When they found that state of things in existence they had summoned the Mayor> wh'i had immediately suspended the clerk and taken charge of the office. They '.onsidered the auditors had been grossly negligent as their work had not been done. They also reported that as far as they could ascertain, there was a deficiency of a sum of £550, extending over a period of four years. It was also reported that the Town Clerk— C. E.
