this boy. The Meeting having duly considered the case
and before dismissing the boy from the school direct the
teacher to put him under the charge or surveillance of
two of the most active boys in the school who will watch
him and restrain him from doing any injury to books and
to report the result to the next meeting, when the case
will be finally disposed of. The two boys to be paid one
penny each for their attention. The two boys named are
Andrew Hathorn and Joseph McCafferty.

into the School. It was agreed that she be admitted on
condition that he pay up the existing arrears & also
sixpence per week for his two children.

Monday week and a shilling per week until her existing
arrears are paid up. The teacher to report at next
