_Inp._--That there shall be but one meal a-day in the Hall, and
that a dinner, because the supper is the more expensive meal by
reason of coals, &c. 2. That every Fellow be allowed but three
pence in the Kitchen per diem, and one penny in the Buttery.
3. That the Scholars be allowed their full allowance according
to the Statutes, but after this manner, viz.:--To each Scholar
in the Kitchen two pence per diem, except on Friday, on which
but three half pence. To each Scholar in the Buttery his usuall
allowance, which was one penny half penny per diem. To each
Scholar at night shall be allowed out of the Buttery one half
penny in cheese or butter, except on Friday night, and that will
compleat the Statute allowance. 4. That whereas the Statute
allowance to each Fellow in Buttery and Kitchen is five shillings
and three pence per week, and the present allowance comes but
to two shillings and four pence, therefore it is ordered that
whenever the College is able, the first payments shall be made to
the Fellows to compleat their Statute allowance in Commons. All
these clauses above mentioned are to be understood in relation to
those that are resident. And if it shall happen that the Society
shall be forc’t to break up, and quit the place through extreme
necessity, or any publick calamity, that then all members of the
said Society shall for the interim have full title and claim to
all profits and allowances in their severall stations and offices
respectively, when it shall please God to bring about a happy
restoration. 5. That proportionable deductions be made from what
was formerly allow’d to the Cooks for decrements, furzes, &c. 6.
That the additional charge of Saturday’s dinners be laid aside.
7. That for the future no Scholar of the House be allow’d Commons
that is indebted to his Tutor, and that no Master of Arts, Fellow
Commoner, or Pensioner, be kept in Commons that has not deposited
sufficient caution money in the Bursar’s hands. 8. That whereas
we are resolved to keep up the Society as long as possibly we
can, therefore ’tis ordered that as soon as the College money
shall fail, all the plate now in our custody be sold or pawned
to defray the charges above mentioned. We, the Visitors of the
College above mentioned, having considered the expediency of the
above retrenchment, do allow and approve thereof.
