A letter from the Board of Supervision was laid before the meeting in reference to the matter of Security of intromissions of the Inspector.  The clerk was instructed to reply to the Board had obtained from the Inspector satisfactory security at the time of appointment and that they regarded this security as still sufficient.

The Inspector laid before the meeting an estimate of the expenditure for the next half year in the following terms:

Percent £5 - cleaning Church 15/- Common Exp £1 - Presbytery £2   Casualities £2.5
