Ordered Mr Hill to pay the Operator's bill from November 23, 1663 to January 20, 1663/4.
Ordered the Operator to bring in his bills weekly in future.
Dr Wilkins was asked to speak with the Operator as from himself, concerning his yearly salary, to try whether fifty pounds a year will content him, including the ten pounds allowed him for his constant attendance.
Dr Merret reported that he had spoken with the Secondaries of London and given them an extract of the Society's Charter, concerning power given them for taking bodies to dissect, and they would take notice of it publicly.
Mr Hill was ordered to pay five pounds and seven shilling and six pence for a box with anatomical instruments produced by Dr Charleton.
Dr Whistler moved that all the peculiar instruments chirurgical might be added to the anatomical, to make chirugical operations, besides dissection.
Mr Balle's accounts referred to the next meeting again. |
