Minutes.
At a meeting held at Tottlebank July 2nd 1842 the case of our brethren at Kirby was brought forward when by the unanimous vote of the church Geo. Barr, Wm. Barr, John Stephenson, Edward Turner, Aggy Barr, John Johnson, Anthony Todd and Ann Todd were excluded from communion having long troubled the peace of the church and caused divisions. May God restore them to us again being brought from the error of their way.

At a church meeting held July 24th 1842 James Postlethwaite, Mary Postlethwaite, James Barr, Sarah Turner and Wm. Robinson were cut off from our number by the unanimous vote of the church having been visited by the pastor of the church and found intentionally absenting themselves and confederated with their brethren whose case had received the decisions and discipline of the church before. May the prayers of the church for their recovery be heard and answered. All the foregoing persons were duly written to and acquainted with the decisions of the church respecting this.
