left in the meeting-house after the publick worship is over; Voted
that the Saxton make diligent search on the Lords Day evening and in
the evening after a Lecture, to see if any stoves are left in the
house, and that if he find any there he take them to his house; and

satisfaction to the Saxton for his trouble before they take them
away."

A baby hutt was a booby-hutch, a clumsy, ill-contrived covered
carriage. The word is still used in some parts of England, and a
curious survival of it in New England is the word booby-hut applied

runners. Mr. Howells uses the word booby in the latter
signification, and it may be heard frequently in eastern
Massachusetts, particularly in Boston.
