HON. TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1893. 



From the following Financial Statement it will be seen that the 

 result dt the transactions of the Society for the year 1893, is not 

 altogether satisfactory. 



The amount received as Subscriptions, &c., proper to the year is 

 jC3^ I2S., and the expenditure amounts to ^t,-j 14s. id., shewing that 

 the latter exceeds the former by;^i 2s. id. 



The number of Subscribers whose names appear in the front of the 

 Report is 71, five having resigned this year and one being dead. The 

 names of Col. Horsley and Mr. B. H. Flint were accidentally omitted 

 from the list of subscribers in the report of 1891. 



Of the 7 1 Subscribers the subscriptions of seven are in arrear, a 

 portion of the amount thus due to the Society will probably be paid, 

 but I do not think more than two or three pounds can be relied on. 



Soon after being appointed your Honorary Treasurer, I received 

 from the Executors of the late Colonel Horsley, a number of documents 

 and books, consisting of Memoranda, Receipts, Bills, &c. ; also Cash, 

 7s. and :^3 12s. 6d., the latter said to belong to the Publishing Fund. 

 The Balance due by the Society to this Fund was shewn at end of the 

 year 1892 as;^6 i8s., the difference of ;^3 5s. 6d., would appear to 

 have been due to this Fund. This sum being due from the late 

 Treasurer reduces the debt to his Estate from j£i4 3s. 5^d. to ;^io 

 17s. iiid. 



A letter of explanation of the above was addressed by our 

 President to Mr. Geo. S. Saunders, from whose letter in reply, I beg to 

 give the following extract : — 



" I, as one of the Trustees, shall have great pleasure in 

 " doing what I can in this matter to help your Society." 



It is, therefore, not known at present what demand will be made 

 on the Society in respect of the sum mentioned. 



The Publishing Fund Subscriptions are brought into the General 

 Fund of the Society, ;£i 15s., having been received towards it in 1893. 

 The Fund in question now amounts to ;^8 13s., so that this sum 

 is placed as a liability against the assets.
