Church Warden
fined-

The Minutes of the last Vestry being read, Mr. Church
Warden Gosling acquainted the Gentlemen present that
this Vestry was called at the desire of Mr. Hankey, who
would be glad to Fine for the Office of Church Warden.

Mr. Hankey Alledged, that since his Election to the
Office of Church Warden, he had consider'd the matter,
and did not think he should be able to pay that attention
to the Office which was requisite and therefore desired
leave to Fine.

Mr. Church Warden Gosling moved that Mr. Hankey
be Excused from serving the Office of Church Warden
upon payment of the usual Fine, and being seconded
the Question was put and Carried in the Affirmative.
