This book lists pew subscriptions, burial fees etc from 1803 to 1816.
It is the last of four similar account books (or 'seat books'), in all of which the church's pastor (Rev. Thomas Durant in this book) was paid from the subscriptions and fees collected (according to rules detailed in the church's Minute Book).
This seat book differs from the others in that it includes burial fees and various incidental expenses. The latter included the supply of oil for the lighting, trimming the wicks and cutting the grass. Perhaps the most interesting expense were the fees paid for 'supplying the pulpit', i.e. the fee for guest preachers. SSCC

This document had been prepared for a court case, following the ejection of Rev. Samuel Philipps and his supporters from the Great Presbyterian Meeting House, Hill Street, Poole in late 1759. However, the would-be plaintiffs later decided (as stated within the document) against going to court to resolve the dispute, guided by ‘Christian discretion’.
It vividly reveals the acrimonious events that ended Rev. Philipps’ ministry, and the lengths to which the victorious Unitarian party went to permanently exclude the expelled Trinitarians. The fundamentally opposing theologies were at the root of the disagreement, although there may have been other factors too. SSCC
