Mr. Pope then stood up and desired leave to make a

</

Motion previous to the Election of Church Warden, and said that

</
lb

the Fine for Church Warden had been for a long time Forty
<
lb

</
lb

Pounds, which he Concerved was too high, and prevented many

</
lb

Gentlemen from Fining: that as a sum of Money would be

</
lb

required to pay for the Repairs of the House in Philpot Lane
<
lb

</
lb

on Lease to Mr. Theed, the same would probably be raised if the
<
lb

</
lb

Fine was lowerd without any Increase of Rates or Assessments
<
lb

</
lb

on the Inhabitants either to Church or Poor, and therefore
<
lb

</
lb

Moved that the Fine for Church Warden be lower'd to Thirty

Pounds, and was Seconded by Mr. Jutet.
