* Those whose names are thus marked above formed <strong>the</strong> Common Council when<br />

<strong>the</strong> charter was surrendered in 1752. The minutes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Trustees are not quite<br />

complete as to <strong>the</strong> changes made during <strong>the</strong> last few years and it is not certain when<br />

Cavendish was chosen to <strong>the</strong> Council or whe<strong>the</strong>r Bouverie ever resigned from <strong>the</strong><br />

body or not.<br />

Besides attending <strong>the</strong> meetings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation and <strong>the</strong> Common Council, <strong>the</strong><br />

more active Trustees frequently had duties to perform on some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> permanent or<br />

special committees which were so frequently employed by both bodies. Although,<br />

service on <strong>the</strong> committees was very <strong>of</strong>ten assigned to any three or more <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mem<br />

bers, it usually devolved on a very few persons who were willing to sacrifice <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

time for <strong>the</strong> good <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> colony. The various journals and minutes which describe<br />

<strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> committees frequently fail to indicate <strong>the</strong> individuals who composed<br />

<strong>the</strong> committees, but sufficient information may be gleaned from <strong>the</strong>m to show with<br />

reasonable accuracy <strong>the</strong> members both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corporation and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Common Council<br />

who were most prominent in this work.<br />
