</

Then Mr. Richardson resumed his Motion, And

</

after some debate it seem'd to be the sense of the Gentlemen
<
lb

</

who were for reducing the Fine that Twenty Guineas wou'd

be too small a Fine. The said Motion was therefore

withdrawn. And Mr. Pope moved that the Fine for the
<
lb

</
lb

Office of Church Warden only be lower'd from Forty pounds
<
lb

</
lb

to Twenty five Pounds; And being seconded by Mr. Tutet
<

the Question was put, but carried in the Negative.

Mr. Church Warden Woodmass then acquainted the

Vestry that Mr. Bristow the Engine maker had complain'd

of the Fire Engines being out of Order, and had offered to

keep them in constant Repair at a Salary of Four Guineas

per annum.

the Engineer was then Ordered
