[..] Surgeon to cut for
the Stone without Licence
of the General Court or
Grand Committee}

We having Considered the Difficulties Attending the Operation of
Cutting for the Stone Are of Opinion That it will be for the Service of the
Hospital That no person who shall be hereafter Chosen a Surgeon into
this Hospital be permitted to Cut for the Stone within the Hospital untill
he shall have Obtained the Particular Licence or Consent of the General
Court or Grand Committee for that Purpose And that such Licence be not
given within less than One Year after the time of his being Elected a Surgeon And
we therefore recommend it to this Cout. That the same may be made a Standing
Order of this Court.

Further allowance

very diligently for the year past And that the Trouble of his Office is increased
of late years by the Great Increase of Patients we Recommend it to this
Court that he may have a Gratuity of Ten Pounds Paid by Mr. Treasurer
for the Last Years Service.
