The said Meander Morterell, being Cdovener of the county,

the
ation the late
alarrrung etrase of augmentations of stipend, obtained by
Clergy of Scotland, many of which bare • been repeated in
the !Me pertsbas in the centime of a very few years, and have
subjected the Writers to a grievous additional burthen, as well as
much ern= andineonvenismce, by having so frequently to em-
piqy agents at,Edinburgh, and to transmit their title-deeds for in-
spec-den. at the Teind Court,, and to concert the most effectual
measures for Checking this growing evil.
Mr. Muroran's* reported, that on his being informed by the
Clerk, that the draught of the propmed new Road Act for this
county lod been printed and circulated, he had, also dirt-toed him
tq give notice by advertisement, that the said draught woelti be

there would also be laid before them, a printed copy of the Iteso.

Which being taken into consideration by the meeting, they in .
nimottsly approved of their being called together on the pees.: t
occasion. The meeting first took up the business respecting the

2d. That the meeting are in the knowledge, that repeated auk

were exposed to the risk of being lost, and the 'landholders sub-

being finally determined for many years in most of cases.
Sd. That the meeting consider it Just and proper, clic...the m'-

passed so restricting the time of receiving claims of augmentation,
would not only prevent the trouble and expel:ices sustained by
landlords as aforesaid, but would also prevent the expert

understanding which would thereby arise between them and the
Her icon of their parishes.
