with a view to peace and to prevent further litigation,
"The manner of payment recommended is the following:
"As it is just possible that a Court of Law might have awarded
to Mr. White half a year’s salary, I would recommend that this
amount, viz. £37 10 be paid to him from out of the Society’s
Funds, and that the remaining amount, viz. £362 10 be paid out
of voluntary subscriptions to be raised for that purpose and for
which I offer myself as Guarantee.
"The whole to be paid over to Mr. White as soon as I have a
letter from Mr. Philp stating that all other law proceedings referred
to in the Agreement are finally settled.

attempted, and its full determination to support the Committee in such
measures as in a spirit of kindness and forbearance they may adopt,

judgment, may directly promote, or not interfere with, their accept
