assistant or assistants under such annual stipends as they shall
think proper for teaching different branches of literature at
the sd School; and the remainder of the money to be by them
applied in Exhibitions to be given to any Scholar or Scholars of
the sd School going to either of the Universities, as the
Governors for the time being shall think best for the good of
the sd School, or in any gratuitys to be given to any Scholar
or Scholars to create emulation whilst at School.

The Governors think it would be of great use ... if some ANNUAL
EXHIBITION were established of 20 or L30 a year to two or more
Scholars going to either of the Universities, who had resided
three of the last years of his Education as a Scholar of
Giggleswick School. Such Exhibitions to be held for four years,
if residing at the University, but they have some doubt how far
this can be done, or any gratuity given to any Scholar to create
Emulation, whilst still at School, consistent with the Charter.
Therefore they desire Mr Withers to give his opinion.

been a little obnoxious to the rest of the Governors, they wish
a Statute may be prepared empowering any two of the Governors
from time to time to call a meeting of the Governors respecting
the sd School. And that any new elected Governor may be sworn
before any two Governors at such meeting to be true and faithful
towds the sd School.

The whole of the Governors are perfectly unanimous in this
business, except the Rev. John Clapham, the vicar, who has not
attended lately the meetings of the Governors, tho' he has
always had regular notice given him of every meeting that has
been held, and he gives no reason why he does not attend the
meetings and concur with the rest of the Governors in the Trust.

Bishop Watson, of Llandaff, was also consulted. He had already been
connected with William Paley, the Headmaster's son, and had been his
examiner for his degree, and suggested the insertion of the "non," when
the Master of Christ's had been scandalized by the subject on which
Paley had intended to write his theme.--"Aeternitas poenarum
contradicit divinis attributis." In the matter of the new Statutes his
