1891-92]. TWENTY-FIRST MEETING. 313° 
At least fourteen days previous to the annual election in each year, the 
Secretary and Treasurer shall prepare and sign a roll of the names and addresses 
of members who have paid their subscriptions, and are in good standing. Such 
roll, which shall be subject to correction by the Council only, shall be hung up 
in the Reading Room, and only those whose names appear on it shall be entitled 
to vote or hold office. 
The Council shall have power to remit the annual subscription or arrears 
thereof in case of a member who, from ill health, advanced age, or other sufti- 
cient cause, is unable to pay the same, or to accept from him in lieu thereof any 
manuscripts, books, drawings, models, or specimens which are in their opinion 
valuable to the Institute. But each case must be considered and reported on 
by a committee of Council appointed for such purpose. 
10. If any complaint is brought against a member, the charge shall be in 
writing, signed by the complainant, and shall be considered by the Council, and 
opportunity given for a reply. If the Council deem it desirable, they may 
then call a special general meeting for the consideration of the matter at issue, 
of which not less than a week’s notice shall be given, and if two-thirds of 
the members present at that meeting are of opinion that such member should 
be expelled, the officer presiding thereat shall pronounce his expulsion, and the 
fee paid by the member for the current year shall be refunded to him. 
11. For the study of special branches of Literature, Science, and Art, mem- 
bers may group themselves into such Sections as the Council may from time to 
time approve, subject to the ratification of the Institute at any of its ordinary 
meetings. Each Section shall form its own regulations and by-laws, but subject 
to the sanction of the Council, to whom they shall be transmitted for that 
purpose. Associate members who join any Section may vote and hold any office 
therein, except that of Chairman, and take part in all its proceedings. 
SECTION II. 
OF THE OFFICERS AND COUNCIL, AND THE MODE OF THEIR ELECTION. 
1. At the annual general meeting, which shall be held on the first Saturday 
in May (unless that day falls upon a holiday, and then on the following Satur- 
day), there shall be elected a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, a 
Treasurer, an Editor, a Librarian, a Curator, and six other members to form 
the Council. 
2. The election shall be confined to those nominated for such positions at the 
last ordinary meeting in April, but any one nominated to an office, and not 
elected thereto, shall be eligible as a Councillor without office. 
3. Election shall be by ballot, and the Chairman shall appoint two Scrutineers 
to receive and examine the votes, and report them to him for a declaration of 
the result.
