After laying an assessment of 18 9 on each member, 

 for the service of the ensuing season, an adjournment took 

 place until the first day of May, to meet at the Castle. 



At the following October meeting, held at the Castle, 

 on the 17th of that month, the election resulted in the 

 choice of. 



His Excellency, Samuel Morris, Esq. Governor. 



Josiah Bewes, Esq. Lt. Governor and Counsellor. 



William Hall, Esq. Counsellor. 



Andrew Tybout, Esq. Treasurer and Counsellor. 



Benjamin Scull, Esq. Coroner, and 



Francis Johnston, Esq. Secretary. 



All these gentlemen continued to be annually re-elect- 

 ed for many years, and served with assiduity in their re- 

 spective stations. 



In the following Spring, March 1790, Messrs. John 

 Donaldson, Thomas Forrest and Robert Wharton, were 

 duly admitted to membership. 



The next season opened with flattering prospects, as 

 the gentlemen associated, were generally fishermen by 

 inclination, and of these choice materials, the company 

 ought ever to consist, and of none others; as such was the 

 design at its organization. 



A well for Spring water was ordered to be dug and 

 walled, cedar posts and paling erected around the occu- 

 pied grounds, and the fleet repaired for service, &c.
