- To The Diocesan Registrar... re installation of steel window frame, Messrs Whiting & Byrne... We will investigate this matter... As regards our report to you recently re cost measuring, etc of the St James Buildings William Street, we trust it is clear to you that besides refunding a half of the portion of the architect's fees mentioned, you would also eventually be saving the cost of this portion of the measuring up we are instructed to proceed with the modernising of the building. April 2 1930. Page 76.

- To The Diocesan Registrar... re installation of steel window frame, Messrs Whiting & Byrne... We have inspected the Light Court of your property building No. 103 - 105 William Street and adjoining No. 101 with regard to the proposal ... to place a steel window frame in the wall facing the court... 1. Unless the court is one with a common right of light for both parties... must obtain the sanction of the owners of No. 103... right of light ... is shown on the Title Deed 2. Assuming... is not shared in common, then the sanctioning of the placing of the window... would most likely affect your building rights, only as regards any additional storeys around the light court, necessitating stepping back of the added storeys in order to give required angle of light... 3.... we can see no reason why a window... would affect your extending your building to the right-of-way at rear at a future date... the additions evidently recently made by 101 at the rear of their property and presumably adjoining your property line, have windows directly facing on to your property... However, the Payne's Act of Parliament dated 1908 with regard to Light rights will no doubt be your protection 4.
