was a Balance in hand of £296..6..5 Mr. Walton made as<lb></lb>
statement of what further sums he had to receive and pay as<lb></lb>
nearly as he could ridge and submitted to the Vestry whether they<lb></lb>
would give any directions concerning his said present Balance<lb></lb>
to have the same or any part of it invested in the public<lb></lb>
Funds for the benefit of the Parish Or if it should be paid over<lb></lb>
with any other monies he might have in hand at the final<lb></lb>
Settlement of his Account to his Successor in office And the<lb></lb>
same being taken into consideration It appeared to be the Sense<lb></lb>
of the Vestry That it would be improper to lay out any part<lb></lb>
of said Balance in the public Funds but that the rates for the<lb></lb>
Church and Poor should be reduced as for as could be done<lb></lb>
