Notice of a vestry meeting for the election of ell
wardens and other officers of the parish hasiogot
given in the regular form, for Thursday, the 27th, at
in the forenoon, another notice was affixed to the_,rot
door on Easter Sunday, calling a vestry meetingvid
the purpose of electing parish officers,. 01. 69
Michael Gibbs and Thomas Whittaker. As the
notice was given without the consent of the rectoisclo
is by law essential to the validity of all meetingoils(
kind, the following protest was fixed on the churrs,',ol
and copies of it were sent to Michael Gibbs and "IP
Whittaker :
" St . Stephen's; Walbrook, March 24,
" The rector of the parish having observed Ur
church door a notice for a vestry meeting 014,
Tuesday, signed Michael Gibbs and Thomas W°` —OOI
hereby protests against that meeting. as being soli-riS

The authorities on which this protest was
were-Ist, the opinion of Dr. Phillimore, given thorti'l
on the point—namely, "The usual, and therefer'brtY
ordim•ry circumstances, the preferable course is "f
churchwardens to give notice for the hrlding

Notwithstanding this protest Mr. Michael v.'s ref

Thus ended the meeting, in which but three

thus the parish, now fur the third year, is to he a', fir
the same state of confusion, which is ulreadl P-001
known to the public. Three individuals are to bsob,
election of the parish officers, and if Mr. Michael ieg
shall so please, it will be in his power to be reselescost!

his natural life. This is the twenty-third Yesirscsed
holding the same. Since the period when thud or
of his stewardship, during nineteen years ":"01e0'
wards, was demanded by a bill in Chancery of
