back, of a large bible and prayer-hook (silver), 200
ounces ; two silver saleers, nearly- 200 ounce, ;
other waiters, and two large silver candlesticks, 330
.Ohnces ; two other candlesticks 200 ounces ; todr
flaggons, 400 ounces ; two chalices, &c.
ounces; two smaller ditto, a 0 ounces. These ar-;
ticle4, or most of them, were used on Friday last
