Upon reading the petition of Mr. Thomas Griffith, one of the Council, for ground to extend the frontage of his intended buildings in place of a house or houses in Watergate Street next to the Cross which he was pulling down, and if he ever purchased Mr. Timothy Leftwiche's right to the stalls in the Row and the shops underneath intermixed with the old houses and the intended new buildings then he would alter the steps at the end of Watergate Row to end in Bridge Street fronting the Cross and slope off the corner of the end buildings on the ground floor (up to the Row) leading out of Bridge Street into Watergate Street (ZA/B/4/212) to make the turning less sharp and dangerous (as shown on the plan), a grant was so made.

Upon the petition of John Goostrey, present occupier of the Exchange Assembly room and of the subscribers to the Exchange Assembly, it was ordered he have a lease of the Exchange Assembly room with the kitchen, vaults, shops and rooms in his occupation by an order of the last Assembly, for seven years from 25th March at £35 yearly rent payable half yearly with provision for the Mayor to use the same for Corporate entertainments (ZA/B/4/212v) and with a proviso that the majority of subscribers to the dancing assembly at the Exchange room may appoint other tenants by writing if they certify in writing any complaint against John Goostrey and shall give security to the Corporation for payment of any arrears of rent. John Goostrey was to act as trustee for the subscribers to the Assembly.
