for all such persons whose business is immediately before the Court

And Whereas in the present State of the building
it is difficult to get to the Court and the Magistrates are under the
necessity of passing through the Croud to get to one side of the bench it is
thought expedient by the Committee that necessary Stair Cases should
be contrived in proper places that there should be a particular entrance
for the Magistrates and convenient passage made for going there from
to be bench on either side of the Chair.

The Committee not willing to Trespass on the time
of the Court by a longer narrative of Particulars Ordered plans and
a written description of the whole to be made out by Mr Rogers which
they have annexed hereto and Recommend to the Court as the most
proper method of effectuating the business committed to their charge
The whole Expence deducting the value of the Materials of the present
buildings will not exceed £3600 and it is hoped will be less

The Committee thought it adviseable to give
Public notice by advertisement to the Justices of this County that the
report on this Business would be made on this day

Signed Charles Dodd< no role >

Which report being read this Court doth approve and agree to the
said Report and doth ratify and confirm that part of the same
which respects the repairs and Alterations necessary to be done to the
present Building
