Jobson Convener of the Guildry Committee addressed to Provost Riddoch to make
arrangements regarding the delivery of the funds books and papers to the Guildry
Incorporation in terms of the Resolutions of the Toun Council. Bailie Brown then stated that
these funds books and papers would be delivered to the Guildry Incorporation at the term of
Martinmas next on condition that the Incorporation shall undertake all obligations come
under by the Toun Council on account of the Guildry while they managed the affairs of that
Incorporation and grant a Discharge in favour of the Magistrates and Council of their
intromissions, with the funds of the Guildry and their management of the Guildry concerns
preceding the said term of Martinmas; The Members of the Committee of the Guildry as well
as of the Committee of the Toun Council unanimously approved of Bailie Browns proposal.
With regard to the money belonging to the Guildry in the hands of the Toun and Kirk Fabric
the Guildry Committee were unanimously of opinion that such money may remain on the
same Bond will Whitsunday next bearing interest at four and a half per cent if the Toun
Council chose to keep it.
The Joint Meeting directed the Toun Clerk to prepare the necessary discharge to the Toun
council and Mr James Saunders to revise the Deed.
