Committee, who met and viewed the land on which Mr.
Stotesbury has been charged for paving and road-making,
rendered unnecessary by the operations consequent on the
new Bridge. Mr. Stotesbury met the Committee, and
offered to accept £200 so agreed. After careful discussions
and suggestions the Committee agreed to recommend the
Vestry's acceptance of his offer, instead of £152 18s., the
amount tendered by the Vestry in full satisfaction of all
claims he might have against the Vestry in respect of
paving expenses of such road.
The offer of Mr. Stotesbury was accepted by the Vestry,
it being an additional payment of £48 2s. on the money
already tendered.
The Committee, in closing their report, expressed their
appreciation of the Chairman's services, and stated that to
him was due much of the probable success attending the
amicable settlement of a law suit. The reference to the
Special Committee was discharged.
