9. — After the Society has existed for one year all new members 

 shall be admitted by ballot, at a General Meeting of the Society, on 

 such tenns as that Meeting shall appoint; but the Council may, at 

 any of its Meetings, admit to the benefits of the Institution, 

 additional Subscribers, paying Twelve Shillings yearly in advance. 

 Such Subscribers shall be admitted by ballot, a majority of at least 

 three-fourths of the members present being required for their 

 admission; and they shall have no share in the property of the 

 Society, have no vote at its Meetings, and shall not hold any office 

 in it ; but they shall have the privilege of introducing Strangers to 

 the Museum, as well as persons belonging to their own families. 



10. — Gentlemen who have rendered important services to the 

 Society, may be elected Honorary Members, without paying any 

 subscription; but such Honorary Members shall have no share in 

 the property of the Society, or in the management of its concerns. 



11. — ^The Museum shall be open to the public one day in each 

 month, under such restrictions as the Council may deem necessary. 



12.— The proportion which each member has in the property of 

 the Society, shall be according to the whole amount paid for his 

 share ; and should the Institution ever be dissolved, the property shall 

 be divided accordingly. But in the event of such dissolution, all 

 donations shall be returned, if required, to the donors, or their 

 representatives; and all members who have sold property to the 

 Society at a reduced price, shall have the option of re-purchasing it 

 at the same price, 



13. — Each Member of the Society shall be at liberty to sell or 

 dispose of his share ; and, if not previously disposed of, it shall, at 

 his death, descend to his representative : but the Society shall decide, 

 by ballot, whether the purchaser or representative shall be admitted 

 as a member of the Institution. When any share is transferred, all 

 arrears due upon it must be paid up; and the representative or 

 assignee of a Life-Governor shall not be exempted from the Annual 

 Subscription of Half a Guinea, without paying a sum of Five 

 Guineas in lieu of such subscription. 



14. — The annual subscriptions shall be paid to the Treasurer in 

 advance, in the month of November, or within a month after the 

 General Meeting, in each year. If any Member neglect to pay his 

 subscription before the ensuing Annual Meeting, he shall be ex- 

 cluded from the benefits of the Institution, until all arrears due on 

 his share be paid up ; and if any Member shall neglect paying his 

 subscription for two years, he shall, after notice given him to that 

 effect, be excluded from the Society, and shall forfeit all right and 

 interest in the property of the Institution.
