VESTRY MIZTING. A somewhat numerously
attended vestry meeting WWI held in the vestry of Si.
Mary's Church, on Thursday. The rector, the Rev.
'T, (}rum, presided. The first business was to examine
and VIM the ,churehwardens' account& The rector
Galled upon the pettish churpbwarden to lay his state-
ment before the meeting.—Mr. E Reynolds remarked
that he was sorry to say that although he and Mr.
Vincent had made every exertion to bring the ale:aunts
forward they were unable to do so. He had therefore
to ask the vestry to allow them the usual month's
indulgence to produce the accounts in.—Mr. Rowland
Thomas inquired how much was uncollected '—Mr.
Reynolds replied that he could not nay.—Mr. William
Hurdle said the accounts ought to have been produced,
Of What use vu it calling • meeting if the nem:tote
were not produced.—Mr. Reynolds hoped to he able to
do se at the adjourned meeting.—Mr. Hurdle eon-
sidered that U Mr. Reynolds had too much business to
attend to his duties as ChdrohWardee; some one else
should be found who would do it more effectually. If
he undertook the office he ought to carry it out.—Mr.
Reynolds said the churchwardens bad not neglected
their duty, and offered to resign in favour of Mr.
Hurdle.—The Chairman said there was only a small
amount outstanding, and the churchwardens only
ask for the usual month's extension of time to bring
the accounts forward.—Mr. Commins proposed, an
Mr. Thomas seconded, that the time applied
for by the churchwardens should be grAnted.

ensuing year.—The diaitmati said be begged leave to
nominate Mr. Jethro Style as his own chtirChwarden;
with thanks to Mr. Vincent for his diligence in perform-
ing his duties during the past year. It was now for the
parish to select their churchwarden.—Mr. Robertson
moved that Mr. John Vincent, the rector's late church-
warden,be appointed on behalf of the parish. He (Mr.
Robertson) knew from experience that a churchwarden
did not know his work until he bad had two or three
years of offloe.—Mr. Thomas Fooks moonded the
proposition, which was carried unanimously.—The only
other matter of businese vas the appointment of
organist for the ensuing year.—Mr. R. Gemming pro-
posed that Mr. Rooke be reappointed, and said that he
mttst couple with the name of Mr. Rooke that of Mr.
Pothecary, whose exertions in having the singing
gallery enlarged certainly entitled him to the thanks of
tbe veatry. Pothecary eeconded the re-appointment
of Mr. Rookb, remarking that he should be happy to
render any assistance to that gentleman in the organ
loft. With respect to the alteration in the gallery that
WY a mere trifle, and he Was happy to say he was
collecting the money to defray the cost. This was not
chargeable to the church-rate he undertook to see Mr.
Reynolds paid C 2.5, and be should be glad to obtain a
subscription from any gentleman who was found
of the church choir.—The Chairman put Mr.
Commins' r,ropcoition to the vestry, which was
carriiid.—The discussion then reverted to Mr. Pothecary,
the Chair Man reinarkirig that he, considered Mr.
Pothecary was entitled to a vote 81 thanks at their
hands for having obtained an extension of the choir
gallery. By so doing he bad taken a great deal of
trouble off his (the (Jhairman's) and the churchwardens'
hands.—Mr. John Jenkins Rolla said this event would
be handed down to Mr. Pbtheeary's heirs and posterity.
—Mn the proposition of Mr. Commina, seconded by Mr.
Thomas, a resolution was entered on the book stating
"That the thanks of the vestry are due to Mr. Pothe-
eery for having assisted in the extension of the organ
gallery."—The Chairman said he was cure they would

for the decided but eourteous manner in which he had
carried out his duties. This was carried, and a vote of
