should be no annual subscribers, and that therefore the only persons entitled to 



all the privileges of the Gardens should be the shareholders — the shares being of 



the value of £10 each. It was also resolved that visitors should be admitted to 



the Gardens on payment of a shilling, and children on payment of sixpence ; 



and that the Council should be empowered to admit visitors on still lower terms 



on particular days of the week, if they thought proper — this being intended to 



facilitate the admission of the working classes. "We believe it is intended 



. speedily to publish the laws at length. The following are the names of the
