May 1782

County is now in a dry and safe state for use; and it being the
opinion of this Meeting from the insecure and inconvenient
situation in which the Records now are at Hicks Hall for want
of room there that they can not be too soon removed into the said
repository or room as well on account of their safety from fire as
from the convenience of arranging them in due and useful order

Resolved that his Majestys Justices of the Peace
for this County in their next Session of the Peace assembled and
on the County day of such Session be informed of the opinion of
this Meeting touching he Premises and requested to direct the
removal of the said Records into the said Record Room in
order to their being regularly deposited and arranged.

It being represented into this Meeting that a
person is now and has been for some time past employed to open
the Windows and light the Fires for the purpose of drying the
Building and also to take care of the same at a Weekly expence
of Thirteen shillings. And it also being represented to this
Meeting that the Building may be made ready for the purpose
of holding the Sessions of the Peace Therein by the first of July
now next ensuing.

Resolved that his Majestys Justices of the
Peace for this County be informed of the Premises and that it
be recommended to them to order the House keeper at Hicks
Hall forthwith to remove into the said New Session House to
take care of the same, so that the said Weekly expence of
Thirteen shillings may be discontinued

Resolved that it be recommended to his Majestys
Justices of the Peace for this County to order and direct that the
furniture at Hicks Hall belonging to them be removed to the
New Session House there to be placed and fixed up
