestry Clerk to the Lord Lieutenant.
13th February, 1861.
My Lord Marquis,—I am instructed by this Vestry to transmit to your Lordship a copy of a resolution passed by them at a late meeting.
Resolved,—That the parish of Chelsea, having been deprived of the services as Magistrates of three gentlemen by death, and another being about to retire from parochial duties, it is important for the interest of the parish, that other gentlemen should be appointed in their place, therefore, that the vestry memorialize the Lord Lieutenant of the county for the appointment of some gentlemen who will act for the parish in that capacity.
I have the honor to be, my Lord Marquis,
Your Lordship’s most obedient and very humble servant,
Chas. Lahee,
Vestry Clerk.
The most Honorable the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., P.C., &c. &c. &c.,
20, Arlington-street, Piccadilly.
