</

Walton's third Quarters Account being Read over and that there

was a Balance in hand of £296..6..5 Mr. Walton made as

</

statement of what further sums he had to receive and pay as

nearly as he could ridge and submitted to the Vestry whether they

would give any directions concerning his said present Balance

</

to have the same or any part of it invested in the public

Settlement of his Account to his Successor in office And the

same being taken into consideration It appeared to be the Sense

</

of the Vestry That it would be improper to lay out any part

of said Balance in the public Funds but that the rates for the

Church and Poor should be reduced as for as could be done

with propriety.
