therein: And that as the Governors have an undoubled Power to choose and

appoint during their pleasure the Minister or Chaplain for the said Church
<

</

He only or such as he should appoint, ought to Preach and performe Divine

Service in the said Church on Sunday Mornings, and not a Lecturer appointed

by the Parishioners, who if approved by our Chaplain or Minister ought

to Preach only in the Afternoons; And wee therefore Ordered, That the

said Mr Casbeard should not permitt any person chosen by the sd. Parishioners

as a Lecturer, to have the use of the said Pulpitt in the Mornings, and that

And your Committee, upon the Representation of Mr Treasurer
<

</
lb

takeing into Consideracon the Great Sums of money which have been for some
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
years past paid to the Church Wardens of the said Parish of St: Thomas for
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Buryalls of Patients dying within this Hospitall in the Church-Yard
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
or Burying Ground belonging to the said Church or Free Chappell of St. Thomas
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
when in Fact the said Church-Yard or Burying Ground is appropriated as
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
well for the Buryall of Patients and others dying in the said Hospitall, as of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the said Parishioners, And no Fees ought to be taken (as we humbly conceive)
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
from the Hospitall for the Buryalls of any such Patients or others. Wee
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Ordered in July last, That no such Fees should be paid for the Future without
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
further Order for it. And we desired Mr Treasurer to take the trouble upon
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
him of demanding the Key of the said Chuch-yard of the Church wardens,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in Order to have another Key made thereby for the Service of the Hospitall
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
And also to demand of them the Key of the Great or Outer Vault under the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
said Church which was delivered to the Parishioners in 1705. by the Governors.
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that the said Parishioners might make use of the same for Buryalls of the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Parishioners during the pleasure of the Governors: Wee thinking it
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
necessary at this time to Assert the Right of the Governors: to the said vault
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
least the Parishionrs: (as they seen inclined) should from their using the same
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
pretend to set up a Right in themselves to the said Vault, and to the profitts
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
ariseing thereby. Mr. Treasurer afterwards acquainted us, That he had
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
demanded the said Keys accordingly, but the Churchwardens refused to deliver
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Same; And thereupon by our Direccon, Mr Treasurer caused a Padlock
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to be put on the Dore of the said Vault, and took the Key, of the said Church
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
yard or Buryall Ground out of the Dore, and caused a new Key to be made
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for the use of this Hospitall, leaving the old Key with the above named
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Mr Casbeard for the use of the Parishioners. And no Fees haveing been
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
paid for Buryall of Patients in the said Church-yard since July last, the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Hospitall have saved thereby about the sum of Twenty pounds; Out of which
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
wee have ordered a Gratuity or Free Gift of Ten Guineas to be paid to the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Reverend Mr Say who has officiated as Lecturer in the said Parish from
<
lb
>
</
lb

July last at the Request of some of the Inhabitants and with the consent of
<
lb
>
</
lb

some of the Governors: and of the said Mr Casbeard for his past Service
<
lb

</

In Regard that severall of the parishioners who insisted upon haveing

a Lecturer
