A vote of thanks was passed to the Captᵗ and members of the Voluntary Fire-brigade for their services; also to Messrs J. G. & W. Orr for allowing the fire appliances to be stored on their premises.
Candidates for Captᵗ H. Wright’s Scholarships
A resolution was unanimously passed whereby the Clerk was instructed to communicate with the Clerk to the Trustees of the Captᵗ Henry Wright’s Charity respecting candidates for scholarships of the above Charity, asking to be informed what procedure is taken for preparing candidates, and whether coaching of certain candidates is permitted previous to examination, and if so, the parishioners consider that such a course is very objectionable and unfair, and they hope the Trustees will take note of such action, if any is found to exist.
A. W. J. Eyre
