board, on the Wednesday after each quarter-day, is to appoint such

business to be laid before such board.
VIII. The weekly board may, as often as they see occasion, appoint
special general boards to be held (during the intervals between the
quarterly general boards;) and may call a special general board when
required by any seven trustees; giving notice in the summons of the
occasion of calling such special board.
IX. If a ballot be demanded by three or more trustees at any quarterly
or special general board, the chairman is to appoint a special general
board for taking the same, at any time after fourteen days, and not
exceeding twenty-one days, from the demand of such ballot; which is
to begin at eleven o’clock in the forenoon, and be closed at two in
the afternoon: And notice of such ballot, and the question on which it
was demanded, is to be given to the trustees in the summons, and be
advertised in some of the public papers.
X. All general boards are to consist of at least thirteen trustees.
XI. No standing order of this society is to be repealed, or altered, or
