Note
As part of his salary as Head Porter George Fleet received the grass fines and half the gate fines.
At a meeting of the Master and Fellows on 8 October 1904 it was agreed that grass fines would be reduced from 2s 6d to 1s and they should be strictly enforced. 2d out of every shilling fine was to be paid to the porter inflicting the fine and that out of the existing balance of the Grass Fines account a part be devoted to the repairs of certain staircases, the re-pavement of the Cloisters, the keeping in repair of the College lawns, and the paving of part of the College Courts with stone instead of cobbles [MCGB/4/2/1]
