P . G . M . for East Lancashire , and Bros . John Bell , Agar , Wills , T . Chadwick , Foster , Scattergood , Corner , and J . Chadwick . They explained fully their views and Avishes , and after some discussion , a scheme was propounded for giving to the Province a riht to elect and send any number of
chilg dren , not exceeding eight , to the School . We believe the plan laid down was , that the Province should pay a sum of , £ 800 as a sort of fund to meet a proportionate part of the charges for tbe building and establishment , and for securing the right of electing children ( subject , of course , to the general regulations of the School ) , and then should pay an annual sum per head for Ihe maintenance , & c , of each child sen ! .
