MR. NEWTON KING AND ST. ADREW’S VESTRY.

TO THE EDITOR. •Sir, —May 1 trespass on your valuable space to put right the rather’misleading notes of your Inglewood correspondent in your issue of Thursday in last week. In fairness to Mr. Kmg I must say that* no suggestion whatever has come from him that his agreement to move St. Andrew’s Church to its new site should ho broken or his purchase of the present site he allowed to lapse. The matter discussed was a private question between Mr. King and the Vestry and had reference to the best and most economical way of carrying out the wprk of removing tho church to its new site, and tho discussion being clearly of a private nature no reference should have been made to the matter in the _press —much less such an incorrect and misleading account as that furnished by your "orrospondent, which gives such an erroneous idea of what took place.—l am, etc., H. C. WILLIAMS, Secretary St. Andrew’s Vestry, Inglewood. Inglewood, January 23, 14918.
