"Mr Paine presents his Compliments to Mr Eyles
"acquainting that he is sorry the resolutions of the last Committee at
"the Guildhall Westminster was a little understood as to require
"another pointless meeting in Town the last was of no more use to
"the Chertsey Bridge business than the last Years frost. The
"intended meeting upon the 4th. cannot be postponed the County of
"Surrey are again summoned for that day Mr. Paine cannot think
"of being guilty of a second rudeness and he is sorry Mr Eyles had not
"issued the summonses agreeable to his request Mr Paine has but just
"received Mr. Eyles Letter of the 26th. it being sent to Sayes and
"returned this morning."

It appearing to this Court that the Chertsey Bridge Committee at
their last meeting adjourned to meet in Town, That it is very
unusual and improper to hold Committees during the time of Session
(except at the Session House) and that to have the Chertsey Bridge
Committee meet on Wednesday next at Cherstey will be very
inconvenient and interfere with the business of this Session:
