Mr. Joun Anpenson, treasurer, then submitted the ac- 
counts for the past year, duly audited by Robert Gray, 
Esq., and Samuel Archer, Esq.; and trom this statement 
it appeared that a balance of £100 2s 11d remained to be 
carried over to credit of new account. Inaddition to this 
floating balance a sum of £400 was invested in Northern 
Counties preference shares. 
Dr. Hopces moved, and Mr. R. L. Paterson seconded :— 
“That the council’s report as read, and the treasurer's 
statement of accounts be adopted, printed, and circulated 
amongst the shareholders and members, along with a list 
of shareholders and members.” 
The various deeds of tenure and other documents were 
then exhibited, checked over, and found all cerrect. The 
desirability of increasing the present amount of fire insur- 
ance, £4,600, to a larger sum was then discussed, and was 
referred for decision to the council about to be elected. 
A ballot was then taken for a new council of manage- 
ment for 1872-73, and the following fifteen gentle- 
men were declared duly elected :—Robert M‘Adam, 
Thomas Andrews, M.D., F.R.S.; A. O'D. Taylor, 
Joseph John Murphy, F.G.8.; James Thomson, 
LL.D.; John F. Hodges, M.D.; Henry Burden, M.D. ;
