At Maybole 14 January 1851
Present
The Reverend Mr Thomson
William Brown
The teacher brought before the Meeting
the following cases of arrears of the weekly payments
for children.
Widow Trousel’s son Thos . . 2 weeks @ 4d £ - - 8
Widow Irvine’s son Wm. . . . . 2 weeks @ 2d £ - - 4
Esther Buchanan’s son Samuel Thomson .3 weeks @ 2d £ - -
6 -
“ - her son Edward Higgins 2 weeks @ 6d £ - 1 -
Wm Milhall’s daughter Janet 3 weeks @ 4d £ - 1 - 3 / 6
Widow Trousel depends on being employed
as a Labourer in filling drains and from the want of
such work in the present season she says she is unable
to pay up the arrears, but promises to do so, when she
gets work. The Meeting are disposed to give her farther
delay under the circumstances and especially as she has
hitherto paid regularly.
Widow Irvine’s excuse is that she has
fallen behind in her rent and will pay up so soon as
that is cleared off. The Meeting direct the Teacher to
intimate that if the whole allowances up to Monday the
20 Current be not paid on that day her son is to be
dismissed from the School. The Meeting direct the same
notice to be given to Esther Buchanan and Wm Milhall . |
