" Whereas it is observed that of late years by reason of the rising of the rates and prices of provisions, the sums of i8/i. a man, chargeable upon three utter barristers as stewards for the grand feast in every reading, are not sufficient to defray the charge in a manner suitable to that occasion and to support the honour of the House, it is ordered that henceforth every steward of the bar shall pay 20/i. towards his part of that charge. " Mr. Fairwell, Mr. Willis, and Mr. Gate, of the bench, are desired to confer with such of the utter barristers and others of the fellows of this society as they shall think fit, concerning their seats in the Temple church, and to report their opinions therein to the table, to the end such further order may be given therein as shall be meet."
