 Committee : — 



As President, Mr. G. Massee.

 Ford North. 



Other officers as before. 



The Auditor appointed by the Committee on their behalf was 

 Mr. J. M. Allen. 



The members were then invited to nominate five gentlemen for 

 election on the Committee to fill vacancies caused by the retire- 

 ment of Messrs. Western, Earland, Allen, Harris, and Ingpen, 

 all of whom were eligible for re-election except Mr. Ingpen, who 

 had removed from the neighbourhood of London and would be 

 unable to attend. 



Mr. Western said that he should much prefer not being called 

 upon to serve again, as his health was uncertain, and would 

 probably interfere with his attendance.
