21. Printed lists of the names of the Vestrymen, in alphabetical order, shall be provided for the tellers, two of whom (one from the “Noes” and one from the “Ayes”) shall tell from each side of the question, by marking off on such lists the names of the Vestrymen on such side, who are to pass between the tellers respectively for that purpose.

22. No Committee shall be appointed except by motion after due notice; and whenever the Vestry shall have resolved to appoint a Committee the names of the Members of such Committee shall be proposed by the mover of the Committee; provided that any other Vestrymen may thereupon move the addition, omission, or substitution of any Vestryman or Vestrymen as a member or members of such Committee.

23. The election of all paid officers shall be by ballot; and no candidate shall be eligible for election unless he shall have been proposed and seconded by Members of the Vestry; nor shall there be more than one ballot for the same office.

24. Such ballot shall be by means of folding Balloting Papers, containing the name or (if there be more than one appointment of the same description) names of the candidate or candidates voted for, which papers shall be handed, by the Vestrymen voting, to the Chairman, or to some person deputed by him, and deposited in a balloting box by the Chairman, or such person who shall count the balloting papers, and state to the Board the number of them.

25. Any member of the Vestry objecting to a motion of which notice has not been given, or to the immediate consideration of a report brought up by a Committee, may require the same to be placed on the paper for discussion at the next meeting, unless the Vestry Clerk or Surveyor shall state that the subject is urgent, in which case the Board shall determine, by a show of hands, whether the same shall be immediately considered.

26. The public are to have access to all books and minutes of the Vestry, between the hours of 2 and 4 daily; and as soon as adequate accommodation can be provided, the meetings of the Vestry shall be open to the ratepayers of the Parish; and it shall be lawful for all members of the Vestry to attend the Meetings of Committees, but not to take part in their proceedings.

27. Special Meetings for revoking and altering resolutions and acts of the Vestry, as required by the 57th Section, are to be convened on a requisition to the Clerk, signed by seven members of the Vestry; but no such Meeting shall be held unless seven day’s notice thereof shall be given, by notice given to, or sent by post to, or delivered at, the usual place of abode of each Vestryman, which notice shall state the time and place of meeting, and shall specify the object thereof; and no business shall be transacted at any Special Meeting, except such as is stated in the notice thereof.

28. In the event of any urgent business requiring in the opinion of the Clerk an earlier meeting of the Vestry than would take place under the above (27th) Bye-Law, it shall be his duty to call such meeting, giving three day’s notice; or if he shall receive a written requisition, signed by five members, stating the object for which they wish such meeting to be convened, it shall be equally his duty to call such meeting, at three day’s notice, out of the usual course, but no subject shall be discussed at such meeting, except the one stated in the requisition.

By Order,
Charles Lahee,
Vestry Clerk.
