The printed copies of the Annual Report were presented. Arrangements were adopted for the lighting of the nave and aisle of the Church by standard to besupplied by Messer’s Patterson and Co of Belfast at 26/6 each -The BaronessVon Stieglitz having generously provided for the lighting of the Chancel.

As the minds of many of the Parishioners were reported to be much agitated by the Finials designed for the ornamentation of the gable ends of the Church the following resolution proposed by Mr George Calvert and seconded by Mr William McCann was unanimously adopted.

Resolved that though the Finials on the gables of the rebuilt Parish Church were designed by the Architect mainly for the greater ornamentation of the building and are in themselves unobjectionable, yet as it is alleged that they are offensive to many of the parishioners, the select vestry in the interest of peace consent that the Finials shall be either removed or altered to some shape that may be more satisfactory.

The vestry was adjourned to Monday 6^th July next
