July 28.—Sir John Hart, elected governor at the last general court, desires to be excused, alleging his age, weakness of body, and many other important businesses of his own; Alderman Cambell elected governor in his stead. The freedom of the Company sued for by Peter Wellington in place of Peter Helyn, deceased, denied, but the stock and profits to be granted to him. Freedom desired by Thos. Stephens, deferred "till further trial be made of his sufficient and faithful discharge of the trust reposed in him." The losses justly sustained by the cashiers of the late treasurers of this Company to be answered. Warrant to pay the rent for the Company meetings at Founders' Hall. [Two pages and a quarter.
