They doubtless urged the affair on personal grounds; and presently, without any official action having been taken, the gallery was put up. This caused a division of feeling in the town, and when the matter was investigated the selectmen treacherously declared they had never sanctioned the addition, and that they even objected to it because it excluded the light. We shall never know whether the Selectmen had just awakened to the situation and resented the fact that they had been cozened, or whether with latter-day acumen, they had decided beforehand that this would be their course in case their sin should find them out. Though a meeting was called to settle the affair, the gallery was allowed to stand--being already built--but alas, it was not to stand for those who had lobbied for it. The three exclusive gentlemen were asked to acknowledge their f rowardness, which they did in these terms: We whose names are underwritten do acknow- ledge that it was our weakness that we were so inconsiderate as to make a small seat in the meeting house without more clear and full approbation of the town and selectmen thereof. Some excuses followed and the document proceeded: Therefore we desire that our failing therein shall be passed by; and if the town will grant our seats that we have been at so much cost in setting up, we thankfully acknowledge your love to us therein, and we do hereupon further engage ourselves that we will not give up or sell any of our places in that seat to any person or persons but who the elders shall approve of, or such as shall have power to place men in seats in the assembly. This sadly humiliating document was signed by Increase Atherton, Samuel Proct. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
