Mr Paulin, Churchwarden, Henley-on-Thames,

Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 3 April 1875

Henley-on-Thames

Vestry meeting – On Tuesday the annual vestry meeting was held in the Town Hall, the Rector occupying the chair. After reading the minutes of the last year’s meeting, the churchwardens’ accounts for the past year were adopted, subject to the examination of the auditors.  Mr Watts observed that the directions of the will of the donor of Smith’s charity, respecting its distribution, had been departed from, and complained that some of the funds had been expended in beautifying and decorating the chancel of the church.  The Rector thought the charity had been properly dealt with, and as regarded the way in which the money had been expended, he was of opinion that he and the Churchwardens had a right to deal with it as they liked. After a few further observations the matter dropped. Mr O. Simmons, of Northfield End, was appointed Rector’s Warden, and Mr C Lucey and Mr Paulin, the late warden, were nominated for the office of parish warden.  A poll was demanded by Mr Lucey, and the following was the result: Paulin 211; Lucey 92.
