Edinburgh, M November 1874. — Having examined the foregoing Account of 

 Charge and Discharge, and the relative Capital or Sinking Fund Account be- 

 tween the Scottish Arboricultural Society and their Treasurer, Mr Thomas 

 Methven, for the year ending 31st October 1874, and compared the same with 

 the vouchers and instructions thereof, I have to report that the same are accu- 

 rately stated and sufficiently vouched. At the close of the Account of Charge 

 and Discharge there was a balance due by the Society to the National Bank of 

 Scotland of Thirteen pounds eighteen shillings and twopence (£13, 18s. 2d.), 

 and there remained in the hands of the Treasurer a sum of Four pounds nine- 

 teen shillings and sevenpence halfpenny (£4, 19s. 7^d.). The amount of the 

 Sinking Fund is now Seventy-seven pounds eighteen shillings (£77, 18s.), 

 which is placed on Deposit Receipt by the National Bank in name of the Society. 



John Ord Mackenzie, Auditor.
