the New Buildings that they had proceeded to have
a plan & proposals drawn up for the building
4 Houses above St Thomas Church and in
regard Mr Laurence Neal< no role >
who built the Eight
Houses below the Bird in hand has alledged
that he is a considerable loser by that Bargan
wch. the Committee apprehend may be true
And that Mr. Porter has been very Servisable
in attending & advising about the new
intended Buildings. The Committee think
it reasonable to shew both Mr Neal & Mr Porter

respective offers & demands for such
new building and Mr Treasurer now lays
them before this Grand Committee the Plan and
Proposals for their consideration

844:11
Which demand of Mr Porters is considerabley
lower than an Estimate made by Mr. Steer
