public notice given in the Church to consider in
what manner the Balance of the late Church Warden's
Account should be applied and on other affairs.
Ordered that the Account current of Mr. Robt.

was read accordingly, upon which it appeared that
the Balance due to the Parish was One Hundred

to expend a sum of Money for the repairs of the Church
