Church Clock

Mr. Church Warden Tutet acquainted the Committee that
the Clock when taken to pieces was found to be so much out
of Repair, that it would require a further sum to be expended
than was mentioned in Mr. Green's former Estimate. Mr.
Green had therefore taken a new Estimate of the whole Expence
amounting to Twenty Seven Pounds which was delivered
in and read. And the Committee being satisfied that the
Repairs mentioned in the said Estimate were necessary, the
Question was put, that the clock be repaired according to
Mr. Green's Estimate now delivered in, and carried in the
affirmative.

Pulpit

Mr. Church Warden Tutet further acquainted the
Committee that he should be glad to take their opinion
concerning the removal of the Sounding Board over the
Pulpit.

A Letter from the Revd. Dr. Lynch on that subject to
Mr. Church Warden Tutet was produced and read.

And the matter being for some time debated, It was
moved That it be left to the determination of a Vestry to
be called for that purpose, "Whether the Sounding Board
should, or should not be taken away."-and being seconded
the Question was put and carried in the Affirmative.

Ordered that a Vestry be called on Thursday next the
26th. day of October instant at ten o'clock in the Forenoon
to consider if the Sounding Board shall be taken away
and on other affairs.
