Philip Hunt, Robert Moore, Thomas Barber. The Gaoler reported that James Yarrow, who had impeached & given evidence against his accomplice James Walker, has been so abused and insulted by his comrades that it has been necessary to send him to a separate ward.

Dr Hunt reported that he had ordered a silver cup and paten, for the use of the chapel, and which were used in administering the communion to James Walker on Saturday last.
