By  Gerard  Hallock, $29,723  95:
who,  accordingly,  on  the  23cl  of  April,  1853,  con-
veyed to  Thomas  R.  Trowbridge,  for  the  latter  and
his  brothers,  Henry  and  Ezekicl,  one  undivided  tenth
of  all  the  property  aforesaid,  and  to  Sidney  M.  Stone
*  This  distinction  in  the  cost  of  Church  and  Chapel  is  not  strictly
accurate,  as  some  of  the  bills  are  charged  to  the  Church  which  belong,
in  part,  to  the  Chapel,  and  vice  versa.  For  instance,  the  iron  railing  is
all  charged  to  the  Church,  while  the  stone  coping  on  which  it  rests,  is
all  charged  to  the  Chapel.  So,  likewise,  the  liorse-sheds  and  other
out-buildings  are  all  charged  to  the  Chiu-ch,  while  all  the  side-walk
pavement  on  Liberty  street  Is  charged  to  the  Chapel.  On  (ho  whole,
the  variations  from  exactness  about  balance  each  other.
f  Many  small  items,  amounting  to  several  hundred  dollars  in  tho
aggregate,  were  paid  by  the  principal  proprietor,  wilhoul  bcin.;-  inclu-
