Reported in writing _

That the charter authorizes the Trustees to designate
the representative of a lot only from the "devisers or heirs
at law" of a deceased proprietor: _ that the Rev^d Dr
Miles is not either a devisee or heir at law, although
a part owner, and therefore not eligible to said appointment.

He therefore recommended that the petition be not granted.

The report was accepted.

priated thereto."
