The clergyman appoints ono churcli- » warden, and tho parishioners elect tho s other. Tho vostrj-mon must bo not r las than three nor more than ien jti c number. S It has been decided, after consulta- • tion between tho Government? and the i Public Service Commissioner, that tho e minimum pension allocated to staff mess sengers, a number of whom wo.ro retired 0 Feme months, ago, shall bo 30s per „ Meek, It was at first decided that e allowances to which messengers were entitled should bo supplemented, so that the pension, should he 30s. per week. This, decision of tho Government r was announced by circular bj tho Pub- ' lie Service Commissioner. It was after--1 v ards found that that basis, if adopted, r would work out unfairly m tho case t of men hlio nero entitled to large supere animation It was tnen decided that t tho basis should bo that the Governe ment should paj £1 per week, plus half . t'io superannuation in everj case, so { that therebj thoso ■who had tho longer u service would properlj recei\o the larger pension. In tLe case of some , ■ messengers who were not entitled to , huge superannuation, the second process wouM work out to reduco their mini-* 3 mum below 30s. per weak. It has now 5 been decided, after consideration by "the • Government, that the basis of £1 per 3 Hook, plus half superannuation, should 1 bo adhered to but that the minimum . pension n n all cases should bo 30s. per - neck. l On Saturday ciening last (sajs-n cor- , lespondeiit), a meetiiig to form a i, branch, of the Reform League was held - m Knniara, and o\er 100 members were eniollcd, and pledged to support any I Reform candidate. $ ) Tlie tltirt>-si\th annt\ersary sen ices > of <ho ViMaii Street, Bapti&t Church : wero held on.
