the Curators or the Secretaries may admit members or strangers to 

 the Museum on those days when it is usually shut. 



*^* This Regulation is modified by the 11th. 



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 terms 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 IMembers, 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.
