<p n="314">Thus having observed in General on the sd. Report the Commee Proceed to <lb></lb>
Shew what Recopcon this Report met with from the Trustees. The Report <lb></lb>

& to be considered Paragraph by Paragraph at their next Meeting. <lb></lb>
After Mr Jennings had quitted the Chair and himself & many more <lb></lb>
gone away, Another Trustee was Put into the Chair, and at the <lb></lb>
Close of the business of the day, the Minutes of the day were read <lb></lb>
(which on Examinacon we find to be the only time that the Minutes <lb></lb>
were ever read) and agreed to, all except the latter Part of the Minute <lb></lb>
for returning thanks to the Commee. The 4th. of Febry. the Report was <lb></lb>
considered Paragraph by Paragraph, It is censured as containing <lb></lb>
many In sinuations & ground less Refleccons on Mr Fuller & Mr Edwards <lb></lb>
& without further Reasen they give their thanks to the said Mr Edwards; <lb></lb>
and tho they think fit to disagree with the said commee as to what <lb></lb>
Relates to Mr Edwards, Yet they could not Permit themselves totally to<lb></lb>
disagree with the said Commee but are Pleased to make some Orders <lb></lb>
on the Observacons made by the said Commee in their Repot The <lb></lb>
Commee cannot find in what Part of the said Report those <lb></lb>
In Sinnatons & groundless Refleccons on Mr Fuller & Mr Edwards are to be <lb></lb>
found</p>
<p n="315">The third Paper laid before you is a Report from a Commee appointed to <lb></lb>
inspect their late Trearers Accots. It was not reasonable to expert this <lb></lb>
Report should meet with better Recepcon then the other. The Report was <lb></lb>
made the 8th. of July 1718-was read-and ordered to be entred-at the same <lb></lb>
time a Mocon was made for thanks to the Commee, and carried in the <lb></lb>
Negative. and at the same time the Trustees thought fit to disagree with <lb></lb>
the Commee as to such Sums as the Commee were of opinion ought not to <lb></lb>
be allowed to the said Mr Edwards, and imediately Ordered those Sumes <lb></lb>
to be allowed to the said Mr Edwards, which they well Know was Contrary <lb></lb>
to their former Order and to an Agreemt. made by the said Mr Edwards <lb></lb>
himself. And then to compleat all order thanks to be again given to <lb></lb>
their favourite Trearer Mr Edwards Thus much may Suffice as Genal <lb></lb>

<p n="317">The Commee as to this Article observe that the Toll amounts upwards <lb></lb>
of £2500 Comunibus Anms That the said Mr J. Edwards is a Tradesman <lb></lb>

we conceive it Mange that no Gentleman of a visible Estate <lb></lb>
