the subject when the rector was enabled to be present.
Mr. Allen introduced a lengthy discussion concerning
the misunderstanding which had taken place with
regard to the ringing of the bells. He considered that
blame was attached to all parties concerned, and that
matters might be easily set right. The cingers were
hardly dealt with, May Sunday was approaching, and
the majority would be sorry to hear them silent on
that occasion. Mr. Allen thought the churcthwardene
should have been consulted in the matter before the
ringers were discharged, and in that case all might
have been made right. The Chairman pointed out
that the wardens and rector were one in the matter.
Mr. Allen wished to put as a proposition "that the
ringers be re-instated in office by the rector and wardens
without further correspondence." The Chairman
pointed out that such a proposition was out of plop.
