Of the Benevolent Institutions, shall constitute
the Board OF Trustees of said institution.
This caused quite a discussion, resulting

for the resolution was that the affairs at
Knightstown were to be investigated, aud
that no Trustee ought TO be selected until
that investigation was concluded William
